Had the big wake up call this weekend - spent most in the cardiac unit in the hospital - all turned out OK - started Friday night with a "venting" at the counter with the "clowns in brown" (package screw up) - 5 minutes later almost hit head on by a police cruiser and then 2 blocks later, almost side swiped by a taxi that ran into an intersection (sideways no less!) - I blew and the ticker sent the message down the left arm that I should call someone..... Home yesterday and all ok - just need to get the good cholesterol up a bit - smoked the stress test by 3 minutes over the average soooo after an overnight, they sent me home.... and that's where I wanted to be in the first place!

Banged the crap out of my new "used" 67 rear fenders with a hammer and dolly. At least they're rust free, dents under layers of bondo and spray can primer is another story..... I also painted my 6 lug rotors and sway bar (ECE stuff I bought from board members) and cleaned up my new "used" overflow bottle.

Worked 12 hours on Friday night into Sat, went to bed for 4 hours, went to Bass Pro for a seminar (cancelled). Hung out there for awhile, then went to the new Horse Casino, used to be Bluffs Run Casino. I worked there for 3 years. They changed everything. That was boring so my friend and I went home and shot pool til 3 am on sunday. It decided it wanted to snow all day and I didn't do anything except hang out with my wife and daughter, then my buddy came over again and we shot pool and threw dart. Then I went to Bed at 10 so I could work a 12 hour day shift on Monday.

And by the way if you live in the Omaha, NE area this snow sucks! Had a rough time getting to work. Stupid two wheel drive S-10.

Ya all have a good day.

Since last weekend I got my argon/co bottle filled, got the rest of my patch panels and door hinges. Should of been out working as I have a few more welds before I cover up the bare metal. Hate to let it sit for a few weeks but instead, I took my 16 year old daughter to Reno so she could attend her mom's wedding. I hope he has more luck with the ex than I did.
