Well Mook you could try playing with this bouncy ball...Ace and Chace seemed to like it.  Heck, I play with it from time to time as well.

I've got a tweezers in the truck here someplace.....

After last nights' work, I think I'm sick of Pam cooking spray.  A few of us got sent over to the FedEx line to help make the deck panels that go inside, and we use Pam so the foam we inject into the panels for strength does not stick to where we don't want it.  Only downside is that handling the panels after they come out of the press is like handling a greased pig, can't get any grip, even with rubber gloves.

Will take a lot of fish--Going back to Burlington this weekend to see an aunt that is home from Aspen, CO.  We are all going out for a fish fry tonight, should be about twenty or thirty of us there.

See everyone later......

Randy, I think I got enough fish and sides ready for 40 people (always make extra, just in case).  Hope everyone enjoys it, and hope you have a very nice, pleasant and happy time with the family!!

I just got done with some 1st Aid here at work...laceration due to gravity's attraction to heavy objects via a forehead.  I'll have my kit around too.

Mook that ball should take care of any excess energy and aggression you may have.  Not sure how well it'll work in a construction site tho...I do know that it does float so if the liquid sunshine is blessing you it won't disappear!

Stopping by to say hello. CW I don't mean to ignore you on the phone when you call, I am usually busy with the baby.

 Pizza sounds great, maybe I will stink around and have some. See if Sadie would let me though

Good morning everyone. Yeah, I am up a little early, but am going to sit trackside for a few hours before our hometown's parade. Well, I'll be here for the pizza fest tonight for sure. Everyone have a great day.

Good Saturday morning, everyone.  Looks like another great day to get outside, and do some things in the yard, go railfanning, and/or whatever else toots your train horn!!

Joe, thanks for making the coffee and the juice!  And thank you, also, for the muffins and rolls this morning.  Hope Matt's first ballgame goes well!  

Jay, good luck and best wishes on the steam train!!!!!

Morning everyone.  I hope everybody's day started better than mine.  About 7:30 I heard a loud repeated banging on my front door.  Upon answering an officer from the Oshkosh PD kindly asked me if there was anything wrong with my truck when it was parked last night.  I said nope, why?  He asked me to look at it.  SOME IDIOT SHOT OUT TWO WINDOWS ON MY TRUCK! Censored [censored] Evil [}:)] However, I wasn't the only special one...7 houses on my street had cars with windows and/or head/tail lights get shot.  You should have seen the three officers banging on doors.  What the hell is wrong with some people?  SoapBox [soapbox]

Ok I feel better.  Sorry for the rant.  At least the insurance guy was nice when processing my claim.  Joe thanks for fruhstuck!  (German for breakfast.)  Those muffins and juice hit the spot right about now.  Hope the ballgame goes well for Matt.  Jay I hope your pictures and trip go well.  I was going to head to Neenah/FDL/and GB today for railfanning, but now I have other things to clean up and take care of...oh well.  I guess that's life in the big city.  Back later!

Sorry to hear about your truck, Dan. Sometimes I really wonder what this world is coming to. Not too long ago we had an incident like that in one neighborhood here in Omaha too.

Nice weekend coming up. Highs in the lower to mid 80s both days and no rain. Next chance of rain/severe thunderstorms isn't until Tuesday night, so we may be needing the sprinkler system soon.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

GRRRR!! That sucks.

I see stories on the Arizona Daily Sun (Flagstaff's local paper)  about car burglaries, breakins, robberies, and crap like  that, and it hasn't been this bad since Ileft. I am so afraid of renting a car there, thinking it's gonna get stolen, or broken into while I am there. 

Ditto with Wily's question, what is this world coming to?

I don't know what this world is coming to.  Damages came to $700 on my truck.  Deductible is $250.  I'm glad I have a smallish deductible!  CW I'm really hungry so far.  I hope that there's lots of pizza tonite!  Gotta go change the oil in the truck and the car then work on the rearend of the truck.  Need more speed!

Everyone, here is tonight's pizza menu:

1.  Canadian bacon
2.  Anchovie
3.  Pepperoni/sausage/mushroom
4.  Supreme
5.  Goetta
6.  Hawaiian
7.  Veggie

As always, there are THREE extra large of each of the seven kinds of pizza.  So everyone grab a plate, put your pizza slices on it, and head on out to the patio.  It's too nice an evening to be sitting inside.

Supreme is the way for me. I stopped by the store on the way here and picked up some 2liters.

I'll be on the patio if anyone needs me.

CW that pepperoni and sausage hit the spot.  Many thanks to you for your effort.  I'll head out to the patio to relax for a bit and enjoy the evening.  What a nice day it was.

**Weed Wars Update**
-Dateline: My backyard
There's only one hope for the few remaining weeds.  If they aren't visible in daylight they may be safe.  Thus far 90-95% of the resident weed population had been decimated as a direct result of what appears to be a deliberate act against Weedkind.  An unknown assailant (Shock [:O]Evil [}:)]) has spread many gallons of one of the most toxic substances all over Weedville.  Many of its residents have perished in the early days of what appears to be an ongoing battle.  More updates from the front as they become available.

Well, I was out and about all morning submitting job applications. I submitted an application at Arby's, Panera Bread, and a Fareway grocery store. I've got to start bringing in some money to pay for gas (now that I'm driving) and also for college books, etc. College is still two years away, but I want to be well prepared for it.

Dan - It seems like no matter how much we try to get rid of the weeds in our flower gardens, a few always survive and spread their seeds and create a whole new bunch of weeds. It's a never ending battle!

We're now in the midst of graduation season here- one party to hit tomorrow and three more next weekend.

Willy, I thought you were only a year or two away from HS graduation.

You asked for it and now you got it, a recent picture of Sadie

 

No rain here, but thank god there is no fires close to us, if you want to see what it looked like last week here, check it out, Here is what North Florida (Lake City) looks like now 

 

Now you see why we were pleading for rain, it was horrible here. Last I heard, our fire (Bradford fire) was 80% contained as of last week, but nothing new about it since, I assume it is pretty much under control. The Bugaboo fire is 80% contained as well, but it's more volitile, since there is high wind, and lightning threats around there.

 We need to get soaked...we need the rain bad

Two years away. That's what I meant by a few years, but maybe I'll just edit the post so that it says two years rather than a few years. I guess a few is more like three or four rather than two.
