I finally got home about 9PM after saying goodbye to Paolo and Jesus over dinner at the HoHo Gourmet restaurant (good food, actually). Got the trailer and truck mostly unloaded, getting laundry done, and commisserating about my dearly departed grill.

I brought it over on the trailer for use at the MoM. On the way back, I hit a bump, the thing flew all over (even though it was tied down), and half of it ended on the highway. Kept on going - the top was shattered. Trash now. Oh well, I wanted a new grill.

Meantime, I have a large pile of work on my desk, and it ain't gonna get done until tomorrow. I am exhausted. Just sitting back appreciateing how much I enjoy these meetings, and seeing everyone. So great.

If I recall that grill was new during the 2007 MoM, got damaged some during the 2008, so it's only appropriate it gets destroyed on the third.

I wish I were there to enjoy it's last meal, but oh well. Maybe next year.

I missed seeing all you guys and girls.

Holy hell!

The grill!

And we even double-checked it!

Ironically, there was a letter to the editor in the paper the other day in MN about a piano that fell off a truck on 94. "The piano was a total loss, but thanks to those who helped pick up."

hehe

I landed 6 minutes EARLY, but due to a crew that needed fired, we were held hostage on the plane for nearly half an hour before anyone could come with the tunnel to let us off. Things almost got ugly when another gentleman and I suggested be blow the emergency slide and try that. I always wanted to. The little kids in front of us all thought it was a great idea. The stewardess said "NO." Bluntly.

Bitch had NO sense of humor.

My boss came to pick me up, he was almost on time, then we nearly ran out of gas because the cheapskate couldn't fill up before he drove up there. We ended up coughing our way into a station halfway home.

Erica, Northwest isn't much better, but they have been on time. I was only delayed one year because of thunderstorms.

As soon as I find my camera, I'll share a good picture with everyone...

hehe

Butter...

I wasn't there, but just to be safe I voted that it was whipped cream. After all butter is whipped cream too!
