    Well, my niece is out of surgery. She's got a cast from knuckles to shoulder, and three pins in her humerus. I havent heard anything from the sis in law about how long her recovery will be of if she'll be able to go back to cheer once the cast comes off. With the height that those little...

    Evenin' all. Not too much going on here. I mowed the yard. I miss my riding mower already. Unfortunately, the yard just isn't big enough for it. It took about an hour to get it with the push mower. Dinner was a light affair for me. I finished off what was left of my Cuban Black Bean...

    Good morning all. At least it isnt Monday. Traffic was crazy this morning. Normally, I have about a 40-45 minute drive to get in. The last mile on the interstate this morning took almost 10 minutes to traverse. Needless to say I was not on time this morning. Thankfully, again, no one is...

    Oh, and my bike still isnt out of the shop yet. They are still waiting on the cam chain tensioner to come in. I really hope it arrives soon and I can get my bike before the end of the week. The weather is absolutely gorgeous in the Carolinas right now. Most of the week is going to be lows in...

    Good morning everyone. As expected, the weekend was crazy busy. We got about three more van loads taken out of the old house, and we got a van load and a truck and trailer load of stuff taken out to my dad's (he's volunteered to play storage unit). Got the grill to the new house, finally...

    *Sigh* Meeting with the DC done. No raise AND I'm losing the company vehicle. But for the performance eval, he said "Dont let it discourage you, I had nothing to do with who got raises. Youre doing a great job and things are progressing nicely." :glare: New company sure knows how to...

    Mornin' everyone. PD, welcome back sir! Glad to hear it was just an internet hiatus that kept you away. Yes, there was some concern, but as long as all is well (as it can be), it's all good. The weather here is so confused... We hit a record high yesterday of 83 degrees. Today, we MIGHT hit...

    Happy Hump Day y'all! Hey guess what! RAIN in the forecast! The team was able to get a practice in yesterday, which was kind of shocking. Now, I get to finish up some last minute stuff, then head across town for meetings. From 9-11. Blech. Yeah, I cant say as I blame you there. I...

    Good morning Posse. Today starts our wet week. Temps in the 70's again, but its far from nice with the promise of rain every day through Sunday. My bike should be ready to pick up from the shop today or tomorrow, but it's going to have to sit there until next week. Mrs E said Melanie's...

    While yall are playing in the mud, I've spent the last hour and a half on the phone with the cable company about our "high speed" internet service. We pay for a 15Mb service, but have been averaging under 3MB for a month. But, all is good now. I ended up talking to some guy in Tier 2 to get it...

    Mornin'. I'm sunburned and exhausted. The weekend was absolutely gorgeous. 70+ degrees, clear skies. Kat had a two hour practice Saturday. That was then followed with a "field beautification". The high school they practice at let's them use the facilities for a low cost, the coach...

    It's really not that bad. FB, I mean. Just make sure you don't put anything important in it, and keep your privacy settings locked down tight. Besides, now you can keep up with friends and family!
