A wonderful weekend-Friday

Since I am here in Detroit Michigan where my youngest female sibling, Lori, lives I decided to contact her on my wireless communication device. She invited me to a sporting competition at which her youngest offspring, Danielle, would be performing. I accepted, so on the evening of the last work day of last week I entered my rented conveyance device and transported myself to her domicile. Her present life partner, Dennis, was recruited to trim the shrubbery at their place of worship, so it was just Lori and I left to attend the competition.
We arrived at the education establishment where the competition would be held about 90 minutes early, so we went in search of Danielle. We found her in what they called the Band room which was populated by a great number of perspiring and talkative child units, all of whom were consuming wedges of a flattened bread product covered with a red liquid substance and circular pieces of a meat product. My food processing organs began to emit random growling noises. We would have to eat soon.

After a short conversation with Danielle, Lori led me to the area where the evening's competition would be held. It cost 5 dollar units to obtain entry. Elevated rows of seating were located on either side of the competition area which was covered with artificial turf. This is obviously a well financed education institution. I recognized the odor of fire seared bovine and began to salivate. We followed the odor to a small building that was offering seared bovine and a tubular casing packed with bovine meat scraps served on bread products that were shaped to fit. I purchased the seared bovine, a small mylar package of a dried and seasoned corn product, and a short sealed aluminum tube containing 12 oz of a green sweetened liquid. This was offered for four and three quarter dollar units. What a deal.

This post is taking longer than I thought it would so I will continue it at a later date. I promise.

Back to Motown

Ok gang, I had to go back to Monroe Louisiana to finish testing the optical ring we installed. That placed me back in the deep south to wait and see where hurricane Ike would decide to hit. I got my testing done last Thursday afternoon and was told to head out to Detroit Michigan. I got here Friday night and was going to go watch Danielle (your cousin, my sister Lori's youngest) compete in a drill team competition but that didn't work out. The first hotel I checked into was having trouble with their internet so I had to find another one, which put me in a bad mood and took up too much time for me to make it. I'll be getting to spend some time with Lori and Dennis this week though. I'll get some pics of them to post too. That's all for now.

This is what I spend my time installing.

Finally

This is for all of you out there that are breathlessly awaiting a new post by yours truly (that's you Lisa). I'm in Conway Arkansas now, waiting for our customer to get their act together so we can finish this job. We are putting in 2 new optical rings for Century Communications and they have kept us waiting on them for many hours on this job. I was in Opelousas Louisiana just before hurricane Gustav hit, but I left in time to get a room here in Arkansas before all those Cajuns running north took them.
I've been in Memphis Tennessee, Little Rock Arkansas, Lake Charles and Ponchatoula and Monroe Louisiana, Longview and Tyler Texas on this job. I've put almost 10,000 miles on my rental car in the last 8 weeks. Lots of windshield time.
I'm glad to hear that Micah and DL are swimming good now. That's a must if you live in Florida. By the way, bowling is a specialty of mine so y'all practice up and when we get down there, hopefully pretty soon, I'll take all of you on.
I'm going to try and post some pictures of the equipment that I have been installing so you might get some idea of what I do for a living now.
Has everybody registered to vote? I hope so cause Barak Obama needs our support.......NOT! I'd love to see a black man get elected president, but not that black man. Go McCain-Palin.
