Tee that made me tired reading all that, good grief! You need some rest! Not much happening here today, it's the slow day of the year for me, but the guys have some things to work on and I saw somebody's white C8 over there for some paint protection film. Gonna ride out the rest of the day and hope for the best.

Could've drove my Vette last couple days except after plowing, there's giant snow piles all over and those make mud and puddles. Also, some brainiack with the city plowed over by Walmart and left a huge pile in the right turn lane. Some poor dude Luke Duked it the other day.
I miss my vert too, and if I ever get another, that's what I'll get. Targa tops ain't worth it. Got my first Vette when I was 25, it was a six year old '87 model, silver on top, black bottom, graphite interior.

Asking the question we all wanna know -

gloomy here, only around 48. Was supposed to be lower 50s and sunny, now calling for rain. Had a short hike planned so that's now off the table. Just been sitting here wondering what to do with myself, not interested in messing with anything I need to be doing. Plus, Arron is still in bed so that kinda ruins it, I have to be quiet. The crap I was gonna do involves a bunch of racket, furniture moving, picture hanging, and what not. Might just sit here, watch tv and loaf.

I'd like to get my Vette out, too much junk on the side roads here still although it's better today since sun was out. I know we should "live and let live" but underarm hair is just gross to me on a woman, and on a man. There is no need for it, the stuff just traps sweat and odors. Everyone wanted to leave work early today, owner has church company coming, Ron was tired from being up there late all week and I just didn't want to be there at all and the other dude didn't even bother showing up. Glad to be home. Vette club meeting tonight, I just got a text and I of course forgot so oh well, will catch em next month.

Getting way more dangerous everywhere. We never have murders here but now we do. Next town over is full of pedos. I'll never understand the mindset for either but hope they all rot.
Gloomy day here, a bit colder than yesterday. I dressed for the weather the weather app told me, 49 and sunny. I'm cold. Supposed to be glorious this weekend though so I want to go hike somewhere. I'm in the wrong part of the state to just up and go, anywhere decent is a 3-hour plus drive and I know Arron would like to rest on the weekends so I'll bounce it off him to see what he'd like to do.

Dreary today, might rain, might not. This is Arkansas. 45 currently. Never in my life was I happier to see 45 than I was yesterday along with sun. Sick to death of looking at snow. Slow season at work, might just sit here and try to look busy all day

Agreed, they really do become our family. I miss having Onyx and Sam here even though they worked my last nerve sometimes. Sometimes we go out thrifting and will stop by a rescue place and pet a few. Not sure we are ready to be having another just yet.
I will say I have never been so excited in all my life of seeing 45º outside. Sunny, so the porch is warming up, stuff is melting. 60 coming for Friday and a week of 60s almost next week.
6 more weeks of winter though. I do have some groundhog stew recipes for anyone in need.
Nothing planned today but soak up sun. Slept till 10:30 and still feel out of it.

I've watched those python videos, no way on God's green earth would you get me out in the muck grabbing those. Cold here today but sunny and warmer that is has been. Imbolc celebrations and fingers crossed for tomorrow for more warm and sun and for Friday that's forecast to be sunny and 60. I will be outside in my lawnchair. Nothing much here, slept in today, Mexican and palomas for lunch, donuts for dessert, thrifting and just being lazy.

Yes, good riddance, take this snow, ice and crap with it. It can also take this sinus infection with it. Third time in a row I've been sick and it has me weak. heck getting dressed winded me today. I HATE this time of year. I can't see what would make someone live somewhere on purpose where it does this all the time.
Missed last couple days, wasn't able to log in, but can at home with no issues. But, here at the house, it won't let me in to see what I missed yesterday. Tried to post once today, got an "invalid session time" the first go around. Weird. Bring on spring!

Good morning, sunny here and headed to 34. Most roads were clear on my way in except my street and the next one, after that, once I left my town stuff was fine. My town sits on their asses and whines they don't have trucks, manpower etc. Yet, as I left town, a worker in a city truck was just sitting on the side of the highway scratching his ass. A plow blade can be had for $1200 and give his lazy self something to do. The plow that did come through didn't hardly have a blade down. The tiny town up the road with 500 in it had 3 scrapers when I went through. My town has 7000 and zilch. Has a lot of folks irritated.
Slow day here thankfully as I've not slept much in the last few days, already ready to get home.

