Da Winter Blahs
It's hard to get motivated this time of the year.
I have plenty of crap to do, I just don't want to do it. Jeep needs an oil change, new Ipod screen to install, the Diesel Project is stalled, the damn slot car track still doesn't work right, and the weather is shitty. If there was at least a modicum of snow, we'd get out on snowshoes. It's too damn early in the year for mud boots. I did have a laugh this morning when the new guy called me and asked if the annual inventory was always this effed up. Nope. It started being that bad once we moved to Beaufort. He told me management said 2.5 days. I said you'll still be counting Thursday of next week. I'm going to see if I can find some cheese to go with this whine. If I can talk myself into doing it.

Yah.... I hear ya. Especially right now. The mad rush of the Holidays is finally behind us, boxes are packed, relatives are sent away....and now reality sets in. "Oh yah....where was I?"
It snowed last night. Not enough to stick long, just enough to make me not want to go spend time in my freezing shop, wrenching. I'd much rather feed the wood stove and pet the dog. As long as Mrs. 2LZ can hear the laundry machines from her office, it's good cover.....

I did get off my ass and do the Jeep. That used up about an hour. Guess I'll head into the basement and see if I can eff up the Ipod again.

This year, it started last Tuesday and manglement thumped its' chest and said it would be complete by noon Thursday. I guess they meant next Thursday. I did get out roller skating with the grandsons yesterday and had a pretty good time with them. I can still skate, sort of. Owen, in his Hawks Jersey. Eli mugging. Wish I had at least some of his hair. Owen cruisin' for chicks.

Loved roller skating when I was young. Small town skating rink was a gathering place on the weekends. Never could get any good at backwards though.
Here's my view, preparing for my nightly ass-whoopin by Mrs. 2LZ. As stated above, dominoes is a nightly deal for us when locked down for the Winter. Beats staring at the tube. Pic taken last week. The little tree is now packed away.
