We are all waiting to hear how well this goes... We will pray for your recovery as well... God Bless, David

Drew, You are a prophet sir! I was unable to leave ST Louis.... I will be on a 0625 flight tomorrow... Hope it makes it back...

I'm at the airport trying to leave STL for now (I'll be back in a couple weeks I believe). I've had one flight cancelled aleady, and the next one is delayed, plus not a non-stop so... yuck. Best thing is I had a great phone call with MostlyGas last night (until my cell phone died) and he is a...

Drew, You humble and inspire me. I am a weak sniveling wimp next to you. I love you man... You and Nadene are in my prayers ALL THE TIME (Just so you know where I stand/kneel). Love you Bro... YBIC, David

Good thing I slept in extra yesterday, cause I did not get much today... Went to bed at midnight, up at 0345... I'm off to ST Louis for a couple days, wish me luck (I need it). Be well y'all. David

I went to bed early, at 10pm! I forced myself to sleep in until 5:15! I think I managed my first full night's sleep in forever, maybe it will help. My good friends, I hope all of you have a very Blessed day. Be well, David

I got a little over 2 hours on the tractor today. I groomed 1/2 mile of gravel with the RatchetRake, and I started on the massive bush hogging project where everything has been totally let go... I got a trail cut in the 6-7' tall weeds back to the forest and trails, and I started clearing the...

We did. Thank you! Be well, David

Irv, I too am sorry for your loss. Bubba sounds like he was a darn good dog. God Bless. David

Supposed to be a lovely day today. I'm off shortly to go pick-up my youngest for our play date today instead of tomorrow so she can go to a picnic/event with her sisters. I know we will swim today, and we will eat 3 meals. that is all I know so far... Should be a good day. Be well & God Bless...

Slept in until 0540. Off to work soon, mild sunny weather sure has been nice yesterday and supposed to stay for a couple more days. Be well all, David

Reminds me of something my Grammy used to say to me and my 2 brothers... "One boy=one brain, two boys=1/2 a brain, Three Boys=no brains at all! :D Love ya Randy, David

Seems the double post bug is back in full swing again... Hmmm... David

Sorry I missed yesterday. It was pretty much my typical stuff... Should be a beautiful day today. I might ride my Harley around town... May God richly Bless all-o-y'all today and every day. David

On the AC capacitor issue. If you can work on your own tractor. If you can replace an electrical wall socket or light switch. If you have the sense to turn off the electric to the unit before working on it. Then it is as easy as pie and you should stock a handful of caps. If not, then not...

Yesterday was GREAT! I got some SEAT TIME!!!! (see the seat time thread). I moved around the "base layer" bales from where I was storing hay for the horses in order to make more room for my tractor attachments. I dropped the stump grinder on a pallett, and the bucket, tooth bar, and ratchet...

I went to a BBQ with acouple of buddies at my first "home away from home"... It was nice. Today I need to move my Harley's to my new residence, and I need to move my truck to a friend's (plus it needs safety inspection). I then MAYBE will get a short bit of seat time moving scrap hay bales out...

Got in late last night from ST Louis. Went to bed after midnight. Woke up at 0450 and 0520. Went back to sleep got up at 0610 and now I'm behind schedule! I did manage to work out... Gotta run! No idea what the weather is, but it will be cooler than STL was... Be well & God Bless! David

Up at 0430 local (same as 0530 at home). ST Louis certainly has HUMIDITY and HEAT. I can vouch for that these last couple days. Home late tonight. Be well all, David

I was tired last night... slept in until 5:45... My right shoulder is sore today, I wonder why??? I am very happy the girls and I had such a good time, but I am confused as to why I'm still living in a buddy's basement... There is something more going on that I am not seeing. But as my...

Thanks to all of you for all of the support. Be well & God Bless. David

I shot my 12 gauge 101 times this morning at Old Forge sporting Clays in Providence Forge, VA OLD FORGE SPORTING CLAYS That was AWESOME! I've never done this, it was much harder than I expected (I did not shoot well). But it was awesome. Had lunch at a rocking biker bar with my good friend...

