The Water Cooler March 19 - 25

New week
Good thing the squids stayed out late on Liberty last night.
Didn't hear the Shore Patrol bringing them in, so they must be getting a little to old for their usual shenanigans.

No activity in the kitchen yet.
Coffee's ready, dog's been out.

Y'all B safe,

GOOD MORNIN' VIET NAM - - - or whatever.

Gorgeous Sunday morning - - everyone out, wash behind your eyes, put on your best bib and tucker and let's head to church. Then you can lay back and relax.

Have a gud urn,

Bob

Morning all,
Off to a power supply conference in downtown Dallas
Who schedules a conference to start on Sunday? (Engineers with no life apparently, I need a better vocation).
Today won't be so bad, tomorrow will suck with regular traffic.
This year it was supposed to be in New Orleans, and as it is my year to go from my group, I was excited. Until Katrina hit, then I knew it wouldn't be in NOLA. So they moved it to Dallas . I wanted to offer my seat to someone else, but they said no way, they will wait until its their turn and it is out of town.

Still raining

Haaa, the coffee is good....

Going up to see my Dad today. Need to work on the Cobra and figure out why the MSD distributor isn't advancing the timing like it should and do some last minute detailing. We will be taking the car to Texas Cobra meet near Austin next weekend. Hope the weather is nice.

Not sure about that particular distributer, but if it has flyweights and springs, check that the flyweights move freely and that one of the springs is not unhooked.

Monday........
This will be the first of many 4 day work weeks in a row until after Memorial day.
I like carry over vacation days.
Then I'll only have 6 more weeks of vacation to use before the end of the year.

Fresh waffles and bacon for breakfast. Yum-Yum.

Lots to do this week.
Several 'Back Burner' projects are getting the heat turned up this week.

Hope to get some OT.

Y'all B safe,

Holy snow shovels Batman!

We got 8" on the ground and 15" more on the way!

Someone call FEMA! I'll need a trailer, a $2,000 credit card, a place to stay for 6 months free, and OH YEA! a helocopter ride.

Hurry up now! I'm getting hungry!

That will only happen if there's a parking lot full of snow plows with no drivers buried in snow.
