This week I'm runnin a special.....act now and get a second one for half price........lol.” 6:43:13 PM 7/30/06 “morning all....I smell coffee, now for taste.....been hot here as usual, waiting for rain. It's hangin off the coast and comes to houston but won't come up to us.” 7:22:12 AM 7/31/06 “Morning everyone! It's hotter than heck here. We're not supposed to have weather like this. Ysterday afternoon we had a lovely storm that dropped the temps down to the seventies for four hopurs or so, just enough time to open the house for some air, mow the lawns, and eat dinner outside. Hope you all are well. I'm all out of the loop now. What's exciting around here lately?” 7:25:21 AM 7/31/06 “hello, sassy, same old stuff.....bikes/hikes/politics/wars/floods/droughts.....normal stuff........” 7:53:07 AM 7/31/06 “It's supposed to be hot here as well, but tomorrow brings cooler temperature for a little while. Two inches of rain yesterday and a welcome relief. Everyone in town was ecstatic. Never seen so many women happy to get two inches (groan).” 7:53:08 AM 7/31/06 “wife and i are going down to the old homestead for a few days. I'm going to take the bike and bust up the fields and woods, scatter the squirrels, and chase the rabbits....plan to get a couple more bag nights in too......” 7:55:51 AM 7/31/06 “the heat has passed us by. 47 now, high of 77 today. :D smokey robinson is on fox and friends doing some jazzy stuff with a great backup jazz group. coffee is hot, sun is up....” 7:57:00 AM 7/31/06 Hugs. “Good morning. treebait - Hope you're feeling better. chappy - It sure sounds like you/re going bananas. Nimblefoot - Hmmm. Guess they couldn't get more than that in northern Wisconsin. Sassafras - "out of the loop now" must mean "no work." Your visit here is the most exciting thing around here today, so far.” 8:13:58 AM 7/31/06 “NS - only if they stay within their marital constraints.” 9:03:55 AM 7/31/06 “Well, Nimblefoot, I've been to Kansas and then up north outside for a week. It was peaceful, except for the five year old needing help with sand castles and some aunts squabbling like TTs finest bickerers. I did manage to get five hours of work in up there; just enough to pay for all my souvenirs.” 10:29:31 AM 7/31/06 “Hello ladies and gents..........a fine day here...sunny, warm........ Need to buy a air pump for my bike today so I don't get stranded (again)....so now i need a backpack just to haul all the stuff i want with me on a bike ride.....saddlebags??” 7:40:27 AM 8/01/06 Hugs. “chappy - Hook a wagon behind the bike. Not only can you carry some tools, a pump, some water, groceries, etc., but you can you can load some of those wild women in it, when the Lufkin Days' Celebrations close for the night. Everyone have a great day.” 8:13:20 AM 8/01/06 “Hey nowslimmer, great idea, I actually been thinkin of some sort of saddlebag hookup, but the wagon has more promise....I got some old frames I could cut/weld to make a follow along. The only wild woman is already got.” 7:48:13 AM 8/02/06 Good Morning! “Chappy, Mother Earth News has a good idea in this months issue....some guy made paniers out of office size trash cans. Very cheap, durable and holds all his groceries. If you don't need them that big use bathroom trash cans. =D I think you need a rack on the back for his idea.” 7:51:59 AM 8/02/06 “Thanks, sass, I got one of those racks that attaches to the seat post and hangs out over the rear tire. The bike frame has screw holes for attaching a rack also, now all I need is to find one...perhaps at the same junk yard I got the bike at.” 7:55:05 AM 8/02/06 “I just got a visual of Chappy pedaling around, towing a 50 gal galvanized trash can spilling over various & sundry oddities, looking for the world like Fred Sanford.” 