Holy Crap!!!! was that Jack??? - Talk about a full house!

Hey Jack, Susanne is on her way to her mothers, thanks for the help. You too Lary. Scary stuff. Take care of that legg!!! Lary don't need no more competition, and you need to be able to drag those folks off the highway.

Shorts, you can have all you want, There in the fridge, pans in the bottom drawer, not much else in the fridge so you'll have to make due. There are a crap load of fresh eggs though. WyoMex breakfast, might have something new there... Probably need sheep to be authentic though.

Mad, good to see ya!!

I'm off folks, gotta catch a puddle jumper in the AM, off to lovely San Antonio... COME AND TAKE IT!!!



man I love that story...

Ya'll be good.

From: Whitehorse, cultural hub of the universe..
So there we were, mid November, no snow to speak of, moderate temperatures. Cruising along through "winter". In the span of a week, we got pretty much all of our normal winter's snow, and last night made the first -40 of the season. And, with the coolish temps came the yearly "retard rodeo" of truck drivers. Frozen brakes, frozen valves, frozen suspension, fifth wheels frozen shut, guys spinning out AT the loading dock, etc. It's hard to believe these are the same guys that drive here all year round.

Guess it's true with the new breed of drivers, have to retrain them for every season.

Otherwise, things are going swimmingly. Days are getting a little shorter, but only for another month, then begins the slow slide into summer. Firewood is coming along well, still shopping for another service truck, ( think one day I'll be smart enough to get OFF the road?? ).

For the extended warranty crew. Take care of your body people, its the only one you've got. Especially Mad, you're still a young guy, don't waste it yet.

On the other hand, what fun would life be if we didn't creak, groan, and sound like a bowl of rice krispies when waking up. Then slowly stumble into the day, gradually coming up to full operating speed, and go like heck all day long. Then, eat dinner late, and go to sleep listening to the gentle sounds of our arteries hardening. That right there is a full life.

Have a great day people

I almost posted the same thing, thought she was blonde also. Odd how you have certain idea of what someone looks like over the net, sometimes your are dead on, and sometimes you are way off. I have meet several people from another forum I'm on, they were surprised that I was not white(I'm from rural MN).

I been in a LOT of fights over the years and never been beat EXCEPT by a woman Long story short: I was at a Grocery store about midnight picking up a 12 pack and I saw a buddies 67 Mustang and I hollered at him "Hey whats Up expletive?" the guy in the car said "Nobody calls me a expletive" at which point I realized this wasn't my friend

He unfolds himself from the car all 6'6" or more of him and proceeds to tell me he is a Collegiate State Wrestling Champion and that he is about to wup my hiney pooper"....I am trying to tell him that I mistook him for a friend and I was apologizing when he made a believer out of me and slammed me face down on the pavement.

Well now that I believe he is ABSOLUTELY not fibbing about being a good wrestler (after all he picked me up and slammed me down before I knew it was coming) It doesn't take me long to realize I had better get to fighting or get to hurting one

I surprised him by rolling out from under him so quickly (remember I am a believer now and don't plan on dying in this parking lot ) and I ended up on top of him just long enough to hit him square in the snoz when the lights went dim

Seems my buddy who was watching my back crawled under the car to retrieve the guys watch (it flew off in the shuffle) as a trophy allowing his GF to sneak up behind me and hit me in the head with a wine bottle

I tell you that woman put a hurting on me I will NEVER forget. I am certain I had at least a minor skull fracture as I saw double for about 4 days and could not get off the couch. I did end up with his watch but I would happily have returned it because it was my fault for misstaking his identity and calling him a expletive

Moral of the story is....look out for the woman....cause the guy may beat you up but the woman will kill you

On the job injury? Glad to hear your doing well with it. Bet you did not need a fat lady cart while shopping....

Be safe back at work and remember while issuing a citation or doing an investigation to respect the veteran law breakers. Did you guys get your man training yet? Ours is scheduled for January, guess it skirts till then.

Yup.

Early morning, can't get back to sleep. Lights are on, so is the brew. Don't be the last in or there will be nothing left for you.
