One benefit of being there as a "nonemployee" though is he's finally willing to pay me more. Now I get to face off with the temp smoker who's there. Yech.” 7:10:30 AM 7/15/04 ““I'm still working at being a professional traffic backer-uper.” I’ll never forget the time my dad got stuck behind a big line of cars. He jammed on the gas and started passing the whole bunch cursing and swearing at the one holding everyone up. He got to the head of the line and it was my elderly grandmother holding everyone up! He was cursing his own mother! LOL!” 8:33:31 AM 7/15/04 “To continue the vacation day talk from yesterday..... I got to listen to my supervisor (who spends his days whining to anyone who'll listen and going out for two hour long breaks instead of working) tell me the reason we're so far behind in our work is that I'm taking my vacation time. So far I've taken two days and I have seven more sceduled for this summer. He's a bassturd. I spent last week doing his job and got more work done than he has all summer. =( I'm sure glad I don't have to work for this knucklehead all year! So, needless to say I was cranky at work last night. Wolfeyes saved me and met me for a beer afterwards, kept me out way too long, and now my head hurts! Can't wait to get the coffee down so I can switch to water. (Mooooaaaaan, lol)” 8:42:13 AM 7/15/04 “Sass - it makes my head hurt just remembering those days...not to mention that cotton mouth feeling. Heading out to thru hike the Superior Hiking Trail either tomorrow or the next day. It will either be 200 or 240 miles, depending on whether or not I stop at Canada. This is my big prep venture prior to my AT thru hike of next year. I plan to check out some gear, learn a lot more, burst a few of my bubbles and preconceptions and, just maybe, lose a little more weight and have fun. I'm thinking of taking my bike and stashing it at the trail end for the return trip to my vehicle. There is a shuttle, but.... Time to get moving; breakfast, straighten up the house, pack some gear, work a couple of hours, make some lists...take a nap. Have a great day.” 9:35:36 AM 7/15/04 “SE, it's not that bad, thank goodness. Just alittle dehydration. Packing and planning for a trip like that is almost as much fun as the hiking! Enjoy your day.” 9:43:06 AM 7/15/04 “Sass, beer or not you should be at the gym. What are you doing home this time of day you slacker ;)” 9:47:46 AM 7/15/04 “I never knew you folks had such a problem with fish crap up there, LOL --- This whole 'bassturd' business.... is that like the freshwater version of "lower than whale #&%!$"? <G>” 10:09:52 AM 7/15/04 “Crappie turd's the lowest” 10:21:06 AM 7/15/04 “Then there's that situation with the catfish....” 10:49:30 AM 7/15/04 “good morning! Another clear day in Montana! Gonna be a cooker again today. What's it like on the east side, Aero? Was some lightening in the hills during the night. I wonder if it started any fires. Guess I could look it up. There was a great documentary on PBS last night about the Storm Mountain Fire in Colorado back in '94. Awesome but I only caught part of it.” 11:47:19 AM 7/15/04 “Ewker, resting up for this Saturday's event, silly. You never listen to me! Or maybe you just can't keep what female says what straight with all the dates you've been on. ;) No gym today, just the grocery store.” 12:35:02 PM 7/15/04 “The weatherman lied yesterday -- it only got up to 97°.” 12:35:27 PM 7/15/04 “You enjoy every moment of vacation woman. It's been well earned I'm sure. And prehydrate - team gear sluts needs you in good shape by tomorrow 8-D” 12:46:44 PM 7/15/04 “prehydrate..Sass, drink lots of beer today :-O” 12:48:42 PM 7/15/04 “no more beer!” 3:47:03 PM 7/15/04 “Are you having to pay Gear Slut a royalty to use the name? LOL” 6:46:15 PM 7/15/04 “No, we added an "S" to avoid that. ;) There were Gear Sluts here well before it showed up. Goodmorning everyone! I get to work with the fishsh1t today, lol. Poor man will probably need a nap after work. You all have a great Friday!” 5:07:52 AM 7/16/04 “I know there are plenty of generic gear sluts, but I didn't know whether or not there had been previous Gear Sluts per se (be they animal, vegetable or mineral, LOL). It looks like our mini-heatwave broke before the A/C blew a line, PTL! Wednesday was pretty bad... A/C and ceiling fans all on full blast... I even had to grab a couple of oscillating fans out of the attic (I don't wanna know how hot it was up there, but it was worth it in the long run).” 7:27:26 AM 7/16/04 “Last coffee before my trip. I've got to vacuum, make the bed,fold some clothes, clean the bathroom, take out the trash and leave a note for the mailman. If I didn't live in a small house I'd be here for another day 8-)” 7:51:06 AM 7/16/04 “Yay, I don't have to work today! Now all I have to do is take care of Laurel, clean the house, hit the grocery store, try and get HPM's car repaired, go to the bank, and any other errands!” 