7:56:49 AM 8/02/06 “Would the wagon wheels go on the galvanized trash can or would sparks be shooting out from under it?” 7:59:10 AM 8/02/06 “Funny you mentioned that, I saw a black guy yesterday in a black dodge p/u with all this trash in the back and plywood sides on the bed. Told my wife, "don't know if the truck or the trash needs carried to the dump". The truck was so smashed up and dented with paint scrapped off and all....a perfect trash truck. I said to her "Sanford and Son". LOL.” 8:01:15 AM 8/02/06 “chappy - ACE Hardware has a beauty, a heavy duty wagon for $70-80. It is metal and has folding sides. One can't but look at it without trying to think of some applications to justify the purchase. On two occassions I've seen guys using them to move equipment(tarps, firewood, etc.) from their RV's. I'm sure Fred would have loved to have one. last edited: 8/02/06 8:28:30 AM” 8:24:51 AM 8/02/06 “Nowslimmer, I'm too cheap to spend that kind of money without first trying to build one myself. I've made several carts already for different and sundry purposes.....” 8:37:46 AM 8/02/06 “Girls go for men with attractive equipment. Could not find the wagon in the Ace Products site.” 8:43:25 AM 8/02/06 “Good morning. Off to the dentist again today, but not without coffee. No special plans for later other than sitting around drooling on myself. Okay, have at it.” 6:18:29 AM 8/03/06 “Good Morning hugs!!!! ...all is well here in Lower Alabama!!!!......keeping an watchful eye on Chris.....and going over my supply list!!!...( I do love lists!!) ...I hope everyone is well!!! hugs...” 6:20:26 AM 8/03/06 “wow...temps in the 50's! Great sleeping weather...in fact, I forgot to put my alarm on and overslept for the first time in ages...oh well, there goes one more hour of vacation! Have a great day!” 6:21:59 AM 8/03/06 “50?! How lovely! It's 83 right now at 7:30am...supposed to get hot again today..heat index bumping it up to 100's. Ugh.” 6:36:06 AM 8/03/06 “Dang Twinkles, about the same in Baltimore............stinkin' hot.” 7:11:57 AM 8/03/06 “Good Morning hugs...... still hot here in LA...but from watching the national news some of y'all are even hotter!!!! IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!...I DO love the weekends!!!...I was offered a job, but only get one weekend off a month...sheesh.....I slept on it and decided NO WAY!!!!.... Y'all have a GREAT weekend!!!” 6:49:12 AM 8/04/06 “Good choice Divinity! Losing your weekend is the worst. 69° here. The temps will go up but our humidity is gone. =) You all have a fantastic weekend!” 7:31:08 AM 8/04/06 “97 for a high here. Thank goodness for the AC. I'll be in the office all day today dilligently working and sipping a cool beverage every now and again.” 7:36:19 AM 8/04/06 “Mow the lawn? Ride my bike? Mow the lawn, ride my bike or golf? Take a nap? Ride my bike, then mow the lawn and golf. That's it.” 8:56:20 AM 8/04/06 “Morning... I'm off to Lake Tahoe to get lost for the weekend. I get to be a victim for the CARDA dogs. They are calling for lows in the 40's. Thunder showers too!! Yahoo!!! Stay safe everyone.” 9:01:08 AM 8/04/06 “another day in paradise. The weekend is in sight with highs near 90. Nimblefoot. Ride the bike, get rid of the lawn and golf clubs.” 9:57:11 AM 8/04/06 “You're probably right. Golf is no more than a source of continual frustration. I've pretty much gotten rid of the lawn, since it masn't been mowed for a month. Just got back from the ride and it was great.” 11:53:14 AM 8/04/06 Hugs. “Good morning. It's a beautiful day. Cool off and have some hot coffee. Then, for those who can get out, a hike in the woods would be rewarding. Chappy, can you see your coffee cup in my hand. Thanks, again. Ssssafras delivered it full of hot coffee. It was finger-licking good.  .......... .... Hocking Hills SP, Ohio, 3/25/06 ................. Cataloochee, Friday, 3/24/06 Have a great day.” 5:55:06 AM 8/06/06 “Good morning. Enjoy that coffee cup while you can, NS. It's not seen the last of NW Wisconsin. The next time it's in my posession I will post a picture using it as a planter for one of my african violets.” 7:45:13 AM 8/06/06 “Nimblefoot - If you really want the cup, just say so. I'll mail it to you promptly. In fact, how many do you want?” 8:09:09 AM 8/06/06 “Now, don't take the fun out of it for me:) It's all in the scheme, the chase and the execution of the diabolical plot. There's so few outdoor toilets to tip over anymore...” 