Glad it got shot down especially since it was just a "because we can thing". In my experience most people don't mind putting in extra effort to get something specific done/finished as long as it doesn't become a full time gig.

Other wrestling thoughts:
Our area wrestler in heavyweight (Fairfield) was wrestling a kid from Bishop Heelan. The back of the Bishop Heelan singlet had a cross on it...
It had the word "Pride" down the middle of the cross...
Which is one of the seven deadly sins.
I get what they were TRYING to do, but...perhaps think about that beforehand?
Awkward is when you're riding the elevator with the wrestler who lost to the class 2A 106 championship match on a stalling penalty in OT. (Against another area wrestler) He didn't have the 1,000 yard stare...closer to 500 yard.

Now I understand why my oldest doesn't hang out with his cousin who is one year older than him. He is one odd duck. Wife said it to me with no prodding on my part. Kid has volume on 11 at all times. Quiet in a room and sitting at a table, he will yell like you are across a parking lot. Reminds me a little of George Mcfly from back to the future. Awkward around everything. Apparently his mom set up "play dates" up to a couple years ago. Felt back for the kid at first but after these several days, he's even too geeky for me.
Two random thoughts for the price of one post:
--Edward Mahoneyis really under-rated as an artist.
I had no idea who that was. Had to look him up lol
--What is that dance called the backstreet boys do?
I wouldn't have a clue
Yay !!!
Anheuser Busch is still having database problems and wants me to shutdown and restart both their systems !!!!

For me I was actually surprised at how active some people I thought I had a read on are in there.
Regarding extra work......Americans work longer and harder than any other country in the industrialized world, by far. Most European nations have a 4 day workweek, and much more vacation time than we do. This may help explain why, at least until lately, the U. S. was head and shoulders above everyone else financially.
I'm salaried, too. My company doesn't make unreasonable demands on my time, and for that I am grateful. But I'm with the group who doesn't live to work. Work, to me, is a means of funding those activities that I really want to do.

1. I also had to look him up and he is under-rated. he's had a plethora of hit songs.
2. I don't know the name of the dance but they were pretty talented as dancers. As musicians, not so much.
3. The Facebook commenters are a caring bunch. My rule of thumb is that if somebody wants to talk politics, I probably don't want to talk politics with them because their mind is already made up and it ain't changing. I generally like engaging with most people though and I'll happily switch the topic.
Maybe that will make their beer taste better. Wait. You like Budweiser, don't you? Never mind.
I knew I should have had a bloody mary this morning instead of going to the gym.
It is going to be interesting to see how my generation handles this. We are now the largest generation in the workforce so do we fall to the status quo or promote more flexibility.
Engineering week=endless food for engineers.
I got a bike trainer last year and used it almost every weekend (can't leave it up during the week due to space). With doing FXB and time I have not gotten it out yet this year but might have an opportunity this weekend to do so.
Randomly looked up Zaycon to see what they have soon. See pork loins for $2.99/lb on the 6th...then I notice that it it sold out and I can't make it to Ames/DSM area on the 5th to get it there.
