have had agreat month playing blogshares....started the month as the 82nd richest player, went premium on the 4th and ended the month as the 19th richest......fun game if you haven't checked it out you should....link is over there on the right...easy day but that was partial because of one of todays loads got kicked to tomorrow and a 7 AM load time....drat....am going to call it early tonight....it has been a veryexhausting week and i need my beauty sleep....oh lord do in need beauty sleep.....

just a very busy day, had quite a few ordeers drop that were on back order and really busted tail to get thme all done, and got pretty close to caught up, would have made it but spent sometime working out a schedule for resin for august and september..........really didn't feel like i had the energy to play golf, but ended up doing some yard work....if i hadn't cut the grass tonight i probably would have had to get a baling machine in here, with all the rain over the last week or so it's growing like a weed, but it's better then the burned out brown it often is this time of year....

i thought yesterday was strange, but it couldn't hold a candle to today, got hung up on the closing of the end of the month, had a computer glitch which cost me time, and numerous other problems....need to get to a bunch of things tomorrow that should have been done today....and still have to find time to do my clerk's job.....weather was nicee tonight really need to do some yard work but no energy...had a rehersal which was a little strained....but bumps in the road are what makes life...well interesting...if not always a bed of rosses.......early in and i'm dead tired...i'm outa here

boy what a wild day today turned into, i expected it to be crazy but it was nuttier then i could have imagined. but tomoorow is another day and i think it should be a bit less crazy.....alone this week as my cleck is on vacation....hope he has a nice week.....but i'll get even with him when he gets back (hehe)......first really nice night in a while but i was just to tired and to tight to play golf tonight......hopefully tomorrow.....just kicking back tonight.....watched a john wanye movie on video, and now half watching the made for tv golf match that's on......plan to go to bed early tonight.......see yah

boy am i bored tonight. i'm actually watching the movie G.I. Jane......i've actually think i've finally lost it........but it's the best thing on the tube tonight......what does that say about the rest of tonights line up

went in to work briefly this AM, just long enough to get numbers in the system, next week promises to be a wild one...i already know about 4 truckloads and my clerk is on vacation so unless i can steal some help from production from time to time i will be on my own...always a treat...it seems like everytime i have to work a week without help it turns ugly...oh well .......i haven't taken any vacation this year other then a half day here and there ....maybe i need to take a few days and just get away from it....i feel beat down both mentally and physically......i never had a problem with the physical part of the job before but my age is starting to catch up with me and i just can't "go" like i used to......i'm actually in pretty good shape for being 55 but i'm still 55......just don't recover the way i used to.....(/pity party).......weather was unsettled today and just hung out......was going to play golf late but it rained just long enough and just hard enough to take that out of the picture......didn't slept particularly well last night so i think i'll call it an early evening.......

originally i didn't have to work tomorrow but they went from 4 to 6 days and since its month end to boot i'll have to go in for a couple of hours...nice day today....played golf afterwork and didn't end up keeping score...i totally melted down...just could not do a thing right tonight but really didn't care as it was a nice night...feel okay tonight but am quite tired....nothing new...everything is same old same old......

weather is still cool, damp and unsettled, it was nice in the late evening so maybe we've turned the corner on the bad weather, at one point in the late morning it rained as the old timers would say cats and dogs...unluckily i happened to be unloading an inbound at the time and there was a gap between trailer and dock, and every time i crossed the dock plate i felt like i was going thru a water falls, 36 times thru that.......even with a cover on the roll cage the wind was blowing hard enough that i got soaked to the skin.....and got chilled.....i didn't feel particularly well this morning anyhow and that really was the topper, but feel much better this evening but feel i could use a goog night's sleep...here's hoping i get one...but there was some good in it ....lets see 36 showers...now usually i take one a month....no showers for 3 years....(hehe)

i was reasonablely healthy all winter and now it's summer it's nice and i don't feel well, the past fews days have been a real drag......left work a little early and have just laid around since....i have no energy.......it think i have a bit of a cold but nothing major just don't feel well......really nothing happening or really nothing to say....this entry out of force of habit.....

