KISS MY A** former boat sales place in RW.

On Thursday morning my FIL (who was watching E) gets this call from a law firm from a near by town saying they wanted to talk to me. He told them that I was sleeping and they said they would call back at 5pm. And call they did. Apparently the place I used to sell boats at is getting sued by a former customer and because I sold the boat during this deal, I now am involved in this law suit. This means that instead of sleeping and getting ready for work on Monday of this coming week, I get to be in court at 1pm to testify about this damn boat sale that happened almost 3 years ago. This particular job I really liked, and the customers were great. The owner, however, is a giant douche bag and a crook, and should be residing where I now work which is JAIL.

The man is a huge crook and has that rep all throughout the area. And still people still buy boats from this prick. We did not see eye to eye and had many disagreements. I left this place almost 3 years ago and have not spoke with anyone from this place (with the exception of Joyce, who is a wonderful lady) since I quit. The owners screwed me out of a lot of money when I left and I would gladly punch this guy in the balls instead of shaking his hand, if I saw him out on the street. So I am not to happy that I have to testify in court to help this douche out. I wish I could tell the court that he is a piece of crap and that he is lucky that he is not sued more.

I can't believe I have to go to court for this dick, and I haven't even had to go to court while working for the Sheriffs Department.

Today I got up at noon and did a bunch of work around the house. I burned a lot of stuff, I washed the outside windows, put the summer yard decorations away, and cleaned out the garage. I also started to clean out the flower beds. Tomorrow I will finish cleaning out the beds, rake and continue to burn leaves, sticks, and other misc wood pieces I have laying around.

We are also having some friends over tomorrow night for a bonfire (see I can spell right with a little help) and hopefully it will be a bit on the colder side. As I have said before, I love cool/cold weather bonfires. A nice cold bottle of peppermint schnapps also goes well with the fall/winter bonfires. Who doesn't like a little warm me up.

Have a great night and more posts come tomorrow!!

I am a MAN!

Ok so I realize that my last post was not the most grammatically correct, and thank you for making that perfectly clear. You do have to realize that I am a man and this is going to be my excuse for making the mistakes.

Work was actually good last night, mostly because I did not have to go in until 10pm. It is amazing how much better the night can go if you only have to put up with half the normal BS that you normally do. One more night and then the weekend off.

So far this year I have worked a little over 320hrs of OT. I have decided that I cannot do this much again next year. My strings are pulled about as tight as they can go and I now find myself going in everyday just to collect the paycheck. I still do my job the best I know how, but it has just lost some of the interest that it used to have. And so I will work a little less and take more time with my family next year. I was reading our policy manual at work last night and it states that we are actually encouraged to take more than the normal amount of time off because our job is stressful.......I guess.

Wow this sure turned into a "pity party" for Greg post.

Soon I will have the last picture I need of our neighbor's resided house and will post them for you all to see how our block is changing.

K told me yesterday that she and E are going to some candle party this Saturday and that means I will have a whole lot of time by myself to get work done around the house. My feelings are mixed about this. On one hand I am excited to be able to work and not have to feel guilty because K is in the house with E and I am not helping out. On the other hand I will be missing some family time that E could be outside and playing in the leaves (thanks for the spelling lesson Teachbroeck!!) I am sure that E and K will have fun and I do have the whole weekend with them.

Well I must now go and get ready for the work.

Hooray for Wednesday

Because today is Wednesday, this means that I only have 24 hours of work in 2 days before I have the whole weekend off! I can't wait to spend some time at home. We are going to do some fall clean up, ok well I will be doing most of the fall clean up while K is playing with E in the leafs (or is it leaves?) that I will be raking. Hopefully this wind that we have had the past couple days will die down some so that we can have a cool weather, fall bond fire on Saturday night. I have lots to burn and would like to get rid of some of it before the snow flies. Have any on you ever had a winter bond fire? If you get a nice calm night and have some snow on the ground you should try a bond fire. They are great.

Well I am going to take some pictures of the 2 crappiest houses on our side of town where we live. I wish i had pics from before they were fixed up. Well now they are both fixed up or getting fixed up and pretty soon our house (which is not bad looking) will be the dumpiest house on the block. Perhaps I will repaint this summer to the color that we really want instead of light gray like we have now. We also are going to do some landscaping to make the curb appeal better.

K and I have been talking more and more about trying to have our second poop machine some time soon. We are thinking about starting to try in January or February, and I am a bit excited and nervous all at the same time. I think that having a second would make us a nice little family, in a cosy little house, in our cosy little town. On the other hand I really am not looking forward to the first 4-6 months of the baby's life again. I love little E with all my heart and would not trade her for anything. I just really hated the newborn cry, the constant holding, the waking up during the night, and so on. On the other hand E did things when she was a baby that I wished she would do now, such as lay on me and fall asleep. Now you can barely get her to sit on the couch for more than 2 seconds. So I think we will try and see what happens.

