I'm Back......

Wow....

Didn't realize I had been gone so long, so here are some updates on what has been going on. Carpet has been installed, truck is fixed and looks like new, took my pc into work and let one of the IT guys have a go at it with great results (only cost me a $25 Starbucks gift card). Had the house re roofed and a real sky light replacing the cheep plastic crap in the kitchen, and TBC was at it again, he felt the the guest bath and utility rooms were black holes as they don't have any windows so he bought and had the roofer install Solar Dome's in both areas. Then found out that the electric issues in the garage were caused by the fact that the power was 200amp service tapped directly from the breaker box in the house. Not only is it illegal but also very dangerous to do that, so now I have 30amp service tapped from the meter as it should have been all these years. Have one more coat of paint to go on the back door that I added in the kitchen and a couple of pieces of trim and some painting in the guest room and I'll be ready to post pics of them.

Health wise, it's been a rough year for me and my family. I mid Oct I pulled ligaments in my shoulder, then passed a kidney stone in mid Dec and then another in early Jan, then in early Nov my stepfather had a hart attack followed a week later by sextuple by-pass surgery on his 70th birthday and then on Dec 23 my nephew hit a patch of ice while taking his girl friend home and totalled his truck, she was wearing her seat belt and ended up with a few bruises. BC was not wearing his seat belt and was thrown out the passenger side door and then the pickup landed on him causing major injuries to both hips, and we were all worried about him getting deployed to Iraq in late Jan. OK now for updates on all this. My shoulder is good as new without needing any PT or surgery, my stepfathers doc has released him to go back to work, Mom is so glad to get him out from under foot and BC's docs are very pleased with his progress but he has already received his medical discharge from the Army.


I have also posted a new poll that will close the end of Feb.

I have updated my blog roll as well so there should be no dead links.
