What a difference a day makes!
We got a call Friday night from Bill and Susan asking if we wanted to come to their riverhouse for the 4th.
We went and had a great time, great company, great food and plenty of laughs.
Here are a few fuzzy pics to give you a taste.
I hope everyone had a great day!

What an F-ing week.....
This week has not been fun.
I have known for a while that things where I work were not going well but last week everyone just threw up their hands and said "We give up".
The real problem is not that I don't have a job right this second, but that being used to having a place to go every morning, I don't know what to do with myself. How do you sit at home and look like you are busy enough. At times you just leave so the wife doesn't feel like she has to dust around you.
The good news is that there is a really good chance that I will be hired to finish the job that I was on. The owner and the firm that is in charge of the inspecting of the job want me to finish it. For that I am grateful but these things take a long time to do went you are sitting on your plump backside at home.
I have learned something this week, you really need to be someone with a title. Look at the job openings that are around, Needed Biofeedback Control Auto Industrial Engineer, I don't even know what the hell that is. I know how to do the dirty, unsexy, hot, backbreaking crap that the BCAI Engineer needs done before he gets there. Apparently there are too many of us, or anybody can do that.
So here is the plan, "Grandson, you need a title. "But what will I do Big Wayne?" "It doesn't matter son, get a title to put on the resume. You will be fine."
O.K., all kidding aside, I have always said that a person that wants to work and can work, will not be out of work for long. I still believe that. We will put it to the test and find out. I have sent out many resumes and told everyone that the territory from San Antonio to Richmond is open to me.
All of this and the fact that Obama is in charge gives me great hope. Bye, I have to go take my medication.

The New Driving Test...
Qustion 1: There exist multiple lanes on interstate roadways. The far left lane is for...
a) the use of motorist that have a long way to go. No special purpose or need for getting there just a long way to go.
b) anyone to use so that they can get a better view of the grass on the left side of the road. People with handicap plates are encouraged to use the far left lane.
c) people who have a purpose in their driving. They have somewhere to be and a time to be there. They drive the same on or off of their phone. Their car is capable of going fast and they are capable of controlling it. These people check their rear view mirror to see if some other person of their species is attempting to use the left lane so they can move over and allow passage.
The answer is (c).
If you did not get the correct answer please feel free to attempt to get the right answer in your retest, that will be in 10 years, until then please ride a bike.

The Battle of Richmond, Day 2
Today started with blueberry pancakes, yeah I should have known that it was a setup.
I was put on the sanding detail. Pretty easy until you understand that the sanding detail is where the "short bus people" are put. I did this until I felt that I was ahead of the painting crew enough to not be missed.
Joey was trying out his new yard equipment and I thought that I would help. He looked to be about finished and I thought I could bask in his glory by helping. Well that all changed when the Sargent-Major Audra came through and declared that the job was no where near finished. An hour or so later we passed inspection.
During this work we had at least on neighbor come by and in the course of conversation mention her, "Carbon Footprint".
Libba had declared war on all things growing in the yard so we had to clear all of that up. By this time Joey and I are whacking down anything that gets in our way, even if it is not officially on their property.
At the end of the day we had most things painted and an admirable pile of limbs and junk piled up. One follower of Obama came by and asked if we wanted to hire him to help. The response was short, "Where the hell were you at 8 AM?"
We are now finished, most of us cleaned up, trying to out wait each other on who is going to make supper.
Maybe my camera has enough battery for video.
