White Poop

WOW! LOL! I cant believe it. My mom was at work, and went to the bathroom, and a White Lincoln log was floating there.

My question is.........HOW IS THAT EVEN REMOTELY POSSIBLE?

Did she drink liquid paper? Eat too many eggs? Drink 4 gallons of milk? I just dont understand, but its hilarious!

Work

Things are generally going pretty well at work. Until last friday. I've been working nights and finally have been getting used to it. I had the opportunity to work on a large tool on my own. It was going o.k., a bit slow. Then as I got to the end of all this work, someone said. you did it wrong, its no good.

Well, I wish he told me sooner but ........DANG IT!

I misinterpretted some code. You subtract 1.5 mm from the TA in this line of code. (how much comes off the bottom). but you have to adjust your L to +.5 or so. (cutter compensation from bottom). I had it at zero, and its not good.

Working on it now though for "retraining" in the day shift to fix it with someone. Ouch.

Sometimes all you can do is move on.


Veterans day

Saturday, I spent the day with mom. We drove to Elkin, NC to look at some embroidery machines. Its an expensive investment for her, and an important decision so I'm trying to help out.

As we drove back on the expressway, I seen the hazard lights of a line of cars for a funeral.

I look to my right and saw l young woman crying her heart out, her face all red, and in the passenger seat was a very somber elderly lady. When we got to the front of the line we saw the back of the Hertz. The coffin was draped in the American Flag.

My heart sank and I had a tear stream down my eye, it came out of nowhere.

We get preoccupied and stressed out over life, that we often dont think about the sacrifice of our soldiers.

All I can say is "thank you" and thats just not nearly enough.

Been Sick, laws of the land

Well, been going through alot.

I'm trying to sell my land in Idaho and going through mass confusion, frustration, and hell. Apparently, having your name on it as owner is not enough. Before Dad died, he put my name on it so we both own it. Now that he passed away I own it, yet not allowed to sell it? Stupid ass laws making me angry.

Now I have to find a lawyer to go through some Probate thing. stupid.

I found a lawyer, she told me she cant help out because shes not authorized to practice in Idaho. fun.

I have to get this done because someone wants to by that plot of land and hes waiting. This could take months and lose the sale. I've had a bad flu for around 2 weeks during this time too. I had to miss a day of work, I havnt done that in a long time.
