Riding the MetroNorth back to New Haven, then have a 45 min drive home from there. Almost in Bridgeport, wheeeee!
Sounds like fun! ;)

Sitting in bed, news on in the background, listening to the dog & Brian snore ;), researching campgrounds, fecking around on Facebook with some word games, and I'll soon be reading Edna O'Brien's Girls in Their Married Bliss (not assigned... I couldn't just read the first 2 in the trilogy and not find out what happened to them... thankfully, no reading assignment due for that next class so I have a little leeway).

A lot of reading. :lol: Not too bad. I have writing assignments every 3 weeks for one class, the other only has one 8-10 pg paper which I have another month to do. Mid-term exams are next week. I'm getting all the school work done... but the housework has suffered terribly. Oh well. It will be there later. :D Haven't figured out how to balance all the homework I have between losing daylight and lack of childcare so I can get out and run and MTB... but I'll figure it out yet.

New laptop arrive yet?

I need sleep! I stayed up way too late playing word games... I'll be lucky to get 5 hrs of sleep tonight. :( My own fault though.

what biz where/are you in?



its nice to have someone clean get her to do laundry if you can. also have a very important conversation on where you like your stuff to go. like bills, mail and other stuff. it will save you soooo much confusion.

Laundry is no problem..I just want someone to vacuum, clean the kitchen and clean the bathroom..and dust..

There's a key to my mailbox and I keep my bills in filing cabinets..:daffy:

Just finished up playing 18 holes of golf with my Dad this AM. Getting ready to add to the "golf thread" and then outside to enjoy some of the nice 85-90 degree dry weather today in Southwest Florida today :)

Just surfin' the net waiting for my Dad's new golf cart to be delivered shortly :) and my wife, kids and mother to get back from their trip to Sarasota who who knows what :rolleyes: Then, I'm guessing that they'll be a 100% chance of me having some serious "Dad time" in the pool with my kids :)

I just went out and checked out a tombstone..then hit up the camara shop for photo squares for another album of......tombstones..woo hoo...now I'm going to go through the massive amount of mail. September was a big month for us..I think 3rd or 4th best in the past 4 years and October is off to a big start...

My grandma is down in Sarasota now..she used to rent a condo from January to March and last winter she bought the condo she used to rent..she's down there until Thanksgiving and then she's going back down there after New Years. She loves Sarasota and I might eventually visit her down there..

Not a bad area GSS, although the Tampa and Ybor City tend to actually have things going on after 7:30PM unlike areas South of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge ;) The Gulf beaches of this part of Florida are GREAT, and there pretty much a Hooter's every other block ;)

Right now I'm about to start convincing my Dad that we need to trick out his new Golfcart! I'm thinking a 12" LCD TV with some satellite TV and one of those new Krups/Hieneken mini keg coolers for starters :rolleyes: ;)

I was just out in a cemetery meeting with a crackpot customer. 2 weeks ago we set his wifes monument..he called complaining that it wasn't level and that the foundation was sinking. I checked it out 2 days ago and it was perfect. Well he insisted that I would meet him in the cemetery which I did. I put the level on the monument..from side to side and front to back and it was perfect..the foundation was fine and he wondered why the foundation was lower than the monument next to it and it was because the one next to it is slightly uphill. Anyway we talked to the guy in charge of the foundations at the cemetery and he said that the foundation could be capped and raised 2-3 inches higher..That would mean we'd have to move the monument off the foundation and then after the concrete sets up..reset the monument.

I told the guy I would find out from the boss how much this would cost..well he got uber pissed and got in my face and said the office manager said we would take care of it..I told him..by taking care of it we would check it out. So when the boss returns from golf..I'm going to make sure that he charges this guy an arm and a leg..because we did our job..and in this situation I don't want the squaeky wheel to get the grease..best of all we're already paid in full for this..I won't let customers bully us around..
