It's feels like summer outside with the birds chirping and the warm weather we are having.” 5:59:50 AM 5/11/04 “Hey all - Sorry, I don't want to be rude - thanks for all the well wishs from yesterday. It really means a lot. It was a little bumpy yesterday. My school kids and I were all a little choked up. I come to find out that a "co-worker" has been gunning fer me all this time (by making my life hell, as she knew I wasn't happy), then applied for my position. She's really not a nice person and the kids all hate her with a passion, so she'll probabley will get the job. That's the way it's works over there. That's OK.....I hope they all choke on it. So then ya know what this all means, right? MORE TIME TO TT!!! all kidding aside, looks like it's gonna be a little rainy here and 70 to 75 degrees. It's nice and cool this mornin` and it has that "mornin` smell" to it. I love that smell. It's wild that even in the city, the mornin` still has it. Go on out and make it a great day!” 6:25:11 AM 5/11/04 “It sounds like you're lucky to escape with you skin, LOL --- enjoy your freedom. Well, it's Twofer Tuesday once more, <G>... Our Single A club remains in last place but the beer is still cheap!” 6:43:53 AM 5/11/04 “Morning all. Got back yesterday from a fantastic bp'ing weekend in the BWCA. To add to the harrassment, I erected my wet tent in the garage, hung my sleeping bag to dry and hung my pack upside down "before" I went in the house. I was unexpectedly energized from the trip and later did all sorts of trivial chores around the house and yard that I usually put off. I don't get it. We're supposed to get t-storms this afternoon, but I'm ripe for a break and laying around the house will feel good. Have a great day.” 6:44:14 AM 5/11/04 “awww, I am up I think. I didn't even check the weather but thought I heard something about a thunderstorm. It ain't goint to happen. It's already 63 degrees here. NICE!! Got to get ready.” 7:06:53 AM 5/11/04 “Good morning, all. Thunderstorms kept me from heading uptrail yesterday afternoon. I'll try again today.” 8:06:36 AM 5/11/04 “We're going to have record lows and snow! YUK! I was just starting to get used to spring. We're supposed to go up in the mountains tommorrow and Thurs for work and it's going to be wet and cold!” 8:27:32 AM 5/11/04 “man, i am sorry for you, Aero! that sucks. it's going to be 85 at least here! that's perfect weather, if you ask me.” 8:41:33 AM 5/11/04 “morning. i had spring cleaning fever yesterday, but not enough time! cleaned out a closet which was long overdue. would like to get the rest of the crap cleaned out, and either have a garage sale or donate it all. i think a garage sale is too much work to add in my schedule, plus there is a salvation army three doors down from our office. anyway, i am pretty tired of this rain, and it looks like it'll be this way all week long. the ground is soggy enough!” 8:41:34 AM 5/11/04 haapy Humpday everyone!!!! “Just think...not too much longer untill the weekend!!!” 4:29:07 AM 5/12/04 “morning” 5:56:53 AM 5/12/04 “Mornin' Dentist appointments this morning for myself and the little one (her first), should be loads of fun! ;) Had to get up an hour and a half early for the darn things. Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day. Have to get out in the garden quick while it's not raining!” 6:29:44 AM 5/12/04 “I love springtime. The leaves just started to come out on the trees last week and they are starting to grow and fill out. Day lilies have grown about a foot in the last week and all sorts of other perennials are coming up in the gardens. Mornings are cool enough (around 45) when walking the dog for a light fleece jacket. Now, if I could just do something about the black flies.” 7:43:09 AM 5/12/04 “Good morning.” 9:53:44 AM 5/12/04 “Morning all...I sure miss seeing everyone in the morn!!...Hugs to Nowslimmer.......I sure miss you!!!!! I hope everyone has a great day!!!!!” 4:29:35 AM 5/13/04 “Thursday, right?” 5:36:14 AM 5/13/04 “Good morning! I haven`t been to bed as of yet, been readin` threads for hours and hours. Kinda fun to catch up on the ones of you I know and miss and it`s fun to see the new names and wonder about those folks as well. Looks like it`s still a madhouse around here and the only thing that changes are the names. The birds are singin` their fool heads off at the moment,.... guess they think I`m asleep. LOL I could prolly risk a pot-shot at `em, (the birds) this time of day and not have the neighbors call in on me, but I`m in a good mood, or just to damn tired to mess with it, I guess:)(J/K) The sun`s not yet up so why am I no ax to grind and no fish to fry there`s no reason at all to be up at this un-Godly hour covers are still warm, but I`ve forsaken `em for a shower the water`s so hot, it sure feels good it renews my sprits the way it should if I could voice my thoughts right now, a silent scream you`d hear it just as a tiny peep it`d be, " What the fook am I doing up at this hour, I could still be sound-asleep!" but I`m awake now so, does it matter anyway, or even at all of course it does, if not, how could I say, "Mornin` Y`all!"” 6:17:57 AM 5/13/04 “morning yall!!!! foggy here today. high in the 80's. looks like it's gonna rain, but we have a 30% change only. Hmm, only rain clowd prolly over my house. Someone make me some java pleaze” 6:23:37 AM 5/13/04 “I have some morning java here. Head for the coast and I'll pour you a cup.” 6:25:13 AM 5/13/04 “Good morning everyone and especially Big Foot! Nice to see you around Bill.” 7:00:23 AM 5/13/04 “well laqtis you want me to make a spot in the middle of this line i call unemployment...been here myself since friday at 5...god im ready for my last paycheck tomorrow” 7:37:36 AM 5/13/04 “Sure Happy It's Thursday!” 