Morning ever-body !!

Yippee ... all the stoplights on the way to work are functioning now ... and they were all green for me this morning. Lot's of time to DTR it !!

Still plugging away at the hurricane clean-up. Now all the hidden structural issues are coming to light. In a place this full of engineers ... EVERYONE thinks they know how to fix it .

Well, time for more coffee !! Anyone see where the pizza slicer went ??

Cheers,
PISTOL

Wink checkin in- wow

Happy productive birthday to you, Always. got the backhoe here, come and get it- UPS won't deliver or most likely lose it.

Good to hear ROB (hotdram) how are things in Texas from the storm anyways? and yeah- watch for appendicytis (sharp instant pains) versus dull to sharp pain slowly from kidney stones)

will Miss you REDLEG and CHAIKWA going off to fun places...

CIN here is a treat for YOU- full day spa treatment with chef prepared favorites. 'bout time you got pampered woman! tell the hubster to get with it!

T rad- all the Best to you and yours, love the email stuff KEEP it coming!

Davey lunch laddy gone home- patience for you and some rest time in quiet places!!

JBark- after being in the Sierra Navada mountains- thought of you with the jeep trekkers. whoa! watched a pick up heavy low loaded back up th emountain in Virginia city to change the lights on the "v" painted at 7500 feet.
they can't use a small wheelbase vehicle or else it would flip over (same way for backing, no turns). glad I did not have to go. but high desert riding seemed like fun (no open mines though!) have fun in between work and school!

I am prioritizing my little work projects, but have to get away from the computer! done before winter or done cause I want to be done with it are my categories...heheheh

Hehehehe .... a little nervous are we ??

I got my wife a massage in Germany once as a gift ... I forgot to specify that she wanted a female masseuse. When it was over she ended up massaging my brain-pan with a rolling pin .

Wink heheh after being in the 70s army....

I want nothing to do with a girl rubbing my back, no thank you.

yes CIN you get to pic from a list that looks like a menu...

I had a latin muscle guy (once and only time) rub down, hot rocks (no comment) and the spa cucumber salad stuff, mud bath, spring rinse.
wow.....my apologising to my husband (cause I am stupidly honest) only made him rub my back better and more often. definitely worth it once.

hope all is well with the working class! had vension on the back deck, grilled with mashed sweet potatos and red peppers from the garden! nice little corona with lime to celebrate. even nicer was to have the ten point visit afterwards, with two big doe following. stay around for November!!!! pics to follow when i get time.
Heidi off to be someone's friend

Evening. Long day. Had inventory in the parts department today. Ick. Luckily we don't have to count. Outsource that. I can't enough every day.

Got my pay all straightened out. Makes me happy. Other than that. Im pretty tired.

How is everyone doing?

Evenin' all

NW Houston, partly cloudy and temps in the mid 70's and going down a bit. It will be hot again soon enuff.

JbJarko, good feeling when you get the pay corrected. Wheee. Inventory: one, two, three, another and another and... Last inventories of our service vans when I worked went fast when we did them. Just scan the PN tag.

Wife home from work today. Generator the co has for the power outage was surging yesterday. She shut her computer off. Others tried working with theirs and the blew. Server might be TU also. So they need her computer, and she needed a day off. We did rounds most all day.
Not as lucky as Pistol, did not have all the traffic lights working. To me twice as long to get to the head shed to PU my pay stub. Talked with my favorite dispatcher while I was there. No school Monday for the kids. I don't know if I will be called in.

CIN that spa treatment is great, so says the prudent student. Have treated her to a couple of them. She likes where she has been going. A hour deep tissues massage is one of her favorites. Also the gal that does the nails knows her stuff on finger nails and toe nails.

Redleg, expect fish stories and pix to back them up. Enjoy your vacation.

JWBM you always put a positive spin on what ever you do. Great pix you post.

ofcmarc just put the coffee down next to the tragon and kick his tail, the fire he blows out will heat the coffee.

Rob, hope the wife is better.

Time to check on the prudent student, and get ready to jump in to bed.

Have a good un and be safe out there.

Good nighter, it was nice friday on the railroad. Kept them steel wheels of america rollin' today. Came home tonight to wash,clay bar, and wax the truck. Looks good now, had some overspray and "mill" dust on it from work. Had dinner with mom tonight, she made chicken enchiladas, they are awesome. Gotta love a german woman's mexican cooking, lots of beer and plenty of spice! Went to my best friends tonight for his little brothers 16th b-day. I've known the kid since he was about 4 so he's like a little brother to me. Good time tonight. Home early and prolly going to bed early, just waitin for the GF to call from MI.

Evenin' All! Night Shift ever vigilant on the northern front!

Had a short sleep day today. Took the littlestun' on a field trip to a local farm. Had a blast of a time. Huge garden w/ fresh veggies and such. They let the kids pick some carrots and celery and eat them right on the spot. Dirt and all.

In the wake of Ike, stop and take a break 9.14.2008 - 9.20.2008-school-farm-field-trip-9-19-08-041.jpg

Also got to milk a goat and hold fresh chicken eggs.

1st of all, happy real late b'day Always. Sorry I missed that!

ofcmarc, cute little girl you got there, glad you were able to spend some fun time with her!

I slept in late this mornin' after doin' a 3 shift training yesterday. I was beat. It was nice to be in a place where the breakroom got cleaned by someone else tho! I still showed 'em howta make REAL coffee... funny, the pot didn't M-T out real soon!

Lesson for today; Walmart, (prob'ly ANY store), will get really angry if you go into their alarm clock department and set all the clocks alarms to go off at 5 minute intervals. But it's FUN to watch!

Thanx for the goodies an' Cin!

chaikwa.
