Hello All
Hope all are doing well on this Hump day. It’s been a stressful week for me so far but I did get good new yesterday that my brother has no blockage in his heart and they say the reason his heart was pumping so little fluid was that he had a weak heart. So they’re going to start treating that with medication. The family sure is relieved. We don’t expect for him to get out of the hospital until tomorrow, Thursday that’s if all looks good. He’s still got some swelling of the legs and just getting over the pneumonia. Still it’s good new. Either one of the kids meaning me or my Brother has ever had to stay in a hospital overnight. My sister did as he had my nephew but over all I would have to say that my mother did a wonderful job on keeping us all health. At work I received five new intakes and at the point now where are we going to put them. It’s like the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDC for short) all over again, over crowding. Looking back when I first took on this job the kids where getting something out of the program and now with the over crowding we’re pushing them out as fast as we get them cause we haven’t anywhere to house them. So I can see why a lot of them become repeat offenders. When I work for TDC the longest one I saw out was seven hours and he was back in the system again. It’s really sad as I see some of these kids doing the same thing that the adults are doing not to mention that some have their whole families come through the system. I use to think that I could make a change but there comes a time that one just has to do their job and move on. Last meeting for the month and me and my boss are providing the Lunch and refreshments. I was going to do pizza but she called me and asked me to bring some kind of meet as she had the rest at home. So I’m going to stop and pick up some BBQ chicken wings. (I like the boneless myself) Also have to go by the hospital to drop off some clean underwear for my brother. Have to keep it fresh yal on top of having to stop off at the main headquarters for the Juvenile probation office too so I have a pretty busy morning and day as well. I’m still completing some of Mondays work as well. Today should be slow enough for me to catch up as I won’t stay in the meeting to long either. I’ve been thinking about Jeff here lately as to some of the things he’s told me in the past few weeks about this new person. I won’t slander his name or anything but one has to wonder was I being used through the time he and I where together. I hate to feel that way but since he’s been seeing this other person and making the efforts to go see him other than like he did with me one can’t help but think that. Then again it’s been a few months since he and I split and I think now that he’s attempting to see someone else is when it hit home. I haven’t attempted to contact him at all lately and even though we’re still good friends it’s best that I stand back and let him and I move on. As most of you all now the story with me and home and a lot of issues there as well but when one feels they have found the mad that meets all the qualification they look for in a man it’s hard to let that go. As I mentioned before I have been taking with Jay and looking forward to meeting him as well. One never knows he could be the one to allow me to move forward as well. I really like the idea that he lives local in the area and not to far away from my home. Well that’s about it for now I hope all are having a wonderful day and well as the week too. So until fingers meet keys big hugs to every one.

Back To Work
Hello All My Friends.
Monday and its back to work again, Hope all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday? I enjoyed mine somewhat. Finally got over the sniffles, runny nose and couch on Sunday and feeling much better as well. As some of you know we had to put my brother in the Hospital on Friday as he developed Pneumonia just before the holidays. Once we got him there they found out he has congestive heat failure as well. So he’s pretty bumped about that but lucky we caught it in time than him having a heart attack. He’s 40 years old about 60 to 70 pounds over weight but still has a good majority of his life to live but if he doesn’t change his life style meaning his eating habits and exercise more could put himself at risk for one. They won’t do anything about the congestive heart failure until Tuesday as they’re giving him time to get over the pneumonia. Right now he’s continuing with his breathing treatments and seems to be doing much better. The fluids they have him on has swollen him up some but over all he’s doing well. I have to tell you between my father and him this as been one hell of a year, one of the reasons why I’m so ready for this year to end to move onto the next. I send out well wishes to all my pals on Bear411 and got a few back in return. Some I haven’t heard from in a while and was good to hear from them as well. I want to wish my friend John from C.C. well wishes as well. Hope all turns out for the best will be looking forward to hearing the results as I’m sure things will look great. I spoke with Jeff over the weekend and he’s all hyped about going to Ok. To visit this person he met a few months ago. He’s taking the kids with him as well. Even though it’s over I have to say I’m a little jealous of that. He’s not kissing and telling me the whole story but I know there is something between the two of them. I guess reality has set in that I can’t keep up hope that he will come around and want to spend his days with me. Got a call from Jay this weekend, someone who contacted me from Bear411 and we chatted for a good hour. He’s a handsome person and has a nice voice as well. I’m looking forward to meeting him in person as well. Since I was under the weather I wasn’t going to visit and take the change on spreading anything to him. I was going to take some new photos to post on my Bear411 and bigger city profile but I’m going to have to cancel that as my brother being ill and home for recovery as well. No big deal. I can always do that at a later date. I didn’t hit the mall or electronic stores as it was very tempting but I saw on the news how the fights and things broke out and folks getting trampled on as well all I have to say it I’m glad I wasn’t there. As of yet not plans for the weekend. My friend Steve is still busy getting the vacation home ready to put on the market. He still has mixed emotions on selling the place or not as I’m sure he has some fond memories there not to mention it’s been in the family two generations. Him being an only child well he has no one to pass it on too. Dilemma he has on his hands. Well again hope all had a wonderful Holidays and hope the next few weeks won’t be stressful either. Until fingers meet keys all take care and be safe. Looking forward to hearing from you all soon. Hugs.

