Monday

Work was work.
I spent the day trying to complete a quarterly report due last Friday. This required a review of my tickler. (my portfolio of loans) I updated the payoffs in the tickler to help me with the report. I went with friends and coworkers Todd and Mark to Cabelas during lunch where
I looked at the fish and the rifles while they purchased ammunition and boots. The fish, I found out, are fed every evening at 6:00 pm and on Fridays and Saturdays at noon and 6:00 pm. I want to go back and watch them feed them.
I worked on the report in the afternoon and submitted it by about 4:00 pm. I also did other misc stuff for my boss and other members. I am working on a helicopter overhaul loan. Boring, tedious and something I don't want do. But I am stuck cleaning up a messy loan from someone else. snooze
Family home evening was a great evening. We had a group mile run for my oldest at the junior high for his pe class. He needed to run and be timed. We then hit the dollar menu at wendys, Dad's treat with a few extra dollars found unexpectedly. Then the meat of the evening was spent as a family canning in the basement. 150 cans of wheat, sugar, rice, flour........ They all pitched in, good attitudes and no fussing. Finished by 9:30pm to get the kids in bed and clean up. Tomorrow, fire line to put them all into the cold storage! yea!!!

I learned lessons this week from my second oldest son and Meridith. They both told me, in their own way, to back off with my typical teasing. I was teasing Meridith about eating many helpings...usual stuff, but she informed me that it was quite annoying. No more teasing Meridith. All grown up and too old for teasing from her older brother. I will put the picture thing to rest once and for all as well. I'm sure that is annoying too. I will try not to tease people anymore. My son thinks that I mock him too. I didn't realise but I probably do tease him too. Not a good week on that front. Or maybe a good revealing week on needed behavior changes.

I rsvp'd to go to a introductory seminar about the Nursing program at Utah Career College for Friday. We will see.

Mowed the lawn on Saturday and burned my head. My head will sure to be peeling by Friday for the seminar. My wife just says to tell them that it is dandruff. That will be much better.
