Hey, Doug! Welcome back! I feel your pain about driving as we all do. Like the others said, leave the car alone and don't start it. I used to do that but not anymore. If it makes you feel better, bring the battery inside and store it in the basement on a block of wood.
Greg, I didn't think we got that much snow. I just shoveled my driveway and sidewalk and thought we only got 2 inches or so. Either way, it was a good workout for the first thing in the morning. Now for some breakfast.
BTW, toilets flush in the opposite direction ONLY in the Southern Hemisphere, i.e. south of the equator. Fun little fact.
As for Zdayz, Greg and I are the only ones planning on going SO FAR.

Also, there was an episode on the Simpsons when they were in austraila and there was a high powered engine hooked up to the toilet. They would start it right before they flushed which would force the water to turn the other way. The toilet had the american flag on top of it and Homer put his hand on his heart and shed a tear when it flushed
. Gotta love America!

Ohh and Dave before I forget...not sure if you are moving into the new FBI Office but I was selected as a Vendor for a lot of their storage in that new facility so I will be meeting with some of the folks in the next few months I would imagine. I think our current storage system houses a bunch of files. I didn't work on that project as it was before my time. But they will at a minimum need to move that or just get a new one.
Do you have the hard dates for leaving and coming home?

I am a no go for the zdays event unfortunately. I go up to Canada fishing every year around that time with all the uncles in the family. It isn't even fishing so much as catching so I get my fill of fish for the year during that week. Have enough fun for me too!

Sucks to hear, Doug.
I was not feeling well enough this morning to do 50 flights of stairs. This winter really sucks. I can't remember getting sick so many times....
