Wooohoo! I don't have to work today. Now, I need to make a decision. Do I clean house or shovel the snow off the garage? It's partly sunny outside so I think I'll shovel off the garage. But first, I think I'll treat myself to an hour of reading. :)

Have a great day, everyone!

Good morning. Spring is almost here, just two more weeks until Cataloochee and three other campgrounds will open in GSMNP.

Melbourne, Florida, 68°F. --> 79°F. A slight chance of showers, then scattered showers and thunderstorms after 1 pm. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Tonight: Scattered showers and thunderstorms. It could be wet at our beach dinner and party this evening. There will be "Island dishes," live music and a beach bonfire. About 75 people expected, mostly from a National Martial Arts Training Clinic we are hosting this weekend. Two of my daughters and a granddaughter will be with me.

world's only laser-powered, computer-controlled fishing lure.

Chappy - Welcome back. Glad you had a good trip.

Have a great weekend, everyone. It's a good time to make sure your gear is ready for the season.

The rain is finally clearing out here. The front they said would be gone by saturday afternoon decided to not hit us until last night, so yesterday was a loss masonry wise, because I was always afriad it would start raining. Not today.

I got a lot of work done yesterday, with TT down.

Chapppy - Writing trip reports is easy and does not require a lot of time. Perhaps this example will help you: my trip report Don't be disappointed if it does not get the reaponse it deserves: No one reads my trip reports!

For another example, this one did me proud: NS:: My trip report - details 11/12/04 - 11/15/04

I got up this morning at 5:30 AM to let the dog out. It was -5 degrees and the 8" of snow from yesterday was beautiful. It was snowing at a rate of a couple of inches an hour for awhile. After finishing instructing a handicapped student in a bi-ski at Mount Sunapee, I took off for a couple of powder runs. It seemed like the heavy snow scared all those that came up from Boston and most left early. The conditions were fantastic in 8 inches of powder along the sides of the trails where most don't ski.

This morning, I waited until it warmed up to about 8 degrees and went out to clear the driveway and elevated deck. Sunlight, snow on the trees and the roar of the snow thrower...ahhh. I came in and stoked the woodstove. Now it's time for a shower and some french toast with the morning paper.

Happy Monday! Where is everyone? Sleeping in? I'm taking two kids to the doctor today; nothing serious. I think I'll take them out for a special lunch afterwords. I need to pick up some Bailey's Irish Cream to try out a new cheese cake recipe. Mmmmmm!

I'm up. About to head out the door. Busy day ahead.

How well do fritta's keep and re-warm? I need to eat a good breakfast, but cooking something in the morning ain't gonna happen. Wonder if I can make it ahead and warm up a piece each day of the week.

Go get 'em, everyone!

Hi Sunshine..sorrow to hear the kids are sick...I heard somewhere about a Bailey's cheese cake being made that wouldn't make it to Madison...sounds incredibly yummy..

smiley girl...I would think frittas would re-heat up nicely if you only nukes them a few seconds, flipped them, then reheated them on the other side..overcooking is what would turn them to rubber...

While burning garbage yesterday I reached down to pick up an empty cardboard box on the porch and something went "boing" in my left hip/lower back...main suspect is the sciatic (sp) nerve..last night's epson bath, Celebrex dinner, ice pack then heating patch hasn't helped a whole bunch..if this ruins my trip to Pix Rox I'm gonna be bummed...leaving tomorrow if I have to crawl out to the car...gr-r-r-r-r.................