weather is still unsettled and i'm still feeling the affects of the unsettledness in my joints....getting old is for the birds...but the alternative is worse so i guess i'll stick it out....had a rehersal tonight all went well.....i'm tired and have an early in tomorrow so i will call it a night early....

damp and cool again today which wasn't to bad, it's been so dry that we need the rain, who would of thunk it after the wet spring we had......but it is playing hob with my joints....no book tonight it hurts to much to type.....i think that at some point i may try some voice recognition software.......i not a great typist even on a good day...and today ain't one of those.....got a great nights sleep last night and i think i may nod off early again tonight...even though i don't have to get up early tomorrow......insanitygirl's daughter is expecting and is apparently having a problem...my thoughts and prayer go out to both tonight....(link to ig's blog over on the right there).....
more to say but the hands tell me i'm done ....night all

it was nice this morning but turned damp and cool this afternoon, which gave me an axcuse to do what i wanted to do any way which was to veg out today, i did sqat, nodda, nothing........really didn't need an excuse as i didn't feel well most of the day, but am feeling pretty good tonight...stayed up way too late last night, never went to bed til after 1 AM.....heck i don't even stay up that late on new years eve.....watch the coverage of the British Open golf tournament...won by a complete unknown...this kid is a rookie on the US tour and this best finish in 16 events is a 13th, which was at the western open which got him and invite to the British and he won...amazing.....really tough course to boot.....have been playing who's chair is it with cat lilly today....everythime i get off the puter chair for any reason i come back to find her in the middle of it looking up as if to say i'm so comfie here your not going to make me move are you.......need to get some sleep tonight so i'm off

had to go into this morning to work to put in the daily production numbers, first saturday in a while but slow season so productions only been working 4 days and we got some good orders so they'll be on 6 days for this week and next, with being out yesterday PM there was a new schedule out so i took the time to run my resin schedule report....it had been a little tight but looks good now......ran a few errands....played a little blodshares....watched a little tube...but could have kicked myself about 2:30 remembered that this was the weekend of the duck and decoy show up at the river.....wild life art and carving.... but was to late to get up there and have any time to walk around and view it....maybe i can get up there tomorrow ...last day......i got two birdies playing golf tonight....unfortunately ( for the bird) one was with my car as i drove out to the course....a flock on sparrows flew right across the road in front of me and the last one wasn't quick enough, fortunately for me it hit the grill of the car and not the windshield....i doubt it mattered much to the poor bird where he hit but it did to me.......just relaxinf tonight and about to hit some of my fav blogs.......

ligth day at work for a friday,,,,took afternoon off...paled some golf aand kicked back, a little blogshares....a little tube...need to check some blogs.......

what a screwie morning, i was on a dead run til noon...had one inbound, one outbound and several headaches...i got the inbound taken care of, he was waiting for me when i got in....went to open the door to unload the transfer and discovered that when the exchange was made yesterday the driver forgot that the trailer was a swing door and not an overhead and had pulled the trailer against the dock without opening the doors, nuts......called the trucking company to get that taken care of....then the outbound came....i do hope that there is a special place in hell reserved for anal retentive truck drivers.....and i was tempted to speed this guy on his way to that spot....usually it would take me 45 minutes to an hour to load a full out bound and it took almost two, this guy was looking ovcer my shoulder every minute and keep chnging his mind on how to space the load so it would scale, now i've been man and boy about 25 years on the shipping dock and have loaded 1000's of trailers and know what i'm doing...but this charcter was like andold maid aunt and it had to be done just his way...which i might add was ass backwards and if i was of an evil twisted mind i would have called out the DOT on him after he left because i doubt the load would scale the back axle withou a bunch of messing around...dang.....(/rant)....

feeling much better this evening, have one outbound and one inbound but they should be in the AM.....maybe i'll takea half vac and play some golf, weather cleared off and was nice this evening but i was tired and decided not to play...wrote so poetry today and it's over here if you'd like to take a look, but it's quite "down"....so don't read it unless your ready for the trollie blues......i tend to write poetry on days when i'm in a down mood .......it's one of the times that the muses seems to be the strongest......if i'm in a good mood and the muses hit me it's usually a lymerick, i think it may be against the law to write a "down" lymerick (hehe)....i know for me it's impossible......