I'm headed to Richmond to go do a round of shooting clays and have lunch with an old friend I used to work with. After that I'll be doing something I'm sure and trying to take my teen daughters shoe shopping later. I was going to try to get out to the ranch and service the tractor or just get...

Sorry I missed yesterday. Happy Birthday Bill! FG Nailed it and said it better than I. 300 - Sorry about your buddy Bubba, you are both in my prayers. Drew & Ron make me want to go camping... I gotta go get the donuts for the team meeting, so I'm off to work early... Be well & God Bless...

Thanks Guys. I'm trying not to bring my situation up very often, for a wide variety of reasons, but... Having a tough time again lately... Y'all are a great bunch of Guys (and Gal) and I really appreciate the support and the faith you show in me. God Bless each and all of you. David

I managed to go to bed slightly earlier and I forced myself to go back to sleep and doze (I'm counting that as sleeping in). 5 months ago today I agreed to a "Temporary Separation"... I had no idea it would be this long, nor this painful... I am struggling to find my "mojo" and be successful...

Welcome Aboard Scooter! Feel free to jump in here, all are welcome. Be well & God Bless. David

Drew, Have an amazing time. God Bless you both. David

I was up at 0540... Really I was... I wanted to go back to sleep but could not. Less rain today, more humid and hotter. Working on getting back over 90 and really humid like it is supposed to be... Be well all, David

Thou canst not pick up what thou hast lost long, long ago... You ain't seen them marbles in long, long time... David

NOT ME!!!!!! :D No Way I would do dat! David

So says the ORIGINAL "Post *****" whom all others are mere shadows of... Great GooglyMoogly... David

Buppies, As a former active duty sailor... There is something archtypal in standing chest deep in the swells and getting knocked about by the waves... Once the path forward becomes clear, I can see a week or so in similar circumstances will be required... Maybe in Mazatlan??? Hmmm... Be...

Up at 0530. It was soaking wet yesterday, should start drying out and acting like August after today. My youngest insisted on trying the pool out when it stopped raining for a few, but it was too cold (and very, very full). Back to work today! That couple days at OBX was quite a blessing... I...

Jamie & Sam you are both in my Prayers. Be well & God Bless everyone. David

Happy Sunday! Raining hard here. Hope it clears because today I have my youngest and I need something fun we can do together. I'm hoping for time in the pool this afternoon. it is a weird wet and cool August lately. I was also planning to go visit our former horses today, but if it is just a...

I've been up since 0530. 70% chance of rain here in Corolla NC so we will leave soon. :( But it has been nice to take a couple days off with good friends. reduced my stress and anxiety levels a little, and relaxed a bit. I will find a way to do this again soon... Be well & God Bless you all...

FG19, We ALL think you are a darlin... Drew is just cuter that the rest-of-us... David

OBX has been great even though the sun never shined today. Tomorrow if no sun we leave early for home. If sun we will check out of the house and go to beach... Then go home. Great people these host of mine right now. I thank God for the people he puts in my path, that includes all o-y'all...

I'm up and outta here! I'm off to a couple days in the Outer Banks or as we say here OBX... Corolla to be specific! woohoo! Be well and God Bless! David

I'm up and outta here! I'm off to a couple days in the Outer Banks or as we say here OBX... Corolla to be specific! woohoo! Be well and God Bless! David

Up just before 5... Rough day yesterday. (Heck, it's been a rough week, rough month since my anniversary on the 1st...) I was offered to come visit my hosts at the house they rented in OBX, and I really want to go, but I'm afraid work is not going as well as I'd like due to the distractions due...

Glad you are well sir. Safe travels home. I'm working on the "positive"... David

How did it go? David

FRANK! Great to see you! Seeing you makes it better than typical already my friend. Otherwise, my situation remains pretty crappy, but something will break free sooner or later. It is good to see you here on TBN again sir, I hope all is well with you & yours. David

Up before 0500 and couldn't go back to sleep so I'd best start my day. Nothing special, just a typical work day. Be well all, David

Dude! You are in my prayers sir! David

MAD Skills... just W O W... David

Up about 6 because I stayed up too late lat night... I did my HARD workout today and man did in kick my can... RipTides, GOOD GRIEF! Glad you are OK (really glad). I will probably get caught in the remaining backup since your accident of course... I did get some pix of littlest one on the...

