last winter I could not wait for summer but I did not mean over 90 degrees it has been making work brutal I start at 3:30 just when the day is heating up but I try not to complain too much it is bearable and I have a good job so life goes on it will get cold soon enough.Overall work is going well I am used to the afternoon shift and have learned a lot I am not offically a machinist it took a year to get all my lessons done and pass the test but I am done and up to full pay, but I never worked under a union before the contract was up the first of July and they are working on a new one but still far away from an agreement but they say it will work out eventually, I hope so I don't need to be off work again..

Mom is all moved into her new home I was worried about her accepting the change but she is really happy with it I went through soooo much crap to get permits to put a double wide on my property I always thought I own it so I can do what I want well I can but it cost overall with permits and updating the septic system well over $2000.00 but it all worked out well she is in a settled and happy that is all that matters...

I will be seeing both my girls and grandchildren tomorrow as Mom is having a picnic for mine and Crista's birthday it should be a good day and to top it off tomorrow night is the first Steeler pre season game LOL I am so excited finally Football season is beginning finally..
