Good morning!!!!

[300UGUY]

Did a little work in the yard, just picking up junk. I have to take it easy until my ankle heals up. I need to keep it elevated as much as I can. But that is very boring... Beautiful day here, hope you guys had a good one!!!

HOpe the Newport job comes through for you Roy, if it is the one I think I know you would like working there.

Well, it didn't...bummer, but not the end of the world and I did do two phone interviews during this week.
Actually, the only position that really disappointed me was one that I had applied for months ago (before Vermont Castings). A lengthy phone interview, two on-site interviews and I was (per the HR manager) the leading candidate. Then the job was cancelled. Now, that really sucked.
We were going to move to New England (Vermont or New Hampshire)...that decision had been made mid-2012, with the expectation that the move would be Spring, 2013. Just happened that Vermont Castings called...and they did pay for the relocation, so no complaints there. Although we do love this place, in retrospect, I wish we had stuck with renting for a while. Job search would have been more flexible. However, that's a moot point and we're not going to move. Great house, great property and great location. Also, it's probably one of the few properties that was purchased (in the area) this year.
And we did plan on all costs being covered by our retirement funds and some cash (not much) I had stashed. So, even if I do fully retire (and I am kicking that around), we'd be OK...life might get somewhat simpler...but barring a catastrophe, we'd be ok.

I worked half a day (7.5 hours) today, then came home, changed clothes and got on the JD, and did some brush hogging! They are predicted a good chance of rain beginning tomorrow! I have my fingers crossed, but if it is not raining early, I'll get out and get more mowing done. That way, when the rain does happen, I can go run in it! We haven't seen much rain the past few years, and I might have forgotten what it feels like to play in it! I hope that I get the chance to remind myself.

Y'all have a good weekend!

Of course!

I posted pics here the last time I ran naked through the rain. So many want to complain of my antics that I'll post them elsewhere, this time! :confused3:

Well, wife suggested this might be a good day for me to run a couple of errands in town being as the repaving work is done (they ran out of money a few hundred feet short) and she would stay home with the dogs.
Refilled 4 5ers of diesel, 3 gasoline.
HomeDepot run to get my gutter stuff for the tractor shed extension.
Don't like to get fuel or stuff in the back of truck with the dogs.

I skipped out of work a couple hours early and grabbed my 2 big girls and headed off to opening day of the Virginia State Fair... I got us 3 unlimited ride wristbands, and off we went to the carny rides!

And man did we ride!!! Almost every single ride, some of them more than once.

I've been spun, flipped, centrifuged, etc. I've been dizzy enough tonight to need to think about it a little bit.
We ate funnel cake (they'd never had it), and drank expensive lemonade.
We laughed, we joked, we teased each other, we BS'd.
We had a cute color charactiture done (I look very silly in it, they look gorgeous) and rode some more rides.

We finished up at a truck stop subway/dairy queen with huge subs and choco-covered ice cream cones.

My head feels like I've been on a bender and I'm just recovering from the hangover...

But it was amazing and wonderful...

They are simply the best girls in the universe. We had F U N. It was a great Friday night.
