GOOD MORNING

Back from echogram, all is well except the doc wants me to have a stress test with the imaging. So I say why if nothings wrong, and the standard answer was: your age. don't get old stay young and work.. trust me its easier.

What is everyone talking about the chiefs picture, I don't see it.

Weather is 56 cloudy and windy. Had some rain late yesterday but did not hear the storm that Kurt had. April fool to all,always felt sorry for my sister as April 1st was her birthday...S.J.

The Washington Nationals are off to a well deserved good start and I, for one, am glad to see it. Any Nationals fans on this forum? Most folks assume that because I'm a Southerner I pull for the braves but I've never been a braves fan. I used to be a Mets fan but once all the players I knew from their minor league days in Columbia were traded, released, or retired, I kinda lost interest until Montreal mercifully lost the expos to Washington. I miss attending minor league games at Capital City Stadium- CSX tracks on the third base side, NS tracks a stone's throw away- my favorite pasttimes in one place.

Y'all have a nice day!!

Babe, with your screen name, I'd thought you would be either a Yankees fan, or a redsox fan.  Chief, I must admit, had I the technology to do the same, I'd have a new avatar tooWink [;)]  It has been a good day here.  Home with daughter.  When bride returns with son, we will go see about some summer daycare for the kids.  We may need to do the Nanny route, but it depends on something that I would tell those in the know about, but it being April Fools day, I don't want to have folks thinking I am kidding.

Well, it has been good to see that Chief gets around.  I see now what happens when everyone starts eating their grits!

dwiemer- I was a Yankees fan in the Mantle/Maris era. When Steinbrenner entered the picture I couldn't stand his boorish attitude and the shabby way he treated his players, coaches, and the managers. So, I found other interests- started fooling around with cars ( I sure miss my '62 Impala) and girls. Needless to say, that one-two punch pushed baseball and trains out of the picture for many years. I re-discovered baseball when my son became old enough to play T-ball.

Have heard that Major Hochsteader threw Col. Klink in the cooler for his incompentancy again! Also General Burkhalter has Major Hochsteader under arrest in Berlin for smuggling in Vodka. Sgt Shultz is running Luftstalig 13!  Meanwhile Col. Hogan is at the Hauserhoff in Hammelburg having a biere. It don't sound good, maybe Cpl. Scneider will come to Sgt. Shultz's rescue. May have to call for Col. Crittenden to be airdropped from London.

Achtung!!  If you believe any part of the above story get back to watching Hogan's Heroes on DVD! I have the complete six series on DVD.

Well guys enough joking for now, had a decent day, sold some more scrap metal and got $14.00 this time as it was only steel.

Weather has been getting warmer again, close to 85 today, air conditioner came on again & I have it set at 81.

Upgrades, Electric RR.  Lee, loved that show.  Watched it when it ran and then the re-runs.  BTW: I knew you were joking. Smile [:)]  Good luck on the interview thing tomorrow.  Off to Mudcats [baseball] stadium for a FREE meal.  Been invited to a free trip to the Hurricanes game Friday night.  HMM, sometimes this Mayor stuff is not bad. Wink [;)]  Enjoy the evening all.

WOW, I thought all the INDIANS were in CLEVELAND?

Seems Like everyone wants to be DA CHIEF?  LOL pretty funny GIZ.

Busy day for me today have to build a backdrop for the PROM walk.  Its two widows 2foot by 6 foot and a set of French doors that open up.  The size o fthe wall is 10 by 13 feet.  Windows have to have lattese 6 inches by 12 inches every foot on inside of frames then I have to arch the tops above windows and doors.  Windows I built today with the lattese complete.  Used half lap for lattese and dadoed up the frames for lattese to fit into.  Tomorrow will work on putting windows in wall sections.  After this I got an order at our Middle School to build 6 picnic tables 8 feet long to be used for outside classroom.  Boy when it rains it pours?

  It was 70 here today,  nice and warm.  Took dog for a nice slow 4 miler.  Planter peas and kolorohbi and sat outside for a spell.  Nice day.

B GOOD or B GONE.

Obviously I missed all the fun today.

Busy in meetings all morning and then final Robotics class before this coming Saturday's district competition. Warmed up quick here today. Started in low 50's and now it is 75!

Also have to man the Thomas event this weekend (Fri and Sun) so I will be extra busy!

Hope all are having a great evening!
