The Water Cooler, 19 June 2005 - 25 June 2005

Get your sorry behinds outa bed. I don't care if it's Fathers Day AND my 34th Wedding Anniversary. My wife has me up and at it and I think you should be doing the same.
It's gonna be a beautiful day outside. Temp around 89 and a light breeze. Gonna finish up the roof and have a few cold ones, or visa versa. Might even do both at the same time.

Got in late from big rig/diesel pickup pulls at The Buck, the four legged alarm clock woke me up at 6:30 and now I can't get back to sleep. This afternoon I'll probably fall asleep and miss the end of the race.

Happy Father's day to all the rest, and a a special congrats to Mrs. Shortround for putting up with his sorry behind for 34 years.

Daughter took me out to breakfast at Shoneys.
Feelin' like a swole up tick right now......hard to move.

Gonna go give the Beast a bath a little later.

Not too much else on the plan for today....just bein' lazy will be enough.

Mornin Folks,
Doing the 16-hour shuffle again today at work. Midnight to 1600 ,,,,,,
Happy Father's Day to all you Dads and and my own, who is still on "The United State's 5er Tour" with Mom and they are now visiting relatives in Tomah, WI. I'll give him a call later on today. He is still bragging about that new CTD and how well it's doing! They went the southern route all the way to CA and then up to WA and over. Should be back home in a few more weeks,,,,,,,,,,, only 1 flat tire on the 5er and luckily that was after they had come down out of the mountains in Montana. Dad said it will probably be a while before he can get Mom back up in any mountains,,,,,,,,,

Y'all have a good one,,,,,

Happy Monday,

Hope all of you dad's had a great day yesterday. Looks to be another fine day, probably in the 80's again.

SR, late congrats on your anniversary. That is a long time ... sure is good to see. Heck, that's about 33 years and 11 months longer than most Hollywood marriages last.
I will hit my 19th in August

Have a great day, y'all

Thank Goodness today is Monday and I'm back at my desk.
Woke up yesterday and told Wifey I wan't planning on doing anything work-wise.
Went out to the garage......
Decided to put the Cap back on the truck (by myself)never again, then washed vacuumed out the truck.
Then decided to pick up and clean my tools that were all over the garage after my last project, looked around and then moved everything out, swept it out, and rearranged all the stuff going back in.
I have daughter's fiance's lawn mower in the garage too 'cuz the storage shed next door was still cluttered.
Well, moved everything out of the shed, swept it out, dissassembled about a bazillion screws on an old metal shelf unit so I could dispose of it, and sawzalled apart an old built in double oven that I'd replaced a year and a half ago.

I need a day off to recover from my day off.............


Y'all B safe,

Mornin' all.
Hey Ed, I have a few things in my garage that I need stored elsewhere, got any more room?
Quiet weekend, grilled out with friends (didn't drink anything but water, refer to PistolWhipt's comment in last weeks cooler thread), called the old man and wished him happy father's day on Sunday. Rearrainged the office and the living room a bit and watched the boob tube. Of 150 channels, 3 are worth it (CNN, Disc, History).
Looks like its next week I go to Maryland.

Have a good one,
~Rob

Yep ... that was definately a Monday. I am sooooo tired of baby-sitting grown men . Simple things just boggle their minds ... God forbid we hold ourselves to any kind of a standard !!

"It don't matter if you fall down, as long as you pick something off the floor when you get back up."


Sorry ... off my box.

Time to find a frosty adult beverage and contemplate my next move to thoroughly tick them off ....

I can sure relate to that, I never could understand why some people choose to whine about stuff instead of just doing what they can. Life is a challenge everyday, some people take the lumps and move forward, others just complain.

Like my Daddy used to say, If you are going to be a man, then BE ONE!

PS, the trick is to fall down next to the least objectionable object you caqn pick up
