Hey everyone!! Posting after everyone else's bedtime as usual.
My eyes are starting to bug out writing Thank you letters for the interview. I've got 11 letters written. I met with more people than that, but these are the key ones that need to be written. Too many and they start sounding like form letters (they already do).


I just looked at the post count. 150+ on the first day. IMPRESSIVE!! At this rate, we'd break 4K this month. Of course, if the camping shenanigans were appropriate, we'd surpass 5K easily.

Yup .. Summer is busy in general, but break times are even busier. These are the times we get to deploy new services or do major upgrades to services. Summer to Fall break is when we're usually deploying the most. Other than Christmas, that's when the fewest people are on campus.

Dave that insurance quote is insane especially if you can register the truck as a DD, private use vehicle....

The thunder outside right now is awesome

I think we are going to trade the truck and saab convert in on a hard top convertible. We don't need all these vehicles and the truck won't pull the new trailer legally so what the heck.......

Hey Tom ...
How are things going?

The rain didn't start here until after 9pm. It started raining HARD about 20-30 minutes ago. I think we got some pea sized hail with it as well. The hail was pretty sporadic. I don't think it was enough to damage any vehicles though.

I did insure the new car for full coverage. I was going to do comp only, but full was only $10 more per month.

Is Ashley done with all of her classes now then?

He'd have to be offering A LOT of cash to go through that amount of work

Sump pump is running like mad right now. It's running every couple of minutes. I wonder how much rain we've gotten so far. Radar looks like there might be another heavy band of rain moving through soon.

Wow Dave, I would get a lot more quotes. You have to find better rates than that. The left foot thing is funny. I do it sometimes in our cars after driving the truck.

That is a good price for 4". Where is that from anyway? I wonder if 20' would do it for us. I need a foot or so for the cat and a few for the muffler. Dave would nees about the same and Jay a few feet. I am no mathmatics major but I think it would be enough.
