So, those are my big plans.

Lisa, if I begged would you come with me?
If I could afford the plane ticket, I'd already be there, begging or no.

We could throw in begging just for entertainment though.

Evening, all. Jim, J-L, Matt, Jim, Rick, and Roland made it here ok. As usual it was awesome to reconnect with the guys I knew and meet new people. Did a little work nothing spectacular just tore some stuff up in preparation for Jim's injectors going in.

I'm busy, man. But we have been taking pictures along the way. But nobody but me has a computer that I'm aware of so therein lies the reason for no pics yet.

Yeah, camera and laptop go with me whenever I travel as well. If it's a short trip, then I just bring the camera. The chip will hold over 1000 pictures at full resolution and I am not afraid to try and fill it up.
Just cull the bad ones out later and save the good ones.
.
Brent have fun at the BBQ.
The man that works for me is going shopping this weekend for a lever action rifle that he has been saving up for. I don't know what it is, but he was pretty excited about it yesterday at work.
Me, I'm saving for a 12g pump.
.
But for now, I have to fix the front porch light. It is a motion sensor type that has become stuck on for some reason, won't shut off ever.
So a new fixture is going up.
Then it's off to the MIL's house for the annual pumpkin carving contest.
It's a family tradition that was started many years ago.
Rules are simple: carve the pumpkin, then everyone votes on who made thier favorite one.
You cannot vote for your own, so you have to pick someone elses and whoever get's the most votes wins.

You suck. It's been raining/drizzling for over 48hrs straight so far, and hasn't topped 45° here.

And hey, I forget how to get the actual degree symbol to show up.. help?

EDIT: Got the symbol thing... from my workstation. Laptop may not work since no separate number pad. See what crappy weather lets you accomplish when you don't have a garage to work in??? GGrrrrrr

I figured with all the high tech stuff you'd have a web cam or three setup and everyone could watch live

Oh I am sure you'd make me beg, just for good measure..lol Thats cool, I'm down with that.
Then I could give you a ride to Vancouver BC and you could get a flight over to spoon. Make for a great trip dont you think?

Thanks Dan! Guess it will be an indoor deal, this weather is horrible. Thats cool, I'll bring the rain gear!
Hmm a 12g pump huh Dan? what kind are you looking at? Ever shot a Benelli? My brother bought the new Nova pump and it's amazing. About $400. Just FYI. Take a look at gungenie.com before you buy.

You could say that...lol Just got back from Mount Vernon, I-5 was a crawl and hydro-planing was on my mind a bit...
Is that near Lake City way? Looks familiar. Julie's grandparents are right there if so.