damp, and dreary day here , and i feel worse then the day, walked right into a mess first thing this morning, before i had my eyes open, between an outbound, a material problem or at least a potenial one which required a bit of research and 2 inventory problems.....have that settled but have a second outbound this PM or i'd be outa here.....i feel like somebody poured quick drying cement in all of my joints today......and my attitude is in the crapper....other then that i feel fine.....blogshares is on the fritz so i won't have that as a deversion tonight so maybe i'll go downtown and roll sailors (hehe)........

ice day today would have loved to play golf but had a rehersal at 7 and not enough time to get home eat play golf and do the rehersal...so just hung out and relaxed....rehersal went well....it's a little weird though, i'm a tenor one naturally but have a pretty large range, and in the group i'm working with now i'm singing mostly bass lines, i don't really have the power sing bass i do as a tenor but with amps it's ok they can compensate for that.....but the style of music...modern praise music is a bit if a reach for me, most of my background is classical, but i'm getting the hang of it.....have a very busy work day on tap for tomorrow so i should get to bed early tonight but i probably won't knowing me...it seems that the nights i need a good nights sleep i can't get one......off to surf

beautiful day, sunny all day but not too hot, really would have been a great day to take the afternoon off and play some golf, but....dang i hate that....there always seems to be a but....or is it a butt.....well i don't have spell check so i'm not sure...now where was i...oh yah but(t).....i had an inbound that was late that i needed to take care of and my knee was a bit tender this AM so decided....or rather it was decided for me to stick it out....all in all not a bad day as work days go...but got home an decided not to play...give the knee the night off...maybe if it had been the right knee i might of played but the left gets a lot of pressure put on it in the swing so it was a wise decision.....and i'm not known for my wise decisions particularly when it comes to sports.......part of my problems that i have p[hysically now are directly related to the fact that i tended to play sports like a total maniac when i was younger....and i have the aches and pains now to prove it.......off to do some surfing.......

spent a quiet day....really wasn't into anything big time....short attention span again.....but played golf late....played in behind two sweet young things and i must admit that i was more interested in their hip turn then mine.....i guess i'm turning into that dirty old man everyone always told me i'd become.....truth is that because of my back problem i can't make a hip turn...but they sure could....actually they offered to let me plat though but i refused .......(/lechery).......
legs are bothering me tonight...i twisted a knee at work earlier in the week and thought it was ok but tonight it's quite tender.....will call it a night......

strange morning, woke up in the aftermath of a cat fight about 6 AM.....decided to get up and feed the litttle rascals and then stayed up.....overcast, cool and damp this morning....cats have been weird....smokey is in one of her i will be petted moods....she's my boomarang kiddy this morning....i'm at the puter and she jumps in my lap purring, licking my hand and playfully nipping at my fingers...i pet her for a while put her back on the floor to get some thing done on the puter...15 seconds later she's back again......well she's now sound asleep on a pile of my smelly. dirty clothes....one of her favorite spots....i'm taking a shower and the curtain keeps moving, here lilly beating on it....so i pulled it back so she could see....and she was cool until she got splashed and left in a huff.......fat aggie has been wandering the house uttering her pathic cry....don't really know what her problem is.......dampness of the last few days has fired up the old "rhumatiz" and typing is painful this morning so i'll quit.......

has been a damp, windy rainy day.....have been in the house most of the day just kicking back and enjoying the day off...had planned to play golf today...well the thruth is i plan to play golf almost every day in the nice weather but just wasn't able to do so today, didn't rain that hard but playing in the rain ain't fun, too hard to keep the grips dry and too easy to slip with a wet grip, i have enough trouble keeping grip on reality, much less a wet golf grip....ran some errands and got a little arby's for lunch....i am basically addicted to their onion petals.....i really think that inions are my favorite veggie.....sorry about the breath......slept really well last night for a change...probably would have slept well past 8 but around that time the cats got very annoyed that their breakfast had been delayed and let me know in no uncertian terms that i had two choices feed them or die.....which reminds me it's 8 PM and if i don't give them supper one will jump up on my lap and try to butt type.......

