Happy New Year

Yes, I know it's a bit past New Year's, but hey, I had to say it. The boss and I went to lunch today and the waitress asked if she had to tell us happy new year. "Why?", I asked. "Well y'all haven't been in here since last year," she replied. Well she had a point. So with a first post in a while, Happy New Year.
What were the holiday's like for everyone? Well for me they brought the holiday spirit and a Nintendo Wii. Nice piece of work. It's not all action and video like the PlayStation, but it's pretty good. The best of it all, I got to see my wife and kiddo going crazy racing cows. That made the holidays for me. 2AM Christmas morning cow races...
So now the bills are all paid and we're back in the grind a bit. There are bright spots here & there. Flying over the holidays was intense and fun filled. More flying in December than the previous 3 months. This month, none yet. I'm overdue. I've had like 4 people at work ask if I've been flying lately... Reply's the same for now, "Not since Dec 24th..." Soon very soon. Have a few projects in the works.
Going to build a few ideas out and see how they work. I'll tell 'ya about them here when I do.
We got kiddo a set of tires from the local Firestone store. Nice knowledgeable people. I went all over town trying to get a set of tires. I learned something.
The only people in Savannah Georgia that want to sell you tires are at the Firestone store in Chatham Plaza. Pep Boys didn't have a complete set or the desire to look anything up, Goodyear/Gemini was just full of clowns that knew the industry from the immense year and a half the most experienced employee there had, and Sears just couldn't find a set under $500 or so. I'm not even going to go into how the Goodyear guys wanted $245 to install four tires that were $49.00 each. (Yes that's right $445 for a set of four fourty-nine dollar tires.
More abut how good firestone was soon. I don't really want to rant into next week right now. Pic of the day. A damascus utility knife by Barry Dawson. I really love good gear. This one is kiddo's. More soon.
