Red, what did you do to keep people from standing around the cooler? I didn't think you smelled that bad.
Had one phase of power go out and I ALMOST got everything shut down before the other phases dumped. Alarms and computers going nuts. Also, the Bat Cave gets really dark without lights.
Got 16 pieces of 3" x 4.1 x 89" and 5 at 72 3/4 " channel cut, blasted, and primed. Stuff gets heavy after a while. Also got 2 each 4' x 8' x 1/4" plate for $50 from a salvage yard. Running $200+ retail.
Weather beautiful till the weekend, then rain, again.
Need to get back to it. I wonder why my copy of Machinery's Handbook still has a chapter on slide rules? Could it be outdated?

If it still tells you how to add things using an abacus, you may want a new one.

If you get it fixed up before Feb 11th, don't bother shipping it, just bring it to the dinnah... we can use it to clean out the water glasses before we eat!

Ours was kind of fun last year, "Diversity in the Workplace." It was online, and in addition to the boring multiple choice questions, there were "role-playing" exercises as well. That was the fun part, because you could put words in the little video characters' mouths... Any words. Quite liberating...

I'm not revealing how long it took me to pass that part of the training.

Bad thing was, their programmers must have been smoking crack when they wrote the scoring module. It didn't work at all; in fact it was so bad, I ended up calling the company that ran the website and asking them, "Were your programmers on crack when they wrote this?"

Well I need to grab some new sunglasses... haven't seen the sun in so long they got pretty beet up in the car. Lots of sunlight today, almost took a mental health day. Dash boards don't do polarized lenses any justice. I guess I'll have another back up pair for Chaikwa to use if he ever comes up fishing... I've been suspicious of him being scared of the water... or maybe just getting wet.


SR, I resemble that!

Scared? SCARED??? The only thing I'm scared of is showing you how to REALLY catch fish! Gimme a stick, bobber, worm and a piece of string and we'll fill a freezer in 20 minutes! Ok, an hour... Ya can't fish correctly without takin' a nap too!

And I ain't scared of gettin' wet neither. I get wet every 30 days or so when I have my monthly bath!

Been up since 0400 ... lovin life !!

Spent the morning rinsing and hanging parachutes ... a bunch of them ... outside ... in the cold ... in the middle of January .... with several inches of snow on the ground .... (insert whiney-faced smiley here).

Should be good to go once the feeling comes back to my extremities.

Chris, was that sexual harrassment training a "how-to" or a "DIY" course ??? I wonder if I could collect per diem for that training ???

Anyone from San Diego ??? What's the weather like there now ? I'll be there in 10 days .... can't wait !!!
