They're getting so big

The kittens are 6 months old and I think one of them is going to be really big. They both are more cat than kitten now, but one is nearly the size if the older cat and he's not a dainty kitty.

Putting in some OT

I'm in the office for a while today getting stuff ready for our audit by the state EPA.

Just plain cold

When I left for work this morning the temp was 18 and the windchill was -2.

BRRR!

The first file snap is due tonight or tomorrow.  Expected highs next week are in the low 30s.  Maybe even some snow.  I guess I'll install the snow tires today.

If the ban on alcoholic energy drinks sweeps up coffee stout and its like in the bannination, I'm going to be mega-pissed.

Back to work

Out in the field again today.  I got a lot accomplished outside yesterday.  I'll pay for it tomorrow with muscle aches; but since I'll be doing more of the same, I'll really pay on Monday.

The War to End All Wars

Didn't.   At 1100, Nov 11, 1918 the Armistice to end WW1 went into effect.  THAT is what today is about; not appliance sales.

If you know a veteran, and you do, thank him or her for his/her service.

Sitting in the waiting room

At the dentist.  Going to get the permanent crown put in.  The temp has been great, I hope the permanent is as comfortable.

And, the F1 world champion is...

We'll know in a week.  But we do know it's down to 4 with Button out of the running.  Congratulations to RBR for their constructors' championship.

Great qualifying session @ Interlagos

I love watching F1 run in drying conditions.  The decisions in tire choice give the engineers gray hair (sorta like mine...)

It's Mine!

I can now park on my new driveway!  Woot!  Mrs. Bristol's car is there now and I'll put my jalopy there after I pick up a drip pan for its leaky rear main seal.  Yeah, I could get it fixed; but that requires pulling the transmission, and that's a lit of money for a little drip.

Christmas is coming!

Except for Mrs. Bristol and Mom Bristol, my shopping is finished.  Neener, neener.

Our national nightmare is over

Research

I'm reading stacks of legal agreements and resolutions researching what other places have done.  This isn't pleasure reading, we are renegotiating our 40-year old agreements with our wholesale customers.  There are parts of my job I really don't Luke and this is way up on that list.
