There is not much planned for the day. I have been weighing forklift loads of sluff that I consider to be a waste of fuel. I think we could weigh three loads and get an average and then count the loads. I got an email off to the Engells so they know I plan to attend the wedding. Michelle came in and did not have much to say and I had even left so she left without much conversation. I pretended I was listening to the Alberto Gonzalez testimony. I am sure she got the message. I am trying not to be too petty and yet sort of keep my distance. I hate getting stabbed in the back.

It was not a good day in that I was jumping up and down all day long. Tom was weighing forklift loads of hay to sell to GFE. And then he weighed some bales and I have no idea what in the hell he was doing. He came up and talked a while and gave me an email sheet that I had received previously on another contract. This is supposed to help me figure out how the hell to make out the paper work. Good Luck.

Then the real fuck up was the last two trucks of the day. One was for timothy-alfalfa and one was for 58's and I got them confused because of a phone call and a stupid assumption I made and I knew better than to make those assumptions. Then I mixed up the trucks and got the wrong tare. One truck got away from me so I am going to have to go in and fax Laughlin with the correct scale ticket and the correct weights. I am probably more frustrated with myself than anyone one else. I feel like I should not make those kinds of mistakes as long as I have been there. I guess the truth is that we all make mistakes from time to time and the important thing is to straighten them out and be honest as possible.

I got an email off to the Engells and Laurie wrote back letting me know they were acknowledging the invitation acceptance. She was still having a hard time getting used to the fact that Aimee was moving away. I expect she was hoping that they would stay in the neighborhood. I am not sure but I would think that that family might be a little too close. It looks like someone would get on someone else's nerves. Anyway I thought it was very nice of them to invite me and I intend to make the most of it.

I wrote to Michael and bragged on his elephant picture. Nothing from Joel for quite a while. I hope he has not gotten into some more mischief. Some times no news is good news but in prison I have decided it is bad news you have not heard about yet.

I watched Bill Engvall- Here's Your Sign and it was a standup comedian who had some flip witticisms about his wife, life, and thoughts. I smiled a couple of times but most of the time it was flirting with boredom. There was nothing quite that clever.

The Most Memorable Positive Moment was getting an answer from the Engells. They must be hooked up to the Internet these days since they generally answer their email the same day. I don't think anyone else besides Laurie does much communicating - at least with me. I would like to hear regularly from Luke.
