OK thanks, that's better.

You could say you have Mononucleosis and take the rest of the week off.

Monkey butt...with a side of herpencepholgonnoritis.

I'll skip the herpe's thans for the offer though.

See how ya are your all about Dave's monkey butt but leaving the tounge twister out in the cold...lol.

That's all good I am just gonna focus on chasing lakers and salmonids in June just for spite.

Before I retired I occasionally developed OPTICALRECTUMITIS.That is I just couldn't see my butt going to work.
Now I am retired and I don't do NOTHING an I don't start until noon.
S'posed to be eighty here Friday.I'm going to the shooting range Wednesday.

Stan can I be your apprentice?

Hi Stan,

We are not far behind you on the temps... We are supposed to have mid to low 70's on Wednesday and Thursday.

Not bad for April in central WI.

Shooting sounds fun, I have some new guns to test out. 3 of em. Our range doesn't open until mid April though, so I'll have to wait.

Tzone, did ya ever get a chance to shoot your 7X57?

not yet. Now I have a .35 whelen and a .243win I have to shoot too.

Soooo many guns, so little time.

We stored dad's boat for the winter and mom and dad come and got it yesterday. Mom brought home made doughnuts. YUMMY!

And dad gave me some pickled fish. BOY UNCLE DUSTY MAKES EXCELENT PICKLED FISH!

Yes, yes he does.

He should have a lot of it, he kept a 42" northern. that's a lot of pickles and a lot of fish.

bigdrift,
Sorry,the apprentice program is limited to ladies only.You young guys drink too much of my beer and you fart a lot.

Come on Stan...we don't drink THAT much beer.

Well,

the house should have a sign in the yard today. We signed the contract with the realtor last night. We have several houses that we like, one that Betsy LOVES.

I'm all stressed out, can't sleep. I think all this moving stuff is finally catching up to me. I would feel a lot better if I had a job to go to as well, but so far...nuthin'.

Yesterday after the kids went to bed, I went for a drive. The kind you need when you're all worked up. roll the windows down, turn up the motley crew, and just drive.

hang in there Tzone, I hear you on the crew! All will work out. i've seen some greeters at walmart if nothing else.

ya know...it's not that I'll even need to have a job. But I sure feel better when I do. I don't feel like I can get anything for myslef when I don't.

Tom (& Muffy too),

Good things happen to/for good people.

In July of 2005, my wife & I sold our business in Queensland, Australia.

Sold everything else too, 'cept our home (rented it out) & by November, we were winging it to Canada, on a family 6 month tourist visa, with the intention of staying. My brother, his wife & kids were all in Canada & it was an excellent opportunity to let the cousins grow up together. Something that's very close to our hearts.

Arrived here & immediately set about looking for work.

Things were very tough (forestry/mill town), but managed to find a fit & got a really good job offer. Yeah........., but:

Had to apply to the Govt, so the business could employ a "foreign worker" over a local, compounded by serious mill lay offs & high regional unemployment.

To cut a long story short, 9 months later, yes had to also reapply for an extension of our tourist visas, I was granted a 3 year temporary work permit, that let my family & I stay + school for the kids, etc.

Lots of prayer & soul searching, but all worth it in the end.

As soon as the temp work permit was issued, we started our application for Landed Immigrant status. Another 18 months & that was done. Another quick trip, down Dave's way (MN), to cross the border & re-enter.

Whoa, now we're here for good.

Keep at it & keep trusting !!

IT WILL HAPPEN !

Paul.

Tom...relax...dude..you'll be fine...
You are no stranger to work..lots of jobs out there for the willing..relax...
