Hiya Kids,
Well, I got home from work around 4PM and decided to take a little nap- And woke up 7 hours later… I wonder if what they say about “Not being able to catch up on a sleep debt” is true, or just a ploy to get more Government funding… Either way, my body tends to disagree with their findings.
I can’t tell you how nice it is to be back at work, where I can relax, but I already miss all you bastids with your over-packed suitcases and thirst for all things carbonated- whether fermented or not.
Some fun, but useless facts: The water coolers (The tall ones) hold 20 pounds of ice, the Gatorade coolers (The shorter ones) hold 35 pounds of ice, and the small ice chests hold 50 pounds- With this in mind, I estimate that we used between 3,500 and 4,000 pounds of ice last week. We also went through roughly 500 gallons of water, 40 cases of soda, (Mostly diet coke) and about 60 cases of beer… When you consider that we didn’t really do much drinking the last couple days, that’s not bad! The beer fund topped out at around $1,600, and once I tally up how much was left over and came home with me, I’ll figure out how much $ was left in the beer fund and donate that back to the ADA along with the $40 from my training ride BBQ this June.
We ended up with four cases of oranges and a couple watermelons left over, and I have to drop them by the local church’s food pantry later this AM- It’s not often they get fresh fruit because they don’t have the storage for perishables, but Pastor Paul manages to make sure it gets to those who need it.
Well, this got long quick… I’m going to go rustle up a sammich, and see if I can get some more of my computer pieced back together… It’d be GREAT if I could remember what I have for a sound card- Videos aren’t much fun with no audio…
More to come as I think of it!
Keep the wind at your back, and the downhills in front of you,
GearMan
