Drinking my Alley Cats coffee this morning, real middle class american, pro-union, strong, hard workin', earthy coffee. Tastes pretty good too. Chapster - I never could find a box, so I made one. Should be able to execute the transaction today if I can get to the main road.” 7:52:53 AM 1/20/06 “Little idiot, for drinking datura/ brugmansia tea. That kid's lucky he's alive. From what the story said, it was just another episode of stupidity for him. Looks like it will be a nice sunny day here, albeit a few degrees warmer than the average for this time of year. Again.” 7:54:28 AM 1/20/06 “Wow! That's quite a mood swing in 2 very short paragraphs, lol.” 7:56:24 AM 1/20/06 “Did you read the story Nowslimmer linked to? That's the little idiot I was initially talking about.” 7:57:51 AM 1/20/06 “...get to the main road? Lucky rascal you, all I get stranded in is traffic.....” 7:58:12 AM 1/20/06 “I did, Treebait. Still though you had 2 short sentences about how stupid the kid was (no argument here). Then, in a new paragraph, it's a wonderful sunny day. It just struck me as real funny. Chappy - When on my way to the coffee shop (Alley Cats), I usually see more deer than vehicles. I do have to make sure I'm stocked with food during the winter. Life is rough.” 8:04:40 AM 1/20/06 “ooh Datura! I had a plant growing behind my house in Goa(India) which I loved at night when it flowered....however, I knew it was no good because even the goats wouldn't eat it...one day some fool made some tea with it and for the next 3 days he wandered up and down the empty beach, talking to invisible friends and making tea with an invisible stove and tea fixin's...when it wore off he remembered nada...I don't like drugs where you lose time that drastically so I just continued to enjoy the fragrance of the night-blooming plant...” 10:45:09 AM 1/20/06 “Good morning, all you great people. But why aren't you out hiking? In Melbourne, Florida, it is 68°F. --> 78°F. with a 20 percent chance of showers before 7am. Liza gives it her all. Jacksonville: 59°F.

Folks been doing it up here for years. I was doing a little house cleaning late into the night, with a little more to do this morning. Some real estate agent is bringing another fool to look at it. The idea of moving during the winter is not pleasant. Chappy and Nowslimmer, time to get your lazy butts out of bed.” 5:30:06 AM 1/21/06 “Nimblefoot - Open your eyes and look above. I've been up for 2.5 hours. I thought you only listed your house in order to have someone to look after it, while you were visiting relatives.” 5:52:52 AM 1/21/06 “We're both goofy, but in different ways. I read your post and forgot it 5.3 seconds later. You somehow inferred something I never said. Heck, the real estate folks are 20 miles south of me. No, I listed it because I intend to sell it. Two reasons: I want to move about 10 miles closer to Spooner where I do all my "bidness" and, I want to buy 20 to 80 acres because I'm running out of room to hide the bodies.” 6:01:50 AM 1/21/06 “So, Bill, drunk, wakes me up telling me there's someone parked, with their car off and interior lights on, at the bottom of our driveway...he's sure it's some OTHER drunk so he's off to go wake them up and bring them home to warm up...there was no one there...” 6:05:07 AM 1/21/06 “Nimblefoot - I guess it looks that way, but my only intent was to pull your leg a little. I thought that one up by myself, trying to figure out why you wanted to sell. Good luck with it.” 6:29:18 AM 1/21/06 “Nowslimmer, well okay then, I'll be the only goofy one. Mataharihiker - you definitely live in NW Wisconsin. Sure he wasn't drinking some of that tea? last edited: 1/21/06 6:42:37 AM” 6:39:29 AM 1/21/06 “I don't see anyone being goofy. Especially when there is no temperature reported in your area. "Duluth, MN Let me know if you need help in moving. I'm overdue for a trip. last edited: 1/21/06 7:04:30 AM” 7:01:25 AM 1/21/06 “Well, I was just kidding about me being goofy (and you not). Just came in from the outdoors and it's -2. Nice, cold and crisp. Not quite cold enough for the trees to pop, but back to real winter nonetheless. They can view this place all they want, but I don't expect it to sell for quite some time. Just the way the market is up here if you're not on the water. When it does eventually sell I'll let you know. Until then, it's not a bad place to hang out.” 7:21:59 AM 1/21/06 “I need help with the laundry. Wanna come to detroit Nowslimmer? ;) Today I have to make a birthday cake. In the shape of a unicorn. I have two bowls to bake in and a sugar cone for the horn. Wish me luck.” 7:22:13 AM 1/21/06 “g'luck and happy birthday to the unicorn person.” 