Good Morning Gang. Sorry for the late posting. Woke up to 6inches of snow so I messaged my boss and told him I would be in late. I shoveled around the car and Jeep, started them up while Irvin got the plow truck ready. I took my time getting in since the back roads were rather crappy. The highway was good though.

The Patriots won against the Texans, so we are off to play the Broncos who unfortunately lost their starting quarterback to an ankle injury. I do feel bad he got hurt, but that might just give the Pats and advantage.

We added another breeding pair of rabbits to the herd. They are Californians white with black ears and facial features. Very excited about them since they were one breed I really wanted. I was able to trade a Silver Fox doe for the Californian doe and paid $25 for the buck.

QOTD: Do you feel you eat balanced meals (protein, vegetables, etc)? For the most part I do. There are some days that I just do protein and forgo the other stuff I've made.

B: coffee and 2 eggs with ham and cheese

L: rabbit stew (OMG it came out so good for the first time making it)

D: 1 country fried chicken thigh with steamed zucchini

The Y is open today so we will be hitting that after I get home from work.

Have a great day everyone!!!

Happy Friday Gang!! The computer was being finicky this morning and not loading OH finally got on.

So back in December someone had used one of the plow trucks here at work done at the wellhouse and damaged the plow. They never reported it. Me being the detective I am and with the new camera system I was able to find out what day, time, and who was driving the truck. I let the plant manager know and showed him the footage. I believe it was just an accident, but they did not report it.

Things went well with the corporate guys that came to visit yesterday. There were a few minor things they found one being the flag that for weeks I had been saying needed to be changed out. Other than that, it was a pretty good day.

Very cold this morning 5 degrees is the high and we are supposed to get some snow this weekend not much, but enough to cover things again.

QOTD: Do you take your required supplement every day? I had a lapse a few years ago, but since then I make sure every Sunday I put all my vitamins in my pill box and keep it on the counter so I don't forget.

B: coffee and 2 hard boiled eggs

L: chicken wings and 2 slices of pizza

D: pork chops and kale

The Y is closed today for some sort of issue/maintenance with their heating system we both got the email last night so we will have a relaxing night.

Have a great day and weekend everyone!!!

Happy Friday-Eve Gang. Irvin decided he wanted baked half of chicken with red sauce and mozzarella cheese along with homemade mac and cheese so that is what he got. I made myself some seasoned chicken thighs since I'm not a huge fan of red sauce. He loved it. I had also picked up some berries and whipped cream for dessert, but he was full from the chicken and mac & cheese. We will have that tonight.

Came to work this morning to find out a couple of corporate people were coming here today. I did a quick cleanup of the office really just straightening a few things out. They got here at 7:30 about 10 minutes after I finished things. I offered to do the weekly walk around of the hazardous waste areas to help the EH&S technician out. Since I've taken a haz waste course and I'm certified I can do it. It's not really that hard of a thing and only takes about 20 minutes to complete.

QOTD: If you got to your ideal weight would you want to have plastic surgery done? While I'm far from my ideal weight I have thought about it. I would get my stomach done as that area is the worse for loose skin. My arms and thighs are not that bad and I could live with them.

B: coffee and 2 hard boiled eggs

L: 1 chicken thigh and 1 cup of mac & cheese

D: I think we will just do the fruit.

Tonight at the Y will be the weight circuit since we didn't go last night.

Have a great day everyone!!

Happy Hump Day Gang!!

Well for once Irvin had some good luck. His CDL license was downgraded in 2024 due to not having his DOT physical done. At the time he wasn't planning on driving anymore so didn't really care, but recently he decided he wanted it back. Since his license needed to be renewed by his birthday which is today, I had started calling a few weeks back to see what he had to do to get it upgraded back to a CDL. I had called the DMV and was told since it was over 2 years, he needed to take the knowledge and road test over along with getting an up-to-date DOT physical. He did the physical on the 5th. The doctor sent the certificate to the DMV that day. It was going to take a few weeks to get the road and knowledge test set up so he decided to just renew as a regular license until he could get the other things done. When he went to the DMV yesterday, they gave him a new CDL license because they had received the new medical certificate and he doesn't have to do the two tests over. That saves a few hundred dollars.

The body scale should be coming in today and we are rather excited about it. There is an E&I interview today and a 90-day review of a new hire. The water wash went well yesterday and hopefully boiler 2 stays good until the scheduled outage in March.

QOTD: Do you eat on a regular dinner size plate or do you use a smaller salad plate? That is one thing I've done about 95% of the time since surgery is keep consistent with eating my meals at home on a smaller salad plate. I remember my surgeon telling me to use that instead of a bigger plate because with the bigger plate you are more tempted to eat more food especially slider foods.

B: coffee and protein shake

L: French onion soup and 1/2 chicken salad wrap

D: whatever Irvin wants I'll make him for his birthday

Have a great day everyone!!