Thanksgiving Day
Hey All
Turkey day and still feeling sick but I feel much better than I felt yesterday. Hope all had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well and got plenty to eat and catch up with the families as well. I know some of you aren’t going to visit family more less waiting for the Xmas holiday instead. Got up and got me a Thursday’s paper which looked like a Sunday’s paper and I’m still not finished with it. Although some of the sales look good I won’t be buying a thing as I have finished my Xmas shopping since October 31. I did see some great deals on Lap tops for under four hundred bucks but you make sure you read the fine print as you know it’s always a catch and it’s only a one day sale and at five in the morning at that. Hell way too early for me and not to mention all the folks who will be camped out waiting for the stores to open as well. My mother said she wasn’t going to do that this year which was a surprise to me. Lord knows the woman lived in the malls for years and maybe why I don’t like them so much. Didn’t write any today, though I had brain storms of notes to work with I just wasn’t up to it feeling like I have been feeling. Sinuses were really giving me the blues along with Post nasal drip that has to be the worst. If I would stop draining I think I would be alright. Somebody shoot me the next time someone says Flu shot. It was free so I went head and did it. Sister was in and out at my place parts of the day as my brother had one of the turkeys here to be deep fried. Dinner finally ready about four in the evening as we always eat late on the holidays. Got up and got me a good hot shower to open up my sinuses, then headed over to my folks who live in the neighborhood next door to ours. Table was set lovely as usually and we all sat down to Two Turkeys, one deep fried, The other traditional, dressing, Greens, Giblet grave, Dirty rice, rolls, Potato salad, Fruit salad, Cranberry sauce, tea and an assortment of Desserts from Pies to cakes. It didn’t take us long to get full as all the family was there including my sisters boyfriend who my mother doesn’t like too much but she puts up with him for her sake. He’s ok by me as long as he’s not doing my sister wrong. I worked on my folk’s computer as they have lost connection to the internet with the DSL modem. Have to call them tomorrow and find out what’s wrong. After a second helping of food and we’re all hurting at this point everyone started finding them a room of a place on the sofa’s to stretch out. Me I got me a plate and made my way back to the house. Watched a little television and got a call from my Best friend Steve as we caught up on the today’s events. Well I hope all are doing well and had a great evening. Even though I was a little sick I made the best of it and have to say that today was a good day. Not cold but cool more less just right weather. Sun was even out as well. We’re suppose to get rain this weekend. Like 70% worth. So I won’t be washing my vehicle this weekend either. Still have plenty to do from my project not to mention Video that I’ve taped through the week. So until fingers meet keys all have a good one and enjoy the rest of your weekend as well. For those of you who will brave the store happy shopping and all that good stuff. Hug to all.