7:55:35 AM 7/16/04 Snake Eyes “ 7:57:33 AM 7/16/04 “Good morning you all. Atmospheric conditions in the northwoods of Wisconsin made for a great sunrise coming up over the opposite shore this morning. The bass were jumping, two great blue herrons flew over and landed near by, the loons were singing, a plate sized turtle checked me out, and the crows created enough racket to wake up the nearest neighbor a quarter mile awy when a bald eagle landed in a tree they were near. Them crows really do ot like bald eagles.” 7:34:06 AM 7/17/04 “Good morning. All you beautiful people have a great day. I was wondering why they don't ban cars in Iraq. That could end the car bombings.” 7:35:18 AM 7/17/04 “They used to say the fastest game around was "Pass the Parcel" in a Belfast pub.” 7:37:34 AM 7/17/04 “good afternoon. Yeah, I'm late, so bite me! I was up this morning but didn't get online til now. 103 degrees in the shade today. Don't think I'll go to the river until later! whew! Glad I got the air conditioner put in the other day. everyone must be at Ithaca. Is it raining there?” 4:39:05 PM 7/17/04 “Good morning. It's still dark with 28 minutes until sunrise. Don't understand why they call no moon a "new moon." Enjoy you day.” 5:33:46 AM 7/18/04 “Good morning Nowslimmer, and you all. I drank my coffee down at the dock while the bluegills broke the surface feeding in the shallows. An immature bald eagle flew across the lake and perched on the top of a large white pine about 100 yards from me across the water. I watched the eagle in the binoculars twisting its neck around looking for food and dangers. Finally a crow flew along, sighted the eagle,and decided to land in the nearest large tree. The crow then commenced to disturb the peace and quiet with its cawing. After about five minutes, the eagle left for a more quiet surroundings, and I was left to finish my coffee watching the mist slowyly rise off the lake with dead calm conditons. Now it is time to troll the internet.” 7:11:16 AM 7/18/04 “Grey skies this AM. Was thinking about washing the car but I better check that forecast ---” 7:28:13 AM 7/18/04 “93/69 PC and 30% chance of storms for the next few days. Coffee, Le Tour and quiet for now.” 8:14:42 AM 7/18/04 “ "quiet for now."The calm before the Ithaca group returns.” 8:27:52 AM 7/18/04 “Oh yeah.... live coverage on OLN started 30 minutes ago.....” 8:36:12 AM 7/18/04 “Morning Y'all.....I hope ya have a great day!!!!!...today is day 8 in a row for work and 4 to go after that....then I am heading out to the wilderness..... HUGS” 4:50:13 AM 7/19/04 Them Nashville Cats They're Clean As Country Water “I'm up. I went to see The Del McCoury Band last night and all I have in my head this morning is their music.” 6:27:45 AM 7/19/04 “My morning isn't as pleasant as Prosecutor's but lovely just the same. There's something about waking up in the morning, sipping that first cup of coffee and knowing you don't have to work in the market place. Aaaaaah... :) Of course, my three kids will keep me running but that's a job I take pleasure in. Good day to you all! Warm wishes,” 7:12:09 AM 7/19/04 “I didn't wash the car yesterday, so Of Course it didn't rain... (Wasn't that John Sebastian?) Pick it...” 7:23:05 AM 7/19/04 “Good morning. My youngest daughter is 21 today. Wow. Have a great week, everyone.” 7:29:28 AM 7/19/04 “Good morning. My how fast they grow up Nowslimmer.” 7:43:19 AM 7/19/04 “Nice easy ride this morning. Guess I gotta eat and go to work now.” 7:48:59 AM 7/19/04 “They sure do grow up fast, prosecutor. But I've aged with them. But now, after 43 years of children, I'm ready to start living. Let's see, where's my cane? I'm going to try to make it to the rocking chair on the porch!” 8:03:44 AM 7/19/04 Good morning. “How come it's so dark out there this morning?” 2:52:13 AM 7/20/04 “So I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep... And here's NS posting on the Get Up thread! Noooooooooooooo... it's toooooooooooooo eeeaaaaarrrrrrrrlyyyyyyyy...” 3:00:34 AM 7/20/04 “Just trying to get a step up on the morning's postings. But watchdog Tilt is on guard. Watch out with the weasel. There's a new bird hanging around here somewhere.” 3:24:22 AM 7/20/04 “Morning!!!....are you two up for the am or not asleep yet???...I thought I was the only one up this early ever??” 4:11:04 AM 7/20/04 “Goodmorning! I'm leaving to take four girls to camp. This should prove to be a fun drive! This is my first year to be the designated parent. I hope I survive! ;o)” 7:15:57 AM 7/20/04 “Good luck Sunny! Got your earplugs?” 7:19:29 AM 7/20/04 “Good morning you all. When I got up this morning at 4:00 a.m., I went food shopping at the local 24 hour grocery. But it looks like all the action was here on this thread.” 7:42:26 AM 7/20/04 Good morning, again. “Food! I need to recheck my mail. Maybe I missed the invitation.” 7:49:31 AM 7/20/04 “dang, NS your gonna want to take a nap around 10:00 am! lol” 8:00:11 AM 7/20/04 “It's another dark morning out there. What good is a new moon, if no one can see it?” 1:42:22 AM 7/21/04 Burning the candle at both ends. “No tilt! That's good. Maybe he'll sleep all night. I hope so. I worry about him, he needs more rest!” 2:20:38 AM 7/21/04 Jump to Page << prev
