I'm at work today, but I'll be taking it easy. After spreading 3 yards of river rock in my front yard on Tuesday, and helping remove the dam from the swimming area in one of our parks yesterday my lower back isn't happy. But after today I'll be off work and home with the kids until the 28th.
I just hope I don't pick up the stomach bug that my wife and older boy had yesterday.

Good afternoon Oregon and everyone everywhere else.
Still waiting for the idiots to show up and argue over who owns what and who is responsible for repairs or maintenance...seems like we have to go through this every two or three years. I told the gal in the one office I wasn't waiting anymore. Have some things to do before this week is over and this is Friday. Going to town after lunch and they can talk to the light pole out front I guess...if they show up.

So me, being typical me, told her I worked for the government in one incarnation or another for over 40 years and at some point during that time Bell invented the phone and by golly the portable "everyone has one" cell phone was invented. They could call and let me know they were not coming and I wasn't waiting on them anymore....she said she would relay that information and hung up.

And I bet if they arrived and you weren't there they would leave you with a service call charged to you..
