Good morning folks
Well blew off a big dive job today in order to spend some time with the family not really normal for me but with the DH and I putting in stupid hrs as of late I kind of thought it was needed. Gave the customer a few people /shops to call funny part is I'm the one that usually gets referred by these shops for this sort of thing. I have worked for these people for 10 years and charge them no where near what the job is worth they got a bit of a rude awakening and there was a serious attitude change when they ended up calling me back and were willing to work with my schedule. Don't think I will be hearing anymore whining about the bill either
No big plans just off to Costco and out for lunch but it's the time together that counts just don't tell her I said that

That is funny! sounds like they needed a change in their perspective. Enjoy the time with your family, sounds like it well deserved!
Good morningish all you fine folks. Gotta get a nap soon, back to the 12 hr night shift for a few days.
Mornin REOville! I have smoke detectors in my house again! Only took a little while to get it done, so fed the ex a nice Pepsi Pork Roast with potatoes, corn, gravy and yeast rolls. All in all a nice evening and I have enough roast left for a couple nights this week. I've been wanting some roast for a while so it was a good time to fix it. Rainy here this morning, but it should end this afternoon and tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and 74degrees, sounds like a great day to get some flowers for the pot on my front porch, I think the danger of freezing is over for the season. Hope all have a great Saturday!
Good morning everyone!

Hello peeps, got up early today and desperately needing more coffee. Hope everybody have a good one. I will, shopping for beer is the bees knees other than drinking the stuff
Good morning, everyone
I should be on the road by now, but I slept in and wasn't happy with the condition of my jeans. So I'm settling in with some coffee while I run a quick load of laundry. Don't want to be stinky while delivering my books.

5 phone calls and various texts from work = In i go to sort the mess out they made of the last hour yesterday after i'd gone home. I told them i am no longer on call - but it makes no difference!!
Then took HRH shopping - the usual weekly ritual. I am used to crap drivers here but it takes a rare talent to cause me to sound the horn on the car, but some fool today got some as he pulled out in front on me in a feeder lane and STOPPED! Stopped dead. My car was almost on it's nose i had to brake so hard.
Well we each gave the other the finger and a mouthful of abuse, so honours even.
Decided i'd better not take my blood pressure just now. Spent 20 mins memorising the route i am to use next week. All in all a pretty good morning for me, so now i plan on doing lots of nothing for the rest of the day.

Sounds like you got your blood going. I almost never use my horn, even though I am regularly given ample reason to blast away. I know many people don't always look before hitting the gas...but there are those few who do it on purpose and feel perfectly entitled to do so. That's when I rage in my seat...and cause a scene. I am by no means the safest driver around....but I don't give an inch to those just being rude. Conversely, I live by the "do unto others" philosophy. I let people in front of me who are waiting patiently to turn on a busy street....and I give freeway on ramps a wide berth. Ya...I never said I wasn't a conflicted individual.
I hope you enjoy your day of nothing.
I once taught my step-daughter to drive; i was taught by the police and the usual thing is to do a running commentary on what you are looking at and hazards you may face when people act unexpectedly. So for her benefit - i used to do this. I think she learned to swear more from me than anyone else!

Ya, my daughter is 14 and she's learning a ton from riding with me....I just hope she picks up more on the lessons of the road and less of my potty mouth.

I read your day celebrations, in the hope that the one I want to celebrate, is there, but it never has been.
So all I can say is keep them coming, so that I never miss, "doing sweet F A day" I would hate to miss that one, if it ever happened
