I didn't read the news article, but I'm suspecting the abnormally high winds were to blame. My condolences to all involved... Some areas don't look very different from the way they used to, in spite of my grinding/buffing. My prayers go to the families involved--

Uuuhhh! OK. You're a cab!
Sorry, couldn't resist!
Tomorrow we'll assemble #2 and modify the carrier to handle 6 ft modules instead of 4 footers.!!!
Yes, I like my MagicJack too. On the basic plan you can call and get calls from anyone in the US and Canada absolutely free. If you know someone in another part of the world (Japan, Brazil, etc) who is using a MagicJack you make calls to them or they to you absolutely free also. Then there's all the freebies that come with the plan, things other providers charge for. What I like best is that it only costs $19.95 a YEAR. Now that's service I can afford.
Evening, Everyone.
Took a while to find the new place but the decor looks good...as long as Chris doesn't run them off.
Chris, 25% of all state workers are being laid off here. No negotiating, just gone based on seniority. The Alabama Constitution doesn't allow the state to go into debt so they are making cuts because sales tax and property tax collections are way down. I hope you guys can work out a way for everyone to still have some money coming in but I wish I could say thing are going to get better soon without lying.
I don't see a light either at the end of this tunnel too! All we can do is hope for change
Evening Gang!
Flo, howabout a rootbeer float and a soft pretzel dear! I was watching CNN today and saw the coverage on the plane crash. Like Ken, it makes me nervous sometimes as my residence is about 3 miles from the outer approach markers for BWI. Sometimes when they fly over I can almost count the windows in the sides of the plane. Some evenings its an endless precession of headlights coming at us from the horizon, one after another. It really makes you think when you hear of a tragedy like the one in New York today. Oddly enough, I'm also along the flight line from D.C. to Camp David. You never know who mights drop into the back 40 someday!
I did get one of the new module frames screwed together today. My 13 year old son come down for the weekend, and when I asked if he wanted to drill all the holes in the 20 aluminum brackets I needed he smiled and said "Power tools? Cool!" 80 holes later he wanted to know whats next! I may let him take the electric sander to them tomorrow to clean up the glue that oozed out of the joints and de-splinter them a little before paint. Gotta love Daddy's lil helper!
Chris: Keep your chin up,roll with the punches, and ride the wave as long as you can. Money, as tight as it is for my profession, has had me sidelined since the day after Christmas. And the job market is no market at all. Dealerships are going wild replacing experienced personel with youngsters who will work for half of what the true professionals make. My boss got the same treatment a month after me. Between the 2 of us, we had 60 years of front line experience. So now for the 1st time in 28 years, I'm walking away from the auto industry and looking for a whole new occupation. Something that isn't as dependent on the economy. What yet? I havn't decided fully, but I have more than a few irons in the fire. Who knows, maybe I'll try Real Estate
He's my mower man when we do lawn's. the kid has a gift when it comes to things with a steering wheel. I take him to work with me when the bosses are gone for the day and try him out on some of the bigger stuff He drives it like he was born on it! He can mow grass better than most adults i've seen. This year he get to know the weed eater and edger let dad mow some Most high schools in my area took out their shop classes! only one magna High school in my county has shop still. but you have to apply for it like a job and pray to get in! It's possible!!!!!!!!!. I'm glad my neice/nephew still have the options left! The local hydro guys came by and put a new one in--but until the new one was put in we had to deal with this pole being supported by two 2X4's spiked to what remained of the thing!
