Default I feel your pain.

I need a 12 step program for this hobby. I really wanted to be able to be in Canton, but life just didn't cooperate.

My wife and I had an argument last night, and it was too late to go to anyones house, so I went into the bedroom to pack things to head to Canton. Fortunately I wised up before I hit the road, as going would have caused many more problems.

I'm sad to not have $$$ to come in USA to the convention...Too bad, since I've got plenty of free time...but it's the main reason why I don't have any $$$


But it's sad, especially this year

MFCA It hurts...it burns...

I promised myself I would not call every 20 minutes for an update. Home for the weekend all the kids and wifey went out of state. Got a lil EF action going on in NY in the am...the rest of my weekend "mope for missing the MFCA Convention" time.

The tweak off

Default Convention Blues

As so often happens with my job, when I do plan to do something like go to an electric football convention or tournament, a "RUSH JOB" comes along that just "HAS TO BE COMPLETED BY MONDAY, SO IT CAN BE PUT ON A TRUCK". Which really sucks!!! since the dept I work in is the one that usually puts the finishing details on a lot of the jobs we do and we depend on all the other depts before us to get their job done so we can do ours.

I just have to keep telling myself, "I love my job, I love my job,..."

Oh well, at least I am getting some painting done on my WFL solitaire teams. (5 completed, 7 more to go.)