Yep, I've had my share of winter. Sick of it. I am ready to cancel this Michigan Starter Pack I've been subscribed to. Was 5 here last night, 19 today but the sun was out so I was happy. With the heater on the back patio, it was 67 out there so that's where I spent a good bit of the day. I have not got stuff done here I wanted to, but I won't pass up sitting in my spot to lift my mood and attitude when it's this cold out. Arron just got home and is out shoveling himself a path for in the morning, since things thawed some today, they'll refreeze tonight and at least if it's flatter it will be easier to get out. I've got stew on the stove maybe that will help get the chill off.
Speaking of that judge on that case, a video has also just been released showing her performing a hit and run at her office. She hit an employee's suv then went around and parked, checked out the damage on the way in and said nothing. The lady saw it later, called police and it was "settled" off record, guesses are the lady didn't want to make the judge mad therebjeapory jeapardizing her job. So, that's a new twist to all this along with the rumors of her being high and drunk all the time.

low of 5 coming for tonight, we got a couple inches of sleet today on top of the snow from yesterday then more snow today. Not a fan. I've got nothing accomplished all weekend. Yesterday Arron didn't feel good so he was in bed so I had to be quiet all day. Today was just cold and I had no energy either. Felt like I was coming down with something. Better now but I'm not starting anything this late.
The dude from Arkansas is not far from me, and we all hope he wins the sheriff's seat and would vote for him if we could. Idiot judge and cohorts are trying to get him on the hook because he ran his mouth prior and trying to say it was pre-meditated. Well yeah, most of us would do the same. I vote we let more dads handle the child pervs and the crap might stop.

11 here, with -7 windchill. It will hover around that for the next 10 days here. What I wouldn't give to be in Tommy's neck of the woods. Snow depth varies, we had wind so there's big drifts around, but out back in the open looks around 5-6". It will continue to snow through tomorrow night. We had some flaks the size of golfballs earlier, I saw pics. Had intentions to do a lot today, but I did a lot yesterday so thinking I might just sit on my rear today. Arron is still in bed, he don't feel good which means I have to be quiet in here and can't get my crap done. The four wheeler has 3 flats and a ripped fender so playing on that is out of notion. I did remember to unhook the car battery though, probably should've done that on the Rover too since it won't be moved for a while. I need to get out there and get my tools out of it. I need them in the house this weekend. I sat here last night making it a point to think of what I needed out of that, even drove him to the store for meds last night late and asked him what I needed. We agreed nothing. And of course, when it's cold out and tons of snow I remember what it was.

Good morning Gris, cold here, more cold coming along with a foot of snow and sleet. Not happy about being stuck in the house for a few days, I will lose my ever-loving mind. I have plenty to keep me busy, but I'm an outside person. Bout to go to a couple of appointments, pick up meds, hit a junk store or two, then the dollar tree for some essentials for a needy family here, then home. Get the faucets dripping and heat cranked and gas up the generator yall, we're told this will be one to remember here.

Stocked up here, been hunting and gathering the last couple of days. Already got the SXS done and printing and a trailer ready to print, maybe I can use the afternoon to chill a bit and tidy up in here, get the tv hung, etc. Boxing tonight and that will be the end of it for me till next week. Worn out from last night, we practiced "clinching". It's where you see two boxers holding on to one another - I always thought it was because they were tired, it's to wear down the opponent. We did about 6 round of that 2 mins each and that mess wore me slap out. Learned a couple of tricks while I was at it so that was fun. Home tonight after, make supper and proceed to get dug in. I have an appointment Friday but that's it that I know of

Let me redo that - mayor , who is also one of our certified weather spotters just posted a vid:
we're up to "10+" inches of snow, sleet, 15mph winds with snow drifts, lows near zero and windchill making it "several degrees below zero". I am not made for this crap!

Good morning Matt. Yep, not 75 and sunny here either, more like 35 and raining. We're officially under a winter storm warning with 6+ inches of snow due in Saturday. Was hoping we'd make it without it. Fun to play in but not have to try to get to work in.
About the music, yeah it would be funny to find a way to stream in some. I think I'll find one of mine from home and hide it over there somewhere and mess with them. I've got a matched pair out in the yard I can put in there so they'll have more trouble locating the source.
Guess I best get busy here, have a UTV to get some camo laid out for.