Morning all! Yesterday I picked up a free metal swingset from another homeschool family and hauled it out ot my place. A buddy and I put it up and I hope the kids like it, especially the 4 year old. Took a lot longer to set up, level, dig in, etc than is did to take it down. Be well all! God...

Slept well last night. Up at 5:45. Most of the chaos in my life is unchanged of course. Participated in a great Bible study last night, found some support in unexpected places. Tomorrow I am picking up a free swing set (I need to take it apart and move it) and I will set it up again at my...

Morning all. I will only speak of my troubles in very general terms (at least I will attempt to do this). Stayed up WAY TOO LATE last night and slept in until 0630 for the first time in recent history. Be well all & God Bless. David

Drew, I forgive you & I still like you. :D :D :D David

I woke up earlier than I wished. Could not go back to sleep. Too many things on my mind... I've found a free swingset, pretty nice one too, and I'm going to recruit a buddy or two and take it apart on Saturday and haul it out to my ranch and set it up for the girls. Be well all. David

Drew, This is probably solid advice. David

I have the BEST lawyer according to the references I obtained from the Quantico Legal dept,,, She is $$$ but good I hear... David

I tried... She conducted an interrogation she asked me well over a dozen questions merely to end with her plan remains the same. She is too busy to go to work, she expects me to keep sponging off buddies and living in basements, and why in heck did I restrict funds into the joint checking and...

Big day tomorrow... Seems the soon-to-be-Ex has agreed to allow me ot sit down and listen to her list of demands... I am SOOOOO excited... I moved almost half my junk to the new basement this morning too. Seems I will take tomorrow off and finish the job (and listen to demands).

And we ALL KNOW Bill here is the expert on being a Lady... :D Bearded Lady is seems, but a Lady nontheless... David

I went to bed an hour earlier than I have been, hoping to actualy sleep in... No dice... I woke up an hour early and laid there trying to go back to sleep for 45 minutes... Have a great day all. Be well, God Bless. David

Morning all. Up at 0545. Gotta mow etc. and go prep my next "home in exile"... Then I'm gonna make dinner for my hosts adult daughter and her beau and maybe watch a movie. I'm also going to stop at the mall and buy a pair or two of dockers for work... That is my whole day.

DITTO!!! Happy Birthday you old F a r t! :D David

I am feeling pretty down today... I will spend part of the weekend prepping for moving next week to my next basement. I am taking over a buddies basement family room. I need to hang sheets over windows and build a makeshift closet rod in the furnace/equipment space. I am very blessed and...

Jim, That summarizes my perspective pretty well. I don't really see where I have a choice... Not when it comes to my daughters... David

She has my kids, my property, my tractor chainsaw and tools... I fear that you may be right, but I gotta fight for my kids at least... Be well, David

Drew, You are a good man and a great Husband... Good on you sir! God Bless, David

Not so much... I made the mistake of posting something on my wife's facebook. Something sweet, self deprecating, and true. She of course flew off the handle, deleted it, and yelled at me on email... :rolleyes: Great day in the neighborhood. David

Today is my 20th (and final???) Anniversary. Up North at work it is a 60% here it is 40%. Split the diff, call it 50%. Drew, have a FABULOUS day/weekend. Roy, I am saddened to hear you are out of work yet again. I hope this is very temporary... I will say as encouragement I am getting...

Got anymore vacation? I got a little house that needs a roof... :D I promise to help and feed you VERY well... :D :D :D David

My eyes just popped open at 0500, so I got up. Busy week, no air travel though. I'm off to the office shortly. Be well & God Bless all, David

I popped awake at 0520. Happy it is Sunday and I get my daughter for a play-date again. Be well all, David

Yes they are! David

God Bless you Drew, & Nadene, & the RV... There. That oughta do it... :D Be well, David PS - Thanks for the well wishes... I'm gonna need them.