Friday! It's Here, But Its Hump Day.
Hello All My Pals And Friends.
Hope all are doing well? Hump day and my Friday as well. Another four day weekend as well. I want to take time to reflect on my day yesterday which was Tuesday. I have to say it was a very stressful one at that. Got up that morning and feeling a little ill with coughing and Sinus draining for sure. As some of you may recall I took a Flu shot on Friday and Sunday I started feeling some affects of it. I was told that a flu shot won’t make you sick but I’m here to test that I’m not feeling well after taking that one. Got to work and they dropped a bomb on me seven New intakes on top of us releasing residents for an extended home visit. Double work for me that day on top of feeling ill as well, I was to the point of just packing up heading home again but I got through it. Normally I would have had time to chat with friends on line but it was business for sure all that day. I was so tired when I got home that I checked email and chatted a very short time with my friend John from San Antonio and them headed to bed. I did take some medication for multiple symptoms which went to work fast and knocked me out as well. LOL. I don’t recall coughing during the night but I do recall waking up to blowing my nose a few times. This morning after my hot shower I felt some what good and the steam helped open up my sinuses however driving to work things changed pretty quick. Walking in the door I felt like I had a fever and sweating pretty good on my forehead so I quickly heard to the kitchen to get me some Orange juice to load up on my vitamin C. Just hope it doesn’t upset my stomach. Not a lot to do as my boss took the day off to travel for the holidays. So it’s going to be an easy day for sure as I need that on my Friday. Going over to my folks for Dinner tomorrow as all the family will be there. No one traveling this time around and I don’t blame them. Even though gas has dropped to $1.99 here we’re all still recovering from the prices when they reached $3.00. Since I’m feeling pretty ill I will be keeping my butt at the house and resting up to get my health back. As most of you know I’m finished with my Xmas shopping. Every year I start in August and usually finished by the end of October. I hate crowded mall. Especially here in Houston as way to many kids hang out there and they are doing some silly things. I need to be around folk more my own age as I work with kids on a day to day bases. So folk in my profession can surely understand. Well that’s about it for now hope all will have a wonderful holiday and I want to hear from you all on what went down over the holidays as well. Hugs to you all and until fingers meet keys.

One Of Three Work Days, Monday
Hello All MY Pals
Monday has arrived and I just finished a four day weekend which was restful except for the back pain I’ve been suffering since Sunday. Really got worst today as it’s still morning but I’ll know how I feel later in the day. I hope all had a wonderful weekend as well. Lucky I only have three days to work this week again so I can kind of take it easy as well. Looking forward to Thursday as I’m going to hurt myself on the food my mother is going to prepare. You all know, eat lay down, eat again and lay down then pack a plate. LOL And that’s what I’m going to do for sure. No special plans after Thursday. My best friend Steve called last night and he’s about finished with the vacation home. As some of you may remember they suffered damage from Rita passing though as a tree fell on the barn there. So he’s been busy cleaning out stuff so they can tear it down. Then get ready to put it on the market. I’ve only been out there Twice but it’s a nice little place. Since he doesn’t use it much he said it’s time to get rid of it. He and I may do dinner on Saturday if our schedules will allow it and I’m still not moaning and groaning form Thursday’s dinner. LOL Since I have been off for four days I don’t know what to expect when I get back to the office. As bad as my back has been bothering me I’m tempted to call in but we have a policy that if we call in three days before a holiday we’ll have to bring in a doctors excuse. Well I think I can handle three days in return for four so I won’t play that game on them. Well that’s all for now if there is a part two I’ll be sure to add it in. Well hope all have a wonderful day as I will surely try to do the same. Somehow I know I will. So until fingers meet keys. Hugs to all and be safe.
Part two
Got to work and forgot to turn on my Cell phone and had a message from my mother telling me my father had fallen again in the bathroom at they’re house and she couldn’t get him up. Needless to say since I was 45 minutes away there was nothing I could do but I did call my brother and he mentioned he went over and took care of him. When it returns from his Dialyses he’s usually light headed and dizzy so we have to watch him after the procedure. Over all he’s doing very well as I was worried that he wasn’t going to make the year out. Goes to show you can’t keep and old bull down. Well work went along well. Come to find out I received four while I was out and one today. Sent them straight in from court. We’re already over crowded and we can’t get them out as fast as we get them in. Harris County isn’t going to build anymore facilities especially since they’ve been laying off some of the city workers. 15 from the 911 service itself. Not a good time of the year to be laying folks off. You think they could wait until after the holidays. That’s one thing about being in the Corrections field I won’t have to worry about being laid off unless I screw up and I’m not abut to do that. I need my job just as much as the next person. One things I can say a person can get head in life as things are cheaper here compared to most cities. I can’t believe what rent cost yet along a home in some of these state. Over all I have to say it was a great day at that. Just two more left before I start my second four day weekend. I downloaded a some info on copyrights and I’ll be going over a lot of that as I will need to know that once I get the publication started. Well that’s about it tonight so until fingers meet keys.