Good afternoon, sunny here but very cold, and more cold coming, with snow. Whoever sent me your weather, come get it.
Speaking of warm weather, beaches and vacations, wondering if my neighbor was the one that won the lottery. He rolled in last night with a giant Monterrey yacht, danged near tall as his house. Takes up the full length of his driveway. Even used, depending on what model he got, it's 6 figures. I need his job.
Trying to get through the next couple hours here at the office, guys in the shop keep turning up the stereo - which has nice bass but I don't need to be hearing it in my room. Nor do my customers that come in. Been a constant battle. My anxiety, ADHD with sensory issues can't handle it.

Good afternoon, cold here too which puts a damper on my activities as well. I need to shampoo some rugs and prefer to do them all at once out in the driveway, then let sun dry and disinfect them. Too cold. It's gloomy too which also throttles my motivation. I agree Marcus, sandy beaches and 80 is where it's at. My normal beach spot got snowed on so that's out. We usually go in winter, prices are very low but we didn't this year, I was sick too much. Maybe soon.
Who do you book through? I use VRBO but when I can, I member up in the local groups of where I go and search out owner direct listings.

Good afternoon - whichever one of yous up above me that sent me cold, come back and get it. Your weather is down here drunk. Tommy, can I borrow 30º till Friday? At least no snow here, but my beach community is getting it, so long as they keep it there.
Not been up to much the last couple days, had an appt Friday, got some antibiotics for the sinus mess to avoid bronchitis, better already. Arron still coughs and sounds like a seal blowing a kazoo. He might up at the ENT office. We slept in then headed to Memphis yesterday to junk shop. I slept till after 10 this morning, can't remember the last time I did that.

@Tee - I struggled with digital also, as I learned the old way, darkroom and film cameras. I still find digital is very different.
I've used Photoshop since it came out, and that software now is to the point there's stuff in there I'll never use, there's just so much to it now. AI has affected things too, even Photoshop, but I tend to do what edits I need in there the old fashioned way as well. I don't use lightroom a lot, I do use it some, but I have a friend that does and we sometimes share tips. Of course, his focus is on social media presentations of his photos, occasional prints, smaller in size. Mine is primarily large format so I tend to "pixel pick" more than he does.

As far as the fees, Photoshop/Lightroom is only like $10 a month and it's worth that I think even to play with. I pay for the full suite, $60/mo but I do use other apps in there. My sub also gets me video stuff too that I want to learn more of. For the time being though, jump in there and sign up for the trial and play with it all, you get a month. I have a 2008 Macbook I have CS3 installed on I still use for simple photo editing. If you have an older machine, I do think older CD versions are still available to buy and license, even if they aren't supported. For basic photo editing, those will be just fine.
I'll be more than happy to discuss stuff with you and help you any way I can, just text or call (870-926-0270).

Good afternoon, cold here but at least the sun is out. Makes it not feel so cold, since I had to measure at truck first thing this morning at 29*. Already done with that plus one more and sent them to print, so guys will have work the next couple days anyhow. Been pilfering Amazon for office stuff, need a swing out tv mount, guest chair, table, lateral files etc. Of course I can source this stuff cheaper myself but he says "amazon only". yeah, this month half gone already, time needs to slow down. Well, it can keep the pace tills spring then slow down so I can enjoy the warm weather longer.

Good afternoon. Yeah, Tommy and his new toy took the cake yesterday. Gloomy here this morning, but sun is trying. Drastically cold compared to yesterday. Bout to take a break and go get my allergy shot and pick up a chair and come back to the office. Working on a blue camo for a Yamaha Umax, should have that done shortly, might can proof before 5.
Not sure if I mentioned or not being able to pick some at the local Ford dealership, my friend Barry owned it, he shut down years ago but kept building. He took care of a lady in the nursing home when I did, she died so he had her stuff and his parent's stuff after they died. He was selling things but eventually hauled off what was left, and was giving away small things to get cleared before demo. Demo happend 4 days early and he lost some interior things that some folks including me were coming to get but not before I drug out a few garbage sacks of Playboys. I got a few 60s, a tub of 70s and a handful of 80s. I found the Bo Derek one, and the Trump one, guessing someone already sifted them. I did end up finding this also, Oct 1967 Hot Rod, discussing the upcoming 68 Vette. thought it was pretty neat. Not as neat as Tommy's find but still lol

OMG WOW! Send us pics!!! I bet that's pretty, I like the way Sue thinks.
Beautiful day here to be out playing with it, sunny and should be mid 60's in a bit. Cold front on the way though. Drove my Vette today, it's got so much dust on it you can't tell what color it is, and is usual, I've parked with no gas in it. Not sure what the atmosphere is doing this morning, but it sure did seem to run better than usual. I've had it long enough I'm considering pestering Arron to work his engine magic for me and maybe a supercharger for Christmas. 425 hp is plenty but what's a little more gonna hurt? Just gets me to the beach faster.

