Man, TX, I like your lifestyle! Dirty Santa parties, cigar parties, and lots of additional scotch and cigars . . . . Sounds like fun.

Company Christmas party today @ 3:00. For some reason, everyone decided to do it here in the conference room instead of at a restaurant.:confused:

There's booze and food, how bad can it be?

I sling-shotted a plow spring last night and somehow found it in a snowbank this morning. If I can get the end of it bent back over again it looks reuseable (I actually partially straightened it out while plowing the ice/freezing rain storm the end of last winter). They've got a Nor'easter forecast for Saturday night into Sunday with a good part of it being sleet and freezing rain. It would figure since the Pats play the Jets in Foxborough Sunday and in the slop everything goes out the window. I'm hoping that my 1/2 dozen plow customers can make do with an early morning plow out before I leave and a late evening plowing when I get home. I'll have to play it by ear, I might have to miss the one regular season game I've really been looking forward to since I don't have to drive. Gots my fingers crossed!

2, 3, 5-7 aren't too shabby! You're batting .714 :)

D'oh, the wife just called and the kids' Holiday concert was moved to 1:45 TODAY! Nothing like letting people know ahead of time. My wife just happened to see a mention of it on the school webpage and started calling all of the mom's of the kids in the classes who would have no idea otherwise. There are a few pissed off people!

Drive safely Swamp. I am looking forward to the annual Holiday office dinner party, my bosses treat us really well and this dinner is just part of it. It's alittle overwhelming what we receive.

Would my average move up a few points if I went and pulled the dash cluster out of the SD and worked on it at my desk? Seems as though everyone else is gone - only car in Mgmt Parking.:(

Swamp, were you able to make it to the concert and still get to the office party in time to eat up and get a good buzz on?

I have to tell you, you sound like a great dad. I think your kids are probably pretty fortunate.

Yes indeed! :D I was bad and snuck out as soon as my kids were done so I was back in the office with plenty of time to spare! I'm quite the multi-tasker.

Hey! The weekend is hours away...

How's the last-minute X-Mas shopping going?

As for me...Gift cards for everyone...

Too simple.

They come already "decorated."

They're not overy bulky.

You can hide them so no one has a clue where "their" present is.

And, if you choose right...they're already wrapped...

Done!

:cool:

Last night was the party at the bosses house...and of course hardly anyone has showed up this morning including the boss. Cheap Bstrd didn't have any Scotch.

Not just another fine Friday. This is THE fine Friday.

Dennis Hopper? :)


I've got to pick up pizza for my daughter's "Can't call it a party Party" at school. I'm going to run to Sears after work and pick up a few last minute Christmas thingies because we've got to get everything wrapped and the food for Christmas Eve prepped tomorrow.

Sunday we'll be tailgating at the Patriots-Dolphins game. I hope the weather holds off (early forecast was for heavy rain and wind, now chance of showers), I've got my sister and her BF (in from Chicago), my brother, father, son #1 and wife going up so we'll get nothing done then.

If I don't make it back on until Wednesday, Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy Kwanzaa and Festivus to all!
