Morning Rob, good to see you back bud! I was wondering if you were going to get out there and back!

 

Hey Pat... Yeah, it was ugly. I normally avoid I-80, but with all the snow, I figured it would be better to take I-29 down to Omaha, then west on 80. I guess I should have expected traffic to be bad since 80 was closed for 24 hours too.

 

I heard it was a mess. Well, good to have you back on, it was pretty quiet around here last week!

 

I was going to check in last week, but managed to avoid the computer for the whole week. First time I've done that in a long time!

Are you back to a normal work schedule now Pat?

 

Yeah, finally. But, I'm on eights now, no more four tens..bummer.

 

 

you all out to lunch?

 

nope... im playing spyder solitaire...

 

I'm just trying to ease myself into the work week....

 

hey steve, i agree. the colder the better. up here in ND, the highs for the last week have been below zero, and it was down to -30 a couple of days ago. on top of that, weve got knee deep snow on ME. thats like waist deep on most of yall. lol. and theres more commin down now. on top of all that, guess what im wearin around campus...

 

oh. HI PAT!!! lol.

 

Hey Trey, how's it going? Just found out I've got a $125 gift certificate coming as a bonus, so I'm in search of an auto-dimming welding helmet!

 

pretty good. your in search of one?? pat, buddy, i HAVE one.

 

oh, and im wearing shorts out in this beautifully cold weather. hehe.

 

And I have a bagel. Beat that. :P
