I ferried someone to work after dropping off their 560SL to get the AC recharged this morning. Stuck some additional memory in this computer, and now trying to catch up with work stuff. My nephew will be graduating from HS tonight, so that will round out my hump day.

I hope everybody else's is good.

I'm trying to get over this head cold or whatever it is. I feel like my head is inside of a pillow this week.

I get to "run" the company lunch BBQ for Friday. Guess I should start thinking about a menu.

I'm making a lamp for my wife's cousin's wedding gift today. I'll have about 7 hours into it once it's complete.

Then the wife gets to take it on an airplane this weekend and go to the wedding while I stay home with the kids by myself. This will be the first time our kids won't be seeing mom when the wake up and go to bed. I hope things will go smoothly.


Have fun at home Mistress.

Sounds like you need bed rest Dee8go. I hope you feel better soon.

Good luck with the BBQ TX76513. Is it a special BBQ or just another Friday lunch? Do you have to go all out or just burgers and dogs?

Chad- I'm sure things will go smoothly with you and the little ones this weekend. Post a photo of the lamp if you can.
I'm going to the Air and Space museum today.

I WILL finish my veggie seed contracts for next year (on average about 19% above last year's cost) today. I hope. My father took off today to take his boat from Mystic to the CT River and up to our club (just south of Hartford) for our big shindig this weekend. It'd be an all day run so they have an overnight rendezvous with some other club members on their way in from various downriver locations. That said, while he's screwing around all day I've got to deal with his chit as well as my own and not sure how much I'll get done.

Of course, if I keep hanging around here it won't be very much.

Here's the finished lamp as requested. It's designed to match their home.

That is freakin' sweet Chad! It must be cool to have, like, a talent.

I going to have to contract you out for something.

Good luck, Chad. Your kids are young enough and should deal fine. Any time I hear the Mrs. has to go away I have visions of Lord of the Flies.

LOL.

Thanks for the reassurance Swamp and Mistress.

Good luck with the contracts Swamp, and have fun at your shindig. BTW, why do they call it a "shindig" anyway ... it makes it sound like a painful experience.

Have fun at the museum Mistress, I love a good day at ANY museum or zoo. Now I get to experience them all over through my kids.