The weather is turning cold and the leafs (there is that word again) are falling and this is my favorite time of year. Side note, I hate snow. Love the cold, hate the snow........make sure to keep that straight. Get it? Got that? Good! HA

Hasta la vista

Come on weekend......don't keep me waiting.

Today is suppose to be my day off from work but. 5 times a year we have mandatory training in the ol jail and today is one of those days. We have to be there at 8am and it lasts till 4pm. Normally these days are easy (and I am sure this one will be to) and we get done early. This training happens to be use of force training and usually is a fun day. Today, however, the head of our programs department decided she would take up the ENTIRE morning (8am-noon) talking about new programs in the jail and how wonderful she is. PUKE!!!!!!!!



I have also heard from the group last week that we do not get out early at this training and that it goes right up to 4pm. GAY! Then I was smart and decided I would help another crew out tonight and work from 6pm to midnight. OT is great, but what the hell was I thinking? So today will be a 18hr day for me by the time it is all said and done. I brought it on myself and now I wish there was a way to get out of working till midnight. How can I can I get out of this damn OT shift? Wait I have an idea.....maybe I will break a hand or blow out a knee or something of the like so that I don't have to work tonight and I would be on light duty till everything heals. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.


Last night was bowling and it went well. We had a great time and I got a great pic of my friend KQ with his balls. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new bowling shoes.

I have had the same pair of bowling shoes for many years now and I have worn a hole through the slide pad (the white part of the shoe shown above) on my old pair, so last week I ordered the ones above. I can't wait to get them. UP.S tracking says they are in RW as we speak and they will be delivered today........when I am not home, DAMN IT.

I guess that will about do it for now. I have been up since 4am and getting E's bag packed for her trip to T and H's today, finishing drying clothes, putting away things, and getting myself ready for the day.

Lets pray for a quick day.

Greg

What are the odds?

What are the odds that my lovely, wonderful, beautiful, smart, sexy, caring wife will let me get one of these?

They are damn cute and I miss not having a dog around. PLEASE K!!!!!!! THERE'S A COACH PURSE IN IT FOR YOU!!!!! Isn't bribery a wonderful thing!?

Not much going on this weekend as I have to work. It has gone pretty fast, but I wish it would be done so that I wouldn't have to go in tonight.

Oh Well.

Greg

A 2 post day?

Do you know what I hate? Cat pee. That is what I hate. I do like cats and I do like the cats we have. I don't like cleaning cat pots and the smell it creates in our damp basement, but the smell will get better when we get a dehumidifier down there again. It is all part of having cats I guess.

I woke up this morning at 4:30 AM and came downstairs. I walked into the spare bedroom that I keep my clothes in to get my slippers and everything was fine. Later, around 6, I gave E her breakfast and went back into said bedroom to get my clothes so I could wash my uniform for work tonight. What happened while in the bedroom you might ask? Well I smell the distinct odor that is cat pee. I thought someone peed on some clothes that were on the floor so I smelled the clothes, the carpet on the floor of the closet, the rug in front of the closet, and nothing.....it all smelled fine. I thought that maybe I was just imagining the smell. Then I turned around.

The spare bed had a HUGE pee spot on our nice down comforter, and I say "oh no" but still figure that it is just on the comforter and that I can wash that. Upset but not yet pissed. Then I lift the comforter up and up you guessed it, a HUGE pee spot on that to. More upset but still not pissed. Then I lift up the second comforter and there was yet more pee, and it was soaked all the way through the sheets and onto the mattress. MEGA pissed at this point.

WHAT THE HELL!!!! At one time we did have a cat that peed and we found out he was sick and that he could not hold his bladder. We put him down. I don't think that our present cats are having problems like that because this is the first pee problem we have had in over 2 years.

My opinion? I think that they are totally pissed at us because E now gets all the attention and we tend to just shoo them away.

Not a good start to the day.

Post 40

So this is my 40th post since the middle of August. I know it is not as much as some of you out there, but I still can't believe that it has been 3 months since I started this thing.

You know this night thing puts a hamper on my posting and I find myself going 3 days between posts. Not much has happened since Sunday as I have been working the last 2 days. Today I went to Rochester to pick up my new duty jacket and my cool new winter hat. Well I waited and waited for about 2 1/2 hrs just to find out that the embroidery shop had misplaced my jacket under some other orders. This equals no jacket or hat for Greg. The owner of the law enforcement shop was very apologetic and told me he would ship the stuff to my house for free. So I should have the stuff by the end of the week or the beginning of next week for sure he said.

And now for some gratuitous nudity.

Is that chick cute or what?? And she is not shy!! Every since our vacation when Uncle S taught miss E to stick out her belly, she does this pose all the time, usually with clothes on though.

Man she is going to hate me in 14 more years when I show this pic to her boyfriend. HA HA I am evil.

Thats about it for now.
