Both should move up and down, quietly and reasonably fast.

Good morning CGs!

Ahhh what a lovely morning. Actually not too hot here. Slept with the windows open last night as opposed to A/C. Should be nice today and might go for a dip in the pool this afternoon (since I actually vacuumed it yesterday).

Got a phone call from an old friend this morning whom I haven't talked to in a while. Gave me the whole update on the family and work, etc. Funny how long you can go without talking to someone when your own life gets hectic. I was glad he called. Nice to talk to people again.

Back to work for me tonight. I've got a few errands to do today. Gonna try to tinker with the car. When I drove it yesterday, it was idling funny...wondering if my IAC is bad? I dunno. I'll have to play with it later.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Good Morning Gurus!

Another busy day here. Hot again...

I had to cut my walk short by about half a mile this morning, coz my damn pants kept falling down... So while I am disappointed about not getting the full walk in, I suppose that is a good sign.

I guess I'll wear a belt, or find some sweat shorts from now on.


Have a super day, everyone!

What are you wearing to walk in? Khakis and a pair of penny loafers? You are old. Go to Kmart and buy some cheap sweatpants. I don't think anyone in the neighborhood wants to see your when you're walking around. You might even get arrested.

Matthew

ps - all kidding aside, congrats on that - sounds like you're making progress!

Well, our offices are packing up for a move on Friday, and so it's getting kinda echo-y in here. I guess it's a good thing I have an assortment of off-site meetings this week, otherwise there's not as much to do without stuff in your office!

Have a great day!

I drank an espresso at 3:30 yesterday and it took about 12 hours to get out of my system. Bleh.

Now I have to look alive for a meeting downtown. I'm thinking I'll need another espresso to pull it off.

And the cycle begins!

I put my first motorcycle up for sale. I'm sure when I'm 60 I'll wish I had it back and bitch that $2500 can barely get me a tank of gas. Its overpriced, but demand is crazy right now, so we'll see.

I just dozed off again between typing this and hitting submit.

I've been doing that for years when working on vehicles and didn't even know I was doing it. I'm probably an expert vituperist.....
