First day back to work went pretty good. I did a lot more than I expected to do, but nothing over board. Felt good to be up doing something and has me really wanting to get back on the truck bad! I was pretty tired this evening though LOL! After laying around all week and then half way doing something today, I had to come home and take a nap

First day back for me too Bill! It felt good, although I wasn't planning on waking up at 445. Lol. I was lightly busting the owners chops telling him he NEEDS me on site full time. Not sure how that will hold up. At least I've got a weeks worth, possibly more. I did get 10.5hrs today, so possible overtime. Man I hope they can keep me around!

Glad to hear you're both able to get back at it. Hopefully the progress is able to continue for you both.

Still waiting on the Feds to do their paperwork, Todd?

I sneezed last night and I'm afraid I may have blown the hernia in my belly button back out. It doesn't hurt, but I felt something pop when I sneezed, and today my belly button is all bulged out like it was before
