I'm visiting my parents house for a weekend, as i was in st. louis for a week to do some inspecting. I was so nervous about the whole thing. would i be able to be a good boss? would i futter up? I was basically a construction inspector for a drainage grate replace and repair for inlets. i have NO idea when i will be able to be back home permanently. :(

but it IS kinda cool being a boss. They ask my opinions, i give them based on what i know (which is not much) and i listen to what advice they have to give and then OK it. and sometimes i tell them that hey, you need to block that lane off!

its interesting though. I've been watching a lot of playoff baseball in the bars (resteraunts like applebees) next to my hotel which has staved off a bit of boredom. guiness and amber bocks for $2.00? yummy! :)

and whats cool is these guys are all laid back and easy to work with. they even told me which strip clubs are good in my area. :)

so i wont be around much over the next few weeks. so behave yourselves! :)

Well at least you won't have to travel on the Dan Ryan. Last night it took me an hour and a half to go 4 MILES!! That was from US Cellular Field to the Chicago Skyway. :angry:

That's what happens when you funnel 5 lanes down to 1.I didn't go above 10 mph until I passed the Skyway.

Anyway,have a great week Ray. :wave1:

The trip sounds interesting. What's St. Louis like--besides rain? It is chock full of Cardinal fever?

At least it should be interesting to be there while watching some of the NLCS games. Already talked to the boss about the fact I could be MIA at different times in the next 10 days or so.

Drink one for me and holler "Astros #1" at some bar for me, Ray :D
