Re: IBOATS GET TOGETHER
ok, here's the sad story.<br /><br />my employer is "consolidating" my position to our new san diego office. everybody else here (in the indy office) has already been canned or shipped out. I was of course, offered to keep my job and relocate, but,... with no cost of living adjustment. i sniffed things out a bit, to look for comparable living arrangements. my shed in the hills of s. central indiana was $126K 5 years ago. almost but not quite comparable place in the san diego area (feb 2001 when i last checked) was $1.025M!! turned down their offer. I was asked to stay until the lease is up on the indy facility. use the time to train my replacement. not a problem. decided to do that. the interesting thing is, my replacement, i really like the guy! kinda feel sorry for him. he already bought a place in san diego. now he's got a 2nd job so that he can afford to live there. he spends about 1/3 of his time in indy. <br /><br />anyway, as may have been discerned, i've been looking for a new gig for over a year now. no luck yet but still hopefull. IF something comes along in time, NO question 'bout it! i/we WILL be there. if something doesn't come along, well then,..... well, lets just play-it-by-ear and assume i'll be there.<br /><br />on a more cheerfull not, kid number2 picked up a junk 3-wheeler a while back. saturday, i got her goin'. both of us were THRILLED! 'bout 9:25 pm i couldn't stand it -no-more, so i hopped on & took her for a spin. 'bout 9:30 pm i was layin' in a ditch, on my back, with a three wheeler on top of me. 'bout 12:20 pm the doctor told me that both, bones in the left fore-arm, the "radius" and the "ulna" are broken. <br /><br />lots of good news though.<br />1- i get the "cast" put on today.<br />2- the three-wheeler is Fine.<br />3- the good lord saw to it, in his infinite wisdom, not to let the head, back or neck break.<br />4- i didn't have to cut or split any wood yesterday<br /><br />Lake of the Ozarks this year. <br />Really lookin' forward to puttin' faces and hand-shakes to these odd handles.<br /><br />Pullin' a toy? we'll see what develops before i commit to that.<br /><br />Good Luck (to us ALL)<br />HAVE FUN<br /><br />p.s. read this slowly. typin' this with one hand took a while so i want it to last.