Where's Drew? He still "test driving" that RV? :laughing: David

Up at 0544. Gotta help with yard work today & I'm making a massive taco bar feast for dinner tonight. My hosts are celebrating their 25th anniversary this weekend. Be well & God Bless, David

Time with other daughters is a stretch goal, but I NEED to change the messaging they are recieving... This is going to take some time to implement. I hope to have updates soon... I am just prepping for the next battle, the war is far from over. Be well & God Bless. David

Thank You RipTides... I tend to agree. I hope & pray it is peaceful... David

I overslept and hopped out of the rack at 0523, I needed to go get the donuts and be into the office early. I made it. I did manage to workout (I've only skipped 2 days since Father's Day, and my best yet is 91 push-ups in four 30 second sets). The NEW plan is in motion. I've got a...

Once again I agree with Drew. The world (and David) needs BOTH More Loving, and more seat time on a/(my) Tractor... plus maybe a couple more attachments... :D David

I was up at 0515 but HughesNet messed up my email and I spent hours getting it fixed. I did notice it was NICE outside this morning whe I let the dog out... God Bless, David

Up early, driving to the airport for a flight to ST Louis... Be well all, God Bless. David

Yesterday I fixed the LX266. The top of the pulley looked like it had gotten hot maybe, but it was learly cracked and 1/3 of it just popped off. There was grease inside, and thereis no zirk so I added a bit under the washer, but... it is not that tight either so I'm very puzzled. I started my...

Is this a paying gig for you? I suspect you are a nautural source for those balloonists... How many Balloons can you fill with Hot Air Bill? Heh, heh, heh... :D Love ya bro, I'm just teasing you (for the most part). David

thanks David. I think this guy may be your problem? John Deere 48C 54C Double Stack Pulley LX255 LX266 LX277 GT235 GX335 AM133924 Drew, I have the 42C, but don't show me that.. I paid $63+ at the JD Dealer last night already... Part is in my little red car now.... But I'm taking my truck...

Same here sir. I asked if she had crashed the mower... It stinks being in exile and not knowing what is going on. I cannot imagine how this happened. Just 13 months ago I had the deck off and got it welded, the pulley should be visible in this shot... I believe the mower is from 2003 or so...

Drew, Actually about 1/3 of the edge of the pully groove that holds the PTO belt just cracked and fell off. I have pix on my phone the wife sent me, but I will take real pix when I get there. Close as I get to seat time anymore... I need to send them away for a weekend so I can work on the...

Up and atem at 0525. I need to go fix the LX266 JD riding mower. Somehow the metal dual pulley that runs the blade and connects the PTO belt managed to get broke such the belt fell off... So I will spend half a day at Mossflower... Be well all, David

Forgot to log in this morning. I was up until 1am watching "The Hobbit." What a beautiful movie... So at 5:30 I wok up and went back to bed for another hour. Wife just alerted me that on the LX266 the pulley on the 42C deck (the one to power the mower blades) broke and the mower blades won't...

Gonna be HOT and HUMID again today. I'm going to go to work again. Thank God for work & AC. Be well, David

Sitting in a Hospital bed... Big Grizzly Adams graybearded with a sly goofy grin. Yup. Burned into my retinas...

I've seen pictures of Bill... His eyes must be broke, hers too... :D David

Bill, You give me hope. If a downright ugly old fart like you can find love, there must be hope for me and my fat almost 50 year old carcass that is about to get dumped onto the "Used Dad" lot (AKA the dating scene...)... Thanks for being my beacon of (tawdry) light... :D David

Another Hot day, could hit 100, and another early drive into work... Glad my little commuter car has AC... Be well all, David

It is going to be a HOT week with little or no rain this weeke it seems. I'm off to work early due to a VP leel meeting this morning... Be well all. David

Up at 0530. I love "Playdate Sunday" it is the best day of the week. Be well all, God Bless, David

Slept in until 0530, then I layed there like a slug trying to go back to sleep until 0600. No idea what the weather is doing. Have a good Saturday! Be Well & God Bless, David

