Good morning Lounge
How are you today?

It is hot and sticky here. Not me .... the weather :P

Yesterday I called the guy from my second job. He told me to give him a call Friday afternoon then he will give me the dates when I will work. Starting next week. With the extra money I will earn I can begin to get my finances in order.


Picture of the Day (It is a bit out of focus, but I still like it)

1. Mornin' Miss H
As you can see I missed my goal of 1000 posts in a day by a little bit :). I did go out for a hike yesterday. We walked the two mile trail at a local park. It winds around back through the woods and there are some pretty good hills. I'm in much better shape than I thought I was. I barely even broke a sweat and didn't get winded. I'm going to go again today. I was going to take some pictures, but for some reason decided to leave the camera at home.

2. Good morning Tobin
:hi: :hug:

Just by a bit :) Don't worry, you will have your 1000+ back in no time. I saw yesterday in the *Milestones* thread that I made the 28000. Oh boy, I am here way too often :blush:

I have to admit, I have am absolutely out of shape. It is embarrassing. I do know I need to do something but I am way too lazy. You are a great role model. When I grow up I want to be like you :D

3. Here are a few pics I took just a little bit ago
My favorite place to eat at 3am. It's a truck stop with a Subway restaurant in it that is open 24/7. It's the only place around here where I can get something besides pancakes and biscuits and gravy.



A view of the parking lot out back. I used to be one of those guys. Now I'm home every day.




If you're going to be like me when you grow up you are going to have to learn how to drive a 70 foot rig. You best be going to truck driving school. ;)

that you aren't driving the long tours anymore or are you glad?

Will you be my teacher? :D

11. I'm as happy as I've ever been, perhaps happier
And a big part of that is that I'm not away from family and friends all the time.

I used to teach people how to drive trucks, so I could certainly be your teacher. :)

29. If you look closely at that first picture you will see a Waffle House in the background :)
There is also a Waffle House within 3 miles of my house. I can't eat at places like that. The only fast food I can eat is Subway because I can get something there that is actually healthy.

Slowly gathering myself for work after three days of sloth. :rofl:

I had a great weekend. Went to the zoo, visited friends for a bbq, went hiking (you can see the pics in my journal).

The new job is just a second job so that I can earn some extra money for vacations and stuff I wanna do in my condo. It will sure be differenf from my main job.

How was your long weekend?

20. Good Luck on your second job!
I'm on my way to check out.
Today we will be traveling through West Virginia on the way to Kentucky.

I think those Toucans are so cute. They've got very big beaks for a fruit eater.

28. actually porsche won
but i liked the audi shot betterB-)

i tried to relax this weekend; and catch up on some housework...I did go back to Busch Gardens (i have a season pass), and during the weekend I watched some really bad baseball, basketball and soccer...I also went swimming...

and true to American tradition, many of the movie channels played nothing but famous war movies--some good (Patton) and some not so good (Midway)

42. After a slow start in the morning
opening would be cloudy and/or rainy, then the afternoon would improve. Hopefully the rain will happen during the week and be clear for the weekend. :thumbsup: How was the trip?

52. I Sympathize
Of course I sympathize with the Gosselin family of 'Jon & Kate Plus 8'.

I'm a compassionate person with warm, caring, sympathetic feelings towards all of humanity.

I am quite different from the people who were supporters or part of the evil and illegal and totally corrupt Bush/Cheney regime of thugs and cronies.

I am also so very glad that our much Beloved (and QUITE SYMPATHETIC) President, Barack Obama, has nominated a person with real sympathy and true empathy to the Supreme Court. President Obama's nomination brings us all closer to the time when the USA will be a sympathetic nation, full of prosperity, peace, gender equality, justice and love!
