Crazy Days Ahead...

This summer has already started out in a run. I went to Ms. to pick up Christian this past weekend. Yes...I get him for 6 weeks this year! Not going to ask any questions?! We are moving the lab into another location...so I picked up a few things that I would need while I was there. Jon was down a week ago helping me scout locations...I have learned so much about commercial leases!!! More than I wanted!!! After a week of looking at location after location...we settled on a building that is 3080 square feet...our old one is 950! It's going to be great! The new location was a machine shop in a previous life...so there is little electrical to be run. All that I will have to do is move a wall, run water and air lines. I hope to have the lease signed this week. I can get a key the first week of July. What an undertaking!!! With the experience from rebuilding Superior after Katrina under my belt...this should be straight forward(should being the key word)! I will post pics as I go.
Christian and I have been able to spend some good time together so far. I have been able to take off each day around lunch. That is a big change from last year. The lab is pretty stable so I can leave without going crazy. It has been quality time so far. Sun, Beach and Bikes!

This Time it wasn't Steve-O!!!




Did you hear about this guy?? He was hit by an 18 wheeler while crossing a street...the chair handles were pushed into the grill of the truck! The man (21 years old) then was pushed 4 miles at 50 mph!!!! The truck driver not knowing what had happened...was finally pulled over! The man was not hurt! Crazy!!! This would make a killer ad for the wheelchair company or Coke! (see "I'm a Pepper shirt")
