With the end of another September we have a lot to look forward to. Welfare recipients clogging up the fucking checkout lanes at Wal-Mart! Halloween is just around the corner. What are you going to be? I am going to be a crotchety old man! Damn, I already am. Guess I'll have to choose something else. The good ones are all gone so I will have to be creative. I have a few weeks so I,ll let you know.
Now move or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll hoe your blouse down! Thanks to LTH!

The Dawn of a New Day!
Today is just like any other day. Things are broken and others are fine. Sometimes it gives me a sense of purpose when things are not going 100%. Other days I want to scream!
My security guys came out and screwed up two weeks worth of my work on the camera system in the new bldg. It was slow, but I could see it. I added RAM today and made it faster, but now I can't see the cameras. He still will not get paid for the job until they are online. Been a year now! Keep screwing them up guys! It will take that much longer!
My son, Nephew P, LOL. starts new classes today. The school seems to screw him around every chance they get, so I am glad to see this is working better than they thought. The whole IEP team was against any changes. I want this to work so I can say "I told you so!" I want to show them they are failing us! He is in football and band this year and he likes them both. It gives him a reason to go to school each day. He is a good kid, just a little mis-guided. He is too big to be handled now. This is a 14 yr old that is 6' 3" and wears a size 15 shoe. He is a little tough to wrestle down and spank!
I am learning to hate typing on my iPad. I can't move the fucking cursor when I need to! Maybe I need to try the dictation setting.
That reminds me of a funny story. The Little Rascals were sitting in class one day. The teacher asks Darla to use the word "love" in a sentence. She stands up and says, "I just LOVE Alfalfa!". That was good exclaimed the teacher. Ok Alfalfa, use the word despise. "I just DESPISE Spanky!" Ok, not quite what I was looking for but it will do, said the teacher. Ok, Buckwheat, your word is dictate.
Buckwheat stands up, looks around and says, "Say, Darla, Why don't you tell Falfa how my DICTATE!"
Otherwise, things are great. I will look hard this weekend to see what I can screw up!

What the...????
This is part 2!
I guess some people don't understand the concept of the word "FIRED". Since the last post, the band leader has fired the rest of the band and is starting over. I have received numerous texts from him wanting me to come back and re-start the band. I was nice about it and explained I did not have any free time right now. The truth, "I ain't goin' back"! Never have I returned to a band where I was let go, or left on my own. I will not start now! I miss playing, but that will change as soon as I get caught up on other things!
I have started my final semester at school, and I was hired as a full time employee by my internship. I'm still trying to get caught up money wise, but that should be done this month at pay time. I plan on retiring from here! I currently show a 3.84 GPA but when you remove the classes from 1984, it jumps to a 3.92. I just have to turn in "SOMETHING" in each class and I pass, still Phi Theta Kappa! I guess I could just make the 2.5 minimum and still pass the course at this point! I won't do that though!
Work is GREAT! It does gets more hectic here than I thought it would, mainly because I am a department of one!
I hope to be back to my old, jovial, Uncle P self very soon! One quick Uncle P comment though, and I had been waiting a long to to use this one. Last night at the lodge, we were all siting around after the meeting. I came in and took the empty chair at the table. One of my wife,s friends came back and, trying to be funny, said, " I believe I was sitting there first!" Ok, you see it coming, but anyway, I wiped my hand on my face and said , "let me clear off a place for you to sit!" I have never seen her turn so red as long as I have known her. She knew that I am Uncle P and that anything can be twisted into sophomoric sexual humor, but she played right into that comment without thinking! My dad even laughed hard at this one, as did everyone else within range!
More to come. I hope to not be away as long next time!
