good evening Nevada. Donna is that an annual event? Did you go to either Barrett-Jackson Reno or Hot August Nights this weekend?
I may go to Barrett-Jackson again this year in Las Vegas. I really didn't get to enjoy it last year. Vici called me the night before to tell me they were putting her in the hospital. She told me to stay & go to the show. So my buddy & I went but all that was on my mind was her. I left early & drove back to Hawthorne.

Goodmorning All,


Welcome to Monday...the beginning of a new work week.

Well, IT was a Margarita weekend for me. I got volunteered at the last minute to watch my granddaughter all weekend while my daughter & SIL went to 6 Flags in California. I had to cancel my weekend plans to drop everything for them. GRR!!! I told them next time, we need at least 1 weeks notice prior! I also told Cammy that if we watched Athena Fri. - Sun., that she'd have to find another babysitter for today & Tuesday. I asked her why they didn't take Athena - she'd have fun! Her reply....."She'd be a crab *** all the way there!" OH WAHH! If they didn't want the responsibilities of being parents, then she should've kept his "limo" out of her "garage!" OFcourse I said it alot differently. But, all -n- all the weekend wasn't that bad (what I remember of it)

We did buy a used pool from our new neighbors & finally after 3 tries, got it set up & working properly. So now we get to clean it inside & out better & hopefully come up with some pool/liability rules & fence it off for Athena's safety, unwanted guests, & the wild horses. I can already see the neighborhood kids trying to sneak in when we aren't home, etc. My kids already are not happy with the rules I've made up, but if they want to go swimming, they need to follow them & set an example for guests or the pool will be put away until next summer &/or the rules can be followed. I'm only an EMT-Basic, not a Lifeguard.

Morning FTE. I hope everyone has a great day.
I have procrastinated until the very end. Now I have to get my homework completed.
School would be a lot more fun if it didn't have homework.

Morning Greg! You'll be happy to know, probably within a week, that I'll know if that 79 dash will fit in the 67 or not. If so, I'll be getting rid of a lot of stuff, I'll let you know.

That's great news. Thanks man.
Now if I only had a friend local that wanted to come hang out and drink some beer. That way I could have some company while I tinkered on the truck.
