I've been outside twice now, because the cold keeps me from throwing up. I really don't need this right now. I do know that the koi club meeting is way the hell out in Middleburg, and I'm not going. HPM is going whether he knows it or not, and he's dropping Laurel off at my parents house for a few hours.

Good luck losing it. I can be there in about 2.5 hours anytime you and HPM might need a hand. Maybe quicker with my car engine already running warm. We love hearing from you each day. divinity - Don't be such a stranger. Hope you're not getting sick. 2-3 aspirin and a few hours under heavy blankets should let you sweat out any bugs. Good luck. Double posting - You always get so excited when you are talking with me! spalpeen - Sorry you got sick, also. Hope you feel better soon. last edited: 2/13/06 8:09:38 AM” 8:00:27 AM 2/13/06 “Happy Valentine's Day to all of those of you who get up..22F and snowing...” 5:20:47 AM 2/14/06 “Morning going to hit 40 here today, feel a bit better so off to work than vacation” 5:52:22 AM 2/14/06 “Happy Valentines Hugs!!!!!! another cold day...but going to warm up soon......

Maybe a loaf of that strawberry bread that takes a whole tub of cool whip. HOw is everyone feeling this morning? Spalpeen? Treebait? last edited: 2/14/06 7:22:31 AM” 7:21:34 AM 2/14/06 “Happy Valentines Day, girls..........32 here and crispy. Gonna go get my sweetie a rose and something else. Let's see....it is 5 days till Arkansas and the Ouachita mountains......wow. First night there (we will arrive about 7:00pm) we will stay at the Queen Wilhelmina Lodge. Then Monday morning shuttle to Winding Stair to begin the weeklong trek back to QW Park.......” 7:41:49 AM 2/14/06 “I'm officially jealous (of the trip, not the rose). Can't wait for the trip report.” 7:43:38 AM 2/14/06 “I've been up (more or less) since 2 am, thanks to my neighbor's dogs getting loose and trying to camp out and find some warmth on the scrap of carpet on my front porch. One of them's a 5-6 month old lab puppy and there's no sign of either dog this morning. It was in the 20s here last night, and it felt surprisingly good to be outside in the cold. I guess that's the fever talking.” 8:13:51 AM 2/14/06 “Dead puppies aren't much fun.” 8:23:24 AM 2/14/06 “I'll post pics and report the week after, if I make it out alive...............we have about 15 stream crossings too.....brrrrrrrrrrrr” 8:25:17 AM 2/14/06 “I hate that. Our neighbor used to leave their beagle outside no matter how cold. The dog would huddle under their dryer vent for warmth. Poor Birch would call and ask them to take the dog in. Also gave them a doghouse our dogs didn't want anything to do with. The beagle gets let in alot more now but we have new neighbors w/ a lab mix that stays out all the time.” 8:26:54 AM 2/14/06 “I keep mine in the garage....I installed a puppy door so they can go in/out, and they have wool blankets, foam pads, the whole enchilada.......spoiled rotten I tell ya.....” 8:29:12 AM 2/14/06 “A family in the neighborhood I used to live in left their dog chained up outside and left for Christmas vacation. That year it got bitterly cold, and the dog howled and whined all night, every night. I called the Animal Control people in the town where I lived at the time (Madison, AL) only to have them tell me that they couldn't do anything about a barking dog. I told them that I thought the dog had been abandoned, and then they said they'd do something about it. The dog was gone the next day, so I guess something happened...” 8:31:02 AM 2/14/06 “yeah, a wolf came in the middle of the night and had a frozen dinner..............” 8:32:03 AM 2/14/06 Hugs. “Good morning from Christmas, Florida. Yes, there is a town called Christmas a little ways north of Melbourne. TV reporting 31°F., the airport reports 34°F. --> 60°F., Whatever, it is cold for here, but sunny. Snow accummulation: none, so we won't have all that stuff melting today like in NYC, where the temperature is 33°F. climbing to 41°F. today.

I've been thinking of cheating winter out of 2 months, heading for Springer and hiking north. That's not exactly eliminating winter from my life, but it does move it to a different location and gets me back on the trail. The plan would be to just hike north on the AT until early May, go home and spend the warmer months in and around the upper midwest. Getting back on the trail would be a good thing cuz I've relaimed ALL the lost fat from my thruhike.” 8:37:07 AM 2/14/06 “Do it, fatty! LOL.” 8:42:16 AM 2/14/06 “only made 2 hours at work,man I feel lousey,how the heck am I going to make vacation like this” 9:46:29 AM 2/14/06 “I hear you, Spalpeen. Rest as best you can, and stay hydrated. They do help the most.” 9:47:48 AM 2/14/06 “thanks I am trying” 9:50:50 AM 2/14/06 “good morning...ooh, it's only 9F out and clear..there are some mornings I'm really thankful to have a remote car-starter...” 5:25:46 AM 2/15/06 “It's cold here, too. I don't know the temps but they've been calling for the single digits all week. It's gonna be a cold Veterans' parade on Saturday. We had a whole group of local guys and gals come back from Iraq a few weeks ago. They'll be at the front of the parade with all veterans following. Last I heard they had over 26 floats! This is the biggest parade our little town has had. I just wish it would be warmer for the kids. We'll have to go early and get a good parking spot so we don't have to stand in the cold any longer than necessary. Oh and goodmorning all! It's Valentine's day today for me! :)” 6:00:34 AM 2/15/06 Jump to Page << prev
