We have a totally blue sky overhead. I guess that won't last long then.” 6:52:03 AM 11/20/02 “It's really thick. I'm looking out the window right now and can just about see half way up the block. There's still a few inches of snow in the mountains and little in the city here and that might have something to do with it.” 6:58:51 AM 11/20/02 Lunch Break!! “I was in Jacksonville, FL at the zoo yesterday.. Thanks for the 'welcoming' the other morning, LyndyS & nowslimmer. Yes, I'm healing, although not back to 'pre-hiking normal'. Still feel a bit of fluid in left ankle after walking a lot (yesterday!), & my knee still hurts in the same spot sometimes. I'm sure it'll be fine by my next hiking trip (w/family) T'giving wkend..lol! Have great afternoons, everyone.” 11:26:25 AM 11/20/02 “Are you a Floridian, Hinds Feet? Should I add you to the "TT'ers by State" list?” 12:15:56 PM 11/20/02 What am I doing up? “It is still dark out there! And I work is not until 11. I better be quiet. Some of these TT people get real ugly, when awaken this early.” 3:51:25 AM 11/21/02 Buddur Marley “Get up, stand up. Stand up for your rights!” 4:14:24 AM 11/21/02 “I'm up! Dry heat, need to get some water. Let's be really noisy and laugh a lot so those ugly ones get even more angry.” 5:06:29 AM 11/21/02 “now you did it.” 5:09:24 AM 11/21/02 “of course we are ugly since you people wont let us get our beauty sleep in...Guess we will just have to beat yall with an ugly stick to make up for it!” 5:12:51 AM 11/21/02 GOODMORNING! “There is nothing like that first cup of coffee! LindyS, That's Christmas dinner I'm doing. Good thing, too. I have company this weekend and I'll have company again the weekend after Thanksgiving. I just have to bring home-made mac and cheese and a salad to Thanksgiving dinner. Once Christmas has passed, I'll be free to enjoy the winter. Yippee!!” 5:34:07 AM 11/21/02 “Please save us from the "Morning People" LOL Coffee is cooking... just not fast enough!” 6:03:02 AM 11/21/02 “Hi Yall! I'm off to breakfast with the Thursday morning bunch! Breakfast for 2.10 can't beat it! I love Thursdays!!!” 6:14:33 AM 11/21/02 “Well, more rain today and tommorow, but at least the drought is over. The creeks and springs are gushing everywhere.” 6:50:40 AM 11/21/02 Good Morning! “Yes, LyndyS, I'm a Floridian! This is the best time of yr to be one, too! My coffee is brewing...we were out late at friends..drinking coffee (!!) last night, so I didn't sleep well. Coffee is a good MORNING drink..don't forget it! :)” 7:10:21 AM 11/21/02 “LOL, Hinds Feet, I have found that if I drink coffee at night, I can still go to sleep no problem, but then I'm wide awake at 2 or 3 AM. Doesn't make sense medically, but then I'm pretty nonsensical about a lot of things. How much longer before the snowbirds invade Florida? A month, two at the most?” 7:48:32 AM 11/21/02 “I'm guessing the snowbirds are already there, LyndyS. My parents were there for a month, and just came back for the holidays last weekend. They head back the day after Christmas. They said the first couple weeks of October were slow, but more and more snowbirds filtered in later in the month.” 7:53:44 AM 11/21/02 “ok ok ....i'm up” 7:55:26 AM 11/21/02 “morning, bbinkley!” 7:57:48 AM 11/21/02 “good morning...feeling under the weather this morning... a bunch of people in my office were freakin sick yesterday and they came to work...not feeling to hot.” 7:59:32 AM 11/21/02 “Lots of colds going around. Some schools in my area are reporting very high absentee rates recently. My older daughter came home early yesterday with a fever. She seems fine today so off to school she went.” 8:02:11 AM 11/21/02 “if you were out on the road like a outside sales person should be instead of being on TT yesterday then you wouldn't be feeling bad today. now get up and get going :-) BTW hope you start to feel better, esp. if you are going bping this weekend” 8:05:22 AM 11/21/02 “*note to self: don't get on Ewker's bad side!* J/K, Ewker!” 8:06:25 AM 11/21/02 “Smiley, I know your joking but I just had to tell bblinkley that esp. after the way he said he spent to much time on here and the gear web sites...lol” 8:13:11 AM 11/21/02 “I got alot of stuff completed yesterday..Going to work from the house all day today” 8:15:43 AM 11/21/02 “Yeah, he's a bad influence on everyone here with all his gear purchases, and telling us about all the sales he finds!” 