Sun went down to reveal the city lights below. I would really rather play today.” 7:42:54 AM 8/05/05 “coffee.........coffee.......” 8:00:18 AM 8/05/05 “well, while the coffee's brewing I'll tell you about last night. Storms blew in and the lightning was striking all around the house. Wind, rain, beautiful rain, and it was nice and dark in the house. So I cleaned the fish tank and straightened up the computer area. Sounds exciting, huh?” 8:09:03 AM 8/05/05 “Good morning, everyone. Time to start getting ready for a great weekend. chappy - Do you have some relatives in or from Germany, including yourself? Have you lived there?” 8:13:38 AM 8/05/05 “O, mama! Is this coffee ever good. Today is prep for tomorrow. Meet at 8:00 tomorrow morn at ranger station, check equipment, get a couple more 7.5 min topos, hit the trail for a hike (I'm guessing about 10 miles), make some new friends, see some new woods.” 8:15:52 AM 8/05/05 “Slim, I was in Germany from '76-'78 with the Army. I was stationed in Ulm on the Donau (Danube) river. Loved it. I'll put an album up with some pics later.” 8:17:26 AM 8/05/05 “For me it was "Macht nichts in 56!" I was stationed in Stuttgart, '55-57. Survived two October Fests. Say, I won a date with Smokygirl by throwing in a little German.” 8:34:09 AM 8/05/05 “Lol Chappy, I have to clean the fish tanks and around the computer too! And the kitchen, and the laundry, and Laurel's tiys, etc., etc., ad nauseum.” 8:44:58 AM 8/05/05 “Dang Tree, sounds like your busy. All I had this morning was a dug up water pipe (electrical company diggin hit it) but I patched it together. Hot, dirty, fixed.” 1:25:14 PM 8/05/05 “It's 5:30 am. Coffee and a one hour trip to the trailhead. This will be fun. :)” 6:11:31 AM 8/06/05 “I am up :) never got that storm last night so it is going to be another hazy humid hot day! so we are off to the lake to go swimming. taking twignuts friends. these kids have not been to a lake since they were in dipers. so i am looking forward to treating them to kayaking and swimming and lunch at the lake.” 7:08:25 AM 8/06/05 OOOOOO “Good morning. Have fun, Chappy and maplewood. Sure wish I coujld get myself fired-up and moving this morning. Maybe another cup of coffee will help. . last edited: 8/06/05 7:39:06 AM” 7:37:57 AM 8/06/05 “That sounds fabulous Maple! I want to come too. This morning it's 64°. Not sure what it's going to shoot up to but I bet it won't be too bad. I'll be in a basement classroom again though. Why does school always fall on the gorgeous weekends? Or maybe it's just that all weekends seem gorgeous when your stuck in a basement? Oh well, maybe I'll get to throw the frisbee at lunch time.” 7:48:11 AM 8/06/05 “High of 83 today, slight chance of thunderstorms. should be very nice! Need to get in a bike workout, may follow that with a hike. :D LIVESTRONG” 10:42:29 AM 8/06/05 “I'm back from the trail. Actually, it wasn't a hike but trail maintenance. We mowed about three miles of the Lone Star Trail (Stubblefield North/Bath section). See lshtclub.com for details/maps/etc. It was about 100 out there, so lots of water, GU PowerGel, and StarKist lunchable. Look at my photo for "lshtclub" for this mornings work crew. Have a good day (whats left of it) y'all.” 4:11:25 PM 8/06/05 “All right, UP! You've had many extra hours to sleep off your Saturday night. Coffee is on the table. Drink the prune juice first, along with two aspirin. No crap now, GET UP!” 9:35:33 AM 8/07/05 “Got up and went for a 4 hour ride. Nice. Sunrise over the Sandias, into the canyon. Up from high desert to juniper and pinion and back.” 11:52:12 AM 8/07/05 “Pathman - You 12:00:10 PM 8/07/05 Landing delayed until 6:22 A.M. EDT “Good morning. Woke up to watch the shuttle landing, but it has been delayed because of weather. the weather is calm here in Melbourne. I can see a few stars in different parts of the sky.” 3:35:42 AM 8/08/05 No Landing Today “Weather unsettled. There will be two windows for landing tomorrow here in florida, and one in California.” 