Lot's to do, and I get to work

Tomorrow is the big gun auction, and I have to work. Oh well, there wasn't much I was interested in this time around. And I get to make a little extra cash. Besides the gun auction, it's double gun show weekend. A couple weekends a year, two gun shows, one in my county, the other, one county over, land on the same weekend. It will be a nice one day weekend anyway. Surprisingly, as close together as they are, there are enough vendors and people that they are both rather full gun shows. Not like when the two Evansville ones line up and half set up at one and the rest set up at the other one. The one in Booneville is usually really cool. They get some antiques and unique guns and trinkets. Still getting over a really vile bug, so have to see how ambitious I get. Definitely going to try and hit at least one of them. Antibiotics are knocking the edge off a bit. They have been kicking the bug around work for a couple months now and I was hoping on missing it. Hate giving money to the doctors that can be better spent on ammo.

Busy day

Work all day, and then, time to prepare. All blunt throwable objects removed from viewing area, check, Barf bags handy, check. I do believe I am as ready as ever to listen to what the leading liberal has to say. Can't stand watching him, but I do try and keep up to date. He has already said he is prepared to move forward without congressional approval, so, I am not really sure what the nimrod has to say.

Hanoi Jane, a role model?

Yes, Michelle Obummer actually looks up to Jane Fonda. Maybe she doesn't know the history of Fonda because she is too young? Nope, she is the same age as me. The shameful way she behaved during the Vietnam war towards our soldiers, I have no use for her. We have someone in the white house who actually holds up a traitor as a role model. Probably looks up to Rodman as well. Total scumbags all three of them.

Wow

Finally got all the paperwork for the truck so I could go get license plates. I have been through the BMV quick before, but this time it was extremely fast. Walked in and immediately got called to the desk. plates are swapped other vehicles are renewed for another year. I was in there less than fifteen minutes. Now if only the last of my tax documents would get here, I could finish the other annual annoyance.

Woke up to a dusting of snow and a little ice on the roads. Glad I headed out early. They have no idea how to drive down here. Had some mental midget trying to mate with my rear bumper during the later part of the run to work. He took the hint and backed off after we passed the first vehicle sticking up out of the ditch alongside the road. One of four that I had to maneuver around. Crazy weather spurt as well as drivers. The people who started a couple hours early had clear roads, and within a couple hours of arriving at work, the roads were once again clear. Ready for springtime. Kids got another snow day. At the rate they are going, they will be going to school all summer making up the time.

Two whole days off

I still can't believe it. Hot job in house and I got the whole weekend off. That never happens. Came home and made a nice vat of chili to enjoy over the weekend. We actually got a dusting of snow today. Woke up to a little snow on the grass, you could clearly see green patches everywhere, and, they delayed schools and closed some. I remember as a kid walking through blizzards to school. They never cancelled. It is quite weird being down here and watching the shear panic when white fluff falls from the sky.

Indy show this weekend, but I am leaning towards just staying home and trying to finish up a couple projects that I have in the works. Be nice to relax a bit and enjoy some chili and corn bread. Been using a cornbread recipe with some cream corn mixed in and it is really good.

Just under the wire......

The management that can't manage (my bosses) came up with a hot job. Total mold rebuild to be done by Monday morning. The mold won't be here until tomorrow, late. Usually takes a week to refurbish a mold. The weekend list turned into a Saturday and Sunday deal. There are only a few people off, and, so far, I am one of them. That never ever happens. I won't be safe until tomorrow afternoon, but it is looking good. Either way is OK. one way, it's more money, the other, I get a weekend. It is Indy 1500 weekend, still deciding if I am ambitious enough to make the journey. Weather may make up my mind.