8:17:13 AM 11/21/02 “I'm just trying to help everyone else get their gear at a deal..I can't help it if i shop for the deals..You can buy more gear that way. Should try it sometime. Just ask Geobeet and stovestomper” 8:22:24 AM 11/21/02 Snowbirds invade FL “when it gets too cold up N! Esp. Nov-March. Exactly when the hiking is best on the FT. In fact, I found out that many of the AT hikers hike April-Oct there & Nov-March here! Oh, to have the time & resources to live to hike & hike to live. Unfortunately, I enjoy the comforts of life that making money brings, too....sigh.” 8:43:31 AM 11/21/02 “If I get any more gear, I'll have to use a golf cart on the trail.” 8:43:39 AM 11/21/02 “Hi Y'all--nice morning here in Flagstaff. Second cup and it tastes good--kinda stiff this am. Supposed to be warm today and tomorrow--might get down to Sedona for a walk.” 8:53:03 AM 11/21/02 bbinkley “I love deals on EVERYTHING I buy..where are the best places for great-name gear @ great prices?? We've bought lots of NEW stuff off E-bay.com.” 8:59:25 AM 11/21/02 “just visited the REI sale thread. We've also bought stuff from there, & get a STP catalog from time to time, as well as LLBean & Campmor. Is there any other great-deal-on-gear place I'm missing? Bitpusher, I remember that you knew lots about good gear, too....” 9:15:18 AM 11/21/02 “ahhh... Thursday. I like Thursday 'cause its almost Friday. Get to pack up this weekend for Wolf Creek, come back for a week, get the next week of to go to AK and play.” 9:27:09 AM 11/21/02 “Hinds Feet, I'm a novice in comparison to some of these people. I pretty much stick to REI, Campmor, and STP, but I've always got my eye open for something that looks good at places where you wouldn't normall think of buying gear, like TJ Maxx, or Old Navy. I have a pair of convertible pants from TJ, as well as my winter gloves. My fleece sweatshirt and cap I got at Old Navy.” 9:38:28 AM 11/21/02 “I got a really nice down jacket that smooshes down to a small ball, and it was on sale for $35 at Sports Authority of all places, just after Xmas last year. I got a pair of Patagonia Capilene midweight long johns at Ramseys Outdoors near me for $20 down from $38 because they were a little dirty (must have fallen on the floor). So deals are just everywhere, if you aren't in a hurry.” 9:48:25 AM 11/21/02 Hinds Feet “Check out the "anyone know any good gear websites thread"” 9:50:09 AM 11/21/02 “Hinds Feet, do you have "Sockeye's" in your area? They are usually full price, but would be ok when they have sales. One of the few places I have seen in N. FL with much clothing/gear for hiking or backpacking. Of course, that was the Santa Rosa Island area, not a major metro area.” 9:54:07 AM 11/21/02 Tango Golf India Foxtrot! “Up an' at 'em, Slackers! Sunrise in 77 minutes, here... better get crackin'.” 4:51:06 AM 11/22/02 “gee tilt you sure sleep late. Guess its time to put the coffee on.” 5:02:15 AM 11/22/02 “Blech! Yucky weather outside, rain and fog. Time to make the coffee.” 5:46:41 AM 11/22/02 TGIF “Morning All...is yucky here too lyndy..I see snow flurries Wish it would quit messing around and just do it! Have a good day everyone!!!” 6:08:18 AM 11/22/02 “Wow, you have flurries? Looks too warm out for that here. Are you in the mountains?” 6:11:25 AM 11/22/02 “I'm in Western NC. They were calling for 1-3 inches in higher elevations. You have to understand though you say snow here everyone one goes NUTS...like major life occurance. I just love the stuff.” 6:14:37 AM 11/22/02 “that's really messed up. in nc you get snow and do we get here? nada, zip, nix, nothing!! I want snow. Well, lets hope it will snow this weekend while I am up somewhere in nc” 6:16:31 AM 11/22/02 “Lousy day here too with fog and showers. It's not too cold out though, 40's. They said next week is supposed to get cold. Just in time for hiking the AFT on the weekend.” 6:24:42 AM 11/22/02 “top of the morn all, Nice and cold here and windy. Headed for the Mts today as soon as I stop by REI sale. Happy Trails” 6:48:17 AM 11/22/02 “Mornin' all. Supposed to get a touch of snow here tonight. I'm heading down to Florida tomorrow for a week though. Supposed to be nice down there, but I know I'll be missing the cold!” 6:54:06 AM 11/22/02 “Sunny and mid 60's here today. I'm on a 30 minute leash to work this weekend, so may get in some walking in the foothills but no more.” 6:57:39 AM 11/22/02 “(Groping his way around) Ya, allright already, gee! I must be up. Take is easy. OK, goog, ah, good morning. (Thinking: I can do that sinkfull of dishes with the coffee pot later.) Now, where's that instant coffee? Oh boy, I must be getting old. Ya, good morning, already. Excuse me. (Hits "enter" and wanders somewhere.)” 7:29:45 AM 11/22/02 “Hey, some days we jump out of bed, and some days we crawl.” 7:38:59 AM 11/22/02 “They were calling for wintry mix here (N. AL) but it's sunny, cold, and windy here today...” 8:42:07 AM 11/22/02 Jump to Page << prev
