I am ready for some new scenery myself. The company i work for will be building a new washplant in a year but have not decided where to put it yet. Could be 15 min. from the one i work out, or it could be right next to it. The drive should be about the same cause i will be able to come in on another road.

Although I do miss the days off and the holidays. On a side note my kids have been playing piano for just over a year. They went to an audition with a local orchestra just before summer and got the part. They perform on November 8. Here's a little blip of the audition. (There the twins)
Piano Extravaganza with Ian Parker - YouTube

Good for you Nick! You've got some really good kids to be proud of there. My twins turn 9 today. Man, how is that possible!? Last night as I was tucking him into bed, my son said he wanted to stay 8 forever. It kind of choked me up to be honest. It's tough watching them grow up, but every new year brings a new phase and a new adventure to share together. My kids (all 3) have been taking piano lessons for a year or so as well. My mom is a piano teacher so they get to learn from grandma. It's time well spent for sure.

Idk what is up with Mondays but, man, I'm glad it's over!

Got mad at my grandma (yes, my grandma), threw my IPhone like a 100 mph fastball at a tree and tore off in my truck, went to my property to load up my Snapper and help my Gpa mow. Slipped on a dab of oil, fell clean to the floor, and pulled a muscle in my neck in the process of loading the mower. Got mad, hit my El Camino, my hand ended up swelling up and hurting like hell. Found out I trashed the starter on my snapper, went to the ER for my possibly broken hand, got told it was just a contusion, went to work, and got told by the manager anyone can go to the ER and get a doctors note if they pay them money....

What a damn day. At least I got a good laugh at the Reliant Robin before work. I am sooo ready for bed!
