============ The Morning Thread ============

Good Morning men

just got back from bringing my mother to the eye doctor and have a couple hours before heading up to Boston with the wife for her doctor's appointment. It was pouring here violently this morning so I'm hoping that stops before I head to the big city because that commute will really suck at lower speed and visability.


Have a good one everyone!

Paul, safe travels and congrats on the Jose auto you posted yesterday.

 

[1st4040]

TY George

That auto was the one I was talking about the other day saying how tough it was to find now because that product just isn't broken due to lack of value. the Canseco is an SP also so not getting a copy on the initial release made it a real waiting game.

Good morning everyone!

Morning all.

Winding down the semester here. Will be done with the whole enchilada next Wednesday.

Will find out in August whether the college trustees, in their staggering wisdom, will decide to scrap the entire tutoring and ESL assistance programs here. I give the morons a 75% chance to do it.

Anyway, I will be hopefully receiving an awesome signed book this week. One of the best, longest wanted items on my list! Will post when it arrives...

 

[George_Calfas]

Andrew, so no more classes for you? Plans to search out other employment?

 

[JackLondon]

Hey George,

I will still need to be a fulltime student for the next three semesters to transfer to either Cal State Long Beach or Cal State Fullerton.

I am going to continue to apply everywhere starting a few weeks ago when the news came down. I have done private tutoring some this semester, but it is a pita. Trying to network with some people I know to possibly get into online tutoring. We shall see.

Thanks, George.

What they are proposing makes no sense. The ESL Writing Center (separate from Tutoring, but in same building/floor) is crucial for the students. Without its extra help, the ESL program is toast. And, if the ESL program goes away, it will negatively affect every other program on campus. ESL is the gateway program to start second-language learners, be they math, science, business, history, whatever majors.

We are one year into using the gigantic new library building (unnecessary, but someone wanted a "prestigious visual element" on campus) and the entire first floor will likely become storage now. Trustees also voted themselves and the administrators in the district huge pay increases, too.:???:

Say what? No Way! Oh yeah that is what they do.

Best gig in town, evidently.

Wow and good morning and Andrew sighting this morning and early :lol:

We only had a little bit of rain here last night for like 20 minutes, the bad stuff missed us, it went to the east real fast and then moved out to Indy and over the lake by midnight.

I need to cut the grass today since the car repair took WAY longer then I thought it would.

Peace out guys I may check in later before for going to work today. Oh and I found out I'll be working on second shift for a bit longer since, someone who has been with the company since 1997 decides now he wants to move to First shift and do a job he has never done before WTF Oh well you win some and you lose some.

Good morning all. Didn't post yesterday, I was on the lake for opening day of game fishing season. I caught one legal walleye, and the wind started howling, blew us off the lake in the afternoon.

Closing on the house I made an offer on last month today at 1PM. Looks like I'm going to be really busy the next couple of weeks remodeling and painting.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Any pics of the Walleye Ralph?

They are the best tasting fish ever...

I hope I am able to hit a couple lakes this year.

What's sad is I had one book I needed and I lost it. I was able to obtain the other book yesterday so I is gunna spend all day reading it so I can return it before I lose it too...

I also can't find my wallet.

 

[alexs64]

No lakes for you!!

 

[TBTwinsFan]

No lakes for you!!

I like fishing.

 

[hoopster3977]

Forgot the camera yesterday along with not putting the electric trolling motor on the boat at 4:30 am. ::facepalm::

I don't care how much work I have on my plate at the moment, I'll be back on the lake for sure on Saturday. High temps of around 80 degrees and a sunny day which walleye don't like. Maybe we can catch the bluegill and crappie spawning.

Taylor, I posted some walleye picture I thought on Saturday.
