OK, just so no one starts to wonder what happended to me, after today, I'll be on vacation for the next 2 weeks. You heard me: TWO WEEKS! YIPPEE!!!

Last year I took a vacation and came back to several messages saying "what happened to David?" So, this time I thought I would let everyone know ahead of time. I'll be back on Monday, July 21st. The only bad thing about that, is I'll probably have 3,000 posts to read.

Sorry, David, but two weeks is fourteen days. You will need to return on the 18th.

Enjoy your vacation, I'll be enjoying mine. I'll be on vacation until the 14th.

I plan on taking a few fish out of the Southern lakes and streams of MO.

Just so David does not feel alone, I'm going on vacation too! This is my first vacation!! I also won't be back for two weeks! That does mean returning on the 21st, not the 18th. (Although I'm sacrificing one day of my vacation to take a much needed seminar - I'm such a kiss-up)

I was going to be upbeat and write, "Ca'mon guys. Life as a compliance officer is a vacation.". But the tears of new regs, new requirements and some old requirements too, kept blurring my vision.

I envy youse guys , but I'll also enjoy my 3 day weekend interspersed with family, home work, bank work, hobbies BBQ.

My neice went to the Youth World last year. She's extremely talented for a 12 year old, she competes each weekend. I've slowed down in my old age and taken up halter and western pleasure with my horses.

My soon to be step-daughter (14) is competing on 2 horses there this year now that she's finally out of Jr. Rodeo! I have been to Open World 3 times and will look forward to going back there again before long. Have a young horse just started and a green horse gaining experience right now...I used to show mini's also...halter, hunter, jumper, liberty and driving. Our vacations seem to be always centered around the big horse shows! LOL! One day I'm going to take a real vacation...where no work at all is involved?

Our annual vacation is the AQHA World Show in OKC every year in November. Trust me Oklahoma City in November is not that terrific, but I did show last year and was a finalist in the amateur aged geldings halter class. Pretty Cool!

We will find out if David and Analyze This are BOL addicts if we hear from them during their vacations!

Andy, you used the phrase "youse guys". Are you from Chicago? I am Chicago born and raised, and that is a phrase we used to use. (I used to laugh at my Pennsylvanian cousins who said "youins".)

If y'all are going on vacation I'm going too!!!

Wait, examiners are coming to visit in September...nevermind dangit!

My three day weekend will be spent decorating a baby room. I promised to make a circus tent to go over the crib (from a picture...no pattern ...what was I thinking?) as well as all the bedding goober babies seem to need. I'm told now that she likes the quilt so much she's hanging it on the wall so I now have to whip out another one for the poor baby to sleep with!

Prego mothers are goofballs Anyhoo, she's scheduled for the 7th...so I MUST sew!

Most definately!

Actually, suprising as it might sound...I kinda like my examiners. (Don't tell them I said that...Matt...ignore this post!)

I have a data integrity review coming up, as well as review of my CD loans and investments. I'm told that my data integrity is so freaking anal retentive that I should breeze through this in my sleep. (And if anyone in the bank causes this not to be the case...I'll breeze through them in my car)

I was just hoping not to tackle the millions of CD write ups I have pending before...well before 2004

There's a good side to that -- we won't have so much to catch up on when we get back. Of course, if we were like Andy, we'd have our laptops with us and be logged on at all times. Come to think of it, it's a long flight.....

Less than 2 hours and counting......

And yes Nawna. I will probably check in to BOL the second week. I can't stay away that long. Maybe, I can... we'll see. I'm going to the Wyoming mountains the first week and I'm not taking a computer. So I can't check in then. I'm not going to be far from IFish2.

I'm sort of on vacation. The Old Man went fishing with the Boys, so I get to go out with the Goils. And I can go to the movies that he doesn't care to see, and I can have buttered popcorn with extra butter and no one will give me grief about it! (It doesn't take much to make me happy!)

The sign says Wet Ice Nanwa. I thought it was kinda cute.

EVERYONE HAS LEFT HERE except Suzie (BOL shy girl) and myself. I'm wondering if I should go too, but since everyone is gone...I think I'm the boss so I'll have to be responsible and stay

Dang it I wish I wasn't responsible! If some freak comes in about a levy I'm gonna tell him I'm the janitor.

I'm back from 3 1/2 days in Hot Springs. Hey, you Arkansas folks -- what a gorgeous state! We were just blown away by the scenic beauty, as well as the friendliness of absolutely every single person we encountered in any shop, restaurant, hotel.

Dawnie would have loved one of the antique shops I visited. The salesman had a line of bull a mile long, but oh so convincing. He tried very hard to sell me an antique crown of aquamarines and amethysts that had once been owned by some member of European royalty. He almost had me convinced I NEEDED it!

Heh heh I love those guys. I found a great jewelry shop in P Town. The guys had such lines! I wanted to see a little victorian sword in seed pearls and they started singing a song about it's origination in the 17th century...blah blah blah....I tried not to giggle before I left.

So umm Mary Beth...you did pick up the crown right? I could use another....

I'll be on vacation next week, which means I'm in clean-up mode this week, so I'll probably only be by at night.




Yeah...I know....but let's just not go there right now, okay?

I'm joining the ranks of those on "Va-kay!" Whu-hoo!!!

A week in Maui with no thoughts of CIP, HMDA, Reg B, RESPA, or hopefully anything else that's been driving me crazy.

I haven't decided yet if I'll peek back in during the second week. Sorta depends if anyone want to have a beer, or split a Pick 6 ticket with me, or both!

I just got back from a week and a half vacation, and WOW, lots of messages to peruse! I went with a Venture Scout group to the mountains of Wyoming - fly fishing excursion for the Scouts. We camped near the Union Pass historical marker in the Shoshone National Forest. Beautiful location! Could have done without the mosquitos though!

I'm baaa-aaccckk. Wow. The Watercooler forum has 1700+ posts. I had 709 emails to go through. I feel like I'm eating an elephant.

I did it- I didn't read a single BOL post while I was on vacation. Honestly, I logged on Saturday (2 days ago), read 1 PM and then caught myself. I got off the interenet.

My elephant is getting smaller. I'm through the emails and on to the BOL posts. I have an over-flowing in-box, but I've got to get my BOL "fix" before I do more.

For week 1, we (my wife and 3 kids) pulled out camper to the Big Horn mountains, just west of Buffalo, WY (not far from IFish2). We fished, climbed mountains, etc. We saw 2 bull and 2 cow moose very close! Traveled back through the Black Hills.

Week 2 I slept in late, played with my kids, did a bunch of "honey-do's" and general laziness.
