Good afternoon everyone!

I get to help my brother for free.
Driving up here the steel belt separated coming up I-91.
Cooper doesn't make those tires anymore.
So I needed four.
I broke the lug wrench trying to get it off.
When the wrench let go I smashed my severed fingertip.
At least I could get the spare off because I had to replace my gas tank a year ago.

Yay..

If I do see you this weekend please don't show me your finger. I don't do well with that type of thing.

Don't worry. It needs to remain tightly wrapped.
Thank you. I'll call you tomorrow.

Hello everyone

Today was my last day of work.

We learned at the end of April that my company's service contract would cease with the end of June.

I learned today that my time was up.

So does that mean you won't be able to get online any more? I thought I remembered seeing something about no internet at home and only posting at work.

Either way good luck finding a new job. It's a tough marketplace out there right now.

I have internet at home.

As for FTE while only at work, I wanted my time at home to be family time.

And too I was working the afternoon - evening shift.

So basically I stayed away from FTE on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

Don't expect to see me at any distant GTG's, I don't know if I'll attend this Sunday's.

Andy,

I've had much worse. Today was just another learning experience.
Frustrating as all get out when you're trying to do the right thing and it costs you more time and money.

As for the chapter stickers, I'd like three of the smaller ones.
Grey if they're available, though I'd like to see the metallic ones.
