Good morning John!

April is here. My wife found out last that she passed her NCLEX on Thursday.

Tom that's fantastic. My guess the wife is one happy camper. Tell her congrats..

Tomorrow is the GTG at Sliders. Looking forward to it.

Good morning everyone!

Glad to hear we weren't the only ones to get snow this weekend. We got about an inch, and it's all mostly gone.

Just cleaned off the truck. Cold and windy out there. Melting very slowly heavy wet snow but only inch or two.

Morning

Another snowy day in CT. Drove Kathy in this morning and the roads are fine. Just a few idiots out there trying to set speed records and crashing. I was amazed that most people were doing the speed limit or less.

Sliders GTG seemed to go okay. I am bad with names, but little two year old Hannah was the hit of the party. Sliders did okay but most of the guys got a drink with Blue Moon beer and orange juice. Thought the price a little high for the orange juice. I stuck with Naughty Nurse drafts.

It seems as though even the seasons have become liberal and pushing PC. Any given day has equal opportunity to the four seasons.

Afternoon guys, wish I could have made it to the GTG, I missed out on a lot of things yesterday due to work. We cut today short, all the wet snow made it too slippery where we were excavating for the backhoe and the dump truck to operate without tearing the lawn up and sliding all over the place.

Merrit Parkway and morans on the road. Saw multiple cars pulled off the road in rear-enders. Slow and easy wins the race. Not looking forward to the ride home if it was anything like the ride in this morning.
I wish jet-packs could be a feasible option as long as the visibility is decent.
