Why Is It

Good morning to all you out there. This morning is working on being a very cold day here in North Texas. We have freezing temps coming in about an hour and we have rain now. Well you know what that means...I have to go to work in this as so many times in the past. Only once or twice did I get caught in bad weather and I vowed I would never do that again. I think I am going to try it this morning and see if I can make it in. I believe the going home is going to be the big deal today. We will see and you will get a full report of that later.

I got up anyway...pending bad weather and all...started the coffee and took my shower. This morning unlike most I turned on the TV to listen to the school closings to see if they were shutting down. If the schools close I will too. That was not to be but it sure brought back memories of days when I was in school and it would snow or sleet and I would wait to see if the schools would close. It was so exciting when they would announce the closing and we could go out and play in the snow. Those days have long past and now if it snows I dread it. Now I long to graduate from work and move south to where there is no snow and the sun warms your soul.


Last night I made it to the chat room and actually got to type to some folks. I did jam up every once in a while but overall I did OK. I like to type to my friends and see what they have been up to. When I don't get to communicate with them I miss them...how strange...we are all so far apart but when you are typing to one another it feels like we are setting with each other having a conversation. What is really amazing is that we are all so scattered out. North South East and West but we all are in the same little chat room visiting and having a good time. Yes I miss that when I can't be with them. If you have not visited our chat room please do. We would love to talk to you and find out where you are and share some time together. We are on the RV-Dreams web site main page under chat.


Not much else going on today in my life. Sherri is still gone and I miss her. I need her guidance in all that I do. I don't know if I have done things right unless she is here to tell me. I have a pretty good idea that I have not but it is better if I know it for sure. I will just have to do everything wrong so she can correct me later. You know you may laugh but I bet there are those men out there that feel the same way. You know that what you are doing is not the correct way but you go ahead and do it so that the wife can correct you later. It happens to me in the parking lot of all the stores we go to. Sherri always tells me that when she comes here she always parks here or there for this reason or another...I got to thinking one day...I always drive when is it that she parks here or there?? The sad part of that is I listen to her and believed it for all this time. That shows you how slow I am...


OK it is getting close to the time for me to head out of here. I better get an early start so I can get behind the pace car on the track. I just hope we don't have too many yellow flags on the way in. I don't mind fighting the traffic it is the wrecks that get to me. Just setting there and waiting for them to clear whatever and wasting all that diesel...that I could be using to travel to great destinations....here I go again...my mind wondering off....

Joe,
That is too funny, when we got to Wallyworld I park where ever there is a spot. If Bridget is with me she says what are you doing, I always park by the lawn and outdoor, it's blah, blah , blah. So that is where we park if she is in the truck with me and if I forget which I often do she lets me know.

Stay Safe

That works the other way around too. I usually get told where, when, how, who, just never seem to get it right. Take care. I hope you get home ok.

I learned a long time ago to keep my "parking" directions to myself....makes for a much happier "parking" experience! LOL

When I went in to work last night (here in Temple, TX) I was wearing short sleeves. When I got off this morning, I thought I would freeze to death before I made it to my car! The weather here can change so rapidly. I should have known to bring my coat.

Speedy - here is my trick for finding a parking space in the parking lot. Before I drive into the lot I always program my car to find a space close to the main door and then I drive in that direction. Amazing I usually find a place close to the door and if I don't-------I just drive around until one opens up.

Oh dear, Speedy. I always park by the lawn and garden too, like John (FD5). It is the only place where there is a shade tree, and I call that "My Spot", of course I usually don't get it! But then I know roughly where the car is and don't have to go hunting all over for it.
Of course there was the time that I was just about to call the police and tell them that my car had been stolen, as I couldn't find it anywhere. Just as I was dialing, I realized that I was driving a different car, one that I usually don't take out of the subdivision!
