especially active today. You'll want to embrace fresh ideas and concepts. You
love to expand your knowledge about different subjects. You enjoy gaining
expertise on many topics. Pay attention to someone around you who could teach
you many interesting things. You might find that this person is willing to
become your personal mentor. Be receptive to their teachings, and you will grow
in some new directions.
The folks are on the road back to Lewisburg, We rigged up a temporary back porch/gangplank with the leftovers from the deck, now I can leave the back door open so Rocky can run amuck in the backyard.
I got called out to work last night at around 7:30 and didn't get back in till about 1:30 this morning. Electrical contractors were putting conduit underground and snagged us. While working in a guys backyard he came home and pretty much pitched a fit because we were parked in his driveway. It's a good thing he didn't see the two foot deep hole in the backyard. We spliced the line and filled in the hole, but I'm sure he'll call in about it. While repairing the line a couple of more calls came in, one was up in Proctorville OH, it ended up being a bad connector, it had been bad since construction had done some work in the area, but noone called in until about 8 PM. It took till 11 to track down that problem and fix it. Next it was off to WV, a truck had torn down a line, so we got it and it was time to head home.
On the agenda today is a Walmart Run and who knows?
I need to get a haircut, I'm starting to get the Warren Zevon look going again.
The pager's already gone off twice this morning, so I think I'll have some leftover KFC, coffee and a shower.
oh, andsharkbait, I tried to get a picture of rocky asleep on a pillow on one of the end tables, but he saw me and jumped off.

You only knew one or two Republicans as you were growing up. You actually know someone who has sold their vote for a bottle of liquor. You've never seen a local ballot with anything but Democratic candidates. You think Senator Byrd should be nominated for Sainthood. You've seen Senator Byrd's name on a sign in front of a bridge or highway construction project. You know what commodity cheese is. You've been asked to give someone a ride to the post office on "check day." You know what "check day" is. You have avoided the post office on "check day." You've seen a picture of John L. Lewis hanging on someone's wall right between the picture of Jesus and JFK. You know who John L. Lewis is. You know what a Tipple is. You know what a slate dump is. You played on a slate dump as a kid. You know someone who actually did go to Pruntytown. She same guy got his head shaved and "fell down the steps" at the court house a couple of times before being sent off. Everyone who works at the court house is related to someone else who works there. You sometimes call a paved road "the hard road." You know someone who has driven to a neighboring state to get "real beer" instead of the 3.2 stuff. You've bought fireworks from the same guy with the real beer. The state where this guy went might be called "O-hi." "Vacation" means driving through Wyatt on the way to Morgantown. Down south to you means Kentucky. Stores don't have bags; they have pokes. You cook green beans for hours. You know what a real tomato is, and have a recipe for candy ones. Your parents have threatened to have you sent to Pruntytown. You can watch someone order a hotdog and know in what part of the state they live. You know that Serpent Mound was not made by snakes. You know at least one couple who went to Virginia or Maryland to get married. You can change the oil in your truck without ducking your head. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from West Virginia. |
