Fall is definitely in the air. A nice crisp 41 degrees this morning on the walk with the dog. TGIF!” 5:30:47 AM 9/24/04 “WOW, I'm only about 40 degrees ahead of you skiracer! mornin yall, getting ready to go batten down the office. Again. I'm sick of hurricanes.” 6:15:38 AM 9/24/04 “Good morning. A beautiful day is starting here in Melbourne, Florida. But the barometer is falling, so trim the top-sail, fill the ballast tanks, seal the bulkheads and clear the weather deck. We're in for a good blow, my hearty mates.” 4:51:53 AM 9/25/04 “N.S. - if your house blows away it's because you forgot to batten down the hatches and set the weather watch. Man oh man.” 8:43:06 PM 9/26/04 “Snakeyes.......it is evening!!!...you just get up??/” 8:51:07 PM 9/26/04 “No, just got back from a solo hike on the SHT...and now it's the next day already.” 8:48:18 PM 9/27/04 “Sitting here at work with my first cup of coffee. mmmm.... g'mornin' everyone. It's going to be a great day!” 7:09:34 AM 9/29/04 “It is, I can tell! No one's throwing up today and it's orientation for preschool this morning. My baby is going to school, woooo-hoooo! =) She's going to love it.” 7:15:43 AM 9/29/04 “Is the orientation more for the parents or the kids, sass?” 7:23:54 AM 9/29/04 “Mmmmmm...sitting here with a cup of coffee, watching the sun come up, window open, birds singing. It is going to be a beautiful day! How cute Sass, I hope she has a good first day! (don't cry where she can see you ; ) )” 7:27:26 AM 9/29/04 “Preschool is great, it really helps the kids get ready for the real thing. Before ya know it, she'll be graduating from college.” 8:48:12 AM 9/29/04 “It's was for both of us Ski. The kids did activities and stuff while the parents got the low down. No tears Skullcap; I'm too excited for her. Bit you are so right, time is zooming by! I can see why people have kid after kid after kid. They just don't stay babies long enough.” 11:42:22 AM 9/29/04 “Last day of September...and there's a chill in the air. I love autumn in New England!” 5:32:20 AM 9/30/04 “Amen, ski. I'm actually going to wear a jacket to work today (presently 37 degrees out).” 5:49:57 AM 9/30/04 “We've had lows in the forties, and I think 39° one night. Busted out the down comforter and slept with the windows open. There's no better sleep! I love this time of year!” 8:27:09 AM 9/30/04 “Mornin’ Sass! That’s how I sleep! Nothin’ better. I also slept with the ceiling fan on too but woke up with a scratchy throat. Man, my ass is dragging. The coffee pot at work broke so I don’t get my cupa until two hours after getting up. I’m just now seeing clearly.” 8:42:07 AM 9/30/04 “Hi, The night of 9/28 it was down to 27 and only 34 at 0900. I don't know how cold it got last night, but it's 58 in the house. I kind of like the challenge of not turning on the heat and just drinking coffee and putting on warmer clothes. It's sort of a hardening process for the winter to come. Too early to go sissy just yet.” 8:43:00 AM 9/30/04 “It's the end of September? Thank God. September sucks.” 8:58:17 AM 9/30/04 “They're forecasting snow flurries tonight!! Ahhhhh!” 9:25:36 AM 9/30/04 “SE, same here. Still haven't turned on the furnace or closed the windows. Inside temps got to 62° the other day, just cool enough for long sleeves and slippers. A good excuse to bake something and fuss about the kitchen for awhile.” 10:59:35 AM 9/30/04 “My wife will be running the A/C well into October, and possibly into November. When the kids' faces and fingers turn blue, I can usually convince her to turn the damn thing off.” 11:02:33 AM 9/30/04 “lmao bitpusher. i'm not turning my a/c off just yet, it's around 85 outside today.” 11:10:16 AM 9/30/04 The Power of Power! “I love you all. But until power was restored a few minutes ago, I hated you all.” 12:43:29 PM 9/30/04 “Welcome back, NS!” 12:52:24 PM 9/30/04 “Thanks, smiley girl.” 12:58:46 PM 9/30/04 “LOL Bit, tree asked me this morning if I was growing fur because I get hot so easy. He swears that he will wake up one morning to find a penguin on my pillow...” 1:09:06 PM 9/30/04 “"because I get hot so easy" I hope he's not complaining!” 2:42:10 PM 9/30/04 “Good morning. How nice it is to have a working computer in the morning. Have a great day.” 8:09:27 AM 10/01/04 “Hi Folks, I'm heading out the door in a couple of minutes for another weekend on the Superior Trail and it's raining hard and cold outside. I don't know about you, but I don't mind too much if it starts raining once I'm already out there, but it really torques me to leave the house in pouring rain. A wimp, I guess, but this is part of my thru hike hardening up process and must be done. Thank God I've had my coffee.” 