The following week I am already booked with a field inspection in Austin and then a short (3-day) trip back up to Minneapolis. I have other inspection requests coming up on the radar screen right now that I am simply telling people they will have to wait for until the 3rd week of February at the earliest.

While I guess it beats being out of work and looking for a job, it sure would be nice to have some extra help to carry some of the work load! Hopefully I can make a convincing argument for this to the boss this coming week up in Nashville. Last year when I brought it up, they basically told me I was the only field rep who was swamped with inspection requests and that the rest of the group was essentially playing the role of the "Maytag Repair Man"......
I'm tired just from reading that!!

Getting ready to take the 15 yr old grandson to his high school so they can play in a Mardi Gras parade tonight. They have about a 2 hr ride to get there because its close to Baton Rouge. His school has one of the top high school bands in the state.

Made it to Damon about 11:30 last night, long day. At least it's not raining this morning.

Mornin' everyone. I tell you, the weather yesterday here in DFW was absolutely beautiful. Made it the perfect opportunity to make some major progress on building the wife her media center for the living room (it's turned upside down in the picture)

She is excited just at this stage. The wood has been sitting in the garage for almost a month. haha

Just glad I could finally make headway on it. I enjoy doing projects like this. Just wish I had more time.

I hope they do!

But there's two players that play selfishly and two others that act like they "deer in the headlights"....so we've got two weeks to try and bring them up to speed... The two girls who play selfishly are greatly influenced by their dads during the games....so I wish sometimes their dads wouldn't show up...their dads are the play breakers

Just ordered a set of traction bars for the truck, also the truck bed storage system was sent off today. Between the Traction Bars and the extra weight in the bed with the Decked system i shouldn't have traction issues anymore (hopefully)

traction bars for an EcoBoost? You don't make enough power for those.



But really, any particular reason you are wanting them?