4:48:52 AM 8/08/05 “supposed to be a nice day here. went for a leisurely hike in the mountain forest yesterday afternoon. It was a lazy afternoon around the house, I decided to trade that for a 65F forest trail.” 7:36:25 AM 8/08/05 “Good morning, you, you and you. However, I'm not talking to you and you! 6:32:05 AM 8/09/05 “Good morning hugs from south Alabama.....hot and humid...(go figure..)....today I have to pack for my trip....wooo hoooo......schools are starting here already......short summer vacation......next year I will have a pool...!!!” 7:13:06 AM 8/09/05 OO “Hmmm. Moving up in the world!” 7:27:59 AM 8/09/05 “Gooood morning! Another hot day. The vegetables got an hour long watering last night so we should get some rain today, whether it's called for or not.” 7:35:11 AM 8/09/05 “Morning! We got back late last night from a lovely trip to Michigan's Upper Penninsula. Wish I was still there. I hate coming back. We had great weather, Superior didn't feel all that cold (we went swimming in it twice!) and reuniting with old friends was wonderful. Now its back to the grind. :(” 8:22:54 AM 8/09/05 does "you" include me? “Slim, give me your address and I'll send you a clean coffee mug. BTW, you, you, and you; not you, I've posted a new album with all the topographic maps of the whole Lone Star Hiking Trail that I scanned into my comp. I've even added little hikers to show you the way. YIPPEE! See the album "Lone Star Hiking Trail". But wait a few minutes so I can actually set the album up. :)” 5:15:05 PM 8/09/05 “I looked at the club's maps previously. They gave me no idea where the place was located, but now I found it. It's near the Houston Air Port. I used to live in Seabrook, not far from League City. Two of us did drive up to that area of Texas, but we were more interested in seeing that large lake and girls. (No, not at Boy's town.) I could use that clean coffee mug. These styrofoam cups are rough to get clean, to get the stains out. I soaked them in gasoline and it worked. However, the cups disappeared. My address after a few days and until around the end of October will be: Nowslimmer General Delivery Bryson City, TN 28713 last edited: 8/09/05 6:20:18 PM” 6:11:08 PM 8/09/05 “90 s again here in n.y. cant wait for fall to get back out on some longer hikes again-” 6:16:38 PM 8/09/05 “Oops, Change that address to: Nowslimmer General Delivery Bryson City, NC 28713” 6:27:27 PM 8/09/05 “Good morning. Things are quiet, Discovery landed safely in California, Tropical depression Irene weakens and the rocks have stopped flying in TT. Have a great day.” 6:25:51 AM 8/10/05 “Hottest summer on record, officially, in Michigan history. Today is day 19 of over 90° weather.” 7:28:47 AM 8/10/05 “Morning hugs!!!!! just checking my mail and TT before I pack my car....drive to Decatur today....pick up my son....visit with #2 daughter....and Pat....drive to Mt Vernon Ohio tomorrow to see #1 daughter........L O N G drive....and my son likes to sleep in car.....so, I may just get lonely...lol.... Y'all have a GREAT day today and I'll check in Friday am.....wish me safe journey!!!” 7:39:17 AM 8/10/05 OOO “Ok, have a safe journey.” 7:43:25 AM 8/10/05 Ugh “Rode my bike to work yesterday. Big mistake on call. Got stuck at work till 10pm, had to ride crosstown ABQ 11 miles. No major events, but late night, early morning meeting. TGFC. [Thank Goodness for Coffee] The ride was surprisingly nice, though. Only had one carload of punks yell at me. At least they didn't throw anything.” 