Present and accounted for. I've just loafed last couple days. Got nothing done, still low energy but at least head is clearing up and coughing is better enough to be off meds. Still didn't sleep last night though, just couldn't relax for some reason and was awake a lot despite my Lunesta, a tylenol and a muscle relaxer. I have GOT to get some progress made.
On a side note, my friend that owned the local Ford dealership, sold out a few years ago but still kept building. He took care of a lady at the nursing home when I was taking care of my cousin. His parents also died so he had all their stuff to sell so he used his building. I wasn't able to go pilfer as I was either at work or someplace else. Wasn't interested in any of the furniture. Well, he was there the other day so I went, then went back next evening for some stuff with a coworker. I scored 4 garbage bags of old Playboy. Ron got some too, not as many as me. I did get a few other things. Also, we tried to go Saturday with trailer and building demo had started, wasn't supposed to start till Monday. Pissed Barry off as there were two "double" old desks we were going to get for work benches plus some very heavy solid cubicle panels, one work station, etc. All bulldozed. Oh well. Such is life they say. There was a 55 gal drum of hydraulic fluid in there too wondering how that went when it got knocked over....

Rise and shine yall and make it a great day.
Gloomy here, rained earlier, just overcast and dreary now. Wind might pick up later, not sure, hoping tomorrow is descent. Had my fingers crossed for a nice sunny warm weekend but seems it will be cold and sunny instead. At least the sun will be out, that helps. I'm about over the sinus crud, and now Arron has it, or something. Sore throat last night, little fever, he did get up and go to work today, hope whatever he has is over fast. He felt good enough to make chili though, then he ate and went straight to bed.

I'm not but I'm here at work anyway. Go home time in a couple hours. I'm not boxing tonight, still don't feel great, maybe tomorrow. Glad I skipped last night, whatever they did they posted a pic and were all muddy. Said something about crawling on the ground 80 yards. Sun was out earlier but clouds are moving in. Supposed to rain tomorrow

Good morning Gris, sunny and warm here, should be 70, always on my work days and not my off days. At least I can open my office door here and let fresh air in. Have a trailer and a truck to work on, that's enough for today.

Good afternoon, sunny and 61 here today, have had the sinus crud so just kept my head down a bit. Got out some this weekend to a junk store or two, at least got some walking in that way but that's been about it. Don't feel like doing much. Will be 70 tomorrow, be a good day to stay home and sit in the sun but bills don't stop. Sorry to hear about the dog Cap Mike, they are hard to see them go. My older friend that had the Ford store here, sold a while back to another dealer - who build a new facility, has sold his building and is clearing out. He sat up there for quite a while selling stuff, including two house fulls of stuff from his deceased parents and a lady in the nursing home he took care of. He hauled off some stuff for donation then put the word out what's left was free, come clean it out. I went up there to look around, missed the good stuff but sure was some memories. He's even sold off some of his cars, I guess he's winding down. He had some shop tables and cabinets a dude I work with wanted but then I can't get him to answer me so I guess he'll do without. I wanted the big heavy entrance table but I have no place for it.

We got one last day to do something productive. Ain't happening where I'm at. Came down with the crud again, wasn't really over it to start with. Went to bed early, turned mattress pad heater on, jacked the heat up and sweated it out. Feel somewhat better, we'll see after I finish my coffee.

She had leather gloves came halfway up her arm, and the long cigarette stick thing. I don't have that but I have her gloves, a hat, this coat, a cape or two of hers. There's a furrier in Memphis I plan to take it to for some minor repairs if I ever think about it.
It's 30 here but due to warm up, at least the sun is out

Whassup - been a bit busy earlier, waiting on a trailer approval now then will get that sent to production. Have a couple of small things to work on besides that. I tried to log back in yesterday to see any updates and couldn't. Today, worked fine. Must be a solar flare thingie or something. Still cold here, drug the vintage mink back out. I might look funny with jeans, hiking boots and that thing but I'll bet I'm warmer than anybody else. Supposed to warm up tomorrow, we'll see.

