Howdy from the East Coast.

Coffee being administered via IV this morning.

Lots to do, ambition level at zero.

Still cool, with chance of sprinkles, Temps 'sposed to be heading for the 60s by the end of the week.
Old man Winter seems to be loosing his grasp on the region.

At first I thought the cold sounded bad, but now I'm thinking the worst part of that story was that you had to mess with Microsoft SQL Server.

Good Morning.... all of y'all should be up and at work by now... just climbing out of the rack myself.........

Been warm here the last couple days, in the mid 60's and finally got a little bit of much needed rain.
Sunday I decided it was warm enough to get some pipe fencing I had been working on finished, so decidedI didnt need help to lift some 3 inch oildfield pipe into place for the cap rail. 32 foot lengths, weighs about a ton. Think I tore my deltoid in my right shoulder doing it myself..cant raise my arm above shoulder level...
Good news is the case of GS cookies i ordered are here.. pig out on "Thin Mints" time!! Boxes are smaller again this year, but love those cookies....
Guess its getting warm enough to go out and get the tools picked up and put away from yesterday......
Y'all have good one

rubbinginmintBenGayandpiggingoutonmintcookies..... ...........CD

Holy smoke - - yesterday it was Pistol, today it is SR - - you guys are about as dainty as a giraffe on a frozen river. I am accustomed to be addressed very gently and quietly to wake me up and have a cup of coffee for me in your hands. Now, shape up.

Gorgeous day back in Paradise - - good to be home - - fun to go, fun to come home. Running around doing all the stuff that doesn't get done from a week being gone. The Ghost is filthy from the horrible weather and road grime. Sooooo, better get busy and shine her up. And all that in my shorts and no shirt - - did I mention gorgeous weather? YEH

Shortrounds been at it longer than I have ... I only been ornry for the past 10 years or so ... he's been that way since Christ was a deck seaman !!

Managed to make it through the first day back at work ... barely. Jumped into the PT way too deep this morning and almost dropped out at chow ... had a few Army boys at my table with some concerned looks on their faces . May need to throttle back a notch or two for a few days.

Got to the house this evening to find that the heat isn't heatin. Brand new unit ... wonder what the issue is . Not too cold yet but I'm sure it will be a little uncomfortable about 0300. May have to stuff a couple MRE heaters in my socks to keep toasty .

Hope you all had a better day than I did ...

PT??? Doesn't that stand for Pop a Top?
Chrisreyn, that's an awfully weak Reville you have there. If you can't do any better, you will have to be replaced. Therefore, you are required to practice at least 30 minutes per hour until further notice. Check with me tomorrow and I'll evaluate your progress.

Tuesday means Monday is FINALLY over.

New cable contractor to replace the old one just means we get to live through the same mistakes again while they get up to speed.
Spent 4 hours yesterday to accomplish 15 minutes of work due to lack of Q.A. checking up on their work.

Coffee's ready.
Oatmeal gone.
STD list for today printed.
NOW I just gotta find enough energy to get my sorry behind outta this chair.

Y'all B safe,

Sheesh, what a noisy bunch!!!! Heard you all the way down here!!! Don't you have any respect for some of us retired folks who may want to sleep in just a little?
Now that you noisy ****** (insert your fav bad word) have got me up I have been forced to go for a coffee and get my day started early.
Tomorrow can we have a little peace and queit please? Chrisreyn, please don't listen to that noisy SR tomorrow and SR, try rolling your trash cans underwater tomorrow.

Chris, you are worse than PistolPete and SR - - HUSH IT UP. I am not accustomed to rude awakenings. A gentle back rub along with the aroma of my fresh cup of coffee sitting on the night stand would be appreciated. You will warp my personality. Get 'em Stan.

Gorgeous morning here - - - again. What can I say? Guess I will just be forced into breakfast on the patio again. Tough - - I hate it. Hey, Chris - - the coffee was good - - at least you did that right.

Have a great day, gang.
