Don't feel bad ... I couldn't remember any army rank structure if my life depended on it.

HOW IS YOUR WEATHER DOWN THERE T-RAD
BUMMER ON THE TRUCK
Thanks for asking Claude, cold here today. Twenty eight degrees and blowing snow until 1100 today. Monday it was 68 and the storms rolled in Tuesday morning. There were 11 counties affected by the storms. In my county, Jefferson, and neighboring Shelby county, there were 42,000 without power. My daughter called today to tell me the noon news released info on the storm that hit near her. Turns out it was a tornado and came within one half mile of her. OK, I'm officially not happy with that. On a side note, grandson just cut his first tooth at 5.5 moinths. Whoopie!

Evening all,

Cool 40's and clear in NW Houston, Dinner was good. Was expermenting in the kitchen laboratory from a new cook book. Wife liked the food, but the recipes did not have the nutritional values. She is getting serious about losing weight and getting her diabetes under contor.

PW OUCH, be careful. Don't they have you wearing hard hats?

Chaikwa, I'm here, so if your not here, you are there. If that is now where you are then you are lost. If you are lost, follow the pink sprinkles back to the break room. Which by the way needs some of your attention.

Wanna be did not know you were going in for some repair work on you. They will still chage you for anasetic even if you go to sleep on your own.
Good luck on fixing the Harley fairing. That was quite a work out you put yourself thru. Can you post pix of some of the rescue training?

ChrisR shades for the big ball in the sky.

jr_d_d, yup them power tools can get you. My wife who has more power tools then I always says when I pick one up, "dangerous in the hands of amatures."

ofcmarc, you got your garage.

HAT, how ya doing? Got your wrist fixed, truck fixed, and blankie back?

Old dog, when the weather guessers crystal ball is all snow and cloudy they don't want to make a guess. Means be prepaired for anything. Now where are them Oh-rings.

Prudent student is working hard. Got stuff due tonight.

Off to sisters in the AM.

Have a good un and be safe out there.

Thanks for the good words about the job.

Yea Ha First day gone. Didn't really do much, did the sign on thing and then indoc stuff, ID card and waited and waited. Then it was home time super and workout, day is over before I knew it. Found out one furnace is starting on next Monday AM.

Heidi the rodeo is in November Usually the week of the 11th, remembrance day. Take him up on his offer for sure. It's a good time. Lots of extra things to do along with the rodeo. Lasts for a whole week. Should be able to find out more info on the net. Make sure you let me know if your planning to take him up on it.

Claude Asked a guy at work today about a rack. He's an avid hunter and he said he or his dad might have some at their cabin or the farm that aren't weathered. Said he would check when he goes out there soon. Just have to wait and see but that is the best lead I've got so far. Sounds promising.

Weather was nice all day +2 as a high and will be that way for the rest of the week.

Need to get some ZZZZ. Nighty night all.

Just putting the finishing touches on my latest antenna project.

Mornin, DTR!!! Somebody got an asprin?

Sorry the coffee was not on, Butch. Maybe if the guy that we paid as a janitor would come to work...

Ran into a guy I know up here (I'm in Portsmouth, Va) last night, we had a few beers and shot some stick. He spanked me pretty bad, but I demolished him on one game. He only got 1 ball off the table, and I was callin the 8... (it was luck, plain and simple) Good times, tho.

Gonna go see the Doc today, then split to go see some mountain man that I know in WV... He's a little crazy, he know's I'm comin, but I'm afraid he might shoot me...

See ya'll later. I don't know if I'll be on after I leave today, so it might be Friday night before I'm back on. It will be my first time driving in snow, hope I don't suck.

BEER!!! (where's the hic-up smilie?)
