Hey! It's going well. Yeah, I have 14 hours I think of overtime this pay so far and then I get time and half for Easter Saturday night, so I am going to have over 20 hours this pay. I know for you, that doesn't seem like a lot, but it is for me! Lol. Hope you've been enjoying you're time off and you've had time to relax!

Oh yea, I've been doing what normal people should be doing (instead of working my life away...), and that's just doing things around the house, gathering firewood for next fall and winter, working in the garage, shopping, etc....

The shopping thing, this past weekend, I bought a new gas grill, new deck furniture (Lazyboy) and cart for one of the riding tractors.... There's one good thing that OT gets you, some extra dough to blow~LOL!!!

Lisa is just starting her 10 day stretch, working at the hospital, so she's really loving life right at the moment. I've just started a new project and it's hush-hush, It's got something to do with the CIA.. No seriously, it is... But, it's 40 - 50 hours for this week, and that's it, for this week~

Hope you feel better soon Star! I hear that warm cookies, dipped in Hot coco, are a cure to almost everything~:-D

I DID turn the air on Sunday night. Our house was roasting & it was too windy to have windows open.

We were one step away from air today, had to turn on the dehumidifier because of the high humidity in the basement.

Good morning, Ryan!

Adrian went into the woods to capture the eclipse! Haven't talked to him about it, he was still sleeping when I left for work. Hope he got some great shots of it! Glad you thought it was cool!

It was so bright when I took Har out before bed- beautiful!!

I'll have to try Carl's new blends! ️
Thanks for the heads up!

I hope he got some good shots of the blood moon, it was cloudy here so there wasn't a reason to wake up to see it.

I can't login via Tapatalk. Tells me I don't exist.

I couldn't get on to the forums at all for hours, I kept getting the "sign up for a Platinum membership" page.

Thanks, Xmas.
Unfortunately, he wasn't able to get a good shot. The lens just didn't cut it. He loved being out in the woods viewing it, though. Said it was amazing!

I know!!! I couldn't get on for a few hours either!!! It was torture!!!

I had to go to other websites, mainly about hockey, but I was missing the Christmas bunch here. I was honestly thinking what do I do if I can't get on here tomorrow, or the day after...

I was very nervous.

It is very frustrating, it's been happening pretty often. But I know Jeff is working on the site, too.

Oh yea!! Believe me when I tell you this, but even with the temperatures up in the 70's this past weekend, I was going around the house, looking and thinking of ways that I could get the lights up on the house and also trying to figure out to where things would look right.

Just the other night, Lisa and I were talking, and in the conversation, she told me that she had been wondering where would be a good idea to set the tree up in the house this coming Christmas. I said I don't really know, then I said this, (what got me a look that you would have thought that I had antlers growing out of my head), I suggested that we get the tree out now and set it up, sort of like a dry run for Christmas and then we can move it around to where it looks the best..... Well, I thought it was a good idea; LOL!!!!

That is a great idea!!!

When we were looking to buy our house, every house we looked at the first thing I did was to figure out where the tree would go.

That happened to me before, where I could not get back in at all.... I contacted one of our other members, who then sent a PM to jeff, then Jeff was able to email me thru my personal email and then I was able to get back in with his instructions...

Since then, it surely doesn't hurt to try to establish with somone (if you so desire to), some swapping of persanoal contact information so that as a fall back position, you can contact them and find if they cannot get into the site as well or maybe they can contact Jeff for you~ That's what I did, it's Just a thought :-D

It happened to me my 2nd year here, I do have the direct line to Jeff himself, but it doesn't hurt to make other contacts here. I am just so anti-social and shy away from here so I am always afraid to ask people for information.

Glad to hear you've enjoyed yourself and have been able to spend some of that money! We're finishing our basement right now and have thoughts of trips planned over the spring/summer, so that is why I like all the extra money. It's nice when the money rolls in, that we weren't planning on.

Poor Lisa...5 days in a row is enough for me, especially if I am working my weekends. It does get demanding. Good luck with your new project!
