Found out today I got a full time job down here after graduation so I don't have to move back home and mooch. :hurry:

And I might be trading my Pontiac Fiero for a 6.0 iron block motor to throw into the Nova....

And I'm making Sushi for dinner.

I'd say this qualifies as a good day. :woohoo

Let me tell you about a very good day.

I was at Academy with my wife and grandson. He got TWO baseballs night before last at Corpus Christi Hooks game, and we wanted to get plastic boxes for them.

While they shopped, I stopped at the firearms area. As usual. Was looking for a relatively long barrel .22 for target/plinking use. Again, as usual, I was looking at other firearms when they did not have what I was looking for.

My wife and grandson came buy with their shopping cart. She took one look into a case and said "This looks very good, why don't you buy one". It was a new Ruger LCP, the only one in the store. They had just placed it on display off a truck. Thirty minutes later we left the store, me with a new LCP, and the grandson got his plastic boxes. My wife bought a cheap charcoal grill to supplement the big gas grill for smaller items.

What a woman!!

Twofer! Were they the soft ones they throw between innings or game balls? I've been to a couple dozen games and caught none (game and practice balls) except for the foam things (2 one for each kid)...though a friendly old man gave my (then 5) daughter a practice ball last year.

To the OP, congrats! I recall with none too fond of memories the wait that last semester at A&M as I checked the mail and phone for rejection notices during the great job hunt. It was such a relief when I had one offer, and almost as much when I got the second so I didn't have to move to Kalifornia to work!
