Just in time for what is supposed to be a rainy weekend, dang it. We'll see how we we can keep him entertained before he has to go.

In the rain? Forget it. Supposed to be going tubing in the mountains next weekend anyway. He'd have liked that. I think. Do chickens like water?

Seeing how Monroe was "cooped up" in that box for who knows how long, I decided to let him tag along to work. He wasn't happy I woke him up so early but once we got some coffee in him he was OK.





He was a bit annoying on the drive- all he wanted to listen to on the stereo was "Surfin' Bird." After the fourth time it was a bit much.

When we got to the shop he saw the big trucks and got all ruffled up with excitement. He went right over to big bertha and insisted I take a picture.





I boosted him up into the pilots seat but he couldn't reach any of the controls. I was a bit skeptical he could actually drive a 10 spd like he claimed anyway. He just ended up just blowing the air horn until he emptied the air tanks, like my kid always does.





After he got bored of blasting the air horns we went into the shop where he said he could help me troubleshoot a no-start problem on a duramax. He figured since he's spent so much time wrenching with everyone on his trip he'd know what to do. Turns out he's lousy on diesels and wasn't much help at all so I had to figure this one out on my own.





After a few minutes he wore my patience thin with all his "ideas" so I put him in my office to get caught up on email and just relax in the AC (he was getting broiled in the shop).






Well it wasn't long before our IT guy was calling me asking why my computer kept pinging blocked sites and getting the firewall all worked up. I went in to check on him and busted him trying to get on some "hens gone wild" website.

It was then I figured out why we haven't heard from him in so long and why there haven't been any pictures. He kept mentioning wanting to "check out the local talent" but I told him firmly that wasn't going to happen. If this keeps up, I'll have to consider bringing him to church on Sunday to get him back on the right path. I was tempted to do a random drug test on him but he swore he couldn't produce a sample as he has a "shy bladder."

We'll see what we can find to do this weekend that is PG friendly.
