Hmmm, thought you were trying to look like the "other" Scott.

Too cold up there, big boy. OUCH - - - oh, excuse me, I have to go take another dip in the pool. ha ha - - - that would be a mistake - - that water is cold right now. Must be down to about 75 or so.

Busy busy busy - fixed Sis-in-laws car today for her. Off to a big family wedding tomory. Should be a beauty from all the plans I have seen. Out of town is here. Heading back to frozen tundra Sunday. They don't want to leave - - told them they have to, the next group arrives Tuesday. Oh boy!!!

OK, grabbing a ph00 and off to supper. Be good. Talk to ya Sunday.

Like I said before. Get her a vacuum cleaner. They really like them and will talk about it for years and years and years

Trying to get home and another late flight for Southwest out of Portland, I remember when they were always on time and it was the others that were late. Only good thing with Southwest though is no penalty fee for changing your flight. What made this a perfect day though was getting to ride in the cab of the WES Train between Wilsonville and Beaverton. That was so cool!

Oh, I don’t think it matters. Just getting her a vacuum cleaner for the anniversary instead of something personal will make her understand just what a caring individual you are. I actually did buy mine a dishwasher a long time ago but (thanks to my brothers advice) I also put a dozen roses in it and took her out to dinner.

Neat stuff! Kinda suprised in this age that they let you do that.

Doesn't really matter as long as it's an upright. Buy her a canister type and you might get beat to death with the hose and wand before you can explain it was a joke and her real present hasn't arrived yet.

Yup. Thats the difference between guys and gals (not saying all are like that Heidi!). If my wife got me a really nice leaf blower, I would think it was the coolest thing ever. If I bought my wife a leaf blower, I would wind up having to sleep with it on the couch. Hmmm, would I rather sleep with a leaf blower or a vacuum cleaner---best not to go there.

I think the vacuum is a good idea. Get her a Kenmore upright and let her know its rated very high in Consumers Report...maybe get her Consumers Report too.

Late night at work...nap time.

Just took a nice buffalo steak out of the freezer for my mid day meal.

Later folks.

Morning. Sorry I have been absent, I was busy for a day or so and got behind on the posts. Did I miss anything pertinent?

Got back from San Diego yesterday afternoon. I wish I could have seen more of the place in the daylight, but we were in class all day, and by the time we got out, it was dark. I did get around a little and see a friend and make a new one. Traffic there is

Kinda chillin today, waiting for the turbo to come back. HTT said it was not as bad as I thought, but I had the bearings replaced anyhow. Might fool with the truck a little today, I don't know.

See ya'll.