today was a strange one on many levels, it was a really easy friday at work...which was a good thing because i spent the whole day in a fog, now grant you there are many who know me who would claim that i spend and have spent my entire life in a fog....to that i say NOT TRUE well not entirely true anyway but i digress.....i spent the entire day in a fog.....i got to sleep quick last night but then woke about 1:15 and remember seeing 2:45 on the clock before i got back to sleep....plus today's weather was interesting, the old gag about if you don't like northcountry weather wait 5 minutes and it will change was true, sunny and warm...the overcast...then windy and light rain....the sunny and cool...well you get the idea....very unstable weather but i guess that's what you get when you live near the lee shore of one of the great lakes.......have spent the evening quietly...but have realy not been able to put my mind to anything for longer then about 10 minutes....no attention span tonight....plus i fear i'm catching a cold.......am tired and ready for bed...night all........

well i had a really fun day today, had a 20 foot container to load and too much to put on it, i told but our people and the distributor that it wasn't going to all go on, now sometimes in the past i told them it was close and managed to get it all on, well this time i told them i had no chance, and then they were surprised when i was forced to leave some off...didn't draw a real go container but that wasn't the problem....just to much stuff.....and it was a blivet even leaving some off ( oh yeah blivet that's ten pounds of sh*t in a five pound bag)....was nice during the day but has rained lightly most of the evening...which was okay because my arse was draging by the time i got home and i gave me an excuse to stay in and veg....down loaded netscape 7.1 tonight, i use that browser for blogshares, and have homepage and favorites set up just for the game.....makes it a little easier....had been using 7.0 and frankly except for a few bells and whistles i see no improvement.......night all

i am in a foul humor tonight, i have a pain in the arse load booked for tomorrow, i've felt unwell most of the day although i feel better now, went out to play golf, really never got into the flow of the game, played only average....got slowed down by a group ahead which was not playing very well and one of them thought he was happy gilmore.....there should be a law against movies like that because there are to many idiots in the world who thinks it's funny (which it may be in the flick) and try it on a real golf course ( were it is not funny).........i'm tired and frustrated which is a bad combination on a night when i need to sleep well.......

just got back from my rehersal, well an hour or so a go have been involved in playing blogshares, but need to think about getting a shower and going to bed but i'm still wide awake, had the best night's sleep last night i've had in weeks....was a little less humid then it has been, rehersal went well, we've had a change in some of the vocalists and i think that the new ones will be a nice addition, ....cats have been clingie tonight, don't the know its hot and a furry thing in your lap is not what i really want....oh well.........not much to say so i'm off

damp, humid and rainy most of the day but not guite as hot, was kind of a weird day at work, the gm was out last week so i had a couple of thinks to play catch up on because i needed his approval before proceeding.....had a truck come in with a delivery, and it turned into the truckload from h*ll.....we buy lead at 45000 lbs per load, which fills up a vary small part of a 53 foot trailer, well for some unknow reason rather the parcel it out some in front blocked in, some in the middle and some on the tail, they ran one line straight up the middle of the trailer, bundled with strapping but neither on pallets or blocked in, well half way here the whole load shifted to one side of the trailer and almost caused it to tip, the driver got help getting it back in the center and blocking it , but several of the bands broke and the load as a loose nightmare...could get the forks under the bundles because of the design of the pigs (oops....shop talk...ingots which by the way weight 60 lbs a peice....30 per bundle) but barely had control over them.....well to make a long story short an unload that should have taken 1 man about 45minutes took 3 of us about 2 hours....sheeeshhh!!!!!.....i'm getting to old for that sh*t.......(/rant)
raining so stayed in tonight, just kicked back and relaxed....actually feel pretty good tonight......off to surf

i am so conditioned it's crazy....i've had 3 days in a row that i could sleep in and have been up before 6 all three days....i'm nuts.....but i'm wide awake......have my dad retired it took him probably 10 years before he could sleep past the 5:30 in the morning he had always woken up at to get to work on time......i guess we are creatures of habit....nice day.....kicked back most of the day......just relaxed.......maybe more later

