Ray you have quite the dog there lol. I actually feed my dog fruit and veggies and stuff like that. She likes pretty much anything I give her, except orange peels haha. When i give her orange peels I open her mouth and shove one in there, and then its game on!


I love fixer upper houses, Ive pondered quite a few times buying one in the states where it is a little warmer then here in the winter, fixing it up and having it as a "cabin" so to speak.

My realtor is letting everyone know that there is a lot of people looking at the house and the offers are coming in. It almost seems like a bidding war is going to begin.

I will enjoy Florida, If I could send all of you some warmth and sunshine I would!
Good thing people are bad with math. Bidding wars are so much fun. You'll enjoy the heck out of it. Eventually it'll get to the point to where everyone will have to put in their best and final bid, and you get to choose which family you sell the house to. Talk about a good feeling after you've been so desperately trying to sell a house.

In highschool, in the summertime, my dad my brother and I would always go to 7-11 to get Slurpee's. We'd always get our dog Lizzy a Sugar Daddy. She'd spend HOURS on that thing... She loved it.

Hey everyone!

Big things happening here at work. We have been adding on to the facilty in preperation for building a new production line for a new product that the company is going to launch.

This morning they announced who will manage the new line.

I got it. It's all mine. Just picked up another fifty people. That brings me to 190 reports.

Needless to say....I am pretty stoked right now. Also got invited to have lunch next week with my boss and the company president, who will be in town to review the plans for the new line.

Anyway, I just wanted to share with you guys. Still cannot believe all of it.

Congrats Scott!! They've finally got the right man on the job and now they know it!! You deserve it!

As for dog smarts, sometimes it's almost freaky:

1) I would take Logan running in the woods & 99% of the time he's 50 to 100' ahead of me. There was one trail that then split 3 ways. He never once looked at me, but so long as in my head I decided which way we were going, he went down that trail, without fail....
2) I was in Spain for a week, and my parents were taking care of Logan. On the day I got on the plane to come home, pretty much the hour my plane took off, he went to the kitchen, paced, and kept looking out the windows. He went from the kitchen, in the next room, and down to the lower front room, always looking out front. He knew I was coming. How...?

I love that boy.

The funny part of all of it Lisa is that for example the ins co deemed the kitchen appliances to be NG well they are all ok I checked them out. In the next week or so I'll have a "moving" sale and kiss all that stuff goodby!

I've made it no secret that my goal is to someday be Plant Manager. This puts me one step closer.

You will, if you keep goin after it.

You know, Scott, the bad part about being friends with people on Facebook is that they can see certain pictures that your sister posts online. Like, for example, a picture of a young scott with a blonde mullet and nearly hairless chest in stonewashed jeans.
