Well it was not sana but we had about a dozen people come over christmas eve. Some brought things like lobster and shrimp etc.

Christmas morning I have the trots. Not specifically what I expected but is what it is. Sitting here at the keyboard intaking more fluids to prevent dehydration. I probably will pass on christmas dinner later today. I really want this to stop.

Another sunrise, another round of meds for Ed. Kids next door playing soccer in the snow. Half hour brushing out Darling Wife's awesome red mane while the goons whined (WE NEED TO GO OUT NOW!!!) so she can wash it out before heading to the barn.

Stuff? Yeah, guess we forgot all about that part. Oh well. I'm a lucky guy. This much I know.

A pack of those new fangled boxer briefs and two packs of black crew socks.
I'm so blessed this year.

Joe, allot around 5-6 hours of straight building time. I did, and it was worth it!

For those precious moments we're back to being 16

Thumbs up

Old news....but Monday of last week; my divorce was final.
A wallet, but my youngest daughter didn't know you were suppose to put money in it. Guess her mother didn't remember, either.
A belt from my oldest daughter who noticed my 2 other belts have cracks in them. She gets big bonus points for noticing.
Ex wife gave me a tin of homemade cookies and some type of peppermint popcorn she made this year. That was nice.
A big container (from Costco) of Cashews --- perfect for my next road trip.
My new girlfriend (just 2 months) gave me a gym membership and some workout shorts, shirts, and a sweatshirt. I wonder if she wants me to start giving her a "workout".

For what purpose? What if the Victoria Secret models want in? Are you going to turn them away? If so, give them my address.