7:47:26 AM 8/10/05 “motorcycle or bicycle???” 7:50:19 AM 8/10/05 ------> YOU ARE HERE “Uh.....Slim, do you know what state you'll be in? LOL. The Lone Star Trail is north of Houston on 45 just south of Huntsville or north of Houston on 59 at Cleveland. This is in Texas by the way. I'll mail you out a gasoline-proof mug soon.” 7:51:03 AM 8/10/05 “I'm pretty sure Pathman was on a bicycle. Morning everyone. I've got nothing new to say to you all, other than I hope you all have a great day!” 7:52:15 AM 8/10/05 “Safe journey Div! I always liked riding home from work, at 11:30pm, much better than riding to work at 2pm. I did ride much faster though.” 7:52:21 AM 8/10/05 “I could use that clean coffee mug. These styrofoam cups are rough to get clean, to get the stains out. I soaked them in gasoline and it worked. However, the cups disappeared. nowslimmer 6:11:08 PM 8/09/05 LOL..hahahahahaha........nothing better than a good coffee mug!!!!!!” 7:54:45 AM 8/10/05 The Trusty Steed “  ”7:55:03 AM 8/10/05 “Sass...so I don't have to worry about getting cold in Ohio????....sounds like y'all are having hotter weather than here in Mobile.....strange.......” 7:56:58 AM 8/10/05 “Divinity, when I lived in Ohio (Columbus)it did snow some, but it was only a 'dusting', not the burials we had in Pennsylvania. However, there was one time when it was 72 degrees the day before Christmas in Pa. so go figure.” 8:01:33 AM 8/10/05 “I don't know about Ohio but it's hotter than ever here. It's getting to the point where I'm getting used to it.” 8:04:24 AM 8/10/05 “LOL>.ok...a few years back, I visited, and ended up wrapped up in a blanket the whole time.....I guess I am getting used to the heat of Alabama...Chappy..isn't Columbus wonderful????...I LOVE it.... ...I guess I'll bring a jacket just in case....” 8:08:45 AM 8/10/05 Sweat “I feel good after a long morning in the woods doing trail maintenence and sweating my arsenic off...ridding the body of those nasty "free radicals" (no, Slim, not Al Queda).” 8:09:37 AM 8/10/05 Divinity “Well, Div, I was in Columbus from '64-'67 so it's been awhile, but it was almost too much for a young man from the forests of the Appalachians of Pa. However, I did return to Pa. till I turned 20 and went to Germany for a couple years. Talk about cold....that country had normal temps in the 20's and below to -20 in the winters, but I was in the Black Forest region, south. BRRRRRRRRRRRR...........” 8:15:02 AM 8/10/05 “ Uh.....Slim, do you know what state you'll be in?Of course, but it is difficult. When Texas started to grow up, they stole city names from other states. The real Huntsville is in Alabama, the real Onalaska is in Wisconsin, etc. With that Houston traffic, it did seem like 50 miles from the airport to the downtown area. From there, if you stay on I-45, driving south you'll reach League City. It's about halfway from Houston to Galveston. If you drive east from Huntsville on 156 toward Onalaska, you'll reach that large lake that I mentioned. So, sure, I'll know what state I'll be in. I know where I've been. I just don't know where I'm going! LOL. BTW, while I was in germany, I went to northern Sweden in the cold and snow of winter. A friend of mine got married up there. last edited: 8/10/05 8:57:02 AM” 8:52:34 AM 8/10/05 Deutschland “I managed to get to Belgium, Austria, Switzerland while over there, but with all the beer and schnitzel it's hard to remember too much about the place EXCEPT the cold.” 9:21:32 AM 8/10/05 and another thing...... “there is a 'neu ulm' texas, too. I was stationed in Neu Ulm, Germany.” 9:23:02 AM 8/10/05 Jump to Page << prev