Third Day Of My Four Days Off
Hey All
It’s the Third day of my four days off and I have to say it’s been a fast pace one at that. Can’t believe it’s almost over as well. One day left and it’s back to the grind. However I’ll only work three days this coming week as well. I’m looking forward to hurting myself on the good food at my folk’s home. It’s like eat and lay down, eat and lay down again and then pack a plate for later. LOL Hope all are having a great weekend as well. Since I wasn’t at work on Thursday I have no idea how many new intakes we received that day. I look at it this way when I’m off, I’m off and I don’t call the job for hardly a thing. Friday went and got my flu shot lets hope it doesn't make me sick in the process. Spent most of the day with Jeff and the kids. One was sick and he had to pick her up from school and took her to the doctor. Come to find out she has a bad case of Strep throat. He and I ate Chinese food in Lake Jackson in which was pretty good. Since I was taking him to the airport Early Sunday morning I didn’t see any reason to drive all the way home and the drive back out here so I stayed the night and it was an eventful one at that. Totally unexpected but I didn’t fight it either. (You can use your imagination in that one my friends) LOL Got him to the airport this morning and when I got home laid it down as I was pretty tired and felt like I been in a few rounds with Mike Tyson. Again it’s all good. I want to thank my good friend Jerry in LA for sending me the Madonna CD. To all of you who like the club music scene you’ll love this one. One cut even reminds me of the Donna Summer tune, “I Feel Love.” No dinner plans tonight as my best friend is still moving things out of the barn on their vacation home so it can be torn down. As most of you recall Tree fell on it and damaged it to no repair. He’s ready to sale the place anyway so I’ll keep all posted. Well that’s about it for now catching up on my Week’s videos as I have more than usually this week. Hope all are having a wonderful weekend as well and as always looking forward to hearing from you all too. So until fingers meet keys take care and be safe as well.

(You can use your imagination in that one my friends) LOL Got him to the airport this morning and when I got home laid it down as I was pretty tired and felt like I been in a few rounds with Mike Tyson. Again it’s all good. I want to thank my good friend Jerry in LA for sending me the Madonna CD. To all of you who like the club music scene you’ll love this one. One cut even reminds me of the Donna Summer tune, “I Feel Love.” No dinner plans tonight as my best friend is still moving things out of the barn on their vacation home so it can be torn down. As most of you recall Tree fell on it and damaged it to no repair. He’s ready to sale the place anyway so I’ll keep all posted. Well that’s about it for now catching up on my Week’s videos as I have more than usually this week. Hope all are having a wonderful weekend as well and as always looking forward to hearing from you all too. So until fingers meet keys take care and be safe as well.