Good afternoon - sorry you got the bug Matt, lots of junk going around. Cold here too, anything under 50 all feels the same to me, but this 21* mess is nonsense. I drug out my Nanny's vintage knee-length mink today, love that coat it's the warmest I have. It needs work but it's fine for me to wear. I have all kinds of coats, fox collared long wool coat, a full fox jacket, this mink plus her old pancos with fur trim. I try to wear each one during the winters just to say I did. Plus these old coats are warmer to me that ones you get now for some reason. I had planned to come in to work today since we'll be off the first, plus I missed with Arron's procedure so I'm due to be here every day. Was still wired and wide awake at 3:30 this morning so I'm just getting here. I'll get this kid's trailer done and that'll about be it for me today.

Good morning, hope everyone had a good Christmas. Sounds like you did Marcus, enjoy the car! Floors will just get messed up again so why bother? Sunny here and warm so my plans are to just sit outside all day. Wanted to run to the beach but the weather here was actually nicer. We kept to ourselves this go around, had chinese food for Christmas Eve, then drove around to see lights. Slept in for Christmas, had coffee then a 2pm breakfast at Ihop then a short hike for a nature fix and that's been it for us. I got him some lotto tickets for Christmas but some body else won that 2 bil, I hear it's an elderly lady, in the Walton family that owns Walmart so she isn't in need of it. We won zero on ours all the way around. I got a Go Pro 13 so took that yesterday, I will have to make sure I omit the sound if I upload vids, as that hike was some difficult nonsense and there's for sure some colorful language in there.

I've not heard that rhyme in a long time.
Dreary again today but warmer, I have my office door open. I do think that is a part I will like about here, I can open my office door when it's nice outside for fresh air. That will help me a ton. I need to work tomorrow but none of the guys want to, I'm not coming up here Friday nor am I making up my day later, they can just eat that one and pay me, I tried. Got a bit more stuff put away in here, waiting on a book case from old office and for him to buy me 3 lateral files I need so I'll have a place for files and somewhere to sit my new printer. Ron took my fake tree home so I'll need to find another one. He was supposed to wait till I got a new one, we'll see what I can come up with. The corner over there looks nekkid without something. I have a bazillion plants at home I guess I can just bring one up here.

Good afternoon, cool and gloomy here today, at the office - it's sporadically quiet. Have one small job approved already, I can either start another, or try to get more unpacking done in here. Thinking I might do that. Sitting in the middle of boxes is getting on my nerves.

Good afternoon, cooler today than yesterday but the sun is fully out and it's 73 on my back patio so that's where I've stayed. We got out a bit yesterday to just get out of the house, hit a junk store or two , came up empty and picked up a drink and cupcake and sat at one of the nearby local lakes for some snack and peace and quiet. After, we met my boxing team bunch at Golden Corral for dinner and fellowship, came home and just chilled. Back to work tomorrow to see what I can get done. I have a couple of jobs to start on, but want to make more progress getting situated in my new space.

Daaannnggg, 8 large for at atty? That would be what I'd be fighting, not the neighbors. Sheeeeiiitt. As far as a fence in the ground, dogs dig and chew so they may dig under or they might do that plus chew through your boards. I'm with Marcus on this one I think. Handle it myself and pay a fine and it's over.
Sunny here, still trying to get unpacked in new office plus work. I have a ton to do both in work and getting sorted out in here. Office is larger but I miss the access and privacy of an entire office SUITE to my self plus the large windows I can look out when I need a break.

overcast here and cool but not too bad. Was supposed to be sunny. Hating the new office, can't put shit away till they get my counter put together as that is my storage so I'm in the middle of boxes. They're on deadlines for wraps, so too busy to fix my counter. I may just bring my drill, saw and whatnot up here and do it myself Friday or Monday. Plus, the guys next door in the "shop" area like too work with music and I don't blame them, however - I'm in an office doing design work and need peace and quiet to concentrate. No insulation between us. Owner will try to remedy it but for now they've agreed to turn the volume down to a sort of tolerable level. I can't help my disability either so we need a compromise. This is why I didn't want to be over here. I want to present a profession environment and they absolutely do not.
I won't be here tomorrow so they can have at it, I have to take Arron for his first colonoscopy, woo hoo, which means I will be here Friday though.

Good evening, cold here too but warmer than the last couple days, plus the sun was out. Back porch felt good with the plants. Nothing got done here this weekend, I had the flu or something. no sleep, coughing up crap but not stuffed up anywhere, fever, chills, moderate body aches. Started feeling bad Wednesday, skipped boxing Thursday and downhill from there. Better today but not enough to want to go anywhere but the rest of my office junk is supposed to move tomorrow so I reckon I need to be there to sort all that crap out.

