Chicks, Chips & Boats

I do have the on time gene, the people we went skiing with really lacked the hurry up gene. It started the first morning going from the hotel via shuttle to the airport for a 7:30 am flight. We got up at 4 caught the 5 am shuttle and were sitting having breakfast at the airport by our gate at 6. The other people caught the 6:30 shuttle and almost missed the flight, but they weren't even trying to hurry!
 
So after feeling rough Friday from my Thursday PM adventures at Rotary Club, we went to Captain Johns for seafood last night. It's an old salt crabbers place that has been around for close to 50 years with little improvements. Offshoredrillin owns a summer house across the street and 45Sonic has his Summer house on the other side of the island as well as his 50 Sea Ray at the next marina down.

Anyway- walk in, put $15 up for Keno and 1st game hit for $300 plus the 2 time bonus for a total of $600. So needless to say I had to pay the tab but since all 4 of us were a little slow from the night before it was only $240. Not bad getting paid to eat and drink! I'm not a draft beer fan but that place has the coldest drafts in the area so I was swigging them back pretty good! Sweet!!

Tonight heading to a birthday party for a good friend. I dated his daughter for a few years, a few years ago and him and I have remained great friends ever since. He's looking for a 441 Meridian right now- nice boat!! So anyway- my ex-GF/ his daughter's house was in the paper for foreclosure yesterday- ouch! I gave him a heads up because I didn't think he had any idea, which it sounds like he didn't.
 
Man Mark your a social butterfly, don't you need to save up for the wedding?lol
Tonight will be the first time I've seen these horse people since this summer and during the summer it was every weekend so there may be some drinking tonight:sifone:

NOOOOOO!

I had plenty of grandma to last a long time. Her deceased husband was a lifelong alcoholic so for her to get attention from him she would say really dumb things to trigger a response. After 30 plus years of doing that, I guess she can't stop, example: we were in the Keys and just starting to drive over the 7 MILE bridge and she ask us, "do they call this the 7 MILE bridge cause there are seven keys?"

After a month of that I just strapped her to the roof rack and rolled the windows up:sifone:

Mornin all, Picked up the wife, daughter and grandma from the airport last night. We got home and my wife feels cold and wants to take a hot bath, she starts running the water and after a min or so the water turns orange. I go down and check on the water softener and guess what the lady checking on our house never put any salt in. Thankfully the orange water didn't get into anything else and stain it. Put salt in hit regenerate last night and she is doing some test washing of some white rags this AM. Also set my appointment with my customer for 10am Monday. 5ish hour drive, so I haven't decided if I'm driving down Sunday or early Monday. Tonight is the horse banquet in Green Bay and then the board meeting Sunday morning so I'll have to set a limit on adult beverages tonight.

I'm tired, I had the quarter horse banquet Saturday night and had alot of catching up to do so that ended 1AM Sunday. After I get back to the hotel room my wife informs me that I have to run my daughters boyfriend to the airport for his 6:30 am flight. So I get up at 4 and take him to the airport when I returned My wife checked out of the room and was ready to drive back home in her truck. I stay and attend the board meeting for 5 hours, get done and go home to watch football. I stayed up till the end of the Saints game knowing I had to leave the house this morning at 4AM, so I get up at 3 to shower shave and dress, then a quick run to work. Get to Peoria in plenty of time, an hour early, god it would have felt good to sleep that hour.
I had never met the new crew we got from our customer, new buyer, new quality engineer and new analyst. So I check in the lobby and wait for the buyer, a kid looking 16 come out and yep our new buyer, new to the company, so new that the meeting room he reserved he can't find cause he never been on this side of the building. We find the room and it's booked by someone else so he finds an empty one which the other two can't find now so they call him and show up. In walks another kid maybe 22 fresh out of school and the senior guy of the three a 9 year vet maybe 30, all carrying laptops and date books. So they try hooking up the laptop to the projector system and can't get anything to work, after 15 min I say it's small group lets just look over your shoulder which goes great for 1/2 hour till his battery goes dead. Very professional group of kids:rolleyes:
Anyway I survive the meeting and get home about 5:30 and make dinner the girls show up about 6:15 to eat and my wife tells me I get to run her to the airport tomorrow for a 6:30 AM flight, which means I'll be getting up at like 4AM tomorrow. So yes I'm tired:(
 
Trying really hard to have some compassion but being I have to go to my drab office tomorrow vs catching a flight, it is really hard.

:bump:
 
Oppss- I was thinking you were going to the airport where you clearly said you were going to the airport to drop her off. Ok- your off the hook this time...
