Morning All,
Fun, event filled weekend. Saw the wife and daughter off very early Saturday morning for their drive to Mobile, AL, where they caught a Carnival Cruise ship. Sort of a victory celebration for my daughter's successful first year in college. Too bad my son and I are stuck at home... His Spring Break is in a few weeks.
Saturday night was my son's final performance in the high school musical 'The Wedding Singer'. The kids did great. Amazing performances considering that they are only in high school. Some real talent there. We spent Sunday afternoon tearing apart set pieces and helping clean up. Now that the show is over, life in our house will finally get back to normal. The last couple months have been really hectic with after school and late night rehearsals.
Space - I'm jealous. I would have loved seeing that airshow. I attended every one I could as a kid in St. Pete, FL. Between the shows at the St. Pete / Clearwater Airport and those at McDill AFB, I got to see the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds almost every year. All kinds of great old aircraft came to those shows. I don't get to see airshows very often anymore, but I enjoy them as much today as when I was a kid.
Have a great day everyone.

That's awesome, david. Did he play adam sandlers part?
My boss is nice enough to let me borrow an old company car he deemed not safe for his friend. It doesn't like to go into park. I figure ill fix it while I got it, he's trying to sell it, so im going to try cleaning it up to sell for him.
Its a 01 expedition with 260K miles

No, that part was played by a senior who is a great musician - plays the guitar and has a great voice. My son is only a sophomore; he has a great voice but isn't a guitar player (yet). Even though he wasn't a lead, he got to play a bunch of solid supporting roles throughout the performance, more than any other underclassmen. It was great fun for proud Mom & Dad to see him up there.
Any word on how long Eleanor will be out of commission?

Eleanors old engine should be coming out today, then he's gotta switch the parts from it to the other new buick engine. Clean the old crap out of it. (He told me the good news is he knows what he needs this time) so... wed or thurs
Im going over there tonight to change the timing belt in the family camry so my mom can make a safe trip to illinois.
Its good that your son got the experiance of being on stage. The good news is that with further encouragement and some guitar lessons, hell be the lead in many more performances.
Paradox, I have never seen trublood... I don't have hbo so I don't really watch all the series involved.
You say its good?! A drama? Horror?