Been awake since 2:45... I got up to go to the bathroom and I was awake... I heard some thunder and some rain against the outer basement door, so I assume it is raining. Looks like I'm going into work early today... Be well & God Bless, David

Thanks, I need it... I'm staying at my current location for a cople more weeks. Been here 2 months today. they are taking a couple trips and would like to have me house/pet sit. Not a problem I said! I'm really struggleing to see a path to a viable future though... Be well all, David

Randy, Can't do that yet, for a variety of reasons (most important one is cost) if I was not looking to have to cough up serious cash for a L a w y e r, that might be different. I am learning many valuable lessons living as a guest in someone else's house. And these are good christian friemds...

Up at 0530, must be my new natural clock time. Lookslike I'm moving to a new basement this weekend. this buddie won't let me bring my g u n s though. Hmmm. That is a minor complication, I need to keep them somewhere safe. Not really a guest room, it is a family room with a big TV, a fridge...

Dean, What a Blessing! Congratulations! :thumbsup: David

Only because he is on Vacation, but I beat ROY! Up at 0400, off to the office for all day training. No clue as too the weather, can't see out the basement windows... Larro, your family is in my prayers... Be well and God Bless all, David

Today looks to be another day like yesterday. Tomorrow I am in training all day, gotta leave early and stay late. Be well & God Bless. David

Mornin all, I slept in until 0538... Helps I did not hit the rack before 0030... Had a great day with my youngest yesterday, got a normal work week in front of me. Be well all. David

One of you (I think one of the Local VA guys) wanted to know about one or more of the Harley's I need to sell. If you are still interested, now is a good time to contact me... PM me and I'll offer you a deal... God Bless, David

Today I am helping a buddies son move out into his first real home as he is getting married in a couple weeks... Then I plan to shoot my new 9 and make sure it works, and then I have a homework assignment with my pastor I need to review. Somewhere in there I need to wash my Harley's, I got a...

I'm up, wish I could sleep in. Last night did not turn out as planned, neither did the big meeting with the wife... She heard me out, but was very terse and istant. I believe she will make a counter proposal that will create a huge disturbance in the force and the battle will begin... Such is...

Drew, If you have any hot pepper plants near sweet pepper plants, the pollen sets mixed, and you get hot peppers. They MUST be seperated by good distance. That is based on the warning I go on my serrano pepper seeds one time... I would probably LOVE them... David

Mornin all, I had issues sleeping. Got abig meeting this moning with the wife, Pastor is acting as ref. I'm going to make a few "long term" proposals to try to stay married. If those fail, I'm going to pitch mediation and not lawyers. I fear she has a lawyer already... I fear this is not...

Reading the last day's worth of posts here has been inspirational. I am humbled to hang out with all of you. Drew, I'm praying. Newbury, PTL! What a story! I get a play date with my youngest daughter today. I stuck my neck out and asked and she said yes. I am very certain we are headed to the...

Long, long day today... I just MIGHT make it "home" before midnight... Could not sleep. I emailed the wife yesterday and asked for a meeting to discuss our future. she has agreed to meet only if pastor or similar is there to mediate. I really do not want a divorce. I really would like to begin...

Sorry I missed y'all this morning... Pretty nice evening last night up at the rooftop bar on my hotel in ST Louis. Poured rain this morning & I spent all day inside one of those buildings with few windows, can't bring your phone in, etc. It was just sprinkling when I got out. Just looked...

Drew, All my prayers are for Nadene & you right now... God's tender healing mercies upon you & Nadene... David

I went to bed about an hour early last night so the old body clock got me up about an hour early... Sleeping seems to work fine, but leeping in not so much. I assume T-storms today, but I'm flying to St Louis this afternoon, so I assume T-storms there too... Had a good "Play Date" with my baby...

I cooked breakfast at the homeless shelter yesterday and it felt good to be helping. I went to the local Gun Show with a bunch of buddies and bought a new compact Taurus 9mm for concealed carry, an inside the waist holster for the back, 300 rds of 9mm, 500 rds of .223, and a couple "gasden"...

