  • We've had 32 inches of snow so far this year.  That's about triple what we normally get a year around here.  The snow is piled 3 to 10 feet on both sides of the road everywhere in town.  In the country, where the wind blows free, it's 0 to 15'.  Amazing..........................Global warming............ya think???

    One more day of work and we are done for the year.  The whole place has to shut down by Thursday morning.  The new mill software we have doesn't recognize the 31st of December as a day and will not let up compute.  Gotta love the new stuff they put out these days!!!

    Christmas went as well as it could.  Made one family gathering, canceled another and missed the last one.  But that's what 19" in 3 days and 40mph winds will do to ya!!!

    With the holidays almost over, it's time to start sweating those pounds off again.  You would think I would learn someday to stay away from all that good food!!!

    Am drinking whiskey now instead of beer.  I must becoming an alcoholic since there seems to be more whiskey in the glass than water................and it tastes better.

    Had a colonoscopy last week and the results came back yesterday.  Everyone was right.........I AM a perfect Asshole!!!!!!

    Got a couple of nice presents for Christmas.  Between the birthday, father's day and Xmas, I now have a new set of golf clubs.  Now what am I going to blame it on????????

    That just about sums things up for now.  Take care all you Xanga Eskimos and keep cool!!!

  • I finally put the old Gateway to rest.  Well, not completely.  It's moved to the card table and it's final days will be spent downloading all the files.  And what replaced it,,,,,,,,,,,,,you ask????

    I got a dell 546 mini tower, 500GB drive, 4gb ram, 22" HD monitor and all the stuff in between.  Yeah, it's cool.  But, since I have had old shit for so long, it's going to take a while to catch on the new stuff.  So far, the games are really cool.  ha! 

    But, I found out that Outlook Express is a thing of the past and will have to try something different for my mail. We'll figure it all out eventually.  In the meantime, I am just playing around..................what else is there to do out here in the frozen middle of nowhere USA!!!

  • Holy Crap!!!!!!!!   A little warning would have been nice.  Damn near 70 degrees over Thankgiving and 10 days into December we have damn near a foot of snow and 30 below zero wind chill.   Of course, since we live in the land of wind chargers, the snow isn't necessarily 12" deep everywhere.

  • Ok..............I have been really busy at work.  5 days a week just about kills me.  Does anyone else have to work this much?   We have been implementing new software. That alone is enough not to blog on here for months. 

    The family is fine and life is the same.  I have lots of orders for Rocking chairs and picnic tables and swings and I don't have time to do them all. 

    I need to get a colonoscopy............. because I am way past due.............cause I need to know that I am a perfect asshole........................ 

    I got season tickets to Nebraska football...................they are not doing so well, but Iowa is................Go Figure!!!

    Whiskey definitely helps you sleep better................

    Why are my trees the last ones to lose their leaves in the neighborhood...................

    Why did field mice pick my garden to live in..................................

    And the list goes on and on and on...............................enough for now!!!!!!

  • Wow!  Been a long time since I been here.  Guess I got caught up in the real world.  Got back to work full time the 20th of April.  Exactly 12 weeks after total knee.  It feels so much better than the old one.  But, I need to baby it a bit, cause I don't want to wear it out too soon. 

    Not working much.  Some weeks we work 5 days, some 3 and one week we didn't work at all.  We are guaranteed 32 hours per week, but some of that is straight time.  Which is better than most, but it still sucks compared to bonus bucks. 

    Getting a lot of fishing and boating time in.  Looking for a different tube.  Maybe two little ones would be the best.  Only my kids water ski.

    Baby daughter got married June 13th.  Everything went great and as planned.  A woman would tell you all the mushy details.  Sorry, ain't gonna happen here.

    So, I golf  and boat and fish and mow the lawn and work sometimes.  Life is great here in the middle of nowhere USA!!!