Friday on Hump Day
Its Hump day on my Friday and I have to tell you I’m ready for the day to end as it’s just getting started. My dad called me yesterday and asked me to pick him up from Dialyses this morning at ten in which I did. Way to early for me as I don’t usually go to bed until 2 Am. one of the disadvantages of working evenings, however I was up about eight this morning for some reason and wasn’t able to go back to sleep. So when the alarm went off at nine I got on up. I’m sure some of you can test to that as now it’s something after eleven and I’m feeling sleepy due to me not getting my full eight hours. So I know what my day is going to be like. Things should run smoothly at the office as I won’t have to much going on. The sixth of seven meetings I have to attend a month. I know to eat before I get there as the presenter this week, well lets say they don’t put out like the rest of us for lunch. Little nick knacks is all and that’s surely won’t fill me up. I sure hope it won’t drag on or I will be falling asleep in this one. Then drive along will make me tired when I get there. Oh well it’s a living but why I’m working so hard to get my publication off the ground. Still a long ways to go but I’m making good progress and it’s good that I can take my time and review things for mistakes unlike before when things where kind of rushed. Still writing and I think I have some good stuff too. So I’ll have to do some test runs and get some comments from friends and pals. Well I hope all are having as good mid week and looking forward to hearing what plans some of you have made for the weekend as well. Me I will have to play it by ear. Even thought the price of gas has gone down greatly. 2.09 now and my Xmas shopping was completed as of October 31, I know this isn’t over so I’m putting as much away for rainy days and especially towards the business. I won’t cut myself out completely of enjoying live. I still enjoy going out to dinner with my best friend I just won’t be going out as often. Well again hope all are having a wonderful day and a very special thanks to my friend Jerry in Shrevport,LA for sending me the wonderful gift. I look forward to hearing from you all in the chat rooms. Hugs, smooches or whatever all take care until fingers meet keys.
Part Two
Well it’s a little later in the day, bedtime as a matter of fact and I’m dead tired. Between the drive home and the day I was dragging for sure. Then again I knew I was going to be sleep as I didn’t get enough rest last night. Meeting went on for hours but the good part about it the presenters this week did have something decent. Pizza and I did get full as I didn’t have time to stop and get me something to eat as I normally do when they present. Received and new Intake on a Wednesday as it was out of my routine. However manage to get him taken care of and the rest as well. So Monday when I return I won’t be so swamped with paper work. Asked a friend today to see if he will take some new pictured of me to post on my Bear profile as well as others I have and he told me to call him in the morning to see what his schedule is like then. I would do it myself but it’s so time consuming to set the camera on a tripod and get that right shot. Thank goodness for Digital camera or one could use a whole roll of film just to get the right shot. Didn’t eat much for dinner either, bag of Chips and Pink Lemonade. Was that hungry I guess as I was more sleep than anything. Well going to head to bed as I recapped my day. So until fingers meet keys.

Second Monday
Hello All my Pal and Friends.
I hope all had a wonderful weekend. Monday and I should be in a bad mood but since I’m working three days this week it’s all good. I’m looking forward to them as well but haven’t much planed. Evaluations are finally over at work and I scored well however it’s not my pay raise year so it wasn’t important to me. However next year is so I guess I will have a change of attitude for sure. LOL This weekend was lazy and productive for sure. Had some good chatting with folks in the business that I’m trying to kick off. Started the layout for the web design as well but I can’t get to far as I haven’t pictures to post there as of yet. It’s a slow process and I’m glad I can take my time to get it right or attempt to get it right. In the mean time I have been writing and the short stories are just about ready. Just a little proofing is all and maybe some rewrite too. I have to tell you writing that kind of Material will make a man very horny. Then again it’s not some of my best work but it’s good all the same and should hold ones attention. I have noticed that writing for men and women are very different. Men want to get straight to the point as women like more romance. However I have been finding a few men that actually like a story to them so I guess its all good for sure. One can’t please everyone. Didn’t do dinner this weekend with my best friend Steve as he had to got meet the insurance adjuster on his country home as they had a tree fall on the Barn and it’s totaled. I haven’t talked to him as of yet to see what the insurance is going to do but I’m sure they will pay the barn off. He says he doesn’t want to rebuild as he’s seriously thinking about selling the place. On of my ex Co workers from when I worked in adult corrections called me and we had a long talk catching up on one another and things. Oh the memories came flooding back and I have to say I don’t miss it one bit. However when they say all the good looking ones are in prison they are right as they have more time to work out and keep they’re bodies in great shape. One thing about them they don’t work on their legs to often. Then again I like a husky man so the muscle bound and Twinkie looking men didn’t do it for me. Sunday I read the paper as usually and catch up on my taped video shows from the week. Was going to wash my vehicle as it needs it, I think this is the longest I’ve gone without washing it, but I also thought it was going to rain this weekend as it turned out to be a very lovely weekend at that. Three weeks into this day light savings time and I’m still getting use to that. It gets dark quick and I mean quick at 5:30 pm here. Over all I have to say it was a good weekend and hope all had a good one as well. I look forward to chatting as always. All take care until fingers meet keys.

