Good Morning CGs!
So last night after work and workout the wifey said she had to go to the store to return a couple things. So we piled in the suv and went to the store. It was almost 7 pm when we were done and still hadn't eaten, so decided to go to Chili's in the shopping center parking lot. They weren't that busy, and we sat down and got our drinks. Took another 10 minutes to order our food, our waitress was kinda flakey. Appetizer came out, that was fine. But out entree (fajitas for two) took an additional 30 minutes after the appetizer. What? That's crazy. Try doing that with a 1 1/2 year old. I mean, she's good up to a point, but make a baby sit at a table for more than an hour and it's not pretty. We got there at 7 pm and seated and didn't get our actual meal until 7:50. I was kind of irritated. Food was pretty good, but service sucked. Won't be going back there any time soon. So how was everyone else's Saturday night? Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |

Do a customer survey at the website or make a comment. We had a dinner out too with a friends family. Chinese food. Had a big lazy Susan in the middle with the plates of food so could grab a little of this or a little of that. Food was all hot and it tasted just like American style Chinese food. You know the Chinese don't eat that stuff. Watch what they eat at the workers table if you're there when they are eating. Another eat fest tonight at the in-laws. I better wear some loose clothing. One thing about the summer is I eat a lot less. As winter progresses food events seem to dominate more of my life and as a result I gain about 15 lbs, then lose it through the summer. looks like I'm starting the swing a little early this year. Bon appetite.

hey, guys. I went to church, came home and the wife fixed some warm-up food. We are having the back yard sprinkler put in...we have had the front yard done since we built the house 24 years ago..it was finally time to get the back yard done. So the guy who is doing it had all the trenches dug when we got home. I went out to check things out and he had hit one of the existing lines (no biggy he is going to replace that section anyway). Today he'll be back to start laying in the lines. I'm having him put in a new main valve for the sprinkler...one that is electrically switched.
Matt, there are a few things that get my dander up....poor service at a restaurant is one of them. I have been known to really rip on management. Many times while we are out and the service is really slow or bad, the wife will say "It's all right", or she'll look at me and tell me to "calm down", so she can see in my eyes that I'm getting pissed. Nothing really planned for today. |

I am getting ready to board my 4pm flight out of London. They are 5 hours ahead of eastern time. Not looking forward to the 9 plus hour flight back, then 2 hour layover, before my 11pm arrival in Ne Pennsylvania.

Had a good time at Octoberfest last night.
Took the In-Laws, had Sparnfeckel (pig roast),Fire pit roasted Chicken, and Bratwurst dinners (shared amongst us), bought 4 Landejager sausages (will let them cure a few days), some struedel, drank copious amounts of Spaten Lager, a bottle of Riesling for the wife and MIL. I missed out on the Rollbraten (pork loin) sandwhiches, only cause I didn't have the room left for it. My oldest son and Daughter-in-law were there, as well as a bunch of their friends,and parents of their friends, who some of just so happened to attend HS with my wife. It was a good time to forget about all the pressures life has thrown us this past year. Today is football day (I'm gonna bust out the handicap helmet if the Pack loses today), then rest up for the start of the workweek starting at 10pm tonight (3rd shift) May be getting a call about a new job opportunity I interviewed for on the 22nd, more inline with my career than the current job is. HR person e-mailed asking for references Friday, and said she'd contact me early this week. |

Come to think of it, the roast duck did look a little large. Maybe it was a Muskovy from a local pond.

Jeez, I feel full and I haven't eaten anything yet!
Talking about putting in a sprinkler system bums me out - they'll be coming out to shut down our system for he winter already on 10/15 - yikes! We had it installed a few years ago, and it's my wife's favorite thing. She used to be our sprinkler system. I've had a slug of headaches the past few days, and was up in the middle of the night again. Spring and fall are always the worst when the weather changes. I'll be flipping back and forth between the Vikings and Twins games today. The Twinkies are tying to keep it interesting down to the wire. I thought the White Sox were gonna give us some help last night, but Detroit came back and put the wood to 'em. Enjoy your Sunday, all! |

Hi Guys,
Going to scout some homes in the downtown Annapolis area today. Tough to meet my criteria. Waterfront, walking distance to Ego Alley and a 2-car garage. Probably in the Eastport or Spa Creek neighborhoods for any of you familiar with Maryland's capital city. I'm sure "the" house will end up in the $750k+ range. Wish me luck. Have a good one. Mark |

Speakin' of the twinks, I read there could be a possible collision of MNF and a playoff game for baseball if needed next week. Who gets the boot from the dome? I doubt of the Vikes would agree to flipping stadiums with the Pack. Closed the pool up on Friday. Summer is done, but 80 degrees here today. |

There won't be any flipping sites with the Pack - so far I've heard that they could play early Monday morning or delay until Tuesday. But they've got plenty of work to do before any of that becomes an issue ;-) |