was overcast and rainy this morning but turned into a nice day, i spent most of it quietly, it turned a bit humid and i felt unwell most of the day, in fact for some reason the one cat decided that i needed comfort and jumped in my lap repeatedly, now if it's one thing i don't need on a warm, humid day it's a furry beast in my lap, eat a light supper ( a little pesto and some bread) and felt much better so played golf in the early evening, the course i play usually has a cool breeze in the evening and tonight was no exception, as i walked to the 4th tee a beautiful whit tailed deer crossed in front of me and spent sometime eating leaves from one of the bushes in a thicket on the right side of the 4th hole, we see them often out on the course although this is the first sighting i've had this year, last year i had a young deer come up to within about 15 feet of me, i guess to him i looked like just another animal....although wild the deer on the course have little fear for man because they see us out there all day and no one bothers them....truly a beautiful animal....i'm tired and will take my leave

been a guiet day, which i needed, but old habits die hard, i was wake at 6:00AM even though i had no need to be and it was obvious that i wasn't going back to sleep, i had several interested parties (cats) who felt that eventhough it might be a holiday, breakfast should be served at 6:00, since i knew i would get no peace i got up and got their moring food and then just stayed up.....may premium membership on blogshares activated soon after that so i've been pounding theme a lot...a little yard work and some golf throw in for good measure......hot humid evening in the city...think i'll take a shower to cool off....nice breeze at the golf course...which sits to the north west of town and gets a bit more of the breeze off the bay......more later.....if i feel like it....and your unlucky

a little borodin, a little tchaik,a little ice water...ever humid again today....not that busy but i got pretty well "washed out" by the end of the day, and really didn't feel like playing golf....spent part of the evening setting up a paypal account....no you will not see a paypal button on any of my sites but i wanted to get a premium membership on blog shares and the only payment option ( if when there is only one it can truly be called an option) was paypal.....well have registered for premium and waiting for it to activate.....probably sometime tomorrow i hope........have not sleeped well this week... the humidity and all.....have not dug out the air conditioner yet and probably should.......night all

i am very frustrated tonight, but not anything i can talk about.....well in about 45 minutes the fireworks will start and before that the cannon will go off and the cats will be heading for the nearest available hiding place....just didn't feel like going up, way too tired....well one more day and i've got 3 off......the way i feel right now i might try to sleep the entire weekend......took a shower earlier in the hopes that i would feel better and did....for about 15 minutes....very humid tonight and i don't tolerate that well......i'm off (boy you can say that again) 1'm off ( no you idiot i didn't actually meam...well....ahhhh nuts!!!)

i am dog tired tonight ( i hope my cats don't read this they hate it when i use dirty words)....slept really poorly last night...just couldn't get comfortable.....don't have to be in until 8 tomorrow and then thursday and i'm done for the week...4 of july holiday....tomorrow is the annual concert in the park....the SSO ( sorry Syracuse Symphony) comes up and plays a concert of light classical music in the park just above where i live....one of the weird things is that over the last few years it has become traditional in the US to play the 1812 overature at 4th of july concerts.....i think it probably started with the boston pops but anyways....most years an artillary unit from the 10th Mountain division comes and supplies the cannon which is included in Tchaik's score.....well they point the damn things over the city and of couse they use blanks but they are aim in the general direction of my house and less that a half a mile away....a fact that my cats find quite disturbing ....we usually come back to find most of the cats under a bed and at least one hanging from the ceiling....well not really but they really dislike the noise..jenny who is now in that big sandbox in the sky used to make a point of bitching the hell out of me every year as if it was my fault.....well i suppose from her perspective it was but since i have no one to go up to the concert with this year, and i can see the fireworks afterward almost as well from a lawn chair in my front garden i think i'll pass......did not play golf tonight....had played 4 days in a row (no where near a record) and thought i had a rehersal but apparently it was canceled and no one told me....or i forgot.....either is possible.....i sometime thing i'd forget my head if it wasn't attached......( the sound you hear is the brook trollie babbling).......i guess i will call it at night..........
