TGIF ... this week finally ends and the project deadline is just around the corner. I think I have finally crossed the rough spots and am ready for the changeover. Monday night will be a long one as we babysit this through the first night. The weekend looks to be interesting as we haven't planned every minute out. I might even get something done for once. This week was getting car inspections and emissions done. Carl and Lynne are on a mini-vacation so we are on our own this weekend. Gee, I swore someone just hollered "party". Wild Mom is fine and adjusting to Gung Ho Jen living there. I still need to find a good time to slip down there and tackle that sonny-do list. The kids are dong fine in the Summer League as we hang on to first place. There is only about 8 weeks until the fall leagues start back up and everything counts for real. Lil Bit has been fine since his episode back on Memorial Day weekend. Maybe we should call him "Lil Timex." This Sunday is the Pastor's last Sunday and next weekend the new one shows up. So the next few weeks should prove to be interesting as we all readjust. Well, since the weekend is here that means yard work. Sure would be nice to find someone who really wanted to do it ... I sure don't. Maybe I should pray for a massive rain system that would park itself over this region until Sunday night.
How crazy are things now? "the Spanish Parliament is expected to pass legislation that will extend rights to great apes." Does that make you feel good? So if they (the apes) get a passport then must we treat them like any other HUMAN being. We have enough issues with same sex marriages ... what about two gorilla's wanting to live together? Or a mixed marriage (Chimp and Gorilla), would they be free from discrimination? We have trouble with black and white marriages. If the Gorilla was born in a U.S. Zoo, has Human rights, over 35 years old, can he be President? Oops, that happened with Clinton ... sorry. Will the Gorilla be required to learn English as a language ... on second thought we have 12 million Hispanics that don't know English ... so forget the question. Kind of like giving the TV repairman the address of our house ... he couldn't spell "Pine" so instead of "Poppa-India-November-Echo" it was "Please-Ice-Nancy-Elephant." Well, PETA is happy and if they had their way the human race would turn everything over to the animals and let them run the world.

Summer in Full Swing
Well, I am amazed that is the weekend already. To be truthful, these past two weeks have just flown. Getting this new equipment up and running has consumed my days. Then add another piece of equipment that is acting up and my time has become a blur. Hopefully by the 1st of July things will quiet down and I can become normal again ... that is if I was ever normal.
Up Coming Schedule:
01 July - Work deadline
04 July - Holiday
14 July - Vacation Bible School
Life in the Davis household is just as hectic and busy.
Wild Mom is somewhat happy. Gung Ho jen is there and #1 and #2 spent a few days doing some of the most urgent sonny-do's. I still need to get down there soon and take care of those that need my touch (computers). She has had plenty of rain lately so the grass should be growing and getting green.
Lady is busy as the Vacation Bible School time approaches (July 14-18). That is another week of go go go. Work is the same and the boss even reversed himself and accepted her idea for the payroll. Whew, that only took how many years? She is ready for another weekend get away.
#1 is keeping busy and the job hunt is starting slowly. This week he will get 3 days of work as he helps at the Radio Tower construction site. His free time has been spent repainting his bedroom. It seems princess colors and manly man colors do not mix and match.
#2 has less hair now as he had it cut off. Now that was a goat rope. Hopefully with his shorn head he can move faster and finally get a job and do more than lay around and play games.
Peanut is doing great and AJ is growing like a weed. There are a lots of adjustments by everyone but they are fun adjustments. Something about a baby changes things.
Lew and Lil Princess are doing great. Lew has his own trunk monkey and Lil Princess is almost walking. Though lately, she is more of a Nana's girl. Put the three kids together and boy do we have exciting weekends.

Build your house in the rivers flood plain and it is hard to feel sorry for you. Just like building your house on the side of a hill prone to mudslides. Man can control nature about as much as a man can control his wife. Come to think of it ... man can't control himself. Hmmm.

Summer Time
Well, the weekend is over and it is back to work and today was no different than last week. Last week the AM transmitter took a lightening strike and while we have fixed it, the phone lines that control it are still down. Verizon is taking their sweet time about fixing it. The FM is back on line after its tower took a strike. We just need to find a better supply of diesel for the generator.
The weekend trip to Williamsburg was really nice. The TV stayed off the whole weekend. We stayed at the Williamsburg Hospitality House just a couple of blocks from old town Williamsburg. Saturday night dinner at the Mystery Theater was a blast ... and yours truly was the smartest sleuth there ... I was rewarded with a coffee cup. We finished the weekend off with some shopping time in the Merchants Square where we spent way too much and lunch at Pierce's Pit BBQ. We all agreed we should do this weekend over.
Wild Mom is growing her rats big as they took to eating her water pipe last weekend. They succeeded in gnawing a whole in it and for just a few bunches of dollars she had it fixed. maybe it is time for a good mouser to take up residence under the trailer. Could Muffin be taught to catch rats?
Looks like #1, #2 and GungHo Jen will head for Florida via Nashville tomorrow. She is ready to start work and pay some bills.
Peanut is adjusting to life as mommy and AJ is doing his best to cover all bases. He is growing stronger and more alert each day. The piles of used diapers attest to his appetite and drinking ability.
Future Events:
