Tyler just left for Texas, a 12-hour drive. Well, for him, a 10.5 hour drive. He loaded up the trailer too, so that might slow him down a bit. I meant to give him instructions about driving with a trailer, but I forgot to. He'll do all right, though.

Hot. Very hot. And poor Ty doesn't have AC in his truck... I would imagine that he'll be pretty miserable until the sun goes down.... he should get to Huntsville about 03:00 or so.

Drew stayed the night last night, and he went home about noonish. Karen was going to go to work for a while, but she and I were sitting out on the front deck when Joe (from respiratory) drove by looking for garage sales. He saw we were out and stopped and chatted for a while, and by the time he left Karen was out of the mood for working, so she didn't.

I was never in the mood for working either, so I haven't done much of anything. Well, yeah, I wired a phone into the bedroom. With Tyler's help... I couldn't find my wire stripper and I couldn't strip those 22ga wires with my clumsy fingers.

Lacee and Patrick came over while Kim and Matt went to the races... traded one little kid for two bigger ones...

21:55...
Karen and I just watched Castaway... pretty good movie, but long. She got a coupla other movies too, one is Cats, which I've never seen. Karen watched a little of it this afternoon while Patrick and Lacee were here, and I probably won't watch any more of it... not my cup of tea at all.

Still not smoking, of course.

I'm on call tomorrow starting at 07:00, so I'd better get to bed, they'll probably call me at 07:00...


Thanx for being here!
