take I-80 from wherever you are coming. take the 42nd street exit- head south untill you hit "L" street- take a right and then it is about a block down on the north side of the street- very easy to get too- my cell is 203 3523 if you get lost

Jim "fake" flowers from WOWT says, "Showers and thunderstorms will be scattered about the area today, but the activity won't be widespread. We'll see a break in the action tonight and tomorrow, but rain chances return on Friday. However, that rain should be out of here for the weekend." SO! we should be ok- even with rain it sounds like it will be in just spurts at the time we are all to meet

Was an entertaining night too. Some guy came up to my car and didn't realize I was the owner as he explained to his girlfriend that it was a "two-stroke" engine.
I almost said something but figured "Eh, what the hell", it does have an OMP. I won't be there this Wednesday, gotta work.

they say you see the same people going down as you met going up!- so if your not seeing a bunch of people you used to know lately it should all be good right>?

Been busy trying to find work, and I think it's time for me to get out of the tech sector... contemplating ideas, but may leave the state of Nebraska in search of better fortune.
Haven't decided anything just yet... but at some point one has to sit down and realize things aren't working, and you have to make a decision to cut the cord and focus on outcomes and results.
I would have really liked to do the club thing, but at this point, I have more pressing matters. Hope that makes sense.
Edit: who knows, I may just end up selling off everything and driving down the road to LA in my 8... Besides, when the roller coaster goes down, I have learned to get excited as it can only go up.

Hsker8,
Have you looked at Offutt for jobs? I am in the process of getting out of the Air Force and have been looking for jobs, they have numorus openings in Stratcom. If you have a degree and a clean background you could get a job with a clearnce. Just a thought.

Hello again all,
Hskr8, keep looking! You'll find something, hopefully around here. (we need active members like you.) I will have to pm you later about the cz stage 1. (I dont have time right now, but congrats anyway :D .)
Is anybody going to the husker game tomorrow? It sucks that it is only on pay-per-view but money talks. I can't wait to see how they are going to do. There has already been lots of discusion around the coffee pot here. (we dont have a water cooler
)
Take it easy all.

I ended up pulling in over 80 grand off that site a few tax years ago! and that was the stuff I did strictly through there

So how was the game in person? Us poor people (who were stuck working) had to take in the game the old fashion way, via radio. Man it did sound exciting though, wish I could have been there. Try and tell me ol Peterson didn't have a S#*& eating grin on his face after the first half. Oh well enjoy the long weekend all.
