VACATION!!!

This past week and until after Christmas I am supposs to be on vacation. However my work must have not gotten the memo. I went in to work during my vacation twice so far on my vacation and have ducked several phone calls. Hopefully it is all over with until I get back to work on Wednesday.





Sorry to everyone out there in blogger land. I have not been on the computer very much to read everyones blogs so I have a bunch of catching up to do. I hope to get time to comment on everyones postings soon.





Brando got her BIG Christmas present early this year. We are saving the suprise for my Mom and Dad until we come down next Saturday. So if you see them or talk to them please dont let the cat out of the bag until after next Saturday. This is what my lovely Brando wanted for about a year. I wanted something different but due to the fact that she will be the one using it the most I finally seen the light and purchase what she wanted. Here is here present :

I hope it makes a good vehicle.

I wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Voice On

Today my voice is back such as it is. I am enjoying talking at normal levels instead of straining to have people hear me and repeating myself. Still a bit hoarse but I am sure this will pass. One of the people I work with has blambed me for there scratchy throat. I wish I could call in sick but there is alot to do and not much time left to do it. As well as the projects I am working on there are several others that I have to cover due to people away for training and vacation. This week will be over soon and I will have 9 days to relax.

We watched "A Christmas Story"last night and it was just as good as I remember. I need to watch "Christmas Vacation" still so maybe this weekend I will watch it. These movies are a MUST SEE before Christmas can go on...

I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

I am down wit it.

Today when awakening I felt a little achy. I went through my normal daily routine. Getup, Groom, Dress, Drink a diet soft drink and out the door I go. I listen to NPR news all the way to work to keep up on current events and also because its the only radio station that does not fade out half way on my 40 minute drive to work. I walked in the door early to help a unit that was in trouble and was getting ready to let my boss know where I was going. I opened my mouth to speak and nothing came out. I tried to clear my voice and it was a bit better but still hardely audible. I managed to express where I was going through charades and a quick note and off I went. I am now alot better since I have taken some medicine for my throat but still pretty hoarse. I have never lost my voice before and the experience was pretty freeky. Since I am the only one in the plant that can do my job I hope the bug stays at bay and is satisfied with taking my voice for a bit. Hurry up Vacation!!!!

Warning Cache Spoilers In This Blog

Warning: Spoilers in this blog!!! Do Not read the first paragraph if your a Geocacher in my area.

What do these things have in common? Flashlight....Cache container....Brandy....? The answer is that all of the above was in my car trunk this weekend. There was a cache that we suspected that had glow in the dark writing on it and so we took said item to the only dark place that could be found in the middle of a picked corn field. It was a humorus experience to say the least. Yuri kept telling me to open the trunk but I wanted to leave it closed for a cache or two.


Now you can read this part.

We had a really good time caching yesterday. We hit several stop and go caches which are my favorite. Any cacher that tells you that they enjoy tearing apart anything and everything around a certain coord and looking a fool for close to an hour to find a cache that my be missing is lying to you. I like the quick gratification caches which might say something about me. It was a little breezy but it was still a nice day for December. I hope to see several more days like this next week while I am on vacation. I hope to get a few caches in while I am off.

If you want to know more about our adventure you can read Brandos Bloggins.

Happy caching.

Catching Up

Hello everyone out there in Blogger land. I havent blogged for a bit so I thought I would get everyone one caught up on my extremely exciting life.

Work..Loaf...Eat...Sleep.

Well that wraps it up for another exciting installment.

I finally got all the Christmas lights up including the friendly horses. They are filled with Christmas cheer. Frosty fell over on the second day and broke his carrot off. How embarrassing for Frosty. With the aid of some tape and a pencil I fashioned a splint and now his carrot sticks out with all its glory. However I think Santa is a bit jealous. Also I have now notice that Frosty has the same smile as Bob on the male enhancement commercials. Whats that all about?

The blow up snowman was stuck in a unfortunate position due to the rain and freezing. I finally had to go outside and break him free. Maybe it was a vacuum problem on the blower. One will never know.

The tallest tree had blown over and was laying quite undignified on the ground. After applying some manual assistance and a nice metal steak we got that puppy sticking straight up and erect and I was pretty excited to see it so. The little tree next to it might have some inadiquicy issues but I am sure with a little couseling we can pull him through.

I hope everyone is having as much fun this Christmas as I.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
