Well, at least I keep checking in on the site. Nothing much new to note, so will just leave you with this: The sun is setting on another day. It will rise again in a few hours, and the majority of us will return to our places of work.  Thankfully it will be Friday and that means the weekend is near. I will wish everyone a great weekend. Game on my friends!

Cool.  Just got home and in my in box was an e-mail from Microsoft saying my 360 is fixed, warranteed, and on its way home.  4Wheel Parts called earlier and said my exhaust for the Jeep should be here on Friday, and it looks like work is picking up slightly so maybe no more cuts in hours.  Got to get out fishing on Sunday morning and it turned into a beautiful day at the beach.  Now I remember what the good part of living in SoCal is.  All in all, a much better start to this week.  Here's hoping the rest of the week is as good or better.

Well, the 360 is in Microsoft's hands now.  Let's see how that turns out.  Maybe I'm a little too pessimistic, but I have never had good experences with electronic repairs.  Oh well, they've done millions of them so they should be pretty well practiced by now, huh?  Birthday was Thursday.  Pretty uneventful, after work came home, ate pizza, watched the Kings lose again, and had my traditional birthday cheesecake.  Now for my celebration, I'm going to cruise down to Newport Beach early in the morning and do a little surf fishing before the crowds show up with the warm weather we are having.

Well, this certainly has started out as a sh!%%y week.  Saturday morning, my cell phone rings and it's my dad telling me that my Grandfather passed away late Friday night.  His funeral was today in St. Louis. (The fact that I'm home writing this means I missed it.)  At least my mother, sister and nephew were there.  Yesterday, my supervisor calls a meeting and says that we are running out of work for everyone so we will most likely be getting cut to three days a week.

Well, here I am again.  What to post?   Hmmmmmmm.......  Not much out of the ordinary happening in my life.  I still have a job, so I guess that is something to be happy about.  Hopefully our new Prez can get the economy straightened out before more of us end up in the unemployment line.  Took the Jeep out to play in the snow a couple of weeks ago.  Was kind of fun watching the deer and other wildlife up in the mountains.  I guess I should be doing my taxes instead of writing this, but, ah, how I procrastinate.  Anyway, just thought I should check in and actually write something.
