Good Morning CGs!

Well, a bright and sunny day to kick things off. Temps should be warm but not terribly uncomfortable today. The radio this morning was already talking about traffic being slowed down due to sun blindness. I hate driving when it's like that. Oh well.

Wifey took Sam to the doctor yesterday. She ended up having a white spot on her tongue and some weird rash on her chest. Still coughing. I think my wife usually overreacts on most of these things, but I agreed with her this time. Doctor said it's just an unknown thing, monitor it in case it gets worse. Well, she was still coughing a lot last night buy slept, so we'll keep an eye on it.

Sold some car parts yesterday so I'm happy about that.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Busy day planned for me.
I plan to install the living room carpet in a few minutes, and head out to Beaver Springs Dragway latter this afternoon. Bob Motz will run his 6 second jet engined, full size rig (weather permitting).
After wrenching on the vette yesterday I have realized that I am not the same guy I was 20 years ago. Man, am I sore.
Happy friday!

I've been really busy for the past week getting pulled in several different directions. Family somehow can find ways to occupy oodles of time and energy. It's not like I could say no. After this week I should be good to go for a while except for the never ending requests from the other member of this household. Earlier this year we weathered the negative effects of a harsh South Florida winter and suffered some plant loss at the nursery. Just about got straightened out from that and now we have been notified by the state agricultural inspectors thet the nursery had some trees infected with citrus canker. Infected tress and sometimes your entire citrus inventory must be destroyed. If it ain't one thing it's another. Citrus was one of our biggest sellers. The trees are quarantined for at least a month. My wife has been taking more frequent breaks from the business. She leans more and more towards semi retirement every day. That means she is working about 48 hours a week. I'm sure she'll keep her hands in the business for a few more years but I can see it is starting to work on her. She's the one getting the travel bug. Me? I just like being left alone. (but that ain't gonna happen)

Gorgeous day on tap here - I took the day off. Got a head start on the yardwork, so it could be smooth sailing. I fully expect that to change as my wife puts pencil to the honey-do list.

Your missus is probably jealous of all your free time, Tommy :-P

Hope Sam is feeling better soon, Matt!

Enjoy your long weekend, gurus, and send some good thoughts to those who it's in honor of.

Nice day over here (24c), hints of some showers to come over the weekend.

My missus is on holiday next week... I ain't sure if I should be happy or worried.

Best wishes to all for your memorial weekend.

State inspectors are crawling all over the nursery. Let's see how much this will end up costing. We always fix whatever they want done quickly. It's wise to keep the inspectors happy.

I'll be putting up the Stars & Stripes this morning to display all weekend. That got me thinking about all the men and women who protect our country and way of life. Thank a soldier today if you see one.

Morning guys, it's been a pretty long morning. A little paper work, then putting a coat of polyurethane on the benchtops. The weather is nearly hot and the wind is supposed to blow this afternoon. As soon as I check out I can leave, I'll hook up a trailer and head over to start packing up the daughter/grandsons to move her/them over with us. She is to be out of the house by Monday.

I need to make sure that we get our flag out too. Tommy, you are right keeping those inspectors happy goes a long ways. Matt, hopefully the little one will start feeling better soon.

Talk to you guys later.

Greetings, Gurus!

I'll be baking some more cookies today - Double Chocolate Chip, amongst updating some work documents. It should work out well cuz the timer on the cookies will force me to take some breaks and stand up and stretch.

Sigvald, a furniture dealer from northern Minnesota, decided to expand the line of furniture in his store, so he decided to go to Paris to see what he could find.

After arriving in Paris, he visited with some manufacturers and selected a line that he thought would sell well back home. To celebrate the new acquisition, he decided to visit a small bistro and have a glass of wine. As he sat enjoying his wine, he noticed that the small place was quite crowded, and that the other chair at his table was the only vacant seat in the house.

Before long, a very beautiful young Parisian girl came to his table; asked him something in French (which Sigvald couldn't understand); so he motioned to the vacant chair and invited her to sit down. He tried to speak to her in English, but she did not speak his language. After a couple of minutes of trying to communicate with her, he took a napkin and drew a picture of a wine glass and showed it to her. She nodded, so he ordered a glass of wine for her.

After sitting together at the table for a while, he took another napkin, and drew a picture of a plate with food on it, and she nodded. They left the bistro and found a quiet cafe that featured a small group playing romantic music. They ordered dinner.... after which he took another napkin and drew a picture of a couple dancing. She nodded, and they got up to dance. They danced until the cafe closed and the band was packing up.

Back at their table, the young lady took a napkin and drew a picture of a four-poster bed. To this day, Sigvald has no idea how she figured out he was in the furniture business.
