Howdy guys! We might get near 50 down here today and tomorrow. That will be nice for a change. Spring can't be too far off now.

Excellent. They could not find anything. The experts think it might have been some fluid build up that somehow vanished.

Funny thing my sister held onto the smudge in film theory... She appears to be correct.

How are you guys liking this warm weather one day then having this blizzard the next day. I thought I was going to have a pretty good spring break ripping an engine out of car out in Murdo. Not anymore because its like 10 degrees in the shop and plastic likes to shatter into pieces when its cold.

Stay warm everybody

Nothing is safe until May. We're always good for a blizzard during the state tournaments also...

Well my spring break has been alright so far but yet sad. I came to find out this afternoon a girl that i knew from LATI died when she was hit by a semi on I29 Tuesday afternoon. Then a kid from Watertown High school that i wrestled with at practiced committed suicide sometime this last weekend.

Other than that I got a choice in 2 summer jobs to chose from. I could either go work at Titain Machinery or Grossenberg Implenment in Pierre. They both would pay for my schooling but Tititan would pay for my tools but JD wont. So i got to figure out what to chose from right now.

I think either would treat you well. I think you might have more chances for advancements with Titan

Sorry about the bad news. Its never any fun.