8:39:51 AM 8/06/06 “OK, then, you've seen the last of that cup. It will never hold your posies. Hit the trail.” 8:57:25 AM 8/06/06 “Good morning all. The desert seem to be returning to a bit more normal, i.e., less than 110 highs forecast for the week. Beautiful morning here today.” 9:03:50 AM 8/06/06 “mornin, finally relocated here in the U.P. with Sunshine and get to start my new job today, I wish I told them another week so I could have took some time off. First new job in 21 years, guess I'm nervous,ugh!” 6:48:35 AM 8/07/06 “Kids and wife are up, it's the beginning of a new school year! I'm about to head to the showers and take my leisurely 10-min drive to work. Life is good.” 6:54:01 AM 8/07/06 “Good morning. Waiting for the plumber to come and do his job. I will then be free from being tied to the house and will be on the Superior Trail Wednesday morning. Today's high is only 79; I can hack it.” 7:03:21 AM 8/07/06 “good morning........golfers..............just got back from "down the country". Had to tend the cows and sell a few in the process. It's so damn dry down there that only one stock tank has water in it and no hay to buy anywhere. For some it's REAL bad. At least we still got hay and water. Can you all send rain toward Austin please? Nimblefoot, wish I was with you on that one......” 7:25:17 AM 8/07/06 spalpeen “Knock 'em dead.” 7:26:55 AM 8/07/06 “Morning. Have to do a bit of job searching, cleaning, and writing thank-you notes. I've only been home 4 nights in the last 3 weeks, and I'm leaving again later this week for more. Can't wait for school to start so we can have a routine (and I never thought I'd say that!). At least I'm healthy again, today was the last day of steroids. Now I'm going to start the valerian root to get me back on a normal sleeping schedule. Have a great day - we're looking at sunshine and 82 degrees in Mid-Michigan. :)” 8:54:26 AM 8/07/06 Hugs. “  Good morning. Hope you enjoyed a good breakfast. Gooey Duck (Geoduck) would definitely be tasty, if you have not had breakfast, yet. It has a sweet flavor and crunchy texture Cashing in on geoducks Once chowder fodder, the giant clam can fetch up to $24 a pop Have a great, gooey day.” 1:08:07 AM 8/12/06 “Good morning from Charlevoix, Michigan..looking forward to returning to the UP later today...thinking I just might be up to a solo backpacking trip even if it's only a one-nighter...then, home to Wisconsin...it's been one helluva week!” 6:34:38 AM 8/12/06 “Good Morning...... Hot and muggy here in north Alabama.” 6:58:14 AM 8/12/06 “Morning. Jeans and sweatshirt weather here. I got woken up by Birch leaning over me ad asking if he lived in a rest home. It was only 8am and it is Saturday! Nice ss he's supposed to be at work today. He decided to go hit some construction dumpsters instead and start on the treehouse he's been dreaming about for the little one. As soon as he told her what he was up to she had jeans and mocasins on and her garden gloves so she could help carry wood. I have to work this morning but only for an hour. Two absolute tantrum throwing monsters are coming over for about 8 hours later, while their folks go to a wedding. Say some prayers for me. I have to keep myself from strangling them, inforcing any "mean time-outs or rules" etc. I will be ready for a vodka tonic or ten by the time they leave and our house will be trashed.” 8:17:15 AM 8/12/06 “LOL! Good luck with that Sass! And good luck to Birch with his dumpster divin'! LOL! A friend and I built a two story tree house when we were kids with glass windows, heat, electricity(200yds, and out of sight from the nearest house), coleman stove, the works. The only thing it didn't have was running water, and that was no big deal because it was only about 30 yds. from a creek that had water year round. I think it may still be standing. Hard saying. We had a blast in it though. Great memories.” 8:30:43 AM 8/12/06 Jump to Page << prev
