    When my company kicks me out the door when they close, i may have to commute for my next job.

    I have a customer that has been asking a lot of questions about my qualifications, back ground and such. Mentioned another supplier of his looking for people with my skill set.

    2.5 hours is just a bit too far for a daily commute.

    I got a buddy a bit over half way to that 2.5 hours. Maybe i could rent a room. Lol

    Getting older.... Stay with me now. Of late I for reasons I don't understand but have to blame on old age, can't sleep late. It's given me hrs with my wife that I have been missing all these years.

    We have four granddaughters. #2 is seven and #4 is two. They don’t always get along. Like the other day;
    #2: Nice coloring Honey.
    #4: Don’t call me Honey. I’m not Honey!
    #2: Then what should I call you?
    #4: Looking #2 square in the eyes says “You can call me BOSS BABY!

    I think I will be at one grandchild for a long while. My daughter says would you bring a child into this world now, and my son's wife is a young engineer they bought and had a house redone with the goal of making it a rental in 5 years, do not blame them a bit for having the goal of building wealth instead of a family. I always told them you like this life work your ass off for 20 years and you can do what you want from there. That being said a few more grandkids is why I bought the place.

    The other night my three-year-old perfected the art of the flying nut punch. He took a running start, jumped and walloped his nine-year-old brother, dropping him to his knees instantly. The three-year-old stood over his older brother and said, "I said stop pushing me." I have not laughed that hard in a long time. As my oldest was lying on floor groaning, I told him he should have stopped pushing his little brother when his brother asked. My mom says that the little guy is exactly like me. I didn't believe her until this happened. I believe her now. I can see getting a lot of phone calls from schools in the future because my youngest doesn't take crap from anyone. Schools being the way schools are now, my son will probably get viewed as a bully. My response to those phone calls will be, "did you hear what the other little brat said to my son? The kid probably had it coming."

    It sucks to be the first born. You have to break your parents in for your younger siblings. The youngest have it made

    My wife was christmas shopping for the grandson and sent me pictures of potential christmas presents, ride on toys that were pushable, petals etc. Hell no I said get the john deer electric tractor, do not care if it says for a year and a half and older buy it. And yes Grandpa took it out of the box so he could ride it last Sunday, he does not have to wait till Christmas.
