No worries Jim, it would take a lot to offend me. For whatever reason, we just think the word is dumb sounding, haha. So...we don't use it, except with potential wedding venues. Even then we cringe a little every time.

Good morning guys. It's Friday, less than a month til my trip to CO, and the owner isn't coming in today! Should be a pretty good day I reckon.

Gf is recovering nicely from the surgery. Yesterday she said it felt like somebody threw sand in her eyes for about 6 hours right after the surgery. After that, she could see, but a little hazy. Now she seems to be able to see without any problem. Going back for the follow-up today. She is able to drive herself...??? That's what they told her.

Morning!
Nice truck Mike! My sister has one like that, it's amazing how peppy it is compared to our old six.
Speaking of mia members has anyone heard from the guy with the red OBS mason dump or the wife of the guy in Norwich with the truck shop. Must be coming down with CRS because I can't think of their names.

I rented a carpet shampoo machine from Stop and Shop with an attachment for upholstery. I had to use a cleaner and scrub brush on the tough spots.

Off to start my first shift at my night job. The wife needs knee surgery and will be out of work for 3 months minimum. So I am moonlighting at Lowes.
