Good Evening Troy.

Doing well. Tired. Lots to do .. lots of ambition ... no energy. Could have something to do with going to bed at 11pm CST and getting up at 5am CDT for an hour to do some work.

Did some sanding on some shelves this afternoon. I've got some wood shevles for a microwave stand. I can't find a stain that matches the kitchen, so I may end up just painting the dumb thing. The things we do to save a buck...

How was your day?

Hey Michael!

Yeah I know the feeling on being tired losing a hour of sleep. Sounds like a busy day for you. The day was good here. Worked down at the shop for a bit and then came home did some work outside like cleaning the gutters. Real fun let me tell ya! That was about it.

I usually start out decent (for me) on my first game for bowling. Subsequent games go downhill fast. I suck in general.

Good luck with the new job Dave!! From what I've read/heard, can't be worse than the last one.

I don't know if any job can be worse guys! My only concern is the whole dealership world. But this being a small town one should be okay. I have a feeling it'll be a steep learning curve for a few days though.

Michael, I'm normally a good bowler. But not tonight...

Very true Jim. Hell over 200k is pretty good these days.

I guess I am not sure. I have only got to ride it one night with minimal snow at best.
