As many of you have been very supportive of my hunt for a new job, and know I had an interview with a hiring Manager on Tuesday this last week, I promised to give an update when I had one.

Unfortunately, the Manager decided I wasn't what he was looking for, and so that's the end of the road for that position. The search continues..... This shit is getting a bit depressing at this point.

Dammit Tom.

So my wife and I did a thing, not that. We have been looking at getting into a T4R, but prices are nuts. We’re going to hang on to the Subie and put a hitch on it, for now. We did write a big fat check today and we are dept free for the first time in our lives. My kid is loving it, so are we. Neither of us are college graduates, but we managed to get her through it.

Just wish it didn’t take 67 years

Good morning, fellers and lovely ladies. It's a soggy dark and chilly rain outside here in the Mid-Atlantic. I feel like I'm back in the PNW !

The dude that sold me the dead Fox mt bike fork is stopping by to return my money and take his item back. It sucks that the fork was dead, I was really looking forward to running it to the Stumpjumper.

There's the Garage and Workshop thread, lots of good DIY projects and a few pro's that lend information. Then there's The- OZ... goodness, that guy is a skilled craftsman. I thank Susan for turning me on to that thread.

I LOL'd at the 4th gen comment. What a bunch of wankers ( for the most part) Social- status buyers... It was hysterical at some the garbage that was being posted after TFL broke their Taco while lightly snow wheeling.

GF ? I haven't cruised through ever thread on the site.. the Dumbgeon can be good for a laugh, and the green room is always a chuckle to read about who's been given a VACAY. I never would have suspected that the MODS had to put up with so much BS.

GF thread is good for those who can't eat gluten. Lots of good recipies. My grandson has Celiac, which means he can't eat gluten. I check in over ther from time to time to see if there's anything new to offer him.

You mentioned the fires the other day and just wanted to pass this guy’s account along to you. He has tons of updates on fires every day. I find out stuff from him before the local news even reports on it. I know you’re not into instagram yourself but if anyone you know is and wants info fast he’s the guy to check with.

That’s odd. Our’s did too this afternoon after getting back from the groomer. She’s now sleeping in front of the fireplace.

Edit: the floor was washed while she was at the groomer…

floors mopped. mess cleaned up. area rug might just have to be trashed - not sure i can get that much oil out of it.
and no doggie barf to deal with but i am in the middle of a quilt and had it laid out on the floor so i had to get it picked up and out of harm's way.
