I didn't go to see it in person but I did watch a live online video stream of the implosion.

Afternoon all, upper management is not happy with how the department looks. They're complaining that we're doing work thats supposed to have been done already, last night. But no one was here last night (me) as I needed time off for my party. I could go on, but ill stop there, I think their expectations are a bit high sometimes.

Evening everyone, the fever broke late last night so went to have dinner with some good friends this evening and ended up breaking out the guitars and djembe. I love spontaneous jam sessions they always bring out the creativeness in people and you tend to remember songs you haven't played in years. I really enjoyed that the kids were there to join in, they don't know it now but they are making memories that they will look back on and cherish later in life.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend despite the weather we have been having up here (freezing rain for last 2 days, the crust on the snow is so thick you don't break through when you step on it, and I'm not a small guy so that says a lot lol)

Had to get snow tires for the burgandy monte today, some Goodyear Nordics and I am very impressed with them, they gave "Monique" a new lease on life as the wife was ready to sell her after the bad weather we've been having lol but all is good again.
