Starting off nicely this morning.
Interesting conversation with the noobie troop at the main gate this AM.
My little stop by his flight Chief's office should go a long way toward clearing up the situation.

Temps mid 30s, heading for high 40's.
Snow to the West, dry here.

Day's gotta get better.
Need sleep, coffee, and more sleep.

Y'all B safe,

SHHEEEEESSSHHHHHHH, SURE NOISY AROUND HERE. Go drink your coffee and hush. Someone find that durn brush, please - - then things can settle down and give a body peace.

Another warm day here - - heading for 79, but low humidity - - should be nice. Another cold front coming tomorrow - - going down to 72.

Painting my hitch rails nice and shiny to match the pretty new hitch. Can't wait to see the difference in the way she rides with the air hitch.

Have a gudurn,

Bob

Um, you don't keep that tea in the little box on the shelf in the cupboard, do you? If it is, I am SO sorry! I've been using that to dump the crumb's and such into from under Top's desk. He always complains that I 'lose things', so I save whatever I find in or around his desk. (I think the 'green' in your green 'tea' is just mold or rug fuzz, nuthin' to worry about!)

chaikwa.

Tummy is way too full
The better half made it a point to feed me too much so that I would get sleepy and MAYBE sleep all night. This eyes failing open at 0130 is bs
Saw a really neat tool today. Stopped over at the welding shop to see the brand new trailers, for the Bobcats, getting modifed so the new deuce and a half could pull them. Seems that a hummer will not pull a loaded Bobcat, with all accessories, on a 14K trailer. Therefore the tongue is getting raised 10" to hook up behind something bigger. Here is a new $11,000 trailer that can't haul 23,000 lbs. Just because the person that ordered all six of them ain't got a clue, what's the problem? I won't get started on officers.
Anyway about the tool. It's a metal cutting "skil" saw. It sliced through the 10" channel like he was cutting a 2" x 10" board. Any of y'all use one? I was really impressed. Blades are expensive, but they're getting a lot of cutting done before resharpening/replacement.
Had a bunch of our signal guys get back from Iraq today. Good to see them again. No one got hurt. Their wonderful first shirt has at least 3 congressional investigations filed on him. Hope they s can him. Usless pos. Pure politician.
Yawning so much I can't see the screen, therefore I guess it's time to nap.

Where is everyone?
Look what I found while I was in the cupboard under the coffee pot looking for a little extra "kick" for my :

The Flitz!!! No wonder the coffee tastes like brake dust and wheel cleaner. I think the janitor cleaned out the pots with this thing after he was done detailing Tops truck.

Have a good one,

Wow, chilly out there this morning. Might have to have a long sleeve shirt on while eating my oatmeal out on the patio. Hot Coffee - - yeh. Heading up to 70 today - - cold. Brrrrr.

Got my hitch rails sanded and painted pretty to match the new hitch - - ready to install and go try it. Trouble is I will then have no excuse for not bringing the fiver home and washing and waxing it. gggrrrrrr, 36' never ends when you have a rag and wax in your hands. Maybe that will give me a good excuse to put on Scotty's Speedo and go lay in the sun by the pool.

Have a gudurn,

TiredAllReadyBob

Well, the 2-4" turned into like 10" yesterday. ANd now it's suppose to warm up again. Haven't had a good deep freeze yet. Not that I like the cold, but we get this heavy stuff and it warms up and the drive gets soft for the weekenders to goof it all up, then refreezes makeing the plowing fun. At least we got 'nuff snow this week that I could fabrica... accidently leave a nice burm in front of a trouble makers driveway...

Chaikwa, I had the brush repaired once, but before I shipped it, I had to field test it after dinner the other night. The duct tape didn't hold up so wel when it got wet. I think I found some left over 2-part epoxy that aughta do the job nicely. No, I'm not so sure your welder would be the best idea this time.
