Things I'm gonna do today.

[sillybilly]

Nope, its just the fish knew you were coming.

By the way, This is my first weekend off (other than vacations) in 31 years, and wouldn't you know it I set my alarm wrong for monday and it went off at 4:30. I was already up but it would have been nice to sleep in a bit longer.

My bus driving training is going well. 31 years of standing all day and now all I am doing is setting in a classroom. Can you get calsses' on you butt? Had my first trip out on a route to help out with the kiddos and a little blond haired blue eyed kindergardener boy set right down beside me and said (whats your name). I told him they call me Silly Billy and his smile let me know why I think I will love this job. If I can ever get past the dumb air brakes test at the DMV. I will not go into it here but I am not going to drive a semi and most of the ShXX (sorry) stuff on it is about them. Heck if it would give me a semi CDL I would not mind.

Billy... Set down, take a deep breath......And think !





Or just keep goin' back 'til they just give 'em to ya.
Hang in there, they'll git tired of seein' ya.

[sillybilly]

I know it will all work out Soupy.

By the way. This is the what I will do today post. First day of weekends off in 31 years so I washed my truck. First time for that in almost a year. I guess that is what regular folks do on weekends. I will get the hang of this weekends thing sooner or later. LOL

[rayc]

And you get to go fishing!

Ray

[sillybilly]

Fishing??
Oh yea! I will get to do that also.

[Soupy]

Washed your truck? Did it rain up there?

[sillybilly]

Sorry Soupy, I did not want to bring in the rain. It is coming here I heard. Heck the inside was a mess more than the outside. Pulled 3 big boxes of Buddy Ball stuff out along with other things, cleaned it up and then put it all back in. Looks clean but you can't tell as it is full again.
On a side note, We think we may be getting a grant from WHAS in Louisville for a trailer. We won't know until June but by next year I hope to be pulling that thing to the fishing tournament, with all the logos on it. Heck I would just love to move all the things out of my building so I can walk in there. Anyway we need a trailer for many reasons, but some cool logos on the side may get us some more kids and sponsors as well.

[Soupy]

That is some good news ! (not the part 'bout the car but, the trailer) .. It would make things much easier for you....
So far it looks like I'll be paying for the decal on my boat by myself...
I need more info on your group... If I do that .... well, it would just be better for me to give you the money (if I come up with any).......Ya got any more pamphlets or such that you could mail me?

[Soupy]

Well, I did it... I finally got a chance to get down to the river....
End of story.
