Well, we made it to Louisiana and back home without any injuries, barely

While in the middle of nowhere in Texas on Hwy 10, I was trying to multitask (I was watching Last Action Hero starring the Gov.) and somehow put 2 wheels into the soft dirt/gravel on the fast lane side.....of course this woke up my wife who started to panic, I overcorrected which put us in the slowlane (oh yea, cruise control set at 80+mph and I never touched the brakes) and finally once the car stopped sliding all over the road, I was back in the fast lane.

Needless to say, that will be the last time I try to drive and watch the dvd player at the same time, I know, it was a stupid move, but luckly I learned my lesson without hurting/killing anyone....no traffic near us, so that was a godsend.....not too sure how well the Hyundai would have held up to a roll, but it was pretty darn stable and easy to keep it on the road when I really needed too

The work in Louisiana went well, I figured out our mold problem, it turns out that for some odd reason, I only insulated about 1/6th of the attic when we re-built the house, and of the insulation that was up there, it was installed wrong....so I took my fat @ss up to the attic and installed another 1000sq feet of insulation...I'm getting too damn old for this cr@p


Anyways, glad to be back home, now this week I'll be dealing with the Antioch building inspectors for my workshop, hope that goes well so I can finally button things up and move my equipment in there and start making some 'chips and more 914 products

oh krist! Mike!

Guess the idea of watching DVD & driving...don't mix very well!!!

well, glad you guys made it back and still in one piece....

I had a similar experience of not paying attention...but I was typing away on the pager at the traffic light and I thought the light had turned green which I stepped on the gas (& still typing away), only to find myself bumped into the truck's ass!...

talk about embarrassment on the spot!! jeez!

Hey, let me know if you need help with shop...just holler!

yep, stupid is as stupid does....everyone has a brain fart once in a while luckly for me, I was able to walk (or drive) away from mine, hahahaha

I could use some help hanging up some sheetrock once I get the approval from the city to close up the walls and getting my other mill and lathe into the shop is a multilple person job

the weather sucked, humid and hot.....I have a hard time believing people move down to the South on purpose , you'd have to pay me big money to want to deal with nothing but flat boring roads and crappy weather