8:15:25 AM 10/01/04 “Morning Nowslimmer. Snake Eyes, if you're planning on thru-hiking the AT next year, you may as well get used to starting in the rain now.” 9:11:48 AM 10/01/04 Good morning, all. “  73°F. in Melbourne, FL. Have a great day. 7:42:52 AM 10/02/04 “Good Morning, Back early from my latest SHT trip. The weather, cold, rainy and morning ice on the creek edges, wasn't the problem. It was those folks dressed up in blaze orange shooting up the woods. According to the trail association they ain't supposed to be there yet. My first night out there was gunshots all night long. Not supposed to be, but there sure was. I guess it's time to hike Wisconsin for awhile, assuming that I'll have better odds with bow hunters.” 10:14:05 AM 10/03/04 “Good morning, 23 degrees here right now...at 8:05 a.m. Wonder how cold it got last night? Supposed to get up to 49, but lots of sunshine. This just may be my favorite time of year, but they're all good. Bit - that's exactly why I'm going out in this weather, to gradually acclimate myself to cold nasty conditions. That, and to check out new gear. Getting out of the tent and into the weather isn't the problem, it's abandoning that warm & cozy house that tells me "you don't have to go out there, stay here where it's cozy & warm". It's sort of like the Fram oil filter guy, "pay me now or pay me later", except in this case it's probably "pay me now AND pay me later", lol.” 8:29:05 AM 10/04/04 “better get yourself one of those pretty orange hats Snake Eyes!. In season, I usually put an orange vest on my pack too. But, I used to carry a green pack. Its red now, so that may not be as necessary, but it'll make me feel better.” 8:32:20 AM 10/04/04 “Yah SE, you alluded to that in your earlier post, but I missed it in my quick reading.” 8:38:04 AM 10/04/04 “Good morning....time to go back to sleep. LOL Two days worth of double shifts can really drain ya :) will sleep a little longer then I got to go to work again. :) AH Monday. But at least its only second shift today.” 9:39:09 AM 10/04/04 “Good morning. It's a beautiful day in Melbourne, Florida,_____No snow!” 5:32:39 AM 10/05/04 “First hard frost last night. Picked all the remaining tomatoes yesterday evening. Will work on tearing up the garden this week.” 8:44:14 AM 10/05/04 “I was thinking of ya this morning Sass. It was down right cold and I thought, “Wonder if Sass finely closed the windows?”. LOL!” 8:52:58 AM 10/05/04 “I think she closed them "coarsely".” 8:56:08 AM 10/05/04 “When I got home from work they were closed Nigal. And the furnace was on too.” 9:03:54 AM 10/05/04 “Yep, had my furnace on for the first time last night as well. I was hoping that today would be the last time I had to go to my math class, as I'm 90% sure I failed the first test along with a million other reasons, I was planning to drop the clas. But the ba$tard won't have the tests graded until next week, so I gotta stick it out until then! What a schmuck!!” 9:22:15 AM 10/05/04 “Furnaces! Good Gravy People! LOL, its still in the mid 80's down here! Humidity is dropping though.” 9:24:07 AM 10/05/04 “It's getting close to the time when we'll have to think about turning on our heat, as well. I'm trying to hold off as long as possible. When the house fails to get above the high 50's during the day, it will be time.” 9:26:34 AM 10/05/04 “Heat! Ah, I should move north so I can get warm.” 9:29:01 AM 10/05/04 “We don't turn our heat on until the middle of November. We have one of those oil space heaters we have in the living room. It was chilly enough this morning though I turned the heat on for just a bit and then shut it back off.” 10:01:38 AM 10/05/04 “That's what I do, Nigal. A little heat so it's toasty for getting out of the shower. After that I fire up the exploding fireplace.” 10:23:17 AM 10/05/04 “Good morning. A few showers are hitting Melbourne and it's almost cold, 76°F. Have a great day.” 4:00:42 AM 10/06/04 “Good morning - up for almost 2 hours, way too early. Coffee pot is already empty. Today's Plan: Winterize the outboard motor that I never got around to using last summer. 54 degrees this morning, a veritable heat wave.” 7:13:02 AM 10/06/04 “Yes indeed! Highs of 72° today. Going to start packing for a weekend kayaking trip. Cannot wait to get on the water!” 7:15:27 AM 10/06/04 Jump to Page << prev
