Yeah, I was up pretty early because my mom called me at like 4am. She's in Thailand, so she always messes up the time difference. I'm just glad she's okay. She was displaced earlier in the year with the flooding, lost her phone and just about everything else, broke her arm from a fall, got a new phone number which I didn't have, then lost that phone. 
She finally was able to get a hold of me, but now she's got a new address that is too complicated to repeat over the phone.
So yeah, happy new year.

I enjoy seeing the cars but when the same guy who has more money than he knows what to do with starts buying up cars after cars I just want to give him a big FU, he just now bought a custom 62 vette with the LS3 motor, custom wheels/paint job/interior for 330k..... He bought another car earlier for 170k. good grief...Now he just bought a 68 shelby gt500 for 200k...

That guy that buys all the cars last name is Pratt or something right? I like watching Amy on there, she's getting older but still hot to me.

Well..... No more working nights for me anymore 
Finally moving to the dayshift, only took 7 years.... But on the plus side will finally have a real life, I'll still be putting in some long hours during the summer but atleast I'll still be home by 7pm at the latest. My winter hours are 8am-4:30pm Mon-Fri, I will miss not having a 3 day weekend but I'm sure I can manage without it.

Branson Z Fest 2013 Dates Set
The "officially official" dates for Branson Z Fest are confirmed to be May 31-June 2. These are the official dates but many people start arriving earlier in the week. You can now start scheduling your vacation. Registration and the website will be open later.
ALLrighty than.... So January Z meet, lets shoot for something on Jan. 26th. There has been discussion again about bowling at the bloomington bowling place off 494 or we could do Dave and Busters in Maple Grove. Throw out some other ideas, as I'm pretty sure everyone is open to whatever. But lets have something in stone by next weekend, but have the event on Jan. 26th. Last time it was just Dave, Ryan, and I last time so lets try and get more people involved. Maybe a broomball meet at Aarons if he is kind enough to host it Who else is starting to get cabin fever...
