Yes I am alive.....didjamissme? haha

Seems like forever since I have blogged. Had a very nice dinner date with an old friend from school last Friday evening. Met Ms Melanie at her house and headed to Mckinney (near Dallas) for a nice dinner at my FAVORITE out of town restaurant. Nice steakhouse called Saltgrass ......if you ever have a chance give one of these a try. Anyway we get parked (a long ways from the front door...remember this as it comes into play later.)and head on in to wait 30 minutes or so for a table. We place our order and continue reliving the past and talking about the present and even a bit of the future.....very nice conversation. Food arrives and it is AMAZING....I love steak and shrimp and I also had a huge baked potato and steamed green beans....Talk about STUFFED. Pay the tab and head out.....it is starting to rain more so Brad, beng the gentleman he is, offers to go fetch the car and meet her at the front door. Get her keys and head out....the rain picks up even more.....where the heck is the car? I hit the panic button button hoping to find it that way...no luck. By this time the bottom has dropped out and I am completely soaking wet.....still no car so reluctantly I head back inside...now I knew better.....I really did. I , in my haste to reach the sanctity of the building decided to cut across this grassy knoll instead of staying on the concrete.....this grass HAD to be slicker than ice cause i hit the ground faster than Dr Phil can get on ones nerves. (just kidding all you Phil fans) I slammed into the ground quite hard on my shoulder....yes the same shoulder attached to the arm I had torn tendons in last year. I popped right back up and continued on my way with no pain to speak of......yet. Anyway to make a long story short, the car was parked in a different place than I was looking....in our haste to get inside before the mist got heavier, i neglected to recall how many corners of the building we went around to get to the entrance....i was half a parking lot away from the car the whole time but in driving rain and lightning popping all around its easy to get confused.

Anyway trip home.....well first off I am soaking wet and soaking her car seats thoroughly......then the pain starts creeping in. I am guessing I just jammed it or sprained it or something but my shoulder is just now getting back to where I can do my weightlifting again.....it was for sure a memorable night.

My shop is done...insulation was the last thing to be done and it was sprayed last wednesday. A guy who used to be one of my best friends is going to start framing on my living area on Saturday. Handyman is supposed to come out Monday and add some cutoffs on the pipes coming from the slab and sweat them in and hopefully the trench for the water line will be done monday also and I can assemble that and get it laid down and hooked up. Unless something happens I should be moving in about week and half.

I have started chatting with this very interesting lady from Dallas and even talking to her on the phone some......odd to me sometimes how trusting some women can be giving their phone numbers out so soon.....it shouldnt strike me as odd but sadly it does.....anyway.....this lady is into Middle Ages type stuff......she has some awesome pics of herself in period clothing and she told me just this morning she had been elected Baroness of her local "group" so she was quite happy about that. I am hoping to maybe get to take her to Scarborough Faire sometime in the next few weeks.....might look a bit out of place with my shorts and new balance shoes so maybe a tunic is in my future haha.
Thats about all I guess I feel like sharing right now....in one of those blank unfeeling moods right now.....
