wierd sounds

Angela called me at work today to say that the shower in the boys bathroom was making a weird noise, like motor running, causing the pipe to vibrate.

She called Todd, our personal fix it guy, who came over about 7:00 PM. I went upstairs with him and sure enough there was a low humming sound coming from the shower head. We checked in Corey's bedroom to see if he had anything hid in his closet. (The back of his closet is on the other side of the wall of the shower).

The sound was definitely coming from the shower head, we looked around and didn't find anything until Todd picked up Corey's razor, (why does he have a razor?). He had bought one of those new razors that has a battery that vibrates, supposedly to give you a closer shave. It was running! Since it was hanging on one of those shower caddies that hang on the shower head, the vibration was going to shower head, mystery solved!

We all got a good laugh out of it, except Corey who is in denial about that being the cause.

We also one of the families that heard a BOOM outside of our house last week. It made it into the papers that people from Columbus to Newark to Zanesville heard what sounded like a sonic boom between 9:00 PM and 11:00 PM. Corey even went outside to see if something hit the house.

The official government version said it was nothing, but I think it was secret of aircraft flying over. I am not paranoid or anything but you never know~!

not my idea of fun

Well it's 7:15 PM on Monday night and I have been waiting in the Ottawa airport since 3:30 this afternoon. My flight was supposed to take off at 5:13, then 6:30 and now 7:50. That takes me to Chicago and then I hope to catch the last flight out for Columbus. If not it will be the 3rd time spending the night in an airport, which is not fun. Will try for hotel, but most will be booked up by now.

The ironic part is that it was a beautiful day here today. It was cold, but the sun was shining brightly. The bad weather was closing in on Chicago, no snow but low clouds slowing down the airplanes. I knew the bad weather was coming, which is why I was leaving tonight instead of tomorrow, so much for trying to plan ahead.

I found out my family had a party while I was gone and then someone went to Abuello's without me (course they charged it to me, I love computers, you see who is spending what almost instantly). I am beginning to worry that Angela is out for my money, I will have to keep an eye on her.

Supposed to get a big storm tomorrow, planning on working from, if I make it home, on Tuesday.


Nothing much new with the boys:

• Tyler moved into his house
• Brandon moved out of his old dorm, into a new room
• Corey didn't go anywhere

Big News, I almost forgot, Brandon and Charlie won some kind of a video game tournament at OSU! Hopefully the start of something big, maybe he can make a living and pay off our mortgage or something. Thanks Brandon, I know you will do the right thing.

That's all, I see a plane pulling up, PRAY FOR ME to get home tonight. I need to keep my baby doll warm!

Big Daddy

Winter Wonderland!

• It has been quite a week so far. Temperatures below zero, snowed about 4 inches today. It took my 45 minutes to get to work this morning and over an hour and half to get home. Averaged about 20 MPH all the way home tonight but made it home safely.
• Monday AM on my way to work I was stopped at the light by Bob Evans, getting ready to make a left turn onto the freeway, when the brake peddle went all the way to the floor! What are the odds of the brakes failing while I was stopped instead of traveling 60 MPH! It shook me a little, but know God's hand was on me and I made it safely to Deke's. so the Neon is back in the shop, getting new rear brakes.
• We are finally in the process of finishing the family room. When I lost my job in 2000 we had just finished the kitchen. God has provided the $$$ and we are painting the family room barn red and have a new couch on order. The painter has the 1st coat on the loft and it looks better than I could have imagined. Cannot wait until it is all done. My sister-in-law Pam liked the idea so much she went and bought the exact same sectional sofa we got!
• Tyler is fixing up his new house before moving in. He put tile in the kitchen and will have hardwood floors down before he moves in. Not sure where he gets his talent, but must be from his great grandfather Salyer. Sure not from me, I am not allowed to do anything involving tools or a paint brush.
• Corey's basketball team lost their tournament game so the season is over. The most memorable part was at the end of the 1st quarter Corey got a technical from the ref! He had to stay seated for the rest of the game, which was the only time this season he sat down.
• Have to travel to Canada next week for business, cannot imagine how cold and snowy it will be but will give a full report when I return.
• Question: Why do people have blogs and only update them once a month? Their lives must be so boring they have nothing to write about.
• God bless and stay warm and safe!