Veterans Day
Hello My Friends.
It’s Veterans Day as a majority of my friends are off today. Unfortunate for me I have to work. Still it’s all good as I will have two four day weekends starting next week. Had some plans for next weekend but they fell though so I still have time to make new ones before that time. I think the Banks and post office are closed as well today, it’s really not that important to me today as it’s not payday and all that comes in the mail are the bills. For those of you who know a little something about my job I received three new intakes yesterday. It was suppose to be four but only three showed up as I was relieved of that. Processing them didn’t take long and I had the rest of the day to mainly blow off since my boss was in meeting the majority of the day. We had a full schedule of prereleases that day as we’re trying to get them out as fast as they arrive. One has to wonder how the Stars and Stripe program is being affective to the kids if they’re not there long enough to benefit from it. We’re over crowded too, way above out limit, and they continue to keep sending us new intakes but that’s life I guess. As long as they keep screwing up I’ll have a job. We’ll have less than half of them go home this weekend on home visits and let’s hope none have rabbit in them and decide to take a little vacation. Eventually they will get caught but for sure won’t return to our facility. This weekend I need to get in the yard to get it ready for the winter. Like we really have winters, LOL I’m a native Houstonian so 65 degrees would be cold to me. HEHEHHEHE. Still I need to get it ready so it will grow nice and green next year. Won’t trim the trees until spring starts to roll around which will be sometime in April. Looking out my window it’s such a lovely day today and the weather man says it’s going to be a lovely weekend as well which will make my yard work that much easier. LOL may do dinner again with my Best friend Steve as it’s becoming a ritual for us on Saturday night. Over all looking to have a wonderful day and hope all will do the same. Looking forward to the chats with my pals on line as well so until fingers meet keys Hugs and be safe too.

Another Hump Day
Hello All My Friends
Hope all had a good day. Morning started off good as it’s hump day not to mention I had to be at work early for the 4th. of seven meetings I have a month. Meeting got along and we were out in a little over and hour. I have to say the food was pretty good too. Meatballs and Dirty rice with warm rolls and some Mixed Fruit was on the menu. Now next week I know to eat before I get there as I hate to say the presenters for that week won’t go all out like the rest of us. My friend Ron was suppose to come over this morning as he’s one of my Bi friends who wants to get in my pants and for me to top him. However it’s such a turn off to me when he knows I’m 100% bottom and won’t take no for an answer. Makes one want to distance themselves from him as I’m not going to put myself in that situation. He’s not a bad looking person either however the married part and that he’s Bi too, I’m not going to put myself in that situation again as most of my pals know the story to that one already. It’s nice he wants to have his cake and eat it too but I won’t be the icing. Not to mention when he starts talking about women’s genitalia, well let’s say it doesn’t do anything for me. My dad called me just before I was leaving for work and asked me if I could drive him to Dialyzes in which I did as it’s only ten minutes away from the their home and they live in the neighborhood next door to me so it wasn’t a problem at all. Drove to work as normal with no problems on the major freeways. I have three of them I have to take before I’m at work from my 45 mile commute, but for some reason when I arrived there I was in a bad mood the majority of the day. It seemed to have gotten worst as the day went on. I guess because I didn’t want to be there in the first place and it was such a beautiful day outside. Still getting use to the daylight savings time as it starts to get dark around 5:30 now. It was work as usual and only one ship off today. This kid just couldn’t get his act together. However only two more days left of this week and I’m ready for the weekend. Nothing planed as of yet and since I’m conserving these days I really have nothing special going on. May do dinner again with my best friend would be my highlight of the weekend, we’ll see. I want to thank all my Chat pals for their support in my venture. As long as I keep a level head about me and stay on track it will happen. I know it won’t be much at first but I hope it will grow into something special and able to compete with some of the bigger established publications. Only time will tell. Well again I hope all had a wonderful and eventful day. Looking forward to hearing from all my friends. So take care as I will surely do the same. Until fingers meet keys. Hugs to you all.