Bird, Way back in 1984 as a starving sailor my car broke down and I traded it on on a brand new Ford Escort... It was a good car at the time, and one of only 3 new cars I've ever bought. This one had 23,515 miles on it and I got a pretty good deal I believe, I talked him down $1,200, and I...

This is my 5,000th post. Just thought I'd share that sily tid-bit... God Bless all-o-y'all. I bought me a BRIGHT RED little Ford Focus today for my commuting. should AVERAGE 31 mpg... and it is cute to boot... Pix later, got dark... Be well all, David

Woke up at 5, got up at 5:15. I think it's gonna rain... I think I am buying a car today, a Ford Focus good gas mileage commuter (kinda cute too). I seem to be moving slowly today... Hmmm... Be well all, David

I can't see the missing piece... :D David

Slander and Libel... If you had any shame... You'd be ashamed of such whoppers! Why I oughta... :D David

Texas is DEFINATELY on my list... :thumbsup: David

Ya HEAR That boys! THAT Sounds like an INVITATION!!!!! YAHOOOOOOOOOO! :D David

FarmGirl, I agree, I too like to feel the rain. I actually love to listen to it, especially if I am going to sleep... PS - As I am soon to be single, I'd like to toss my hat into this fight as well. I am younger AND better looking that all of these old farts flirting with you, and sweeter...

I forgot, 60% chance of rain and T-Storms today. Trucking is what I'll be doing, not riding.... :D David

Morning all! Yesterday I rode my Harley into to the downtown area and to the mall area to do some banking, and in the process an HUGE T-Storm brewed up very quickly and caught me. I managed to finish my business at the last bank and scoot out to my scooter and I was able to head away from the...

I am considering it very strongly... Need to see what this morning's traffic is like... Be well, DBM

30% chance of T-storms starting at 4pm... Soooooo... Do I ride the Harley and make sure I leave early???? Hmmmmm..... Decisions... Be well all, David

Sodamo-David, Sounds AWESOME! Well done sir. Be well all, God Bless, David

Could not sleep... Went to bed after mid-night (my sister from Oregon called to chat)... Woke up at 0430... could not go back to sleep... I have suspicions that things are about to take a change for the worse... 20% chance of rain, high of 86. Gonna be nice it seems... Be well all, God...

0530 seems to be my NEW normal wakeup point... Yesterday the ride on my Harley was WONDERFUL... Today is mostly con-calls and administrivia. Such is life.... Be well all, David

David, Back in '89 I rode one of those Atlantis deals with my then girlfriend (now soon to be Ex-Wife it seems) so she could say she had been on a submarine also. I like the idea of using those batteries for "off grid"... How much were they? Very cool. Thanks for explaning. Be well, David

Yesterday was lovely. Not humid, not wet. I was stuck inside all day with administrivia... such is life. Maybe I can ride my Harley to work today? Be well and God Bless all, David

Seriously? Those gigantic ones on Submarines? or simply submersible batteries? Just curious... David

Wouldn't that be GREAT! :D David

Where is everyone? Up at 0530... I wanted to sleep in, did not get to bed until after midnight... :sigh: Such is life. Hi 81, 20% chance of rain. Might be a nice day. Be well & God Bless, David

So was the FRONT seat!!!! But I'm nat talking about that ANY MORE! :laughing: David

Drew, Take your time and thoroughly enjoy bringing your beloved home today. May God continue to Bless you, especially with healing for you and Nadene. Be well, David

Like Roy I got up at 0400 to check if I remembered to set coffee pot auto start... and to take a leak. Then I slept in until 0600 when I forced myself to get up... My first car was a 69 Bonneville with 428 & Quadrajet... that thing was a land yacht... Trunk was big enough to hold a...

I hope so... Everyone who knows me, knows that leading and stwearding my family. Being a Husband and Father. Was the most important thing in the world to me... This new reality is not easy, nor rewarding... Thanks for the support sir. Be well & God Bless. David I need to go exercise and get...

