Good morning Connecticut!! Ray, Andy, Greg and all who follow.

I was out the door by 5:20 yesterday.
Thursday AM Internet Brands service outage.
Our exalted postmaster and chief BS'er is on vaca, that's what happened...

Worked 'till dark and got home after 8:30, unloaded the truck, took a shower, made dinner and fell out.
It finally feels like spring. The forsythia is coming out and the willows are vibrant green.
I love spring!

Well I have to get used to commuting with everyone else since I'm working downcounty.

Done packing the truck, I'll get to Millwood Supply about when they open @ 7.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Howdy, everyone.

I decided to take today off from work since it's my last day of school vacation. I think I'm gonna go mow the lawn soon. It needs it badly.

Andy, thanks for the offer on the ride.

I really SHOULD have had my license by the GTG, but starting May 1st only DMV can test people who have had their licenses since before August 1st.

I should get going for my license on May 3rd.

I'll see if I can get permission to go and we'll work things out from there. Had I been able to drive myself I would've just gone, but if someone picks me up or I need a ride it's like a police interrogation with mom.

Dad would say have fun and don't do anything I wouldn't. So if I get permission to go I'll let you know. Thanks again for the offer.

It's more that she'd be worried about what I'd do more than she'd be worried about what you would do.

Here's how we go about this: Hey, dad. A bunch of Ford guys are going up to the truck museum and I'd like to go. I got an offer for a ride up. Any objections to me going?

Well I'd have to talk to your mother.

*Interrogation*

Ok you can go. So we'll initiate that process tomorrow and get back to you on it. Just for the record I live in Wallingford on the Northford line by the Woodhouse soccer fields. The farm/shop is over by you. I'm sure I could meet you at either one.

my brother and i are going to try to make it...matts house is always a good time! (great food!)

we had a sad/exciting day at work today.... sad because our @$$h0l# boss pushed another guy over the edge, and karl who has worked there for 12 years quit. i helped him move his stuff out this evening.

the exciting (in a twisted way...) part of the day was the dead body in a moving truck down at the TA, there was police and news vehicles EVERYWHERE. carzy!
