All overcast here this AM with temps supposed to start dropping. Got a few errands to do and getting a new headliner in the cage at 9. No cooking to do today for the first Thanksgiving in nearly 30 years that I am not in the kitchen. I already miss it.

BTW, the towers of Harley carcasses came last night and unceremoneously dragged the remains of my old ride to wherever. I am officially Harley-less today. Sort of sad, but at least now I don't have to look at her every day in that sad condition.

It was supposed to be dinner at 1:00 PM.

Then it was changed to 6:00 PM.

Then it was changed to, "Dad and Margaret are taking us out to dinner."

So what I am doing today is riding out to Kay's Motorcycle Mania in Nolenville to have a Thanksgiving dinner with friends there. Then I am coming home and watching football and sleeping on the couch like you're supposed to do.

Why do things have to be so complicated?

I hope your day was celebrated with family or at least friends.
Mine was awsume to say the least. I and Mel and my mother in law all cooked our rears off to feed 7 with far, far more food then needed.
But there was left overs galore too.
No football was seen. Not needed at that time. Old stories and daddy(92) playing the piano was heard, that is a seldom heard thing nowadays.

It is traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year. Many, if not most, of the retailers go from being in the red, to being in the black for the year today.

The "official" start of the Christmas shopping season and the reason your newspaper has been so heavy these last few days.

Yeah, you could't get into Wally World's parking lot on a moped this morning. Good morning, everyone. The temps really dropped all day yesterday and the sound of the heater actually kicking on work me up. Waiting for the 1:30 kickoff of LSU and Arkansas. Felt funny not to have any dishes to contend with today as I usually do after Thanksgiving. Going out to eat has its advantages...especially when someone else treats.
Have a great day!

Late good morning. Been at work all morning doing my best to avoid work which is a privilege of teachers who know how to get away with it. It was mostly overcast when I left the hosue, but the skies are clearing rapidly and the temps have leveled off around the mid 60's. Might be just perfect this evening to polish off the remains of the pot of gumbo I just made.

Typical Gulf Coast weather for this time of year. Hope to see low 80's by Saturday. Sitting at work looking for that special place where I put things so I definitely will be able to find it later. One of these days, I'll remember to file things in the file cabinet so I can really screw things up.

:polar:I left out of Seminole Wednesday night for Cowtown. . .I hear Seminole had snow begining Thanksgiving Day and ended up with around 8 inches of the white stuff. Fort Worth got a few flurries, but nothing major. I didn't run into trouble until the drive back to Seminole on Sunday. I encountered a virtual onslaught of the stuff starting in Abilene. I've had a little experience driving in snow and ice. . .very short distances. . .but nothing like that. The highway was covered and pretty busy with holiday travellers going back home. It took me five hours to drive 250 miles. The cars going 80 that passed me by were the worst trouble I had. Funny thing is I seemed to recognize some of them further down the road. . .they were the ones spun out in the median and on the shoulder of the road! :D By the time I got to Big Springs it was just wet. There was still some snow on the road between Big Springs and Seminole, but it wasn't bad. I had to deal with a little dense fog, but that was minor compared to what I'd been through. . .

Seminole is good. I can't wait to get into my own place though! Whew! but I'm tired of hotels!

Good morning folks. This is day 8 of a headache that feels like someone is sticking their thumb in my right eye. It's gotten worse the last couple of days and I've surrendered to the Vicodin that has sat unused since I broke a finger 9 months ago.. Between the Vicodin and an antihystomine, I'm a bit loopy and wouldn't trust myself on the bike. I'm out of smokes except for the Salem Ultralights Sam left for me. It looks like I'm going to stagger to the convenience store up the road a ways.

So I can be the first to say Morning Folks...but unfortunately I haven't gone to sleep yet...my alarm goes off in 3 hours....doubt that I make it to work and like Ernie said no bike for sure....

Mine are nagging injuries...I can't imagine a week long headache....take a double dosed and get horizontal....hope you feel beeter soon....

11-30-2007, 05:08 AM

Morning everyone. Hey Ernie, maybe you should go see the doc.... Having a headache that long just ain't natural. That's how my daughter's problems started. Get it checked out.
Ron... By the sound of it, you probably should take the day off. The company will have to do without you. I used to work through all sorts of crap at my last job but when they downsized, I was still just another number... so do what's best for you.

Hope everyone has a good Friday!

Good morning everyone and TGIF! Ernie - go see a doc. If that's a sinus infection it won't just go away - you have to have antibiotics. That's a HEAD ache - that's where your brain is - don't mess with that.

Drank a pot of coffee...looked at the weather report and radar...some light rain in the mountains 45 miles away...nothing forcast for my neck of the woods...So I ride the Ultra...

Hour after I get to work...light rain...enough to muddy up the dust on the bike...nasty, muddy, water-spotted bike to ride home and at least rinse and spray with detail cleaner...at least my current pain medication comes in liquid form from a 12 oz bottle....POETS..........

Somebody gets paid for being wrong at least half the time...dang, I want that gig....

Daryl...weather is a bit nicer today...started out at 39* and overcast at daybreak...went out and hosed down the sidewalks and driveway of leaves and crude from the rain...washed both trucks....by that time it was sunny but still cool....BUT SUNNY...

Showered and out came the Hammer...cruised around the differnet bike shops to see if anyone was having good accessory or clothing sales....for as bad as they say the economy is..none of the local shops are moving off the dime...maybe an after Christmas sale cuz they ain't geting my $$$ right now...