Work Week Start, Monday
Hello My Friends
Well it’s Monday and the weekend is over. I have to say it was an eventful weekend at that as I did get me some. More on that later. Saturday I attended the third of seven meeting I have a month. They served food to sort of smooth things over for us coming in on a Saturday afternoon. Bitch session as usual so I wasn’t very attentive. Got home and later got a call from my best friend Steve to see if I wanted to go to dinner and I accepted. Afterwards we went cruising as usual not like we were going to pick up anything but more less to waste time as neither one of us wanted to go home early. Our way of wasting time. Ended up getting home about 11:15 PM and checked my email. Since I work evenings I had taped programs from the week that I needed to catch up on so I did that until 4 in the morning. Sunday rolled around and when I get up at 10:00 AM needless to say I was a little groggy from lack of good sleep. Did my funky fresh things, you know the three S’s then went and got a Sundays paper. Took me about and hour and a half to got through that and thought about going to see Jeff (my Ex and the kids.) in which I did. Have to say I got Lucky too, that’s where the eventful weekend came from as my weekend came to a close. I have to say it was a lovely closing at that. Monday I know it was going to be a little hectic when I found out on Friday that I had four new intakes to come in. Normally I would have stayed after my eight hour training but I know Monday was my kind of catch up day so I wasn’t too worried. However one of my co workers had take care of that for me and all I had to do was make some minor corrections and the day rolled right along. So over all I have to say Monday was a good day. Well that’s about all for now so until fingers meet keys Hugs all and chat soon.

Saturday Update
Hello My Friends.
It has come to my attention that my site is a public one and not intended to be a lavish news report as I received a comment from someone who I will keep nameless and refuse to reduce myself down to a level like that. This blog was put in place so my friends can keep track of the events in my life. It’s obvious to me that the person who sent the comment spent a great deal of time on their blog and that’s fine. Comments will always be welcome but don’t expect me to bring myself down to a lower level because you don’t like the lay out of my blog. To all my friends I just wanted to say thanks for your support and keep the good comments coming as you know how to contact me anyway. So until fingers meet keys hugs and I’ll be chatting with you all soon.

T.G.I.F.
Hello My Friends Well it’s Friday and I’m glad it’s here. Been some week I have to say. However it’s all good. I mentioned on hump day that my check engine light came on while on my way home from work Tuesday. Putting gas in on Thursday morning the light went out. I asked some of my co workers as well as some of my Chat buddies about this and the only conclusion that we could come up with was the gas was bad or I didn’t have the gas cap on tight enough. Vehicle ( My Rav 4 as seen to the Left) is running great. I do take care of it as I did all my vehicles I’ve owned. They cost so much and with the price of gas in which I’m happy to say here in

Hump Day
Well its Wednesday, Hump day. The week started off good as the weekend was restful as well. However on the way home yesterday my check engine light came on and that started worrying me. However knowing a little about vehicles I have a feeling it’s the Oxygen sensor, should be under 75 buck or so. Got so rapped up in work today as I attended the second of three meeting this week and two of seven I have to attend a month. Today’s lasted four hours so I was pretty wore out when I got out of there and totally forgot to call around about parts. I have training on Friday to finish off 40 or my 80 hours I have to have every two years to be recertified. I will be glad to get that out of the way for the year. As I mentioned I’ve been writing about two hours every morning and things are coming along very well. Looking back on this year it’s been a rollercoaster ride from day one of the year. However I’m ready to get this one over with and head onto a new year. Father is doing well as I didn’t expect to see him make it though the year but he’s hanging in there and seems to be rolling right along. Well that’s it for today so until fingers meet keys.
