Starbucks coffee is disgusting. That being said, their espresso is actually pretty good, if you like lattes.

I wouldn't have wanted to be out in that storm. The 2nd day, Randy actually had to come stay at my house because they closed down I-76 so he couldnt go home.

The drug test is a no brainer and I am hoping that the surgery that I had doesn't interfere with the physical. It shouldn't though.

I want to thank all of you for your support, encouragement, and most importantly being the friends that let me vent, and lean on during the past year. Each and every one of you are the best. !!

The name of the company is Pavestone. They make concrete block products patio pavers retaining wall blocks stuff like that. They sell a lot to Home Depot. I will be the only electrician for the entire plant. My "duties" are not just electrical though I will be working on hydraulic and pnuematic systems and welding and fabricating also. Pay is really good and the benefits are good too.

Gotta run for now. I will catch up later.
CONGRATS, Jim. I know what a relief it is!!

Suuuuuure. That's why.

Got the OBS moved from the back shed to the shop today. Changed the oil and holy cow that was some nasty oil. I don't even want to know when it was last changed. Came out black and sludge-y. Will be changing it in another 1,000 again. Next on the list is a fuel filter. Then next week it's going to have the plow parts put on and then we'll do the rear end swap and put the body on and get her registered and good to go!

Anyways enough truck tech stuff. Got out at noon today because of grandparents day. Woohoo! Not really raining hard in big drops out there but it's sure coming down. Lots of flooding. No fun.... Thankfully it's not snow yet. Not ready for snow.

Lisa don't you know he was pretending to be angry so you'd try to "cheer him up"

I didn't think I'd be the one teaching you about naughty things...

Their coffee is the most bitter I've ever had. Their lattes are quite good.

I wish I had an espresso machine.

I never I said I knew all about the cold hard facts of life. I have been through some very hard things in my life. That being said, I realize I'm just getting started and still have a lot to learn.

However, I do know a lot about naughty things, which is what I was making reference too.