Tommy if you ever decide to move, add me to your family roster and will me your place. You live where I'd love to live. I'll take over the nursery too, matter of fact, I'd probably be in there with all the plants and never leave.
goomy again today although it was supposed to be sunny. It is warmer so I'll take that as a win. Sun forecasted for tomorrow also, fingers crossed as I'm off and plan to just sit by the local lake here and soak up sun and nothing else.
Some of my office has been moved, but not all and I am sick today so just as soon they leave me alone and not disturb me.

sun is out here too, still cool but it feels pretty nice outside. Had a few things to do today and the guys came and got a few things moved to the new office over there. Of course they only made one trip, but they did clear out all the cabinets in the middle room back here so now Laci can clean in there and move her stuff around some more. No telling when they will get my desk and my stuff. I'd just soon stay here anyway.

Good morning, dreary again today although the sun did make a brief appearance around 4 yesterday. Fingers crossed for the rest of the week. Happy belated birthday, Gris. Meant to say that yesterday and went right past it. Hope you had a good day. Bummer about medical stuff all day, that makes for a not happy day, supposed to DNBFS. Just got to the office, on edge about what I might encounter today after the weekend shenanigans online. Prayers things turn around and go well up here.

Good afternoon, I think the sun is finally coming out. We had "generally sunny with a few passing clouds" forecast for the entire weekend and it's been misty and gloomy and just miserable. That all lights up my depression like nobody's business, and on top of that, the dude I work for has pissed off some lady and she's been posting shit that's gone absolutely viral trying to ruin the business, over her son's "pappaw's truck". She's mad that she was quoted X for the wrap then the bill is a ton more. Well, that's because the "kid" she keeps referring to - who is a 30 year old full grown man - authorized a bunch of restorative work to be done on it including parts. Nobody in their right mind would think that if you add on a bunch of labor and parts, that the price would be the same, except I guess her. And now our social pages are bombarded, and the tint store that his daughter now outright owns is too and it's being taken out on her as well. Rednecks here feel that "family" means you're all alike and if you associate you're all bad. Nothing can be farther from the truth so lawyers have been called and I've tried to avoid it. None of it thankfully had anything to do with me.Except - my phone has been blowing up with page notifications and friends calling me asking about it which all has ruined my entire weekend. I dread going in there tomorrow. Folks calling to shut down a business, over stuff that isn't true, and the fact they have zero dealings with said business, don't realize the effect it can have. It also affects my living and I'm innocent here. It boils down to the grown "kid" using momma's money and lying to her best I can get. Oh well. It has kept me to myself all weekend. I just got home from the deer processor picking up 30 pounds of snack sticks with cheese. One of Arron's coworkers got a small doe a week back and gave it to us, so I cut up the loin straps here then sent the rest there. He wanted allllll of it in snack sticks, apparently he likes the last ones I got. I don't think he realizes how many of those things he gets to eat now, my new little deep freezer is full. I'll grab some to pass out to some friends. About to try to get on top of my laundry and swap out the bedding. I bought a new to me comforter set at the junk store over the weekend, cheap as all get out and it's a really nice one so I spent over an hour at the laundromat around the corner last night washing it. I used the big dryer and this thing still wasn't dry all the way. I've never in my life had one this heavy and thick. I would not fit in my washer and most do, and I used their giant washer last night and didn't have any room to spare. Should be warm with our other cold front headed in this weekend.

good afternoon, very cold here, dreary and was sleeting earlier. Sick of this sh*t. I seem to be caught up at work, so kinda cruising this afternoon. Yesterday was nuts. Boxing was nuts last night too, we ended up with 7 in the ring and took turns "curling" the wrecking ball bag 10 times each twice, then three rounds of slamming a 25lb med ball at one another, whoever dropped it was out. I caught one wrong and ended up pulling some tiny muscle in the bottom center of my booty cheek, some muscle I didn't even now I had therefore am walking a bit funny today. Bending hurts cause of it. I hope it's gone tomorrow I got crap to do

Good morning Gris. Still cold and dreary here, hoping for sun and warmer soon. My trailer guy approved yesterday, I still have some technical adjustments to make and now he wants it ready to pick up Tuesday. Perhaps he should have not nitpicked so much and then went out of town all last week. I could have had this done a long time ago and it been ready to pick up. I can't stand people. That started my day off wrong. Have an appointment at 2 so that will give me a break away from here for a bit at least.
