In a manner of speaking, yes. We will have a pond at the new house. Well, I'm off to Charlotte again on my weekly commute.” 12:36:58 PM 4/30/06 “I used Matt's spell checker! And I heard that you are taking the carp with you along with the rest of the crap.” 1:00:24 PM 4/30/06 “Most of the crap is going to the dump, so to speak. The carp crap is spread all over the yard, to the delight of all the plants. The carp themselves are going to move with us. I found an inflatable pool, medium sized, that's still a greater volume than our current pond and filtration capacity. The large inflatable pool is more than double the volume of our pond. Now it's a question of figuring out which one will fit in the garage of the next house, since that's where the fishies will live for some time. One of our koi club members has had his fish in his garage for nearly a year now since his pond isn't finished.” 4:49:13 PM 4/30/06 “Good morning Hugs from LA....where it finally rained!!!!...and the blackberries are abundant...yummmm..... ...a full weekend with kids and the grandbaby....wooo hooooo.....so much fun!!!!! ....a month of nothing planned for the weekends...woooohooooo...(except the last one which is Memorial Day weekend.....and we are going to Missouri)...so we need to get all the yard work done..... ...I found a salamander in a clay pot the other day...he was reddish.....interesting....” 6:01:14 AM 5/01/06 “Happy May Day all. When I was a kid I used to make little paper cones with handles, fill them full of violets and hang them on all the little old ladys' doorknobs on May day. Abby bit through her tongue yesterday. Quite a sight. Just picture a little brown head coming at you at top speed with mouth open and lots of blood coming out. Funny thing is on Wed she had a whole twenty minutes at school dedicated to this very accident. One of the boys in her class nearly bit his off last week. I bet she'll never jump on a trampoline with her tongue out again. I get to work a food festival today at a really beautiful old inn. I'm excited about getting to check out the inside of this place.” 6:10:09 AM 5/01/06 “Moving day. Rain day. Oh well.” 7:20:00 AM 5/01/06 “Goodmorning! Hi Sass! I hate trampolines. One of my friend's daughter got stitches in her head last week because another child came down on top of Sierra, sinking her teeth into Sierra's head. You should see the size of the antibiotics she has to take twice a day. My kids love trampolines but so many kids get hurt on them.” 7:31:17 AM 5/01/06 “morning all...looking good out today but storms are on the way...woke up to zero vegetable loss in the garden today!!!...maybe the marigolds worked??!!” 7:37:01 AM 5/01/06 “I bit my tongue real good like that riding a Flexible Flyer at the bottom of a stack of three kids......whomp-chomp.....blood on the snow!!! last edited: 5/01/06 8:38:27 AM” 8:37:08 AM 5/01/06 Hugs. “Hello to you, you and you, too, over there. Had a nice weekend visiting with bitpusher at Elkmont, GSMNP. I'm now camped at Abrams Creek CG. treebait - Let me know if you need any help unloading when you arrive up north. Sorry to hear about all those dangling tongues. last edited: 5/01/06 10:20:50 AM” 10:15:07 AM 5/01/06 “Afternoon, everyone! I'm still "up north", we're going to see some homes for sale tonight. I think I have a part-time summer job now, which means I'll be here more or less permanently. Guess I have a lot of cleaning and packing to do this week while I'm at my other home! I found some of my backpacking gear, so be on the lookout for a Gear Sale from me.” 12:51:26 PM 5/01/06 “I'll give you $5 for your esbit stove. ;) Goodmorning all! Not much going on here today. Allergies have me stuffed beyond comfort. Work is fun. I forgot how good it is to get away from the home every once in awhile. 21 days until the Big Test!!” 6:51:08 AM 5/02/06 “Good morning everyone Today's garbage day again, so I've been running around chuffing stuff out to the curb. I didn't bag everything, so I now can see one of my neighbors eyeballing the growing pile. Man we've got some serious packrats around here. HPM's got his nifty new apartment, handicap accessible so the bathroom's cavernous. Now I can start shipping him lots of stuff! No pets, though, alas. That was another $300 deposit if he wanted one of the cats there.” 7:24:20 AM 5/02/06 shish... “Quiet in the TT kitchen this am. Less than a month till my last day of work, get cashed out on my vacation balance by UNM and become unemployed for a month to migrate north to the Inland Empire. Oh yeah, we've got to find a place to live pronto.” 