So what's going on? Have I missed anything exciting in the last few weeks?

How far back you wanna go?

For starters, this winter has been a real bitch.

Well just so you don't feel like it's all over there, winter has been a bitch here too. Now it's just like the weather is fucking with us with it being 60 one day and 20 the next.

Oh, and I gave up swearing for Lent. It's been difficult.

Oh yeah fuck that.

Just this week along I've heard my 5 year old say cunt and cocksucker. I must thank Jim's brother for teaching him such things.

Which is why I made that decision that I need to work on censoring myself better, especially in front of the baby. It's too earl yfor her to drop "F" bombs and such. I don't want that call from the school.

Jim got a Power Wheels Jeep for the baby, she's so little that she can't reach the pedal. I told Jim want to look into converting it to an R/C until she is old enough to drive it herself.

Today has brought us some rain, rain/snow mix, sleet, freezing rain and just snow. I also think it got colder out.

Mikes pretty good. He knows he's not supposed to say them and he knows he gets in trouble when does.
Jim's brother taught him how to give people the finger which was hilarious until Mike tried teaching it to his kid.

My kids had a smaller power wheels quad. They are far too big for pow-pow power wheels now. Jim and I discussed getting our kids one and settled on we may as well just buy them the real thing instead

One of Jim's bud's got a tiny dirtbike for his daughters to ride and he put modified training wheels on it for them and rigged the throttle so they weren't able to go too fast.

Yesterday we bought all new computer stuff from Microcenter. And put them together yesterday and have been getting everything installed today.
I'm not computer genius, but I know a lot more than these other 2 guys.
Everything actually went together good, and smooth, and worked right the first time.
And still, holy shit, the one guy will not stop asking me things.
If this is what a normal day for Joe is like, I don't know how he does it.

I find if you know even slightly more than those around you, they may view you as a "pro" and constantly bug you to answer questions.

My current boss is quite intimidated by me knowing more than he does about computers (he doesn't know much at all). I use that when he tries to over-explain insurance crap just to return that favor and confuse him back.
