Thanks Lisa. For those of you that think I'm serious, that's my extremely sarcastic side coming out. LOL. However, I would take some company.

Yeah, training isn't very easy, for the trainER or the trainEE.

She is very smart. But it is starting to seem like she has a hard time concentrating on one thing for any extended amount of time. She is very hyper.


What I do here is extremely specialized, so she asks a lot of questions I wouldn't expect, and we have a ton of stuff to cover, but we're doing good so far.

D'Oh. Diesel finally fell below $3 here in town. $2.99 at my favorite station. Last time I filled up it was at $3.30 I think.

I hear its $2.80 on the outskirts.

Good afternoon, Jeremy you really lucked out on that find. I would love to get some 08 mirrors but they are dam pricey! I hope you take lots of pics before and after as this mode should be good. It started to rain a little, it even might snow tonight, sorry Lisa.

I sure hope you're aware of the fact that I was yanking your chain. But I am certainly envious of all you've accomplished since last April, as I am sure everyone here is. Hence the replies to your spectacular find.

I'm with you, Ray. Diesel is running $2.90 in Houston, $2.99 in Conroe and $3.19 in Willis. The farher north you go on I-45 the more expensive it gets.

Pirates.

Man, isn't that the truth? I have a hard time training as I don't have patience to sit and teach. I like to get my hands on the job and get it done.



Hope all of you that are working are doing well. My first day of vacation has gone like this.

Got up at 4:30 because I am trained to do so.

Went into town with Dallas and we picked up a few items at the store and had breakfast. Yes, Dallas had breakfast too.

Came home and fixed hurricane damage to roof.

Was going to wash truck but it started raining. Scratched that.

Started up pot of beans and ham hocks.

Built a fire in the fireplace, laid on couch and took long nap, with Dallas.

Just woke up and am about to start making biscuits to go with the beans.

Have fun at work.

Nah, not at all. I'm a big ole softie, but I don't have my feelings easily hurt either. I've learned to let a lot of crap just roll right off when someone tries to put you down. Not at all that I think you guys were though...just to clarify. I just mean that in general.

How dark do you want it?

Thanks, Mark. I knew you were, as I'm sure everyone else was too. I was just playing along, but my sarcasm didn't come through very well. If we ever all get the chance to meet, you'll see that I'm a very happy-go-lucky kind of guy. Always smiling, pretty much in a good mood all of the time, just enjoying life.

Supposed to start raining here tonight and through tomorrow. Not exactly what I wanted when I've got to be on the road. Oh well, maybe it will help get rid of some of the oily slime from when the motor blew. I've tried to wash it off, but some of those places I just can't reach.

Diesel here has been under $3 since last week. I hope it stays that way too, since I've got about 800 miles worth of driving to do this week.

No political talk on my jobsite. It's does nothing to motivate my guys. Picture more AC/DC, Van Halen, Disturbed, etc..

We cant start this job until at least 8:30, single mom trying to get her kids to school, so I sleep in a little and give them some space. Just trying to respect her busy morning. If we are on a real framing site, we start at 7am. Any earlier and we get tickets.
