We declined the insurance since wife said we are going no matter what. It's raining here but no snow yet. Radar shows the snow slowly creeping south but still well north of us right now.

It wet down here. Does your wife realize that you have to fill out a health questionnaire the day of embarktion and if you are sick they may not let you on board. If that happens Carnvial will say thank you for given us your money. Lets hope not but if you have an accident on the way down and cannot get there, the r3sponse is going to be the same. you Also if you need medical while on the cruise or out of the country you medical insurance more than likely will not pay. She may want to rethink the insurance since it it cheap. If you can not get it from Mitch, USAA has it

The sarge got fired. Not sure if I mentioned that...

Boss undermined my mechanic advice on some cars, lost his ***, blamed me.

Boss hired new guy, who likes to talk ****, brown nose, and claim hes better at everything
1 his 60-something trans am 6.0 he built, looks like ****, gaps are ****er, body work is ****, and he lost power with his engine by his mods, and told me to do his setup
2hes body working a 57 chevy, 4 weeks in, 2 quarter panel replacements, and 150+ hours into bondo work and its the atlantic ocean (BUT IT WILL WIN SEMA-his words)
3Took a gravy job from me his first week in and took LONGER than it took me to do a quarter panel and frame pull on a PRIUS!
4 took another job from me, this week, undermined and undercut me, and contested a pay check OF MINE 2 weeks ago.

Painter and office guy got into heated argument today over office guy deducting hours because of the new guys **** up. The painter had to repaint a ****ing bumper because ******* got chemical thinner on a fresh bumper. After argument, office guy fired painter, and realized he ****ed up when I walked with painter, and another coworker walked too. Painter isnt fired anymore... for now

After argument, painter and I were talking, said im a ticking time bomb and hes seen this for a minute.

Thats how things are going.

Dont get me wrong. My work is perfect and I am me.

Oh my Ford is getting stripped this weekend, or as far as I can get...

Here is what it looked like at 4 pm. It has snowed all night long so I am not going to Florida this weekend. It took almost 2 1/2 hours to get home yesterday. The dogs and little man had a blast in the snow. Going to take a measurement of the snow later this morning.

Jacob sorry you fell 8n the cespool. You know why tool boxes have wheels? When stuff starts hitting the fan, you can push your box to your truck or push it to tge next shop.

Jacob I am sure you can find a job at a place that will treat you better.

It finally stopped snowing at about 7 this morning. So it has been snowing here for about 26 hrs.

Snow depth ranged from 8 to 10 inches depending on where I measured. Had to go save mom in-law because she lost power this morning. We took her out to eat and then bought a sled for the kids to play on in the snow. Took her back home and her power was back on. Little man loves being outside and loved the snow.

Didn't do anything but spend time with little man and my family inside the house today, just could not talk myself into doing anything outside. Anything below 60 and you can forget about me being outside. I went ahead and prepaid for parking at the cruise terminal.

Start another hood build tomorrow, my boss is impressed with my work on them.
