Morning guys.. coffee brewing is going on its 2nd pot. Sitting at work, trying as hard as possible to be lazy, but so far its not really working out. Can't wait to get outta here in about 4 hours. Going up to see my fiancee again, and patiently wait for 30 days for our home purchase to close

Running way behind the power curve, so far behind I think I might be on top. Rolled in the door this AM @ 5:25. About the time most of you right minded people were think about sleeping for another hour or two.

Oh well, two hours sleep, and time to clean the office. coming ion on the tail end of that job now, and the inside of the truck is next. ( smells like a dead goat in there. Wonder why? ) Gotta love a work truck.

Sunny day, hot temps, and work still to be done, Enjoy all.

Guilty as charged for running behind. I woke up with the alarm at 0500 but still had more weekend to sleep off. Nothing an hour and a half of PT couldn't cure .

Making the final travel plans home over the weekend and I really don't like being that cramped up for 10-12 hours.

Enjoy the rest of the day ... mine is almost over.

Scott don't hurt yourself cutting that coffee. I once had a sargent stap himself in the chest opening a christmas present. Almost missed deployment. Finally getting back to normal temps around here. Time to start thinking about a fishing trip. Have been working on some flies though. Teaching myself to tie full-dress atlantic salmon flies. Boy they're a lot of work. Well, speaking of coffee... mines getting cold...

Howdy Campers,
Just gettin' on here after getting home from school.
My old brain has a hard enough time retaining the info its barely holding onto now without some 'Young' Whipper-Snapper instructor trying to stuff new info in there.
By the end of the week the new stuff will have displaced so much of the old stuff, I'll have to write my address on the back of my hand so I can get back home.

No milk & cookies waiting for me , ......No cartoons (worth watching), and I can't stand those 'talk' shows.

Gotta go fire up some gasoline-burning tools & cut grass.

Y'all B safe,

Hey Shovelhead, make sure you take off your school clothes before you go out to play!

Don, no worries about cutting myself... 2 things I'm not allowed to do here are cook and have something sharp! I hafta use one of those plastic picnic knives when I serve up my coffee in the AM!

Yeah, it's still a 'go'.

On a positive note, (or not, from what I hear), it's been moved from Chicago to Benton... 'something'. I can't remember some of these town names.

Got up early and skipped the DTR this morning and got to work before it got hot and smoky here.
My day was spent trying to order parts for computers and return the stuff I order by mistake! But other than that I started to clean out the ol' garage... I got to make room to fit all the toyz in!... Tight fit but it all fit now even the toolboxes!

Idaho is still burning here... The smoke is rolling over the mountain and the sky is orange and the sun is a funky shade of red...

Now... that its PM I going to chill out and catch up on the DTR stuff...

Sorry for missing the morning version...

... ain't really sure why my eyes insisted on opening long before the alarm clock went off but me and them is gonna have a talk later today I'm sure .

The drive in to work this morning was awesome !!! There was low lying fog up through the small valleys and fields ... really neat. You could only see the tall, pointed church steeples and red rooftops of the houses poking out of the fog.


Have a good un',
