Wow, Blake beeing speechless is a rare find ^^

@ Mad: Please no more pictures of your foot. Is the other one the same? I hit one of my windsurf board once at about 40° F water temperature with my left foot and you wouldn´t want to see the result. After 10 years it still looks ugly. But it could be worse.

But a good thing happened to me today, I might get a new job in a month. Had a nice guy visiting me today to get some stuff out of my appartment. Actually he´s the CEO of a bigger local company (electronics wholesale) that needs another IT guy to help with some SQL/IT stuff. Gave me his business card straight away. His wife sent him to get all that stuff

Time to get my SQL skills up again and send my CV.

Yeah, having a job is good, now press all the thumbs you have so I can get this one. I´m no expert at IT stuff though, basic SQL skills and have some moderation (forum) skills as I´m a mod at a windsurfing forum. Luckily that company has a forum and I think he was impressed with me. But I guess I´ll find out soon. And I´m learning fast, so it shouldn´t be such a big problem to get some more IT skills. I already have experience with selling HP servers, LeftHand storage etc, but administration of these would be new to me. But you always learn in life, so time to check this opportunity out. Though I´m more into customer relations, forums, blogs, RV stuff etc, but a job is a job and if it makes more fun than the old job I had, hey, I´ll go for it.
Dennis, what job are you into at the moment?

Going for a swim? You´re hardcore Blake. Or is the water at your area better now?

I guess smoking is not allowed at the beach at the moment

I hope you (and BP) get the water clean again in the next few weeks.

And never fight a Shaolin

Afternooner all!

Beautiful up here again. Just finnished washing Mama's T&C after replacing the leaky water pump. Not too bad of a job to do but it would gave been WAAAAAAy easier if the Chrysler engineering morons had made the pulley 1/2" smaller in diameter. Then you wouldn't have to pry the engine to the side to get the pulley out of the way......

Got a bunch of Sheetrock work done last night. All my holes are covered, murder and taped. Gotta finish the blending of the mud and a few other things but texture isn't farr off hen Mama can repaint.

Going to a surprise birthday party for my Grandpa tonight. The surprise worked on me too. I found out about it late last night...... He's going to be 86.

Gotta help the kids make G-Grandpa a birthday card.

Back later.

Dennis, here´s my list:
Hate politics --> check
Love women --> check
Love everything that´s powered by a strong engine (diesel preferred) --> check
Everything else is just a bonus

You all have a good evening/night!

Kris,

Yeah, Im hardcore. The oil will let me swim faster... LOL. At home we dont have many beaches. It all marsh and coastal estuaries. Not the pretty beaches youre thinking of. Now, about the swim, Im at the Super 8 in Marshall, Texas and from here the pool is shimmering....

Evening Marc, How is your dad doing with the treatments?

Evening Lil D

Ok, Now Im going swimming.

He's doing well. Got some blood work done yesterday and his RBC count was higher than it has been in the last 12/18 months! And so far the side effects of the chemo aren't too bad.

Man, that is funny... I might put that in my sig... Yeah, identical. Except for the busted toe.

Afternoon, DTR. I looked at the TOM poll at the same time that I spilled my ice cold drink (not beer, gatorade) on my bare stomach... That was a 2 for 1...

Gonna play with our pool, then put the muffler on my truck.
