Wow, what a party!
We had a bunch of people yesterday, I lost count and was the food great! I am always impressed with these little get to gathers. Lots of food, lots of laughter and a bunch of drinking. Mimosas were the official party drink, Chocolate was a main food group and boy was stuff just yummy!

I got a 93 on my practical test yesterday and a 88 on the written. Go Girl.
I partnered up with a really nice gentleman for the class. He was retired military and was just so wonderful. On the practical he was encouraging, he kept telling me I was doing a great job. I appreciated the support. He told me after the practical that I did so well, he would have to start calling me madam.

Jimmy La Fave, Three syllables, that’s the TX way.
Three syllables. That’s what Jimmy said tonight. I got to see Jimmy LaFave and George Devore tonight. I actually saw Jimmy and got to waive to George and the band tonight. I got to see George and them at the Reggie fest last weekend so I thought I was Ok to skip out a little early.

Journalcon Austin 2003, long day at the office and not much else.
I managed to get lots of work done at the office yesterday. I am ready to run the monthly checks and have posted the rents. I answered the hate mail earlier in the month so I am ahead of schedule as of now. I get a few letters a month about move outs. We occasionally make a mistake but not very often. Each letter requires a personal response, no form letters for this task.

Ah, Wednesday.
Was at court for 11 and back at the office for 12:30. I got the case dismissed so it worked out well. The guys finished the framing and I decided to go ahead and get the siding done.

Culture Club Lunch and Cop Banquet
The political lunch went fabulous and I went to a cop dinner last night. We ended up with about 60 people for the lunch and most of the mayor candidates. Headed to the Inn last night for a bigger than expected gala.

The roof has been raised
The crew started to work on raising the roof yesterday. They were jacking the roof and had 3 out of 4 support beams in place and one of the jacks tipped. The roof ended up about 2 feet off the frame. Thank god the barn held and no one was hurt. They were able to winch the roof back into place last night and will be arriving shortly to do the interior framing. I am getting very excited about the barn progress. I will have to stop after the framing and wait to save a little money to do the next steps. I figure it will be a few months for the next parts but I will have a nice workable space in the mean time.

Ja Man, Reggie Fest done.
Wow, I can’t believe the Austin audiences. It was a full mist on Saturday, you could almost call it rain but it never actually become rain drops. We still ended up with about 5 thousand people at Auditorium Shores. Sunday was even bigger. We loaded the Tractor Trailer with food, last I heard about 15 pallets. That will feed a lot of hungry people.

Where Have I been?
Busy, busy busy. I have the Reggie Festival today and Sunday. Heading down one hour before gates. I have been working on the Tuesday lunch at Pennfield and I went and saw Kevin Fowler, he is so good. The barn is progressing along nicely.

Concrete done. Marley Fest in the works, lunch with Brenda and Kevin Fowler tonight.
The concrete truck showed up about noon yesterday. Well, there were actually 2 of them. The guys got it done by 6:30 and it is curing. I managed to etch my initials in a corner with the date, but I couldn’t get Saba’s paw print in, it was to dry by the time I got back from my walk with Saba.

We have grass, concrete on its way.
I had the guys lay down 2 pallets of grass to cover the dirt in the back yard. It almost covers the entire area but leaves a little dirt showing.

Fry’s Stinks, construction halted and I am still without a PDA.
I tired Fry’s customer service yesterday and never got an answer. I tried the in store people and they wouldn’t help. I am waiting for a cease and desist order so fry’s will stay on the top of the journal for a week or so. I am not a happy camper.

Mike Helton made a bad call.
“In other words, we made a mistake Sunday making a call in a scenario of something we had never seen before when someone took the lead of the race and then gave it back." Mike Helton, President of NASCAR.

Mike Helton where was your pass?
One of the funniest moments from the weekend came after the bush qualifying on Thursday evening. I was headed out of the parking lot on the way home. I headed to the North gate to exit and the entrance was blocked by a nice young man. Traffic was only to go out at that gate.
