Back to work, again. It's pretty quiet today, hopefully the rest of the week holds out like this. I could use the chance to get caught up.
We're headed to southern Illinois again this weekend. Big family reunion in Missouri on Saturday. The Russian is trying to get me to buy a Honda Ridgeline before then...not happening. I'd rather have a Pilot.
It's supposed to be really nice out this afternoon, I'm going home at lunch to get the little Jeep. I wanted to take it to the fireworks last night but the sky looked sketchy.
BTW, the fireworks were pretty good, we stood in the middle of Capitol Street and watched them. That spot has a nice backdrop, you can see the Capitol building lit up by the display. One sequence ended up going off on the ground, though, which is always exciting. ;) Actually, I think it was the first year this company had done the downtown set, so I am trying to convince Carl it was all intentional. Now that everybody knows they can mess up occasionally, we'll all go back again the next time they set off anything, just to see what happens. Maybe next time they'll blow up an entire boat! (That did happen once...a local radio idiot maimed another guy on the lake with a fireworks display.)
Anyway, we had a nice weekend and while my house is a disaster area after it, I can get that whipped into shape one night this week. I finished the apron I was working on, and I'm ready to make the potholder tonight. Then I just need to get everything packaged up and in the mail!
Still working on waking up. I had 3 naps yesterday and I'm still wiped out.
