Wow, it's the last day of January already. Spring gets closer every day, and seeing that "13" for the current temp in the corner of my browser makes me think spring can't be here any too soon.
I do love Sunday mornings . . . I'll be back this afternoon.
Wow the month of January has flew by!! Since I haven't been working I'm losing track of days....didn't even realize it's the last day of the month. Old age might have a little bit to do with that too.
I'm still waiting on my car. My husband got the broken part out, put the new one in, now he just has to get everything else put back together. At least today isn't as bitter cold as it was yesterday so that's a plus for him.
Today is housecleaning day. I think I'll go for a run later and edit some more, but don't hold me to it.
Web, knock em out this morning. Have fun.
Ghost, my DH has that problem too, knowing the date. He just doesn't have any reason to have to know it. But I'm glad to hear you're getting your car back today. Oh, what's up with your daughter's car?

Good day, all. I'm trying to talk me into going to the grocery store. Definitely going to watch the Pro-Bowl later today. Otherwise, I'm not certain what I will make of this day.
Hope everybody has a good one.

Web, you'll be back this afternoon? Is that a threat?
Ghost, when your husband finishes with your car send him over here. I've got a spare $5 bill sitting on the table. It's all his if he can fix the issue I'm having.
MZ, today was gonna be housecleaning day for me too. But when I woke up a little while ago I suddenly realized that cleaning was something better done NEXT weekend.
Mema, I'm surprised you're watching the pro-bowl. For some reason I had you pegged as someone that would think that game was a joke. Once again I was wrong.
Alright, I'm gonna enjoy some music and I have a few letters to type out, then tonight it's back to work.
Everyone have a great day!
Oh, and PS for Web. If you want to take another crack at me on the gridiron let me know!
But I gotta go again. A friend at church asked me to help him pull some satellite coax for a dish to be able to participate in a simulcast marriage seminar in a couple weeks. There are a couple other things to do that we need some tools for so we're going to tackle all those projects this afternoon. If anyone wants to come crawl around in the ceiling insulation for us, we are taking applications.
Come on over! We even have a head lamp for you so you can see where you're going back in the tight places. You can pretend you are Dora the Explorer spelunking your way into a new, wondrous world.
Just make sure you stay on the ceiling joists so we don't have to fix the ceiling where you fell through.
Back home from doing useful, productive things. I even washed my truck as I remembered having a white vehicle, yet the one I was driving was most definitely brown.
Since the half of the population that was not at Wal-Mart was in fact in line at the car wash, I decided to take my groceries home and gas up before going to get in line for a wash bay. As I was getting gas, I noted an odd reddish-brown substance was splattered all over the hood of my truck. If it would have had a dent in the bumper or a broken headlight it seriously would have looked like I committed vehicular homicide recently which I know that I haven't... but still.
So I go to the carwash and pick the shortest line which gets a bit longer in front of me while I'm waiting because a car from the vacuum area cut in front of the car in front of me. I was a little mad about that, but surmised that line cutter must have been the wife of the guy in front of me. She washes her car, then leaves... he pulls in and washes his car, then here is where it gets weird: instead of pulling out of the bay he pumps 3 more quarters into the control unit then he turns around and starts washing the gunk off of MY truck. Never made eye contact with me, didn't acknowledge when I thanked him... just spent about a minute and a half washing the front of my truck and then got in his car and drove away. Nice of him, but I'm wondering what he was thinking?

I do think that game is a joke, but its still football and there's not much else on tonight. I'm thinking it will be lame and will probably bore me to sleep early.

Um, either you were the recipient of a rare act of kindness or he was washing him and his wife's DNA off your car (his wife's body in the trunk of his car and it was actually his girlfriend in the car before him).
I'm sure it was a semi-apology for letting the other car line jump. Still, if I didn't know the person driving the vehicle, I sure wouldn't have involved myself in possibly "disposing of the evidence". Dude did look puzzled but much to his credit he didn't ask. I was on the phone with my mom at the time and had told her about the condition of my truck and that the guy was washing it off for me. Her comment was "Maybe he WANTS you to get away with it!"

Mission accomplished. Doug offered to be the voyager today so he did the attic. While he did that, I cut the hole in the front of the stage and rerouted all the cords and cables.
Now, If only I had someone to play some football with.

So the coaxial cable has been hung through the ceiling with care? In the hopes that digital transmissions soon will be there?

Still not sure what's going on with her car Mz. He hooked the scanner up, not showing any codes. He did replace the PCV valve in it; told her to drive it and if the check engine light comes on again, he'll scan it once more, see if it then puts out any codes. Might end up being one of those process of elimination things.
Mema, I don't know if he cleared them out first or what. Sometimes my husband does things bassackwards. All I know is the light wasn't on tonight when she went out to see her boyfriend. If it comes back on, I'll hear about it.
