I'm not against diesels in general, I've owned a K3500 w/ the turbo 6.5 that had a wee bit of "waking up" done to it. It ran better and still had fully functional emissions on it and didn't act like a black smoke generator. The same with the TDi jetta- that car would keep up with a stock VR6 Jetta all day long and pull 45 MPG while doing it. I have a strong dislike for the black smoke belching 'bro-dozers'.

you want me to dig out the recipe my mom's friend gave me? and i believe it was her mom's but she modified it because she's gluten free like me. I've only made it once but it is pretty good.

Good Morning to all.

So, as to the job interview I had on Thursday morning. My apologies that I haven't posted any updates since then. The interview was with the Chief Information Officer of the company. The Manager of the hiring manager for the position I am interviewing with. This was my 3rd, and final round of interviews. I have as yet not heard anything back, I expect sometime early to mid next week I will get the results. I have no idea if I am the only candidate, or if there may be others. Every other company I have interviewed with, at least one of the people I interview with says something like "We have other candidates to interview, then we will make the decision", or "The team will be meeting next week to review all the candidates, and then make our decision". Also, up until this company, I have only interviewed with the HR recruiter and the actual hiring manage, that's it. With this company, no one has ever mentioned if there are other candidates. I have interviewed with the HR recruiter, the hiring Manager, one of his peers, and now the CIO (their Manager). At the end of Thursday's interview, the CIO made an interesting comment. "You're obviously a top choice candidate, as I rarely interview anyone. Very few of our candidates get to the point of interviewing with me, most never get this far in the process." So... I am extremely hopeful this will prove to be the One.

As always, thank you all so very much for your kind thoughts, prayers, and support. It is now 13 months... never expected we would have made it this far and not have lost everything. hope you all have a great weekend!

Before I get sewing and forget…
I think it should work with regular flour, same measure, and forget the xanthan gum. That’s something needed to replace the gluten.

Not a fan of the bellowing of black smoke at the light either. I see trucks like mine doing it occasionally and always wonder what exactly are you asking of a truck. They come from the factory so strong now you can pull anything you want and not choke everyone around you. And they actually don’t do bad on fuel my 1ton running unloaded gets better mileage than our Tacoma on a trip.

We picked up the wife’s new car this morning. I say hers because her cell phone is paired to the cars Bluetooth.
