Opened up a beer since the work day is over.Did not have much to do due to the weather. Let my employee bring in his truck to change the oil and brake job front and rear.Good thing was he brought his own parts, oil and oil filter.

Been getting my house ready for 3 guests early this morning and that is done. My 3 good friends DJ, Alex and Randy from Kentucky whom I served with while in the Marines with are coming hopefully tonight or tomorrow morning. They know my dad passed Thursday night from me and coming up for the funeral and staying until next week Thursday. I already know one thing we will be doing together, watching the movie Full Metal Jacket and this is our favorite scene finding out this happened in true life

I woke without a plan this morning. After the missus left for work and the kids all left for school in the bitter cold, I got to work framing old pictures of my wife's relatives to hang on the wall in our hallway. After running out of frames, I decided to head downstairs and start painting the recroom from a vomit orange combination to something more neutral. I've got 3 walls nearly done but had to stop as we're taking our oldest son for dinner for his birthday.

My 3 friends from Kentucky came and brought me something, A Jim Beam sign and enough Jim Beam whiskey for a year. Knew I was working and heard the door opening up which they came in. Have a 2006 Impala on my hoist I was working on putting the engine cradle back in after replacing the transmission for an used car dealer just to bolt it back in the car which I did. Decided that was it and we had a drink together. Staying at my place