7:24:50 AM 5/02/06 “Moved lots of stuff yesterday. Priorities being what they are, I'm already on line and the cable t.v.'s up. Todays plan is to make a couple of short trips, haul over the food, pots & pans, etc and spend the rest of the day floating down the Namekagon. This is my second move in about 40 days. I'm not moving again for at least 2 years.” 8:28:15 AM 5/02/06 “A float down the Namekagon sounds wonderful right now! I've got two kids home with the flu. I'll be moving soon, also. I hate moving. Three kids and years of accumulation requires a VERY large truck. I'll be driving a 26' U-Haul. Hmmmm... perhaps a future in truck driving? LOL I'm not having much luck finding a place to live but I just started so I'm not worried... yet. :o)” 8:43:10 AM 5/02/06 “Morning greetings to you all. (Yes, I know its the evening, I just wanted you to have a nice greeting for the morning!) I got a few subbing jobs for the next couple of weeks. The rest of this week is in a classroom with Emotionally Impaired kids. Should be interesting! Hope you all have a good day!” 6:43:12 PM 5/02/06 “I hear ya on the big truck thing, Sunshine. I'm trying to pare the quantity of stuff down, but it keeps multiplying faster than bunnies.” 6:45:53 PM 5/02/06 “Good Morning hugs...... beautiful weather in Lower Alabama!!!! ...good luck to those moving...those teaching......and those testing in a few weeks...and those with allergies!!!!!! ,...my parsley and basil is coming up!!!!!!.....woooo hoooooooooo.... ..is it Friday yet???????” 6:14:38 AM 5/03/06 “No river trip yesterday. My floating partner never showed, so I spent the day moving. I've made lots of progress and should be all done, including the cleanup, in a day or so. Looks like another nice day. This place I'm buying is handicap accessible, so moving is easier with the wider doors, etc. I hear the coffee calling; have a great day.” 6:23:38 AM 5/03/06 “Good morning! Kindergarten round up this morning. Time sure goes fast.” 6:30:05 AM 5/03/06 “Good morning all! A float down the Ichnetucknee sounds like just the thing for Laurel and I. Maybe I'll do that this week, or next week. Of course I can't find a swimsuit that fits Laurel. She's a 5 in length, but a 3T in width. I had her try on suits the other night and they just flapped around on her. Huh, the only things that fit her well are the bikinis. Now there's a conundrum.” 7:34:57 AM 5/03/06 “Morning, all you sleepyheads! Today's my second day at the alternative high school. Quite interesting, to say the least. Hope you all have a lovely day!” 5:36:02 AM 5/04/06 “I want to go back to sleep” 5:45:46 AM 5/04/06 “another beautiful day in LA.....but rain this weekend.......oh well....fishing should be good!!!!...my sweetie is working on my Mustang today!!!!...wooo hoooooo!!!!!!!!......he should have it running by the time I get off work!!!!...maybe by this weekend I will be able to cruise with the top down...( in between showers!!!)” 6:14:45 AM 5/04/06 “Me too. Treebait I have the exact same problem. Well, not me (that would be something), but mine. Last year I had to go with a bikini for her. They are no good. The bottoms fill full of sand even faster! Looks like rain today. That means our weekly kayaking trip will be getting the kybosh. Have to lay a floor in someone's kitchen instead. =(” 6:18:05 AM 5/04/06 “Good morning everyone, HAPPY FRIDAY!” 6:04:47 AM 5/05/06 “That's the problem with being retired, the weekends mean nothing. No days off; you're just retired 24/7. War is hell. I'm officially moved for at least 2 years. Now begins the process of finding a home for all my junk. That's the part that irritates my non-domestic self. Oh well, I got 40-50 years to do it.” 6:33:03 AM 5/05/06 “Wooo Hoooo!!!..it's Friday.....Lee cranked my Mustang yesterday for the first time since he rebuilt the engine......wooo hoooooo...it sounded pretty good once the lifters got primed ( what ever that means...lol..hahahahahah)...she is sooo perdy!!!....1995 white convertible with a tan top..... ...anyway..one more day of work....wooo hooo.....going to hook up with Chili and Cottonsocks this weekend...wooo hoooo....ALWAYS a GREAT time with them....I will TRY to behave......( innocent look) I hope everyone has a GREAT weekkkkend!!!!!!” 6:34:41 AM 5/05/06 Hugs “divinity - Good luck. I had trouble hooking up with Chili at Hooters. He was a no-show. I hope he had to return to work. It might have helped had I told him which Hooters. last edited: 5/05/06 12:13:48 PM” 12:11:14 PM 5/05/06 “Howdy Paul. I'm finally getting my coffee for the day. I've been moving as slow as a slug all morning, time to speed things up. I made the coffee a little strong though. If I made it any stronger, it would create it's own gastric bypass.” 