Evening Matt. Spaghetti sounds good. I grilled some burgers. Shiner Bock tonight. Talking to my girl on the phone right now. Anyone ever done a long distance relationship? Advice? We're in good standing right now, but want to do our best to keep it that way.

Work is going alright. Kinda stressed. Too much going on, but I guess that is a good thing. Made good money today! Hopefully our month ends well. I could use the xtra cash.

they need to start using crusher chips like they do here...

a good icing and you will slide for months on the chips on the road...

Just put a pack of hot hands down the side of your boots and the wool layers and get out and enjoy the crisp fresh air...

Shiner sounds good JB. Need to go pick up some tomorrow. I had a long distance relationship with my now fiancee for 6 months when her and I first started seeing each other. She was at school and I was still home working. I would go see her every couple weeks. It was a pain but it was only 6 months. Then when she graduated she got a job that required her to travel often, so i didn't see her much until the weekends still. She's been home and not traveling for a while, over a yr so I get to see her alot. It'll be 4 yrs as of the 15th of Jan I've been with her.

Some years back I was helping people move in -20 stuff. We made a mistake in moving their piano. The rapid cooling broke some strings and the TV never worked again either. Live and learn

Frosty- Its Mot That I Can`t Handle The Cold - Ive Got Carharts And Warm Boots - Just My Projects Arn`t Assesible With The Snow Pack !
Think About This - I Have A Verry Bad Back - I Can Work Around It In Warmer Weather But The Green House I Put Up Neads Winter Cover On It - This Would Require Me To Dig About 20 In Of Hard Pack Snow And Ice 17 Ftx2 + 48 Ft X2 - That Might Be A Problem With A Good Back !
South Side Is About 18 In From A Fence -(one Of The 48 Fters ) The Wesr End Is About 3 Ft From A Fence .
Just Is No Easy Way To Do It Couldn`t Eaven Get A Snow Blower In There.

I Some How Will Get It Done Little By Little So I Can Install The Wood Stoves I Have To Put In There .
Once I Get A Cover On It And Let The Wood Stoves Thaw Things Out There Is A Lot Of Things I Can Do In There This Winter Getting It Ready .
Mean While It Sitts There Staring At Me Every Day Just Bugging Me

Good to see another kid growin up right. He has a good job at his age, if anything he'll at least learn how to work hard and do good work. Something my brother and sister never have done. At 17 I work for a water company turning water main valves and always the bigger one too. Also worked on trucks and operated heavy equipment at 18. Busted my chops from high school though college and now have a good paying job that treats me well. Don't have to bust my butt as much now but workin hard sure did pay off.

Old Dog, good luck to your son in college. From what i have experienced it will help when he goes to get a job afterwards. I took 2 yrs in diesel and 2 yrs of machining and it helped finding a job when I got out of school. Sounds like he has his head where it should be...on his shoulders and not in the clouds.
