My, you look good today. Just laying around waiting for the doctor to call me with the results of yesterday's scan of my interior. Hope the kidney infection has cleared up. Have a wonderful day.” 7:15:55 AM 8/22/06 “YES, let's hear it for clear kidneys! It's 76, they say rain...I say bullsh-t. If I wanted to live in the desert I would move to a desert state........other than my gripe, I'm fine. My little finger/ring finger on left are still a bit numb but improving....damn ulna nerve....THE NERVE!” 7:34:02 AM 8/22/06 “It was 46 this morning at 6:00 when I arose. The weather is finally getting decent. My mother is visiting for the 2nd time. Everything is great...of course we're only hours into it.” 7:42:13 AM 8/22/06 “Anyone else notice how slowly this thread loads? It was in the low 70s in my yard, until the sun crested the now treeless lot of my neighbors to the east and suddenly it was roasting out there. Dang clearcutters. I was up at 6:30, but just got around to breakfast. I made french toast and Laurel actually ate the whole thing. That's amazing given she generally won't eat breakfast. I still have some puttying and sanding to finish up around our stairwell, then I can get going on the final paint job.” 8:48:32 AM 8/22/06 “ “Anyone else notice how slowly this thread loads?"Yes, I have noticed. In fact I've been thinking of quiting of TT, blaming the slowness on Matt. However, this morning everything was slow, so I did a clean-out and a defrag. It helped a little, but not a real lot. TT Threads that are long, including the list of threads, all seem to be real slow. Examples include what music are you TTing with?, etc. Then, every so often, things will load real good. So it is either our remoteness in Florida or Matt's system. Yesterday, because of the slowness, I thought TT was going to go down again.” 9:56:21 AM 8/22/06 “It has been rather slow lately. We've been spoiled.” 10:18:10 AM 8/22/06 “slow is hardly the word...I can go make coffee in the time it takes a thread to come up... Woke up this morning to thunder, lightening, wind and rain...I guess I'll finally get to see if my tent leaks! Have a great day one and all...” 4:52:44 AM 8/23/06 “Awake at 5:00AM here in Canyon de Chelly Thunderbird Lodge. If you haven't seen the canyon, it's worth the trip (IMO). Get here soon, this is a place looking at big changes coming.” 6:59:26 AM 8/23/06 Hugs. “Good morning. The scan showed my kidney is better, but still not healed completely. Next scan will be in about 30 days. Have a great day.” 7:09:34 AM 8/23/06 “C'mon, vitamin I and caffeine, finish kicking in! Laurel was wound up and running around until after 11 last night, and some time after 2 a transformer/fuse blew up near here. After that I had 3 nervous cats and Laurel in bed with me, so not much sleep after that point. The soy latte doesn't seem to be doing much for me at this point, and I'm out of red bull. >:P” 8:15:23 AM 8/23/06 “Day 2 of mother visit #2 is going well. Yesterday we did a little shopping, potted some plants, watered the flower garden, did some weeding, drank a beer and grilled some ribs. Today we've eaten breakfast out, bought some beer and cookies (lunch?) and shopped for post cards. We're going to visit one of her friends this afternoon and heading out somewhere for dinner. Who knows what adventures lie ahead? Treebait - I don't think you're ever out of bull.>P” 9:17:59 AM 8/23/06 “Come on get up! It's nine degrees C and raining.” 4:17:49 PM 8/23/06 “We had severe thunderstorms last night, including hail. G's motorcycle is currently being stored outside, as is my car. My car didn't look damaged at all. I'm on Day 2 of my new job. Things are going very well, the people here are great! Hope the students don't ruin it for me. :)” 6:32:55 AM 8/24/06 “We had major thunderstorms pass nearby but nary a drop of rain here. However a neat waterspout passed within a few miles of us. You don't see those too often on the intracoastal waterway. Where's my coffee? What? I still have to make it? Dangit...” 