Thanks, Jim. What's this about you coming to TX??

It's calmed down for the day, only to start back up tomorrow. However, I don't have to be at Verizon until 10.

Thanks for the stats on the lefty Pres history. I'm not a lefty, but my brother is (actually, he's ambidextrous). So I went to Google "Left Handed Presidents", and before I finished the word "hand", the first hit on Google's automatic drop-down list was "Left Handed Presidents". I guess I'm not the only one that thought about it. LOL.... Try it!

Also, did I see that you are moving to TX? I thought you were moving to FL?

Well long story short, things are not panning out as they were supposed to in FL, one of the reasons why I'm back in MA, and the job market here is horrible so I started looking arounf and it seems that the job market in the Houston area is pretty good. I'm going to make a trip there to scope thing out. If you want more details we'll do it in pm. Scott has offered to help me out in the job search department.

I have to have some surgery and the surgeon wanted to go over some stuff with me. They are going to schedule it in the next couple of weeks.

Actually, my sister in law thinks I'm "A total hick/redneck gorilla nail pounder", or so she calls me....and not in a nice way either....She thinks anyone wearing a blue collar is beneath her... Yeah, sure she's like 26 and is a chemical engineer and makes over $100k a year, but that doesnt for one second mean anyone is beneath you....
I like to throw it in her face sometimes when she asks how things are going.. "well pretty good, I hit a lot of nails last week, and you?"
LOL....

Naw, even my 5 year old doesn't have a hard time eating "Chester", the last cow my parents had slaughtered. "Charlie" tasted funny, he was a hybrid, but Chester is/was awesome

Silly cityboy! Those are dairy animals! Not beefers.

I actually made mention of that to dad on the way home. We're actually just raising them until they're 20-24 months old. We'll do AI and then sell em. If you don't know what AI is don't ask.

My brother's girlfriend named them and made the signs. Since they aren't tagged yet it makes it easier to tell someone which one needs what.
