The same way I justified 24 new hardhats for the kids I have coming out to the woodlot program at the end of the month... "I want them"!

It's more frustrating when this whole area within a 40 mile radius of Kalamazoo is literally flooded with media announcements about FREE SMOKE ALARMS and how we will come to their house and install them, again, for FREE, and we still have fires that kill little kids because the house had no smoke alarms. It ticks me off more than I can tell you. Unless someone has no TV, radio and gets no newspaper, there's no way you can tell me they 'didn't know'! There's PSA's running on channels 8 and 41 almost 3 times an hour all month. How can they say they didn't know! See what you've done Claude?

Hope there's still some coffee left. 10 degrees and 19" of snow this weekend. Where'd fall go?

Well, guess it's a good day to go get the new lift pump installed, just wish I had a bigger heater in the shop...

Hey Heidi. Nah, no warning. Takes ALOT to make me bite. I'm a pretty happy guy, mostly.

Well, they are adding to their cluelessness everyday. Hey Mark, didn't you apply at a Lowes?

HUH??? You rang??? I was hiding - - heard someone wanted me to do something so I ran. I'll try and find Bob if you REALLY need him - - like want to give him that money you owe him.

Really, I was out soaking in some vitamin D - - gorgeous but warm. In the 90's down here - - unseasonably warm - - should be cooling down - - maybe this week. Sure makes the pool feel good.

Wifey is down with the H1N1 so I am trying to be very careful while I take care of her. Had to run and teach my class this morning and sing a special in church, then headed back home to fix her din din. She has been down about 6 days now. Nasty stuff - - she is sleeping about 16 hours a day, but no fever. That has them a little baffled. Hate it when she is down - - to sweet a lady for this stuff.

OK, grabbing a ph00 and running - - take care,

Bob
ps: going back into hiding. YEH
pps: just thought - - maybe I could send someone a "virus" if they want one - - like the H1N1.

They see you get out of the truck and deny any knowledge of free smoke alarms and swear they have them...
That reminds me, I need to get some 9V batteries...

Hope the wife gets better Bob. I don't know if I had a touch of that or not, but I too had all the symptoms except the fever. I hope that was what it was, maybe my immunity will be built up against it a little more. And with the next 3 weeks we'll be spending in the schools with a million little drippy nosed, phlegm coughin' rug rats, I can use all the immunity I can get!