7:08:58 AM 8/24/06 “What's a water spout? I caulked all the crown molding and windows in our living room yesterday. My hand is aching from the caulk gun. Today I start painting the ceiling. Woo-hoo! Trim will be tomorrow. I love home imporvement stuff (when I can do it on my own terms). last edited: 8/24/06 7:18:20 AM” 7:14:27 AM 8/24/06 “a tornado that forms over water.” 7:22:03 AM 8/24/06 “thanks you.” 7:24:07 AM 8/24/06 “I hear ya on the home improvements, Sass! I have to finish (for the most part) the stairwell trim, kickboards, and all the crud today.” 7:47:22 AM 8/24/06 “Here, Sassafras, I'll loan you my Dictionary.com, which I find very useful. They have a new, neat format, which was implemented yesterday.(This is why I mentioned it.)” 7:57:24 AM 8/24/06 “Oh my aching neck! Nothing like staring up all day long. Now I get to go and give someone a massage in an hour. A client with neck problems, lol.” 4:03:26 PM 8/24/06 “Good Morning hugs.... ...ok...ok...so it isn't morning......but hello anyways!!!!! ...hot and stormy......good time for a nap!!!” 5:30:45 PM 8/24/06 Hugs. “A cheery good morning to you. The temperature in Melbourne, Florida, is only going to rise to 89 today. 70% chance of thunderstorms, as usual. Have yourself a great weekend.” 2:15:54 AM 8/25/06 “I'm up dangit I'm up but I'd much rather be asleep. I'll have to settle for the measly broken 3-4 hours I got last night. I hate this neighborhood. My brother in law next door just finished a marathon programming session. I don't think he's slept more than 8 hours in the last 4 days. Looks like he pulled another all-nighter, too. Close to a breakdown, that one.” 5:30:56 AM 8/25/06 “Yuck. I hope your new neighborhood is better for a solid 7-8 hours. I should be wrapping up the renovations today, tomorrow at the latest. Just the trim painting left to do (my favorite part). We finally got some good rain last night and yesterday. I wouldn't mind some more; it'll make me feel like I'm not missing anything outside. =) Have a great day all.” 6:58:16 AM 8/25/06 “Got up late today at 6 AM. Walked the dog, checked e-mails and went to play tennis at 7:30. It rained for about 1/2 hour and tennis for the 7:30 slot was cancelled. Oh well, busy day at work today, anyway. Back to the grind.” 7:57:27 AM 8/25/06 “just got back from my morning bike ride....after coffee of course. Been cooler here after our big storm a couple days ago. Highs in low 90's. Now for a Blue Norther, or "Yankee Farts" as my wife calls em....” 8:38:33 AM 8/25/06 “Hey...low humidity here in North Alabama. It's still hot, but you can't have everything. Today should be relaxing...I have a few meetings today and the rest of the time I'll hide in my office and work on my website. heh...” 8:51:38 AM 8/25/06 “Boy I didn't want to get up today. It seems that by Thursday I'm shot..by Friday I'm almost immobile! [b]Hi MDSHiker...sure have missed hearing from you!” 10:54:50 AM 8/25/06 “Good morning, group...still cool and damp out there...Baltimore oriole's chatter outside my window made me think the hummer feeder might need refilling...he drinks regularily from it.. Hugs all round...doing anything cool this week-end?” 6:29:41 AM 8/26/06 Hugs. “Good morning. Let's hit it together. Ready. One....two....three....SMILE. Good , I hope someone took a picture of that. Going to 89 again today with thunderstorms (70%). We had some nice rain yesterday afternoon. Have a great day.” 6:43:32 AM 8/26/06 “#&%!$ morning.....where's my coffee?” 6:52:28 AM 8/26/06 “You kidding it's time for bed, I gotta a gutful of red wine and French Brie, now I'm looking for somewhere to fall over and snore my head off.” 6:54:03 AM 8/26/06 “Good morning. Returned my mother to her home yesterday, unharmed and still ornery. I intend to spend another week (?) on the Superior Trail starting this evening. I've had sciatica (or a hip thing) for about 6 weeks now, so it's a little tentative. I seem to be of the mentality that you can "walk off" all injuries, but rest is so boring. Only a couple of weeks til Isle Royal, and then another week til my son visits. Still thinking about doing another AT thru hike in '07, but much remains to be resolved. I browsed my thru hikers guide the other night and it brought back a lot of warm (and cold/rainy) memories. I'm not ready to sit on my memories yet, so there's lots of stuff to be doing.” 