Dang It...

... I have a few minutes, Jeb is upstairs watching Johnny and the Sprites and Sophie is sleeping. I've had an eventful couple of days.

Wednesday I took the day off and headed down to DE to help out Roger at Henry's. Rick was on vacation. The trip to DE coincided with Kris's planned visit to Blaz. So, the whole family loaded up and headed to DE. Dropped the family off at Blaz's, got to Henry's around 11:30. Got a few repairs done. Hopefully, it was enough to give Roger a few days without much of a repair load. Back in the days of working at Henry's there was nothing worse than being in the shop solo and having to get repairs done in addition to normal shop stuff. It was kinda fun working in the shop, like old times.

Left the shop and went to Capriotti's, our favorite sub shop! Brought subs to Blaz's for dinner, YUMMY! Stayed at Blaz's until about bedtime. The kids were TIRED! It was great to see Blaz, I haven't seen her and kids in a quite a while. Jeb and Cora played all day and both were all tuckered out. Thanks for the hospitality Blaz!

Friday, snowstorm coming, I ended up driving to work. There was an outside chance I could meet Chef at the Mohawk House for a pre-St. Pat's day celebration. By 12:00 there was about 3 inches on the ground and the office closed at 1:00. I guess no bagpipes and irish dancers, oh well. Dang Snow! It took me 4-4.5 hours to get home. I did stop and get supplies, corned beef and cabbage, fish and chips, Guinness and Harp.

Saturday, Derek and family were going to join us Saturday for some St Pat's day festivities but Derek couldn't get a flight home until Sunday, dang snow! Ended up having Corned Beef (CB) and Cabbage with just the family. I don't think I cooked the CB long enough, it was kind of chewy, I guess the 3 hours wasn't enough, Dang Snow! I noticed the beers weren't very cold, hmmm?

Sunday, I get up and see a note from Kris, she got up earlier and went to work. The refrigerator was not cold. In fact, it wasn't working at all. Dang refrigerator! Spent the morning making "ice boxes" out of the snow on the deck.

(I'd put a picture of the "ice box" in here but, the camera took a digger the other day)

It looks like Jeb and I are going to have "soft" ice cream for lunch today!
