In’s & Out’s of the Thaden Family

I’ll tell you what it means to me. It means we have a congress that’s officially neutered. Imagine, do you think some of these old farts care? They’ll be long dead to care of the ramifications of their actions. Imagine how their children must feel. I’m pissed when I think about what my children will [...]

Well folks here she is.  The wicked twin of Electric Sex. I’d like ya’ll to meet Gas-Similation.

It’s a pretty good range. So far! It’s been almost 20 years since I last cooked with gas and today’s experience was good. It’s funny, for our first meal it was Darryl’s (aka, great hot sandwiches). Dinner for tomorrow [...]

I’m assuming that no one knows how to read the picture below, so tomorrow what will the great unveiling show?  A head popping out like a Jack in the box?  A large snake?  or maybe a million dollars?  What will it be?  The world may never know, till tomorrow.

Have you ever heard anyone almost declare the sentence they are about to say with a loud “UH!!!”? I never really paid attention to people saying ‘uh’ because it’s not too frequently used in casual conversation.

We started a new gym here in St Joe. It has a really nice hometown feel to it, and it’s open 24-7. Darryl and I really like it a lot.

The “girls” in my dept (back in TN) have started working from home this week. So to help make the transition easier on them (yeah right) I decided to make up little care packages to send them. I figure it’ll help us stay in touch with each other outside of work. Below are the cards [...]

So this was my first week back at the ‘Pool (that’s short for Whirlpool). It hasn’t been too bad. Training is was a bit boring, but necessary because I surely don’t remember everything that I did 2 years ago. I still do miss my guys from IdleAire, that was a great crew. Not to mention [...]