12:30:47 PM 5/05/06 “Hi, treebait. Sorry I missed you folks on your last visit here(Deep Creek).” 12:33:38 PM 5/05/06 “Woooo Hooooooooo.... ..not only did my sweetie get my Mustang running....BUT I got to DRIVE it yesterday.....(with the top down of course!!!!) ....I hope everyone has a safe and GREAT weekend.... ...hey NS...hugs......” 8:15:43 AM 5/06/06 “morning, time for a shower and out for a bird hike” 6:13:59 AM 5/07/06 “Good Morning everyone. Went to a rec. area this weekend to help set up a bike race course. Met some cool folks there and lots of bikers. Got some great pics (will post when i get em back). Made lots of contacts to help with the plans for lots of trail in East Texas to be built for hike/bike. Well, coffee's done brewin so see yall l8rz.........” 6:19:09 AM 5/07/06 “Morning all.... Almost 6:00am here...been up an hour. Heading to Lassen to scout a campsite for next weekends full moon trip and to get some backcountry skiing in. Have a great Sunday!” 7:17:57 AM 5/07/06 “Great weather, great day. Just got back from a nice long walk. Fishing season opened yesterday. I'll probably not fish til next week, once the Illinois and Minnesota people return to their lairs. I'm down to 2 boats, so I've got to keep my eyes open.” 9:02:31 AM 5/07/06 “back from birding. Rufous sided towhee, ovenbird,bluebird,nuthatch(red breasted) eastern kingbird, green wing teal, barn and tree swallow, bobolink” 9:21:09 AM 5/07/06 “bobolink! lol, what a cruel name for a bird! Whats up everybody?” 10:19:32 AM 5/07/06 “Oh boy am I ever up too early. My mom-in-law brought us home some guatamalan coffee that was picked and roasted days ago. It's the weakest brew ever. I was so excited about it. Chair massage for teacher appreciation day today. I get paid for it this time. =D Eight hours of work, should be a very profitable day. You guys have a great Monday and be nice to each other!” 4:53:25 AM 5/08/06 “Slept in until 6:30 this morning. Walked the dog in a chilly 32 degrees. At least the black flies weren't out this morning. They started coming out a couple of weeks ago and now swarm when it's above 55 degrees. Those little buggers hurt when they bite! You can count on them from Mothers Day through Father Day. Time to jump in the shower and then do some work.” 5:18:13 AM 5/08/06 “You know, I have learned to deal with about every insect life form including ants, ticks, roaches, spiders, mosquitoes, millipedes, and lawyers (sorry prosecutor). I still think black flies are gross. I don’t mind the bug bites and goodness knows I have never bailed on a hike even because of the worst insect conditions, but black flies… something about them just makes my skin crawl. Oh well... tis the season and all.” 6:12:09 AM 5/08/06 “I'm up. Finally got to sleep in just a bit. My day is filled with doing wedding things. I turned down two jobs today so I could get this stuff done! Hope you all have a great day!” 7:53:36 AM 5/08/06 “I'm up, just haven't posted yet. I'm supposed to be building up and shaping the bed of the waterfall today, but NOOOOOOO, I have to go swimming and pull some --- ----- awful thing or who knows what out of the bottom drain that's clogging the drain line. Argh! At least the water's not cold, it's about 76 degrees right now. I just wish I had a diving mask.” 8:29:50 AM 5/08/06 Hugs. “Good morning all you wonderful people. Coffee at McDonald's in Bryson City, NC, stinks. I finally decided not to even order any more of it this morning. I paid more at a gas station, but it was much better coffee. Have a great day.” 8:45:33 AM 5/08/06 “NS - my mom hates the coffee at all McDonalds. She made me stop at Burger King yesterday to get her some coffee.” 9:10:18 AM 5/08/06 “Was it the regular McDeath coffee or the new gourmet coffee many locations now serve? There's a Booger Ding in Gatlinburg (gasp!) that actually has good coffee, even by my standards. Of course I got there so early some of the employees weren't even in yet, so it was fresh. I've had too much coffee myself this morning, too. Jitter jitter.” 10:03:05 AM 5/08/06 “Where is everyone this morning? I've already dropped my car off at the dealer, walked from there to the post office, and then home. GET UP EVERYONE!” 7:12:17 AM 5/09/06 “Good morning ! not sure if I'm really awake or not.. I think I need more coffee..” 7:20:48 AM 5/09/06 “just another day. same as yesterday. same as tomorrow.” 7:26:38 AM 5/09/06 Jump to Page << prev
