Wow, thin blood.” 8:16:49 AM 9/30/05 “it's been in the 40s and 50s here... 68 is higher than I keep my heat in winter...” 8:17:10 AM 9/30/05 “Morning! I slept 10 hours last night, after a 2.5 hour nap. I'm feeling better today, though, despite the nasty cough that's still hanging around. I love the fall, but dang it, I get sick because of it EVERY stinkin' year! My fiance is coming to see me today, we're taking engagement pictures on his motorcycle tomorrow. :)) Have a good day everyone!” 11:32:12 AM 9/30/05 “It's not Katrina but.... Eastern Montana, parts of the Dakotas and Wyoming got dumped on with a heavy wet snow. It was two feet in some places and since the leaves haven't fallen, it broke branches and downed power lines all over. We've been without power at home for the last two days and it's been below freezing at night--you could see your breath in the kitchen this morning-- so I have to come in to work to warm up! We had branches down all over our yard. Tuesday night you could hear limbs cracking and crashing to the ground! So, it's been a little like car camping the last few days; we've got food in the coolers and are using backpacking stoves and headlamps! Do these count as a bag nights?” 9:13:48 AM 10/06/05 “Ah, the great thing about owning camping gear. When loss of power takes you back to the 19th century, you're ready!” 9:17:31 AM 10/06/05 “Only this time we have hot water and a flush toilet!” 9:20:51 AM 10/06/05 Aero? “  ”9:31:10 AM 10/06/05 “two feet of snow, in the beginning of October?? holy shizzle! i hope you get power back soon, Aero...and in the meantime, in my professional opinion, i think you should get some monkeys to fill your bed with and they will keep you warm.” 9:33:02 AM 10/06/05 “That's exactly what our yard looks like, bit! We had one big limb just miss the pickup parked out in the driveway! That's about how much snow we had here. That's called a "Three Monkey Night", right, lyra?” 9:45:48 AM 10/06/05 Here's what we got! “  ”9:49:53 AM 10/06/05 “Wow Aero that's beautiful and dangerous.” 9:51:40 AM 10/06/05 “Ahhh, Autumn in Billings!  Here's a bunch more... http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?display=/newgallery/20051005storm/index1.php It's supposed to be in the high 60's by Friday, though! last edited: 10/06/05 9:54:53 AM” 9:52:37 AM 10/06/05 “that's insane! you best be careful out there, homeslice.” 9:53:01 AM 10/06/05 “Dang I miss snow.” 9:53:59 AM 10/06/05 “Oh, great. My mom & dad are in Ireland on vacation. Good thing they drained the sprinkler pipes and prepped the house for "winter" before they left!!” 9:54:46 AM 10/06/05 “There's probably a big branch poking through their roof by now!” 9:55:54 AM 10/06/05 “60's by Friday? So they'll come home and find all these tree branches broken all over the place but no snow anywhere and wonder "WTF?!"” 9:57:33 AM 10/06/05 “On second thought, I can't imagine my mom and dad uttering the phrase, "WTF".... Probably more like, "Gosh!" last edited: 10/06/05 10:00:12 AM” 9:59:43 AM 10/06/05 “Great googley-moogley?” 10:01:58 AM 10/06/05 Good morning. “ "Do these count as a bag nights?"Count whatever you like. However, inside exposure is different than outside exposure. I did not count two nights ago when I was chased away from my campsite by a troublesome bear and tried to sleep in the cab of a dump truck, but still deep in the woods. See thread, "Bear Encounters." Treebait - Where will you and your daughter be visiting in GSMNP? last edited: 10/06/05 10:09:30 AM” 10:05:25 AM 10/06/05 “I think it should count since I could see my breath in our house this morning! ...and that cold toilet seat---Yowza! last edited: 10/06/05 10:17:02 AM” 10:16:12 AM 10/06/05 “You deserve a "blue" ribbon!” 10:21:33 AM 10/06/05 “it is rainy here in the city. makes it gloomy. I feel like crap :( but twignut agreed to foster a newborn (well 2 weeks old) kitten YEAH!! im going to be a foster grandma” 7:05:04 AM 10/07/05 “Good Morning hugs from Lower Alabama....finally starting to cool down....in the 70s today!!!!!.... ....Red Tide moving this way....so oysters are worth 3 times more..... ...appliances are like gold.... ...and there ARE hotel rooms open down here.... ....going job hunting again today.... ...and fishing this weekend...wooo hoooo” 7:08:40 AM 10/07/05 “I love kittens. Happy Friday!!” 7:10:47 AM 10/07/05 “Hey Div, at least you can get oysters over there still. There's none to be had in Florida. NS, we're coming up the 14th/15th.” 8:20:50 AM 10/07/05 “I think it's been at least 2 years since we've had any accumulated snow here in Auburn, Al.” 8:29:34 AM 10/07/05 “There hasn't been snow accumulation here since 1989.” 8:41:55 AM 10/07/05 “Good morning. It's raining in the Smokies, but should be nice by the time you arrive, treebait.” 10:32:40 AM 10/07/05 “We had snow accumulation close to sea level here in 1976.” 10:51:43 AM 10/07/05 “if I want snow I'll hike in the mountains...always snow there. well...almost” 10:56:28 AM 10/07/05 “There's fresh snow on the front range THIS MORNING!

Been up since 5 AM, when my live trap caught a raccoon in my attic. Picture on the What kind of critter is in my attic? thread. last edited: 10/09/05 8:32:06 AM” 8:29:13 AM 10/09/05 “hey mapes, thats a lot of work but fun and worth it. Kittens that are raised by hand like that are much easier to leesh and trail train. I know. I had one for day 2 and he loved hikin and fishin. He loved swimmin too!” 9:37:12 AM 10/09/05 “It was a wild weather weekend here this weekend. My rain guage recorded 6.5 inches of rain from Friday night through Sunday morning. The news was reporting that the area got between 6 and 11 inches of rain, depending on where you were. Bridges and roads have been washed out and abput a dozen homes south of here were washed away. There were two deathes from drowning were reported about 10 miles from here. Police speculate that two people tried to drive through flood waters and didn't know the road had completely washed out under them. It's a good thing I live on a hill.” 8:07:20 AM 10/10/05 “Just hope the hill doesn't decide to slide down, Skiracer. You'd be in for a wild ride. We're finally starting to dry out here after more than a week of rain. The dry season doesn't really start until late October here. There's mushrooms galore growing around my yard, my white house is turning green from the algae, and the wooden porches are slick from absorbing water. Time to dry.” 8:27:42 AM 10/10/05 “Good morning. Just came from Balsam Mtn. CG, which closes today at noon for the season. It is a real gem in the sky, a mile high. Had a great weekend there. Have a wonderful day.” 11:31:55 AM 10/10/05 Jump to Page << prev
