Black Thursday is past us

Well, the layoff day (Black Thursday) is past us. It was at least as painful as I expected, especially since a couple of people were added to my list at the last minute. I'm working on letters of recommendation for everyone tody, so that at least makes me feel a tiny bit better. Still trying to save some money, which isn't going as well as I would have hoped. We at least received the title to my honey's car this week, so we are down to one car note. The refinance of the casa is in the works, pending receipt of the appraisal which as we all know is a scary S.O.B. these days. That is especially true here in S.W. Fl!!

It's funny how sometimes I write something on here and then it gets said back to me by a family member within 24 hours. It's funny because they don't know about this, so it is very unlikely they are reading these comments. Hell it's unlikely ANYBODY is reading this......anyway in my last post I mentioned "hunkering down" and riding out the housing/job etc. market by staying here. Friday night, my honey said essentially the same thing about how she would love to get closer to our family, but thought we were stuck here for a couple of years at minimum.

Started feeling well enough to exercise again this weekend. Ran a mile or so, plus walked about 1.5 miles Sunday, then walked about 2.5 mi again this morning. I just found a 5K near the house that is being run in about a month, so I'm going to try and run in it and beat my last time of 31:23.

Worked on the jeep a little yesterday. Got some more dash lights working and started trying to wire some of the individual grounds for the dash lights and gauges. Got a lot to do, but I think the focus needs to be getting under the hood and finishing running the wires for the headlights, now that we have power to the wiring. Also need to get the marker/turn lights installed and wired. At least those are already drilled and ready. Then I need to decide whether or not I'm going to install the turn signals in the grill, or just leave it empty and pretend like they never existed. While I'm under the hood, I can install the temp sensor and try to drill out the broken off bolt in the exhaust pipe. Then we can move on to all the rest of the problems.
