Today is Thursday...meaning it's the last day of my 'long break'. Back to the grind tommorrow night. Another break come and gone. They go sooo quick.
On a positive note, my loving wife, ordered me a copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator X. I was really surprised, and not at all expecting it. Thank you, Sweetie. I have spent alot of time on MS Flight Sim 2004, taking both VFR & IFR flights from various airports, including Elizabethton Municipal (0A9), and Tri-Cities Regional Airport (KTRI). I'm still in the learning phase of Flight Sim X, but, so far, it has been alot of fun.
I got a brake job done on my Cruiser, while off this time. It was done by Allen Matheson at Custom Brake & Muffler in Hampton. While I had my car there, I asked them (Allen & his wife, Kathy) if they could spray my wheels with black paint. The steel wheels on my cruiser had gotten somewhat rusty and looked horrible. They sprayed them, and they came out looking really good, and really upgraded the look of the cruiser overall. Thanks to Allen & Kathy. Gonna post a quick pic...wish that I had a 'before' picture....
The Vols lost to Penn State in the Outback Bowl. At least they got to a bowl this year, but how long are we, as fans, gonna put up with Phil Fulmer's lack of effort in preparing his team for Bowl Games. Not to mention that we haven't been to a B.C.S. Bowl game since our 1998 National Championship. We are now a middle-of-the-pack S.E.C. Team, rather than a dominant force within the Conference. Our slide into mediocrity is truly sickening. I think that the time has come for Phil to step aside. He no longer has the fire in his belly, and it shows. Our statistics since the turn of the century tell the tale. I feel that 2007 will see some major changes in the U.T. Program. People vote with their dollars. I know that the 'Big Boosters' can't be happy, let alone the average Vol Fan. I mean, who's gonna spend their hard-earned dollars to go to Knoxville, or to an away game, with the current state of affairs? I guess Phil's gonna "work like heck" to be a better coach. What a laugh!