8:10:43 AM 5/13/04 “Cool drizzly morning here in the North Woods. Off and on rain expected the next couple days, with temps dropping from the 50s today into the 40s Friday I think. Saturday supposed to bring the sun back. Just in time for yard/garden work.” 8:35:51 AM 5/13/04 “Doggone aero! My work week ends on Thursday!” 8:42:04 AM 5/13/04 “Good morning. It's raining in the Bryson City, NC area. I broke camp ready to backpack, but I'm waiting for the rain to quit. If it continues, I'll go to the Fontana Hilton Shelter. I could use a shower at the dam, anyway. Bryson City has been a traffic mess with Everett St. and the street across the tracks from the railroad station being recovered. They started to blacktop today. There is a narrow, beat-up, gravel/dirt road that runs along the tracks and the river going east to the highway. I tried it and there was a grader working on it, another mess, but the work is finally done. They are probably preparing it as a detour route.” 9:38:42 AM 5/13/04 Howdy Sassafras! “How`s you and your`s doin`? Well I hope,.. I do miss readin` your posts and talkin` to you on Yahoo, but I don`t go there much anymore either. All of a sudden life got much busier for me, what with the yard work and puttin` in two gardens and a new love in my life and her son as a sidekick, things have been goin` pretty well. I`m gettin` out a lot more than in the past and it almost looks like I have a life again:)LOL I do hope if you and the family do get out this way again this summer we can meet up and Birch and I can sneak off for a fishin` trip, or twenty;) Take care of you and your`s and I`ll be checkin` in on all of y`all from time to time, (old habits are hard to break) I do miss Y`all. Take care! Bill” 2:49:58 PM 5/13/04 “4:47 am. I am the first one up. yeah!!! no time for coffee, will be gettin me some on the road though. Going to trail days!! Morning everyone!!!!!!” 4:01:57 AM 5/14/04 “I am heading to bed! Good night!” 4:06:45 AM 5/14/04 “ya mean I am not the only one awake?????... Gem, have a fun, safe trip and give everyone a hug for me!!!” 4:13:19 AM 5/14/04 “5 more hours and I get to go to bed!! Have a great weekend everyone!” 4:19:02 AM 5/14/04 “Morning all!!!!!!!!! :) Its happy friday. Maybe the boss will be in a good mood today! :)” 4:34:54 AM 5/14/04 “todays smoothie is being brought to you by a mango, some yogurt, some papaya and fresh squeezed orange juice , a splash of vanilla silk, and a squirt of flax oil for the creeeeeeky joints ~~~i'm already gone....and we're feeeeeelin strong~~~ i am the boss, and i am in a good mood....i hope the little darlings appreciate that today” 6:37:12 AM 5/14/04 Friday!!!! “yum, om. That sounds like a delicious breakfast! BF, I'm so glad to hear you're happy w/ your sweetheart! And a boy around to fish and hunt with too! How cool. =) All is well here.” 7:38:18 AM 5/14/04 “TGIF! What a great day here. Mulch in the yard was done yesterday and it looks great. EThe electrician is coming today to wire some boxes for two of these on either side of the garage door today. A smaller matching one will go on the front porch.  ”7:54:32 AM 5/14/04 “Morning All The rain has passed..I hope! I think I see blue skies..I'm waiting for the boss to bring me my bagel!!! om..that smoothie sounds yuuuummmmmyyyyy!!! Nowslimmer, when did you sneak back into these parts?” 8:23:43 AM 5/14/04 “Light rain in the North Woods, clearing this afternoon, but only in the 50s. We have a frost/freeze warning for tonight, so the flats of flowers we picked up last evening will stay in the garage pending a Saturday planting. Plus four more spirea bushes to put in (goldenflame variety) under the front window. Best thing though, last day of the term today -- I can go in late, do some grading, hit a couple short meetings, and hope no problems pop up.” 8:52:44 AM 5/14/04 “Pekka..I bought some flowers mid April and they just got put out last weekend. I kept putting them under the porch, on the porch, I think we are finally over the frost phase & I'm hoping to get some annuals in the ground now!!” 9:33:21 AM 5/14/04 Nowslimmer “Traffic has been messed up on that road since early March! There were bad traffic backups then! I hope they finish that road project soon.” 9:33:57 AM 5/14/04 “Electricity? You mean you guys don't burn whale oil anymore? <G>” 11:07:07 AM 5/14/04 “ O Blinding Light! O Light That Blinds! where's th' frickin' sunglasses?” 6:12:26 AM 5/15/04 “I've been up since 4:30 est, when I got to listen to a couple of big stray dogs savage my cat Maow to death. She was buried under a camellia before sunrise. If I see those dogs in my yard again, I will kill them as best I can, maybe just stab them and let them run. They ran her body all around the house and yard, fur everywhere. No tags, no mercy.” 7:11:14 AM 5/17/04 “morning all!!! I swear I still smell like alcohol.” 7:14:13 AM 5/17/04 “So sorry treebait. Indeed, keep an eye out for those dogs, but also report the incident to your local Humane Society office or animal control department. Those dogs likely pose a continuing danger to other pets and persons. May Maow's presence remain in your life through more joyful memories.” 7:40:12 AM 5/17/04 “treebait, so sorry to hear about your loss. Take comfort in the memories.” 7:44:16 AM 5/17/04 “that stinks treebait, heck yeah report that to the animal control people. I'm up and I'm even at work. I didn't shave though. This way I can at least still feel a little piece of Trail Days even though I'm way down here again.” 7:49:58 AM 5/17/04 “treebait...awww, I am so sorry. I haven't read your post. my neigbor just brough me our cat this morning. A car run over it. I don't know how to tell my kids. roam: lol.” 8:01:48 AM 5/17/04 “That's just awful, Treebait. May justice be swift and sure ---” 9:03:11 AM 5/17/04 Jump to Page << prev
