Morning guys....cold again this morning, 11*. Should be another interesting day at school. Got my new Core shifter yesterday. Looks like taking the console out is the tough part...we'll see.

Busy week tonight GS #3 has his Christmas music concert, Meeting tomorrow night, GS#2 b-ball Thursday, GS#1 b-ball away Friday and home Saturday (I work that game), Sunday our mens group makes Beirrocks as a fund raiser. Like I said, busy week.

Been feelin a little under the weather the past two days. I hardly see anybody and still manage to get messed up. Maybe it's the allergies again. Hard to tell the difference. The halls decked. Time to shift into the next projects. Today I think I'll just make the list.

Hidey-ho! Another day that will be half chewed-up by meetings. Oh joy! I should have Tom fax me one of those beirrocks, they sound good. I keep forgetting I have a pasty in the freezer that I picked up at the store a while back.

Cold/flu mojo to yawlz!

Have a good day!
