Thank you also, for the kind words!! 8) And that was "good news" that you told me the other day!! I am sure that it will turn out to be a good move for you...and we'll be looking forward to you filling in some "blanks" about your new employer!! I'm sure MP will be happy with it also!!!

 

Hello again to everyone. I hope y'all had a very safe, happy Easter. I'm getting unloaded presently, then starting south for "vacation". Just giving a quick update and cheery greetings to everyone. Hopefully I can meet some of y'all along the way sometime as well. As a matter of fact, it looks as though I'm about to be on my way through Atlanta possibly tomorrow

Warning: Y'all better be very wary of ol' Grandpa (Skywalker). Don't let him con you into buying him lunch or worse, dinner... He eats almost as much as I can! :P :lol: :P :lol: :P :lol:

Yeah....and I can still remember the look on the cashier's face when you paid the bill there in Savannah..... 8) She had a hard time believing the two of us ate all of that!!!

I'm looking forward to hearing about it as well. I spoke to him the other day...he's out training...I mean "learning how to be a REAL slacker"!!

Speaking of "SLACKERS".....are you or did you have fun down there in Jax?

 

"bump".....

8) You know who.....is into a major "slacking" routine right now.... 8)

I guess he'll get off his duff and show up here again one day....... :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

I'm not slacking. I am out with my trainer and don't have access to a puter much. except when at a hotel.

 

Eeeeek!! In a motel!!! 8) How dare they treat you like a "human being"!!
The nerve of them!!! :shock:

I take it all is going well? 8)

I know you're "earning" your pay right now.....its "Cyanide" who's doing the BIG SLACKER routine right now..... :P :P

 

Okay enough already! Hell yeah I was slacking and enjoying every minute of it!!! Spent the better part of two weeks off having a blast with my son, other family, and friends during the break down in Jax. But yes, I'm alive and very well, and just getting back into the swing of work again. I hope everyone else had a great last (almost) three weeks. Presently stopped by the house (Indiana) for the next day on my way to Wisconsin, then back to Westville and into the groove. Guess I'll cut this short and update everything so this is up to speed. Y'all be safe and have fun... :wink:
