Thanks for the kind words everyone, Dyan will appreciate it. I think whats hitting her hardest is while taking the ABs she can't go out in the sun, and she loves to spend time with her garden

I'm sorry to hear that Doug  Can you put some of those portable car working on lights outside for her? They are really bright,.. perhaps she could tend the garden after sundown?

My company was pretty easy,.. they booked my hotel, and flight,.. then gave me ~$30 per day in petty cash, and demanded recepts and change back.
Anything that was "recreation" related they would not pay for,.. just food.

Well time to try and put up the molding for the bedroom. I haven't done a lot of this so we'll see how it turns out.
The tile jobs turned out great. I'll shoot some pics tomorrow after we finish it up.
Have a nice evening everyone!!!

At my last company I was fortunate to travel in style to Belfast a few times and eat and drink with the sales guys. That was doing it up right. This is an icky economy.

Good evening, everyone
Don't know what to say either. Dad would never believe me, though.

The bummer is I am all alone here, No co-workers to get with or visit with. In some ways it's good as they have faith in my ability to get the job done.
two days before I flew out they called to tell me they needed me here because of my experience with the project.

Hey, Vinnie - Good that you had a nice dinner out, but that is a real drag with no co-workers there.

Glad they are taking care of you Vinnie. It is tough enough being on the road with the duty you are putting in.
Guess we are babysitting Van Gogh the sheltie again. For those of you that don't recall he is the dog that ate our Jeep. I only have two door panel inserts left to finish those repairs.

Dog looks at vehicle, break out the dart gun, that's really unacceptable behavior 
Someone called in sick tonight and I got to work, thats why I am on so late. Lovely day we got a couple inches of rain in an hr and a half, parking lot looked like a lake, it was, as Cath would say, A FrogStrangler.
That's an idea about the lights Wiskey, but if she goes out early or after sunset shes OK, just cant be out in hot bright sun unless shes covered up, 2 of the 3 meds make her senstive to direct sun
