So, I'm a bit behind on the blogging, again.  Appears my determination to make
this a daily habit is slipping a bit.  I blame work and Melemkor!  I am kindof
pissed at work at the moment.  Senior system engineer dropped the ball, didn't
forward responses to a customer, 4 months later, customer comes back pissed
for not getting a response.  System engineer forwards email at 3:50pm to me to
look into issue, needs response back to customer by close of business
tomorrow.  Yeah, right.  Thanks fuck-o.  Guess who is leaving work already. 
System engineer you say?  Ding-ding-ding!  Oh well, I'm leaving on time, screw
him.

Anyways, weekend was good.  Didn't do a whole lot on Sat. besides putter with
wood for a couple hours.  By the afternoon it was so hot and humid that I just
sat on the deck and chatted with Mom.  On Sunday, parents and I went to
Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin for the buckskinner's Rendevous.  Mom and I
dressed in period looking clothing and we wandered through the displays and
flea market.  Met an old work buddy up there as well.  So, all in all, a good
day.

Forgot to mentionthat for my birthday, while we were at the races, Dad got the
track announcer to announce birthday wishes for me on the track PA.

Also forgot to mention that I got speed magi quest completed thanks to a lot
of help from Brillo!  Then, today I figured out the 3 lift magi focus
locations to finish that shipquest.  I'm down to the assault magi quest and
getting shipbuilding armors for class 6 ship work.  Not sure which is harder,
hearing that obtaining the armors is a pain.  And as for blaming Mel., I've
spend a few late evenings the last two weeks figuring these quests out.  After
these next couple of quests, I should be done with shipquests, unless there
are some new ship quest branches that open up once I do a lvl 6 ship, which
Mel. has hinted at.  evil bastiche.

P.S. Anyone know of a spot that has 'hot or burning coals' as an obtainable
item?  I'd pay good cash for that piece of info or.

On the gym front, appears I am now down below 180 officially.  If the scale is
to be believed, I'm at 177.  I think it was off last night, as I don't see how
it is possible for me to lose 2 pounds overnight from 179.  Tonight on my
re-weigh we'll see where I really am at.  It could have been water weight loss
with all of the cardio I had done.  Anyways, happy with progress in spite of
eating poorly last weekend.  Strength/weight lifting is really falling off. 
Will take several weeks of hard lifting to get back to where I was.  But for
now, I'm more willing to shed pounds of fat along with some of the muscle.