Up at 0530... Not sure what the weather will do today. Headed up North for at least part of my day... Be well all. David

I rewrote the above note for FaceBook. Here is what I posted there... Be well & God Bless. David

Drew, Glad to hear from you, you both are still on my prayer list... I got to pend the day with my Youngest again. She is so sweet... Poor girl though, she never wants to go back, and she tells me nobody at her house likes me at all... I'm going to attempt an overnighter next weekend... It...

I woke up at 0500 and said, "not today" and rolled over and slept until 0620!!!! Then I worked helping my host clean out the garage. we emptied 1/2, swept and killed spiders, etc. re organized the stuff, recycled some, tossed some, stacked the rest. It was a good day. then I cooked up some...

Up at 0500, could not sleep... Half a day of sales conference and then a 3+ hour drive home... Storm was no big deal here in Baltimore on the waterfront. Hope it was no big deal at home. Be well all. God Bless, David

Up at 0600, nice view of the harbor in Baltimore... Severe storms at home this afternoon have me slightly worried. two of my Harleys are outside inder trees, in the grass at the house I am living at, and my ranch where the girls live has a weak & leaky roof. I'm praying God does not add this...

Best news & best TBN post in a LOOOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG time! PTL! Thank You Lord for Blessing Drew, Nadene (and the rest of us too)! David

I am glad things are going well for you Bill... Maybe there is hope for me yet... Later, David

Yes ma'am... We will. David

Drew, I read this in my truck as I was driving home (at a stop light) and I cried too... I said a FERVENT prayer for peace and healing for both you and Nadene (and then I added my wife & kids to the list too). God Bless you and Nadene sir. Be well, David

Drew, Just prayed for both you and your wife sir. May God Bless you both with a full recovery. Amen. Be well, David

Do we know you? :P David

Don, I am 49 with a 4 year old (plus her older sisters) and what is looking like a "d i v o r c e" in my future... I suspect I will never get to retire... I got plenny-o bumps though! That is fer-sure! :D David

Up at 0500. I could hear the rain just a bit ago hammering on the basement door near my room... W E T is the order for the day/week I think. Long days today and tomorrow, then long days in Baltimore at fiscal year kickoff meetings... Is it Friday yet? Be well & God Bless. David

I did... She is so awesome... Maybe I'll post a couple pics later... After Church we had pizza for lunch, then we went to a park which is heavily wooded, played on the slides and swings, then we hiked in the woods, threw rocks and leaves into the stream from the bank and the middle of the...

Slept in until 0600. Not sure of the weather, Church and play date with my youngest is the order of the day. God Bless & Be well, David

I just watched Lincoln... Amazingly great movie... Wow. Goodnight. David

Me too... But I'm not holding my breath... but eventually things will get better, one way or another... I will, she is a darlin'... God Bless & Be well, David

Robert, I am sorry to hear you are having a less than stellar year also. But this is a very well said posting. I agree. I am trying to "Go Hard..." Be well & Go Hard also. God Bless, David

Don, Except for being able to spend Sunday afternoons with my Youngest, nothing has improved... My wife and I are only speaking via email and txt messages. no contact at all. My older daughters act very hostile towards me in public now. One was fiercely scowling at Church last week when my...

I had a boss like that one time... But I was self employed then... :D David

That's a whole lotta overtime girl! I hope you have an awesome day at home with your chores... David

Tried to sleep in, failed.. Woke up every 15 min from 0500 until 0630... NOT getting any seat time at the ranch, too wet (it poured all day yesterday) plus the wife is not leaving until noon... I will find something else to do, help my hosts with an event at their home instead. Tomorrow I...

Up at 0400, driving just after 5... I've got accoutn reviews in front of the new VP this morning... Gonna rain, and rain, and rain (heavy at times) until sometime tomorrow morning. I have permission to go out to the ranch and do some "work" but it might be too wet... Have to wait and see...