7:11:21 AM 8/26/06 “Good Morning hugs!!!! ...a warm steamy morning in south Alabama... Nimble...ya ever think of doing a North to South Thru Hike?????” 7:26:45 AM 8/26/06 “nimble, go out west and do the PCT!!!! :)I promise, you wont be disappointed. Thats my favorite trail all time.” 7:32:24 AM 8/26/06 “Nimblefoot - "A wise man climbs Mt. Fuji. A fool climbs it twice!"” 7:57:14 AM 8/26/06 “Nimblefoot...sciatica is often an easy fix...it's cause by the tightening of the sciatica nerve, if I remember correctly...lie on your back, on the floor....Pull one of your knees to your chest or as close to it as you can get (LOL)...hold for about 30 seconds...repeat on other side...repeat 3 times...you should be able to feel your sciatica nerve stretching out... This exercise brought to you by a real, physical therapist I went to 10 years ago to teach me exercises I could do to avoid chiropractors...I've not had to go back to one since...” 8:21:58 AM 8/26/06 “hey all, Got back from Glacier Peaks last night. WOW! Coffee was easier to make this morning. Yesterday it was with pancakes thick with huckleberries and huckleberry topping, in a fir and spruce forest,looking at Red Mountain and Seven Finger Jack and a doe and spike buck running by camp, listening to waterfalls.” 8:24:00 AM 8/26/06 “sigh...Pathman, it must be hard to leave that...I've cried more than once driving out of the Bighorns and returning to WI...once, if Bill hadn't been at the end of the road, I would have turned back and winged it...” 8:46:54 AM 8/26/06 “Mata, coming back home to Spokane is not too hard. LOL. I saw a deer on my "lane" last night, coming in. A bald eagle 4 miles from home a couple of weeks ago, quail daily, wild turkeys a few miles away. Owls, coyotes.Elk calving within 10 miles.” 8:54:36 AM 8/26/06 “Sure sounds like the GSMNP.” 9:07:23 AM 8/26/06 “NS, not as humid and colder in the winter, more snow probably.” 9:20:19 AM 8/26/06 “Div - I never thought about north to south, but it is something to think about. It would keep me going counter to the thundering herd of northbounders. NS - I've never climbed Fuji (or Katahdin, for that matter). MH - It just might work, but it cetainly seems like a stretch (ha-ha-ha). That's always been one of my recurring issues: I am a most reluctant and inconsistent stretcher. I'll get back at it. Thanks.” 9:20:45 AM 8/26/06 Hugs. “Good morning. Things are back to normal. The seasons's first hurricane is aiming at Florida. I'm sure glad that the forecasters are only capable of guessing. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.” 6:39:42 AM 8/27/06 “Perfect weather...day in the high 70's-low 80's and dry...nights in the 50's...good morning hugs all around! May Ernesto prove to be endeble...” 7:24:55 AM 8/27/06 “yawn. more coffee.” 9:15:08 AM 8/27/06 “Evening, y'all. Tomorrow I start my first job as a real, live teacher! The kids start tomorrow....nothing like waiting until the last minute to get things put together! I'll be up most of the night, lucky me! I'll let you know how the first day goes. :)” 7:44:47 PM 8/27/06 “Good luck SG! Good morning everyone. Work this morning. I got to do something pretty cool yesterday for dinner. I got to go to Tony Packos!! All you M*A*S*H fans will know what's so special about the place. The food was so-so but it was cool none the less. The fried pickle chunks were out of this world.” 6:03:22 AM 8/28/06 “Have fun SG...good morning, Sass and good morning all...we gotta red sunrise this morning...maybe I will get to check out the seam-sealing I did yesterday on my Henry Shires Double Rainbow tarptent sometime today...” 6:12:54 AM 8/28/06 “Funny thing, we had a red sunrise here too. Might even be the same sun. What are the odds of that? I left the Superior trail before I got there. Sciatica is just a little too bad for me to enjoy carrying a pack and climbing about. Yesterday was spent lying on the floor and doing some stretching, although I did manage to mow the lawn. I don't do too well with this aging stuff.” 6:52:01 AM 8/28/06 Jump to Page << prev
