Sorry to hear about your dad Pete. Bone breaks are really painful. He's a tough old man.

you may have a pop up blocker preventing the download. at the top of the page click 'Tools' and click pop up blocker, then click 'turn off pop up blocker', and retry the download.... don't forget to turn the pop up blocker back on!

Pete...at least ya know he cant catch you for a bit....but watch out for them crutches!

Good afternoon All...78 degrees at 2:33 pm!
Was not the pop up blocker either. This is weird. No real extra security on the system here. I will try at home tonight and see if it works there.

Thats kinda funny Pete (not haha funny) that your dad didnt notice, or go to the doctor. reminds me of myself when I tore my acl. I didnt go to the doctor to check it out till a month later, and did my heavy level oil field job for the whole month with a completely torn acl!

Not fun by the way haha.

Afternoon folks... Still out working right now, but I'm at a slow spot so I figured I'd say howdy. Testing is going sssllllllooooooooowwwwwwwwww today...

Sorry to hear about the kids & the headache, Cris. Glad they're feeling better -- wish you were too!!

Same with you, Brent -- you've been down for quite a while now. Hope you get that licked!

Hope the job thing works out, Brendan.

Scott --> Any update on the vanishing forklift keys mystery??

Sometimes he's a tough old man and sometimes he's nothing but a big baby.

If he gets a cold he's a big baby about it.

If he breaks his leg he tries to tough it out. He's not too bright...

Now he's trying to hobble around without his crutches and mom is yelling at him... It's gonna be a LONG month...
