    We did some tits work on a three wheeled Segway this week for the Division, we blew the DIA Captain away with what we did. I'd expect to see it on a local news broadcast soon, and probably in an EMS magazine.

    It was fun to do, too. Heard that DPD has some Segways and we might be getting some business on further Bling-O-tunities for them as well. Hell, even Segway said they wanted pics of what we did.

    Makes ya feel good when that kind O shit happens.

    Yeah, they are fixing the things they can and compensating us for the things they can't fix in a timely manner. They are also paying about $200/day for every day late we close. We were supposed to close today. Now we're looking at the first week of June for closing.

    So, the contract says that the builder reserves the right to change the plans at any time... But it's really a grey area. Honestly, we just want to be in our house as soon as possible and not in this crappy 1-room hotel room.

    Oh, I came home with a vengeance and antagonized her until she ripped my face apart, blinded me in both eyes, and left me with only the use of my left arm between the wrist and the elbow. So I feel much better.

    Congratulations aside, I'm going to give you one chance to defend a 3-wheeled Segway.

    Yeah, something like that... Nothing like living in 550 sq feet with a 2 year old, a dog, and a 6-month pregnant wife for 2-3 weeks.

    Put out a few calls to see if something larger is possible.

    Not looking for sympathy. Just saying it to make it real.
    My MIL passed at roughly 6pm tonight. She is in a better place now.
    I have made several less than pleasant phone calls to pass on my condolences, but it still sucks.
    Thanks for listening.

    Sorry to hear, you knew it was coming. No matter how much you prepare, there's always a gap left when they pass. Condolences.