7:25:13 AM 1/21/06 “No thanks, Sassafras. There are too many riots, etc. in your area. It seems to me that a while back they were burning buildings down almost every night. Did they ever catch the people that were doing it? Besides, I'm getting ready to go camping with my youngest daughter in Ocala NF. last edited: 1/21/06 7:31:19 AM” 7:28:46 AM 1/21/06 “I don't know, but really we're about two miles outside of the edgiest edge of Detroit and people don't riot or burn down buildings in our community. I guess I'm stuck being the Laundry Fairy forever.” 7:34:38 AM 1/21/06 “21F, PC with high of 47, light breezes today. I have about 4 hours of work left over from the end of the week and the home calendar says "family work day". Might try to sneak out of the house tonight to see UNM play AF in the Pit. I need a new job. All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy. last edited: 1/21/06 8:01:48 AM” 7:59:52 AM 1/21/06 “My God, now it's -4. The sun comes up and we drop 2 degrees. How does that solar thing work again?” 8:09:12 AM 1/21/06 “How does that solar thing work again? In the North, in the Winter? Not very well!” 9:17:24 AM 1/21/06 Nimblefoot and Nowslimmer “Nimble, I was up at 5:00 dude. I was in the middle of nowhere, in my tent, and making my coffee....so there :p This one was a 12 miler, walked in six, walked out six...... Nowslimmer, rack up another bag night for me...that makes 2 now......yeeeeehawwww.” 12:13:32 PM 1/21/06 “I just talked to some locals at the coffee shop about the weather dropping a couple of degrees immediately after the sun comes up. Their response was that's the way it always happens. Anyone ever hear of this or know why?” 12:24:07 PM 1/21/06 “What? Riots? Burning down buildings every night? Whatcha talking about, NS? Every city has some not-so-nice neighborhoods, but I'm unclear what you're talking about. Taking dinner tonight to a friend's house. They just had a baby, and I thought they'd like a "night out" without actually getting out. Making crock-pot lasagna, salad, bread, and brownies for them. I also made a beef/tator tot casserole for me for the week. Sass, I'm doing laundry today right with ya! I don't mind changing it, but at least Gordie folds all the stuff. That's the part I really hate!” 2:57:49 PM 1/21/06 “How 'bout this for a theory...air slightly higher gets the sun first, right? and that higher air is cold, no? Maybe it causes the water molecules in the water to move around and push the coldest air down to the ground where, reaching the very cold ground, it bounces back up and down between the warmer, heavier air and harder planet...I can see it in my mind (muah-ha-ha-ha-ha) but can't describe it very well....” 5:57:05 PM 1/21/06 “I know it gets warmer when the snow starts falling.............” 8:54:06 PM 1/21/06 “Good Morning all. It's 48 degrees here and got lots of rain and thunder last night. Good thing I came out of the woods yesterday, it woulda been interesting for sure. Still more rain in the forecast so I guess we're catching up.” 6:54:01 AM 1/22/06 “clear skys and 30's today,good bye snow.Breakfest with friends (Nueske's bacon yummy) then down to the lakefront to hopefully see the snowey owl that is hanging out there” 8:00:34 AM 1/22/06 “ah........a fellow birder, love to watch em myself..........at my last parsonage, that had woods on three sides, I identified 27 different birds in my back yard and in the woods.......especially the painted bunting and idigo's that would hang with the cardinals.....” 8:05:18 AM 1/22/06 Nimblefoot and Nowslimmer “what's the matter guys, you party too late last night????? wakey, wakey...............” 