Turn some junk to $$ and clear out the deadwood.

The youngest lives with his mother, so I only have 2 left...

The oldest has his son and girlfriend living here also..

Don't have any in laws or grandparents that need to sleep over..

Oh, I know..
Small children are a lot of responsibility and $$$.
But some young families I meet today have absurd expectations.


Maybe you two should go to a hotel for the weekend?

I've been divorced for 9 years now.

Let's just say I've made other arrangements.

Look at the bright side.

You can enjoy the house and kids, all I got was the bills and the alimony payments.

Just got back from the movies and that new Star Trek movie was good. If you like Star Trek, I would recommend you see it.

Thanks for the correction on the exit for Calamari's. I usually look at the exits as I approach. Been using them since they were in New London. They are good. Also have a selection of new material, although it is stored outside and rusting, but handy if needed. For steel now I go to Mid City Steel in Bozrah, everything is kept inside and they have a saw and bender.

Looking forward to coming home on Tuesday.

Good night all, I'm going to attempt to get up at 5 am for a dayshift tomorrow. Trying to adjust back to dayshift will be difficult.
