Lucky you...I'm not complaining...it's been more than a blessing to get the weather we've had up here in December ....glad it wasn't like last year

 

Pretty easy start to the week -- quick run over the San Antonio to look at a job there this afternoon, grab some MNF in the hotel this evening while writing my inspection report, then drive back to Houston on Tuesday morning. Might stop in Seguin on the way home and treat my niece to lunch to give her a break from the "college food service" grind......

 

The boy comes home today from college for winter break....3 1/2 weeks he gets off inbetween semesters....this should be an interesting event for us too....scary I think

 

In between semesters I'd be working with the pipe insulators in chemical plants and refineries.

 

Sounds like more driving then work!

 

Saints vs Buccaneers yesterday at my daughters. 14 ft screen in their theater.

 

Cold front came through with a vengeance...temp dropped from 81 yesterday to 71 today!!

 

Chicken Fried Steak from Western Sky!! Best there is

 

Yeah -- when I came back from school I worked as many hours as possible at Target to bank some extra coin! Of course, chasing the tail of female co-workers I hadn't seen since September had nothing at all to do with my enthusiasm for heading off to work......

 

I was driving the '66 GTO back then and had to pay a hefty sum for insurance. My Dad would not let me sit around the house and goof off when there was work available. Our neighbor was a superintendent with the local industrial insulating union so his son and myself would get a chance to make extra money. Most of the 18 to 20 yr old's back then were in the military if not in college and they always needed help. 10 to 12 hr days and any overtime was double time...also got travel pay if the job was more then 30 miles from the union office in New Orleans. This was after Hurricane Betsy in 1965 that did a lot of damage in SE Louisiana. Never had to chase tail back then because they were chasing me!!!

 

The Coronary Special!!

 

 

Yes it is!

 

Bought a new phone today. IPhone 6. Been teaching it how to act

 

Liking the Dolphin's old school uniforms tonight on MNF -- way better than their current threads.....
