We have the most relaxed IT guys ever.
Mostly because a form that I was required to sign upon getting my laptop stating that I was responsible for damages for the next 3 years.
I also had to buy my work cell phone (they pay the bill tho).
The only thing they provided is dual 24" monitors and a docking station. everything else I either plunder or bought.

Think something is triggering an allergy. Been blowing my nose all flippin day. Went to Wally's-mart and got some cough drops and some dayquil, niquil, and some fake pseudophedrine, see if that lets me sleep tonight.

Got some wood cut and gethered today. Knocked down a sizable hackberry out on the road bank to cut for next winter. Have several more to knock down so I can see north out my driveway. And an elm and an ash, all good sized trees. One hackberry I knocked down last fall was about 7/8 cured, if I had turned it over mid-summer with the tractor when it was here it would be fully seasoned. But with the cottonwood I was able to split today it won't creosote the stovepipe up too bad. The elm limb I cut off the one tree and cut up a couple months ago, the smaller stuff is ready to burn. The bigger pieces I will have to split and let sit out a while longer. Gotta get the glass for the truck ordered, hopefully they can get it in and get it installed Wednesday.

Today's thought:
'Black Friday' is a scam. If you had half a brain, you'd be mad they're over-charging you the other 364 days of the year!


C0ffee, tea & ph00 are ready.

Heidi - - appreciate the thoughts and prayers. Marian hustling fixing Tday dinner for 18, prepping her stuff for the trip to Seattle for 4 weeks to take care of the little ones. It is sunny and breezy here today, warm - - just heard the sand hill cranes squawking out the window - - looking out the window in my office at them. It is so purdy - - gardenias, Ixora, Mexican poppies, bougainvillea all blooming with white, reds, pinks, purples, yellow, plus the blue bells are going crazy. Looked the other way out the glass doors to the lanai and there are orchids blooming out there. And, hey - - I am out of venison - - I could use some. Swap ya for some gator tail. LOL Oh, yeh, you like to weld - - have a project you could help me on - - I can weld a bit, but not all that good. Rusted out channel frame on my old Porsche - - it is sitting in garage 2/3rds restored when I found the frame was gone. They only want $9000 to replace it. HUH???? Gotta get it done and son-in-law thinks maybe he can do it. Three sections, one inside the other - - very odd.

Claude, sounds like SIL is doing well for herself - - congrats. She can teach how to use that dum speeal korecshun thingeee onn da puter.

OK, gotta run - - goofed off long enough. First, very important thing.........................[coffee]................PHOO..................[laugh]...............thanks Scott.

Bob

Evenin. Good to see some regulars in here :)

Scott, that thing looks pretty good. Wish I had one for my smoker!

Hope all are well... it's getting colder, we had snow a couple of days ago. A dusting, not enough to stick. Pretty wild for where I'm at!

Had a little work done on the arm, don't know if that is what Claude was referring to. It's a little sore, but I'm feeling pretty good.

Just an old tendon injury I finally got fixed. I felt good enough to go outside today, that was a mistake ;)

No Top I'm working on the Pearl St I bought the house next door to mine to keep the riff raft out of the neighborhood.

Mad Hat that just looks painful here's to a speedy recovery.

madhat 11-25-2013 06:54 PM

Thanks, dude. I'm doing pretty good, I'm surprised at how well I've been doing. No pullups yet, but I feel pretty good.

Aaaaggg. That looks way worse than your LEGG did.

Burp! Still trying to recover from the tempura party last night. Moose, pork, chicken, shrimp, alligator, scallop and several vegetables. My favorite is broccoli but deep fried anything tastes good.

I should probably take an extra cholesterol pill.
