Random Thoughts 15: Crystal Clear 2021 Edition

These track meets drive me crazy. Middle of the day starts at 4:30. So I went to hitting the road around 4:30 am for work. I’m not a morning person so I’m still dragging tail from that stuff. Back to my 6ish awake up and 6:30ish get out of bed.

Yeah, we have had a lot of Nordic meets and soccer matches at 4:00 which makes it a bear to get to them, especially when they are away.

How I now picture @SCyclone...

That guy has a lot more hair than I do. But he looks like a champion cat-thrower.

Wrestler weigh-ins. The bane of my existance until one of them was old enough to drive over to the high school at oh-redonkulous-thirty for the weigh in, EVERY SATURDAY. ALL WINTER LONG.

Hey @Cyclones_R_GR8 , do you know a Mexican joint in Omaha called California Tacos? We saw it profiled on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives last night. The food looked absolutely awesome.

No, I never heard of it but looked it up. I'll have to give it a try one of these days.

Talked today with the prof I covered for this spring as I hand things back to her.
She asked if I'm willing (assuming they add courses) to do some more. Of course, I am. Can't say no with these job prospects.

We talked about the commute, and she's like "yeah, no 8:15 classes. No way that's any good." Amen.

I was following that on Saturday and couldn't believe they ended up on the scoreboard.

Speaking of dogs...the puppy has become obsessed with playing fetch and now constantly brings us a ball. First retriever we have had that well actually retrieves.

Mine is awful..
I need to get out and mow the weeds along with the random patches of grass.

RIP your arm.

mph we have one. It is the getting a ball constantly dropped on my lap anytime I sit down or in the morning in bed that drives me nuts.

Applicant pays their own expenses if selected for an on-campus interview. No thanks.

In 40+ years in the lumber business, I have never seen anything like this. (Not even close!) We are beginning to worry that we will be robbed - not for money, but for the lumber! Prices keep climbing, and we all felt weeks ago that things were going to level off (and hopefully start back down). That's what we get for wishful thinking, I guess.