Randy, That is looking more and more like the plan... Sigh... Yes, it is not my choice... Nice deck sir! God Bless & Be well. David

I am at the airport headed back to DC, where it is very rainy next 2 days. STL was nice. But I could not sleep last night... finally just got up at like 3:45 local... It is not exciting to go home to my non-life... Sigh... Be well all, David

OUCH! Sam, Be careful sir! David

That STINKS! I was maybe going to get some seat time bush-hogging or something like that at my ranch (wife & kids will be in Richmond). I hope the storm misses my place. David

I dozed on the plane and had some good meetings in ST Louis... The weather is very nice here, not like mormal the locals tell me. I am in a Hotel INSIDE the Union Station building... Seems nice enough... Got to keep working on my account review slides... :yuck: Be well & God Bless... David

Gonna try!!!

Up at 0300, driving to airport by 0415... working on account reviews at airport... priceless... But went to bed at 11:45, so 3 hrs sleep is weighing heavy on me right now... Be well all. David.

I slept in until 0600, mostly due to I was working until 12:30am on my new forecast etc for fiscal year start June 1. I'm on a jet plane early tomorrow to ST Louis, back Thursday. I had a good afternoon with my 4 year old again yesterday, but it rained and thundered, so we ended up watching...

And I'd love to visit with you sir! Be well, David

Sam, I feel your loss sir. I hope you get to see him again someday... Be well & God Bless. David

Up at 0530... Gonna be a beautiful day! Won't be on here much today, not until after I drop her off with her mother. Got a busy week too... New fiscal year started, got new quota's, new re-org, etc... All Week I'll be prepping for major mgmt account reviews and I'm traveling to Saint Louis...

Thanks Guys. I had an awesome ride home to my buddies house, and they were just sitting down to watch Bullit (awesome movie). Now I'm gonna sleep and look forward to tomorrow Church and my Youngest Daughter for another play date... Be well & God Bless all! David

Forgot to post this morning... beautiful day. Slept in to 0645, helped cut some big branches from a large oak, then rode my Harley 100 miles to an awesome wedding reception... and I've got a 100 mile ride home still to come! Tomorrow I get my youngest again too! God Bless and be well! David

Up at 0530. 94 and humid today is the forecast. Have a good Friday all. Be well & God Bless. David

AMEN! David

Don, Training, Training, Training... SIPDE = Scan, Identify, Predict, Decide, Execute... I look for mirrors, I assume drivers NEVER see me. I drive AROUND the obstacles car drivers present. I was a Motorcycle Safety Foundation nationally reognized motorcycle safety instructor for over 8 years...

Sam, I am always careful on the bike... Looks like 20% chance of rain as I'm headed home, and I might need to work the phone on the commute home which will be long because I need to stay later, sooo looks like I'm drining the truck after all... At least I will have AC... Be well. David

Up at 0530, 0% chance of rain, hot and humid. Looks like I will ride a Harley today (Maybe). Be well all. David

I woke up at 0500 without the alarm, but wanted/planned to sleep in... Up at 0530 after couldn't sleep in.... Supposed to be 90+ and steamy next 2 days. Summer Sweat is here a few weeks early... David

YES Indeed she IS! David

I forgot to change the alarm and it went off at 4, I went back to sleep (mostly) until 0510. Chance of T-Storms and a very late appt with my therapist up near work means I will drive today (again). I am very concerned about work. the re-org is not doing me any favors. My new commission plan...

She will always be my baby girl... She was telling me herself that she is 4, gonna be 5 (not til feb.) and "That is a big age for a little girl"... Her sisters are beautiful, she will be too, but for now, she is my baby... But I treat her like a big girl, and I don't call her a baby or...

I had the most amazing day yesterday with my baby girl. I had her from the end of Sunday School at 10:30 until I dropped her off at home at 9:15 pm (yesterday). It made me VERY aware today of how terribly much I miss her and the rest of my family. But it was an awesome day... She got to see...

I was up at 0515. Saw the new Star Trek yesterday and enjoyed in greatly. Looks like maybe I will get to have the baby for the afternoon today!!!!!! Woo Hoo! Be well all, David

Don, We have just an agreement, and she has changed the rules more than once. She would never allow it, and if the police get involved it can affect my security clearances even if I do no wrong. All I can do is surrender and await God's Will in this... My wife is immovable... David