8:18:07 AM 1/22/06 “yep chappy I am a birding geek, joined a support group” 8:27:58 AM 1/22/06 “a friend of mine and I go and do nature and wildlife photography a couple trips a year, and birds are on the top of our list to photograph. He buys a new bird book about every two years.” 8:33:22 AM 1/22/06 “Good morning! I've been up for quite awhile, but it takes a long time to get through all of Camelfluffers' "backpacking 101" (and not a damn thing about how to fluff a camel). I've got company coming over for dinner today. First time in about a year. New England boiled dinner. The house is already clean because I had a potential buyer in for a look yesterday. All I have to clean today is me and cook the meal. Should be a great day.” 9:39:26 AM 1/22/06 “HPM had to go in for jury duty today. :)” 6:46:30 AM 1/23/06 “Good Morning every warm body. The temp is 47, it is clear, no rain today but had lotsa rain yesterday, all day, and last night more boomers and rain. The Steelers won so all is right around here................I'm up, the birds sorta up, the wife is NOT up, and it's dark in the house, but the coffee is just done brewin so thats the morning report.....back to you, Greta..................” 6:59:05 AM 1/23/06 “Good morning from Paradise, Melbourne, Florida, where it is 72°F. --> 80°F. The last week of January is usually the coldest week of the winter in central Florida. But this year it is shaping up to be one of the best weeks ever on record. Have a wonderful week. last edited: 1/23/06 8:29:01 AM” 8:28:16 AM 1/23/06 “Another 1 above morning, but we're headed for 39 and sunshine. What to do with this day? The driveway is shoveled, house is clean, there's enough leftovers to last a week. I have dessrts and sweetrolls. I could read some of my tech manuals and brush up for my job interview on Wednesday. Really, though, any job I can't b.s. my way into isn't worth having. Looks like another skiing day.” 8:52:58 AM 1/23/06 “up up and away!” 5:39:25 AM 1/24/06 5:45:21 AM 1/24/06 “Good morning from Melbourne, Florida, where it is 65°F. --> 77°F., with a 20% chance of showers after 1pm. Nelson bill to protect cell records "About 40 Web sites reportedly sell phone numbers and call records for about $100. Call records can be used in lawsuits, divorces and corporate inquiries. The new law allows police, but not private investigators, access to the information." Have a great day.” 6:25:02 AM 1/24/06 “How was the skiing Nimblefoot? Today I have 29 ice cream cone cupcakes to make and about sixty high school students in Ann Arbor who want sports massage. It's going to be another blur. Chance of snow today (50%). I hope it comes and stays!! I'm tired of this pretend winter stuff.” 7:07:44 AM 1/24/06 “Good morning all, I never did get skiing yesterday and I can offer no excuse. I did, however, drive to town and mail a package that's been laying around here for entirely too long. The freaky temperature continues. It's still dark and already 36. Melting snow drips from my roof in the dwindling pre-dawn darkness. It is my considered decision to have a good day, leaning heavily on my belief that it's not what happens but how I react to it (not that there's anything wrong with being a little proactive either).” 7:29:15 AM 1/24/06 “Goodmorning! I cleared about 3" of wet, heavy snow from the driveway. It's really coming down now! We should get the rest of the 9" they're calling for. I bought a new bat and ball for snowshoe baseball yesterday. My kids were hoping for a snowday so we could play all day. No such luck. Warm wishes from the great white North!” 7:37:40 AM 1/24/06 “Huh? Directed at Nimblefoot's post. last edited: 1/24/06 7:44:12 AM” 7:41:15 AM 1/24/06 “Snowshoe baseball sounds like fun. A lotta work, but fun.” 7:44:14 AM 1/24/06 “good morning all...today was day number two of being chauffeured by the wife...it seems that somebody (ok, it was me) forgot to pay a speeding ticket and his license was suspended...stupid johnny law” 7:46:13 AM 1/24/06 “Oh my God, we've got crooks posting here. Where o' where is Prosecutor? He will save us.” 7:48:44 AM 1/24/06 Jump to Page << prev
