    It pays the bills..

    My dad was a roughneck, then a pipefitter. We would drive by plants on the Texas Gulf Coast with him saying, "I built part of that."

    Unhappy Thread

    In his defense, I was so limpy from half-foot blisters on each foot and sore legs there would have been no way to know which was causing pain. I only checked it out because it didn't go away after a week of rest.

    Unhappy Thread

    I fell during my race in Mississippi and thought I was just a bit banged up. The swelling didn't significantly go down after a week so I went the Dr. to get checked out. Luckily nothing is broken, but the muscles are hammered and I can't do any sport until it is healed. This forced me to back...

    Who wants some Steeler (Mean Joe Greene) beer glasses?

    I loved the Steelers as a kid an Mean Joe Green. Partly because my dad was an Oilers fan and the perpetually sucked. I am a defense fan. I'd rather see a defensive slugfest than an offensive shoot out. As a caveat to the statement, a defensive slugfest isn't made of offensive crapitude. I want...

    I am back in Europe. Where I can drink in public, piss in street corners, and pretend I don't understand anyone around me. We had fun in Hotlanta the last day of the trip seeing the World of Coca Cola and Georgia Aquarium, then catching a 10PM flight. Two little bottles of crappy wine and a...

    I've been traveling since Wednesday. I will work on my P/T's today or tomorrow. I'll be in Mississippi until next week so maybe, maybe we coordinate US shipping, if I'm quick.
