2020 Q1 (January, February, and March) BS thread

New year New Thread. Hope everyone is doing well and having a good time. Things are crazy busy here. Didn't take much time for the Holidays, and what time I did take was mostly spent with the kiddo's. Everything is still going fine, with the pregnancy, and the daughter should be here in about 5 or 6 months or so.

Ya'll behave!

Good luck on the commute.
Being I am on LP now I try and get to work for around 2am so I don't have to deal with some of it as I can plan when & where I go to try and miss it.
But sometimes you cant and you just sit in it like the rest do.

Shawn, There is some great restaurants up that way. An Indian place I used to go out of my way to eat it comes to the top of my mind. We can certainly shoot for a North Raleigh dinner, or some what that direction. Such as Butner or Creedmoore. Let's chat over on the dinner thread.


Larry, Yep. Baby girl on the way. In about 5 months. At 40, this wasn't planned or expected. But we are looking forward to it. And I'm as goofy as can be about it.

Ya'll enjoy these warm wet days....

Well at least you'll get paid for drive times to the separate location. Drive safe and slow.

Anyone going to the Monster truck wars at the Duplin county events center this weekend? We got tickets to the 7pm show, aswell as pit passes for before. Thinking the little one is going to love it.
