How's Your Day? - March 2013

I thought it was never go head to head with a Sicilian when death is on the line. We are working on it and waiting for my mothers response.

 

Yeah, that too. I feel for you Bro. As if the stress and anxiety of an approaching wedding isn't enough, you have to deal with this stuff.
I hope it all works out for you both.
P.S. as we say in the Coast Guard...."Stand by for heavy rolls!"

 

Same, we've known each other since kindergarten, were each other's first date's, first ever dance, reconnected thanks to FB.

 

Maybe he's looking for a birthday present for Dolly Parton?

 

I agree with Heloguy. This is about you and your future bride and nobody, not even your mother, should be allowed to screw it up for you.

 

And black, too

 

Reading about the Cellular Organization Structure. It really is interesting. It isn't a new concept by any means...it is just applying the underlying trust principles of a JIT system to different organizations working together for the greater good.

Man I LOVE how my accounting program has nothing to do with numbers!!!! (Yes this is what I learn and apply in my program...lol)

 

I know I'm late to the party, but I don't think you have anything to worry about. I worked at a place where we installed windshields and I learned a couple of interesting facts:

1. you can fold windshields in half. Modern windshields are plastic and glass sandwiches. Unless the product totally fails they don't shatter into pieces, even when horribly abused by a group of bored 19 year olds. Oh yeah, it's not a good idea to fold windshields in half. They're kind of unusable after that.

2. the urethane they use to cement those suckers in place really does its job well. Cutting those windshields out required this really loud and fun vibrating knife- or, if that was broken or unavailable (which was pretty often)- you could cut them out using a long handled razor knife. The razor knife needed a lot of force and it was really important to check no one was standing nearby in case it slipped loose.

The moral of the story is that your windshield isn't going to shatter and unless something's really wrong it's not going to fall out.

 

Now I'm thinking minivan with flames and "Worst mid-life crisis EVER!!" painted on it. What say you guys?

 

Bonus points if there are no windows in the body of the van.

 

Just heard that the Canadian country singer Stompin' Tom Connors has just passed on..R.I.P Tom..you''ll be stompin' in heaven..

 

Good news on the tooth, don't know what to say about the windshield.

 

I think depending on the glues and seals, they need some time to set.

My fiance's grandparents and brother are finally invited to the rehearsal dinner but today poor Michelle's work as the bioterrorism epidemiologist (her actual job title) went overboard with visits by the CDC, 2 new outbreaks and 3 new cases for investigation.

 

Off work and looking forward to staying off work til the 18th. Kids are all out of school on Spring Break next week.

 

Good day so far, perfect shave to start the day (B-3 SS & Personna)
Went out to the shop & set the rear wheel on my Harley.
Now counting down until the sun comes up....
and Varooom, down the road I go.
Nuttin says happy better than a BBS shave, and yer chin in the wind!

 

ugh.... worst day in a long time. lost an extremely lucrative potential contract due to unethical business from the competition, dog got loose and I had to pay $75 to get her out of the pound and got a ticket from the city for her getting out. to top it all off, I feel some good heartburn coming on... ugh.

 

on a brighter note, I am about to take a hot shower, relax and chase down a good bbs shave!

 

Got a call from my eldest brother last night. He wanted to offer his advice in my car troubles. While I respect his opinion, and realize he knows more than me about cars and probably finances, and I know that in his own way he was trying to tell me he loves me, I still kind of disagree with him on what my next course of action should be. He's in the "spend the money and replace the motor so it's kinda like having a new truck" camp, but I'm thinking that replacing the motor doesn't do anything about the transmission with 135,000 miles on it, the bad catalytic converter or the small exhaust leak. Nor does it put me in a kick-butt camping vehicle or a "livin' the good life" convertible. At any rate, Craigslist, eBay, and cars.com aren't doing me any favors on the finding a "cool" car front, and it's all getting very frustrating. I've officially moved into the "overthinking it" stage and it's driving both me and the missus nuts.

 

Glad to see things worked out with the rehersal dinner!
