Well, howdy guys.  It has been quite awhile since I have logged on and taken a moment to say hi.  Things have been real busy at work and then of course there is always something to do when one gets home from the J.O.B.  Right now I am still involved in trying to get the basement finished.  I was tiling this afternoon.  Trying to get that bathroom operational so the kids don't have to run up and down the stairs when they are down there hanging out. 
 
Business has been good for Denise these past few months.  It would really be good if everyone always stayed true to what they tell her they are going to do.  Oh, well. 
 
Stay on top of that CA reunion in '07' Dave.  I was IM'ng with Mik this week and he said Molly regularly brings the subject up.  He says she is dying to go to CA.  Of course so am I.  It has been over 22 years since I have stepped upon the sand of a West Coast beach, and I am dying to show my boys what real waves are like.  (They only have imitation waves at the Florida beaches) 
 
Everybody get out and Vote.  CYA

I Hope You Guys Have A Lovely Weekend!!!
 
Andy Paul if you're out there I really would like to hear from you to discuss some ideas I have concerning our next reunion. Call me collect @ 909-874-4625 between 1000hrs and 2100 hrs pacific time.

Wuzzup Devil Dogz,
Well as if I needed further confirmation that I am slipping ungracefully into old age, I was diagnosed with GOUT last week.

Now that you're done laughing might I add that this sh*t hurts worse than anything I can remember in my adult life!!! I thought I had broken my toe it hurt so bad. They say I can no longer eat all the things I love soooo much. Guess I have no choice but to get back into shape.

Enough whining!!! I hope everyone had a great fourth of July. I know I did. God Bless And......As always.....

Semper Fi,

Dave

Hello everyone from the land of insane real estate.
We have finally decided our house is no longer where we want to be.
We put it on the market on Wed. morning for twice the price we paid
3 years ago. By thurs afternoon we had an offer for our asking price.
The bad news is all the places we look to move have increased in price as well.
We would love to get out of Ca. but that would mean I would have to strap
on the tools and start climbing poles again. Since the years haven't been all that kind to my body I don't think that is an option. So we
will have to wait until retirement.
I hope you all have a great 4th.We are heading to Sacramento to do some
boating, fishing etc. with the Grandkids.
Semper Fi,
Steven B.
