Omg how cute! *kiss* *Kiss* baby Silas.
Thank you
I have the same pic of him in one of my albums, maybe it's more visible there if you want to see him.Well late this afternoon I got to bring the wife and baby home from the hospital. It is so nice to be home in our own home. I have been looking forward to sleeping in my own bed with my wife again. As stupid as it sounds, after almost a decade of sleeping next to my wife (and several live-in girlfriends before her) I just can't sleep alone anymore. I just can't. I have some dinner in the oven and a cold root beer on the table next to my chair and it feels so nice being home.
Every now and then I mention an experience somewhere in the forum about my days as a firefighter. I just want everyone to know that I do not speak of it for praises. For every story I talk about where the engine company I belonged to saved a life, another wasn't saved. Those are the times that will torment a man the most, the ones where he can remember the dead or maimed very vividly. I apologize for being graphic but it gets heavy on my mind sometimes.
I don't understand what could be wrong. Are you able to see them in my albums? I'm puzzled :thinking:

I can't even open those. Perhaps if I add you as a friend, it may be different!
I thought we were friends, like officially. OK, I'll fix that...
Today at work, as soon as I clocked in, the boss walks up and says "we need to talk to you in the office". I'm thinking "great. what have I done now?" We get in there and there is the company C.E.O., my boss, and his boss. Uh oh... Long story short they tell me I'll be making a trip. To the Boston area. I immediately thought "Somebody's gettin' screwed...I think it's me!" Then they tell me they want me to fly up there and rent a car, stay in the hotel of my choice, and oversee a manufacturing operation being done for us. It will be several weeks before I have to be there but they told me I get $75 a day for meals the use of a company credit card to pay for my rental car and hotel stay, and a $1,000 travel bonus paid to me before I leave. So I'll be staying in the best hotel I can find and dining like royalty. For a total of 4 days. Needless to say I want to get the most from this, so I plan to go to a lot of bars/restaurants/landmarks while I can. SO if anyone from the forum here in the Boston area or up that-a-way somewhere wants to meet up and go to some restaurants/bars/ballgames/landmarks or whatever -on the company's money nonetheless- send me a P.M. I'd just feel kind of silly going to do these things by myself, stuff like that is more fun with 2 or more people. Dinner or drinks or ballgames or sightseeing is on me, I'm gonna have the company credit card ha ha ha. Any and all interested P.M. me.
Dude if you were going to be in Boston we'd party. Why can't they send me to Amsterdam instead :sad:
So tonight I went to work even though I was already on overtime, then I couldn't go home at quitting time, no, sir. I had to stay late and fix something. I get home and it's already dark so I can't cut the grass so I changed the oil in my wife's car and washed/waxed it. I also cleaned up my garage somewhat. I'm looking forward to my trip, but at the same time I don't want to get out of my comfort zone. But then again it might be good for me by getting out of my comfort zone. I actually tend to do ok when I'm out of town because I don't care if I get looked at strange or make a fool of myself because I'll likely never anyone from that place again. So in a nutshell, I'm more apt to have fun around a bunch of total strangers. Maybe I can get a nice rental car such as a Mercedes, Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, et cetera. That'd be fun. I was told tonight I'd be flying first class though. I really want to have fun as much as I can while I'm there instead of going to some factory and back to the hotel and nowhere else.

Amsterdam is too crazy even for me. :
:The rain today pretty much destroyed my plan of mowing my yard. Oh well. I finally talked my old lady into getting a bigger car for our little family. She likes a gas saving 4 cylinder car, that's fine with me until there is no room left inside because of the five of us piled inside. I talked her into a Ford Crown Victoria as our new family vehicle. It is also the police car of choice for most of the country right now. Unsightly, too big, old-person-car, you say? All true to a point but I like the roomy interior and the crash safety ratings. So I got to looking at them online last night and decided that I want one with the police interceptor package. It comes standard with high speed rated tires/suspension, higher AMP alternator, lower geared drive axle, and numerous other features that aren't really needed for a family car but I'm the king of overkill as she says. More or less, it's a big, roomy, car with a lot of power and comfort. We like to take road trips and I like to get on the interstate and set the cruise control around 85 m.p.h. and make good time wherever we wish to go. I don't like slow vehicles when I'm taking a trip, I like the thing to get on down the highway and I like safety and comfort so it wasn't a hard decision but it was hard to talk her into it. I found several low mileage ones on craigslist that the State Highway Patrol is selling for not much money and they all have the interceptor package, black paint jobs, and so on. That's cool cause I like a black car anyway. My search continues...
Tonight I have watched almost two complete seasons of Breaking Bad, I have obliterated my remaining quantity of strawberry ice cream (even though I'm lactose intolerant :crying, and I've played a few games of internet poker. There's really nothing to do here on a rainy night and this weekend has been going by way too fast.
