It's been pouring down rain all day and I want a cigarette and Barry's new avatar drives me nuts and I want one of those bugs you have crawling around on my screen and I do not know how to do it. Are you happy now?
Yes. Trying to get some work done sitting in a hotel room in Corpus. Leaving for Harlingen first thing in the morning, then have to figure out if I'm stuck out of town until Friday, or get to try to make the long drive back home tomorrow. It looks like it will be a 7 1/2 hour drive from there to the house.

That drives sounds like a grinder. Be safe out there, Chris.
Chris, 7 1/2 hours is a butt-numbing drive. Who or what makes the decision between staying there until Friday and going home?
It depends on how long my survey takes me. I've got to take a bunch of notes and pictures tomorrow, but I just found out an hour ago, that the customer needs a budget by Thursday at the close of business (or preferably earlier) instead of Friday like we talked about last week. So it all depends on how long it will take me as to weather I drive home tomorrow and work from the office on Thursday, or work from a hotel room.
I'm more of a morning person and usually go to bed early, so I won't try driving too late. Spending an extra day or two in a hotel is much better than falling asleep behind the wheel.

oh great! No doubt those who don't follow the OT threads are going to be real interested in how that one got started...
Edit: I apologize in advance. I showed Mark how to go about getting outside smileys and other animations. We'll no doubt be barraged with a host of them promptly.
Ah Lisa, that's half the fun of quotes taken completely out of context.
.
Agreed. I'm not worried about it. Besides, Kris already told you that your Cummins made his weenie tingle...and there was no context issue there. I doub't anything Scott and I type could even come close to that one.
