The list wasn't do or die...but things that needed to be taken care of (grinding brakes, smoked starter/fried battery....etc). Things like that just take time and when your gone for 5-6 days and only home for day or so. It's hard to get every thing taken care of. I'll learn one of these days, I'm just a slow learner.

I know exactly what your talking about...after 7 months, I had my fill of 6 Saturday's a week (there is always a Sunday in there). Don't get me wrong, it was nice the first couple of weeks...out riding the scooter; not having to deal with a nagging, unrealistic boss and customers that ask for the craziest things. But after about a month and the bills are still coming in and the unemployment checks are only 50-60% of what you were making...yeah, it was time to go back to work.

I'm heading up to Reno. My nephew has finished medical school and his graduation is today. His GF also graduates with her master's degree. So I want to be there for the ceremony. It has been a number of years of hard work and pressure for him so we are pretty proud. Today he get's his white coat.

Dang Nolan. Is there anywhere you're not campaigning?

My wife shot out ahead early, but her votes have stopped coming in. I'm starting to wonder if her early lead is enough to hold. That IDI is making pretty good progress too.
