Hi everyone,
Tuesday is half over (thank God) & I'm ready to call it a day already.
Didn't sleep real good lastnight so I can barely hold my eyes open, my kids trying to get sick (sent him to school anyway), & I had unemployment job training today. UGH! What next?
Nevermind...just got a call from the school. THey are trying to locate my son. So help me, he better be in school & not cutting class or I will personally turn him in to the cops myself! GRR!!!
Today has got to get better. Hope yours is going great!

My wife took some of the pics on Friday night and I took most of them on Saturday. So, I was letting her edit her's first...sometimes that takes a while because she's much busier than I am as of late.

Had an awesome weekend as the wife and I got away for a little bit because it was our first year anniversary (Oct 10th actually). 
So, we got to do Renn Faire on Friday & Saturday, then went up to Mt. Charleston and stayed in one of the cabins on Sunday, came home on Monday morning and then had an anniversary dinner at Buca di Peppo (I believe that's how you spell it). So, it was a darn good weekend.
I hope everyone else's was just as nice.
Donna - Sorry to hear about the issues going on. Hopefully it's not as bad as you think it is.

Mat - Actually, it was as bad as I thought. He cut school & has done it more than once already. He just now got caught though. He's only 12!
On a better note: Happy Anniversary to you both! What a small world. Jimmy & I had our 2 year anniversary Oct. 10th as well. We normally go to LVMS NHRA at the end of October to celebrate ours, but this year we can't afford it. Hopefully next year though.

That always makes me giggle...."stress test"....isn't that just life in general?? Must be something in the air, or the planets are aligned or something, been a little challenging here lately for me as well. Whew. My guys here at work are trying to kill me...I'm sure of it. Sure could use a good counter guy. But I might go to Miller in Utah this weekend and do some riding. Be nice to get away for a day or two. But, for the most part, life is good! I hope everyone is having a good hump day!

Well my stress test turned out to be a long session on a treadmill all wired up to a computer. They wanted me to get my heart rate up to 158 beats per minute to see if my heart would blow up. (I think.)
Got it up to 151 bpm and no matter how steep or fast they made the treadmill it would barely go up from there. Finally did though. No blowup. But it took a long time. So I'm off the hook for the next six months.
I'd take the counter man job but the commute is a little too long.