But the ride was nice and actually the traffic was fairly light....may have some lunch and go back out for another ride....

Dan, the trip to NO is about 100 miles. Going tomorrow after work and probably will take Friday off because I will not get back home until pretty late. I haven't been to NO since Feb after Katrina when I rode my Harley through the place. Where I have to go tomorrow, I will probably irritate most of my family when I show up armed because they are in a place not deemed very safe after dark in NO. TFB for them. With any luck, this will be my last trip to that place in this lifetime.

Good very late morning to all. Been sipping coffee with Mom all morning. For those of you interested, the latest installment of the Scam Baiting with Nigerian idiots is posted. These guys are really something else.
Was on the highway until late last night. Had the choice of spending the night in the boonies at my sister's place of coming home. My place had more appeal. New Orleans still does not inspire any confidence in me after the sun goes down.

Tonya, what did the ss7 carrier problem turn out to be? Just curious.

Tonya, what did the ss7 carrier problem turn out to be? Just curious.I don't know for certain, only that it was on the customer end in their equipment. . . we proved it good through the various connections in the co and turned the ticket back to them. . . had a second one today on a different ss7. . .had a chain of co's on the phone with each other putting up loops and testing between them. . .it's too cool, but a bit confusing and nerve racking for someone like me that knows just enough to be dangerous!

I cut an in service hi cap to a new cable/pair. . .lesson learned today. . .do not grab both the tip and ring wire at the same time! :071:

Sounds like we may make a phonie aout of you yet. When do you officially get the title: Switchbitch?
Working with carriers was always a hoot. One of the things I used to really enjoy about the job.

Word docs kick my bootie. . .each one I've looked at so far has been different from the last. . .I spend a lot of time drawing diagrams so I can visualize all the connections in the loop. . . hopefully I'll get better at that. . .soon!

I thought you might. As for the processor and connections, it takes time, but it will become second nature to you before you know it.

I'll have to cross stitch that one and frame it for the office wall. . . :D

My trainer and I are moving from his office in Midland to my office in Seminole next week. We'll inventory all the equipment and tools so I'll know exactly what I have and what I need. . . He keeps shoving a tool in my face and going "Do you have one of these?" I just laugh at him. . .There is an amazing array of gadgets to play with!

We were looking at some of the fiber optic cables and equipment yesterday. . .some of the tools used to inspect that stuff are thousands of dollars each. . .incredible!

Good morning everyone. It's beautiful out today! We have to work in a ride. Last night we went to City Walk - a big party in Mt. Dora where they close the streets and the shops stay open - they had great bands and entertainment in the streets. We had an awesome icelandic meal and it was just a great evening. And my office party is tonight. Enjoy your Saturday!

Good morning. Working on the morning coffee. It's overcast and sort of grungy out. Temps in the low 80's....some almost winter. At least the coffee is good. Made a disaster area out of the kitchen yesterday, so I guess I will spend this AM making it normal again.

39 chilly degrees this AM...it snowed between ScrewBall's and my place last night closing I-5...so this storm isn't playing nice...it was heading East and turned around and came back....musta been some blowhard in Central Texas causing the turbulous....(mornin' Jim)

Did get in some local riding yesterday...not sure about today....

2 more working weeks then 11 days off.........(take 3 days vacation and get 11 days off...now that isn't a bad deal....)
I have one solid week of vacation left this year that was scheduled for Christmas week, but it's now designated for the "big move" on the 17th of this month. . .my kids are flying to Colorado the 23rd through the 27th so they wouldn't be available anyway. . .I keep reminding myself I raised them to be independent and that's what they are. It's all about New Traditions. :123:

I really hate Massachusetts this year so far.... we got a few inches of ICE last night and it shut down school for 2 hours this am... it's so hard to get to work on time AND find someone to drive your kids to school in the ice!!! (I've just lost a little of my Christmas spirit)

2 cups already and both have tasted like crap. I've got a case of Strep that's going around and the antibiotics make everything taste like crap. My daughters had it last week and now it's dad's turn.

Mornin all, sleet and ice the last couple of days kinda put a crimp on the weekend. Expecting up to an inch of ice on things by tomorrow, it could get really nasty around here by then, anybody got a flame thrower I can use on the sidewalks. I'm really not into ice chippers.:HaHaHa:

Everyone have a nice day, I know I won't.

Good morning, all. Tonya, this dish would hve gone over well where you're at...got the idea from a substitute teacher. I got a nice ham and stuffed it with strips of fresh jalapeno pepperes then injected it with an assortment of fruit juices and baked it. Kept reinjecting the resulting juices from the cooking until I couldn't stand the aroma anymore and then pigged out on it. Outstanding. The remains got thrown into a pot with them big lima beans and simmered all day Saturday. You vets all should remember C-Ray days with that good old ham and M.....F.....!
Also had a boneless chuck roast that needed attention so I simmered it down with a lot of assorted seasonings until I got a nice gravy out of it and served it over rice...got me through football yesterday. The cleanup is now officially completed.

Mornin Jim, glad to see you up and at em. I'm setting here watchin the rain come down and waiting for daylight to see how bad the ice is accumulating on the trees and fences. Roads are okay, just wet but passable.

Coffee is hot and nasty. They just can't seem to get it right here at work.

Everyone have a nice day today, I know I won't.
