Good Afternoon Nebraska!

Did you miss me? (just tried to add smiley and the stupid thing wont let me, wonder if it is because i'm using Google Chrome as my browser??)

anyway, had meetings this morning.. been working this afternoon (shocking I know) just getting around to checking the daily websites.


congrat's Jerry

sorry to hear about the back Rob, I thought Pat said he would be up there to help! (insert laughing smiley-about Pat being up, not your back)

Pat, I will be in Omaha this weekend again, wifes b-day - going to head down to the boats to drink, eat, gamble, drink, gamble, etc..

The only lifting I plan to do this weekend is a bud light in the general direction of my mouth...

We're slowly getting there on the settling in part, it's tough with both of us working full time, then throw in all the kid activities... We haven't hung any pictures yet, so she wants me to do that this weekend, then it will start feeling more like home. I really need to get some shelving built in the garage and basement so we can organize the stuff we don't use all the time...

I'll practice on that aim....

Well, it's 4:45 and my phone and email are silent for the moment... I'm thinking of making a run for the exit while I can, not sure if I'll make it or not, but it's worth a shot!

Have a good evening folks!
