Pretty good, just busy with work and trying to get some stuff done around the house. When do they start chopping corn up there?



Morning Lisa, and Jay

Jacob, It's a good thing someone likes that kind of work because I personally can't think of many things I want to do less.

Hope I can get a few things done around the house this weekend. Finally home for a change.

Only part that sucked was that the chisel would get bound up, and it would try and twist the handles around. I kept getting slammed into a metal fencepost.

Alright guys, it was me.

I like to sit around and look for things to complain about. It makes me feel important. I tell ya, if my neighbor leaves his paper on his porch for more than two days, I call the cops. I also keep the volume on my television turned down so I can sit and listen and make sure my neighbors aren't making too much noise. Can't have anyone having fun on my watch. I go to breakfast on Sundays just so I can complain to the manager that my waitress wasn't fast enough with my coffee refill..I need to find an excuse for why I can't give her that measy .50 cent tip she worked so hard for. I also call the local newspaper to report typos, and I call the news stations when they report stories that propogate sex and crime. I am the moral compass of this universe you know, even though I do nothing but complain and treat people like ****. I am only like this because I haven't had sex in ages, I'm a crotchety, crusty old ******* and I want everyone else to be miserable too.

Yep, it was me.

ha!!! You don't know what fun is till you hookup with a floor sander, a power outlet, and a bottle of good vodka.


a hint though. make sure there is someone there that is not drunk to unplug the sander after you fall off.



btw... Make sure you get to a doctor.

yea!!! Call today!!

we tied a rope to support the weight and I ran the jackhammer and another guy would help line up the chisel if it dropped out of the hole

we use a john deere 410 double ender for that.

I just got a phone call from the place that I interviewed on Thurdsay. I made it to the final 2! I have the 2nd interview Monday at 10 am.

Even if I don't get this job I will be satisfied that I gave it my best shot. Hell out of 200 applicants I make it to the 5 that they interview and out of the 5 I make it to the final 2.

So maybe next time this week I will be actually employeed.

I hope the "real" you is our moral compass because then our morals will be just the right amount of warped.

I could be persuaded to make my wife dinner this weekend. I am thinking stir fry may be good.
