59°F., 10 degrees warmer and a bright sun is climbing higher to where it can do some good. It took about an hour to do my shopping. ToysR'US was a breeze, while it took a while at Best Buy to locate what I wanted. They had a line, but it moved fairly fast.

My crutches are wonderful, the cat's meow! People treat me so much better and try to be helpful. That and my Disabled Parking Permit make life more enjoyable.

The munching is done with the zwieback, if it is not dipped into the coffee long enough.

I loved being in country. I did alot of Volksmarches and bicycling around the country side on weekends. Usually, I would grab my sleeping bag and a daypack and walk all weekend in one direction, visiting all the Gasthaus's along the way, sleeping in the woods each night. On Sunday afternoon, I would catch a bus back to Ulm for Monday morning formation. No religious retreats because I wasn't too religious at that time in life..just looking for fun and frauleins.

The retreats were not charged as leave time. And most of the time was free for sightseeing.

You were in a great location. At least one smart person came from there! Did you climb to the top of this:"

Ah, the Munster....yes, many times. Cost was five DM, but what a view. I have many slides I took going up and at the top also. I have about 300 slides from Germany. I'll put one of the Munster up in a minute.

I took my slides to WalMart and had them put my slides on a CD to go in my computer. It wasn't too cheap, but a nice way to preserve them. I have about 200 slides from Syria, Jordon, and Israel I need to get put on CD. But it's worth it for security's sake.

Too bad about the car Paul. I remember reading a car review article that stated which cars had the best "cockroach" rating, meaning which lasted the longest. Can't remember which one it was, though.
We're on day 5 of Koi Pond 2.0, and we're both hurting from moving a few tons of dirt around. Now we're ready for the really scary part; all the plumbing.

Good morning from Melbourne, Florida, 44°F. and dropping, but later ---> 72°F. Warm-up welcomed for weekend plans.

Thanks, treebait. You know, if you throw a good fishfry every now and then, a larger swimming pool for the fish would not be necessary.

Good morning, MDSHiker. I suggest letting everyone sleep. I may go back to bed myself. It's nice to stay in a warm sack until the temperature heats up.
