Rod...hope your day at the sammich factory goes well...don't eat too much.

Lin...sounds like you had a successful tri to BJs...$1.71 saves you a good amount on your gas. I won't shop at any place that makes me pay t shop there...in addition...the packages are way too big for me. I've checked prices and I find I can do just as well if not better by shopping sales at the local supermarkets. My niece shops there and feels that she does well...but...that's a family of 5.

Saawx pitchers rolled over and played dead last night against the Twins...giving up 2 HR in the 10th...losing 9-6. The Saawx scored 2 in the bottom of the 10th...but...it wasn't enough to overcome the sheatty pitching.

Not a whole lot on the schedule this AM...some Suzy Homemaker stuff...recycling to the curb. Hopefully lots of slacking after that.

Hope y'all have a great day!!!
*We made 38400 snack sandwich's in 4 hours this afternoon. 2 Pancakes with a sausage patty in between. All were wrapped, boxed and in the freezer! In the morning in about 5 hours we did 76800 Sausage biscuits! I am tired!! LOL

Good evening all...jut a miserable day in Western MA...temp reached 93*...currently 90* with a "Feels Like" of 101*!!! A/C is struggling mightily...I've got it set for 70*...I don't think it's there.

I think the only thing I accomplished today was to take out the recycling. I still have to clean out my roommates litter box though. One of my favorite things to do. Do you think once a month is too often to clean the litter box???

Not a lot on the schedule tonight...some TV...some book...then...early to bed as I have to get up for "work" early. Unlike the rhyme...it doesn't make you healthy...wealthy...and wise.

Hope y'all have a great evening!!!

Evening Rod sounds like you and Becky were busy today. Lets see...if my math is correct...that's 115,200 pieces...at your piece work rate of .10 per...equals...$11,520 that you made today. It's no wonder you guys went back to work!!!

Your weekend has started...hope it's a great one!!!

Good morning Massachusetts...and...all who visit...Welcome to Weekend Eve!!! A sweltering start to the day...71* with 93% RH...on the way to the upper 80s this afternoon. Tomorrow the weather will break...highs in the 70s with much less humidity. Something to look forward to!!! Hope it's nice in your little slice of heaven!!!

Saawx hammered the Twins last night...12-2...behind 3 HR from the hitters and excellent pitching from their inconsistent pitching staff.

Gotta play Uncle Uber this morning...Jonathan has football practice...I'll pick him up after practice and take him and his older sister Jordan home. It's switch day...Mom has them this weekend.

Off to "work" soon...hope y'all have a great day!!!

Aww Ken you just ruined my weather for today I thought the news guy said TODAY was going to be in the 70's but I guess I didn't hear him correct.......... more then likely I WANTED it to be in the 70's today.
It's all good, today we are in the other building that has GREAT AC

Rod, I'm right there with you on being tired ! Using muscles differently now so my lower back is a little sore but more my neck and shoulder since I was going trim and those baseboards are LONG. hahaha

Today no Baseboards, all window trim and walls. This job will be done today and if we get done early then that is a bonus !

OH YOU can bet I like your version as well. About One or two weeks and I would NEVER go back to work!!! My one payment would turn into a paid off new Ford of some kind and a few toys bought and a couple of expensive projects I would like to do, done! LOL

Morning Ken, Lin, Don, John, all MASS and visitors ! Ken, after draining the old oil I pour it into the empty jugs and when I have a load going to the county dump I take it there and pour it into their tanks for recycling. Then the empty jugs are put into their barrels placed there for recycling also. That trip is usually only once every one -2 years unless I have a build-up of other stuff that has to go for recycling that the weekly trucks don't take like electronics, etc. BTW, have a good Katie day at "work" today.

Lin, should I start buying stock in pain med companies now ?

Fantastic Friday Lin and hope your day goes well. As you may know, it takes about 2 week for the body to reset for the new job. But in some cases it may take an extra week. I am sure doing windows vs baseboards will give you a whole new set of tired muscles! When I switch positions or the day at the Sammich factory I feel it! In the AC is a good thing. That is one thing I like about the Sammich Factory, it isn't too hot in there even when the oven is running. We do have a high flow 28 inch fan blowing on us and it does pretty good at keeping me cool!

Good late morning all...I went to the school to pickup Jonathan...and...lo and behold...no one was there...called his mother to see what was going on...had to leave a message. Things that make you go hmmmmmmm. Just plain nasty here today...temp currently 86* with 70% RH. Not as hot as yesterday...but...nasty none the less. Hope it's nicer in your little slice of heaven.

Good morning Lin...sorry to burst your bubble. See...you went back to work...stuck in a basement all day...and...now you can't read a weather forecast. Score on the air conditioned building...might make the job go slower though.

Good morning Bud...around here...the place that sold you the oil has to take back the used stuff. We only have hazardous waste disposals once a year. "Work" was great today...and...to make it better...it was a Two Katie Day!!! It doesn't get any better than that.

A "Two Katie Day" Rod...nothing better. Chicken Parmesan for lunch...one of the local supermarkets makes their own meals. Yesterday I had sausage with onions and peppers. They were on sale this week...I couldn't make it for what I bought it for. Nap will be good...right after the morning paper.
