    Cole wanted to call momma on Skype, she took these. He’s so excited, showed her a hole he drilled in a piece of plastic.

    Tell your boss that a man on the internet wants you to stand outside and take pictures of airplanes for the rest of the day. :rofl:

    Should I make it worse?

    Yes, I should.

    He's been in meetings all morning (I haven't even seen him today) and is on vacation next week, too, so he probably doesn't want to be here any more than I do! :laugh:
