Rough night last night

So we had this "meeting" for work at the Hyatt downtown. So I get all dressed up and spend a 1/2 hour looking for a place to park "Hoss" and I was one of the first there. Soon our general manager showed up and asked why I didn't have a drink in my hand, I said I didn't want to look like the company "lush", he said "we paid for an open bar for a reason, let's go!" Well after MANY Jack and cokes chased by way too many bud lights, we were all pretty lit by the end of the night. So our GM called and hired 2 limos to get everyone home, I had the wife come get me since Hoss wouldn't fit in the garage and I didn't want to leave it in the outside parking overnight.






Anyways, I don't know what the "meeting" was about, somebody gave a speach but I don't have a clue what he said, and my head is friggin killin me!!!

No it was the night before "V" day lol, I ain't that brave!! I told her that there might be an open bar and if I called and was sluring and giggling to just meet me at the Hyatt and drive me home haha.

Classes are no where close to bieng done, I got 99% of my online stuff done but have about 10 instructor led classes to get done. I did get a tool box though, I will have to post up some pics, I stood at Harbor freight for about an hour looking at that box and was just rather impressed at the price so I bought one, it's sitting in the house right now waiting for a trip to work, might haul it up there this weekend.

Yeah it is, and let me tell ya, it's not your typical Harbor Freight junk. All roller bearing with double slides on the 2 big drawers, comes with some really nice drawer liners. The keys are a little cheesy but can be replaced easy. All the drawers open and close easy with an adjustable detent. And it is alot heavier than it looked!! I took a few drawers out and it has a real nice frame under the skin. One thing I didn't like is it has a teaxtured finish rather than a glossy.

It looked like a pretty nice box the only thing is the drawers are only 18" deep which isn't bad but I am looking for something a little deeper.
