Good Christmas Eve service last night. Didn't see any Buddhists that I could tell, plenty of spirtual seekers. ;-D” 9:07:48 AM 12/25/06 “anyone hear an echo??” 9:10:14 AM 12/25/06 Merry Christmas, Stinkfoot !! “"Nimblefoot - Sounds like a wonderful, new neighborhood in which you've settled. You should fit right in there!" Yeah, him and the woodland critters seem to be hittin' it off.” 9:47:52 AM 12/25/06 “GOOD MORNING TO YOU ALL!!!! it is cold outside. but no snow :( all is quit on the home front as I get ready to go to work. I hope everyone had a good christmas morning!” 9:51:10 AM 12/25/06 “mapleleaf - Hi. Merry Christmas to you and youor family. Your frequency of posting dropped so far that I was close to sending you an e-mail. But then your name finally appeared again. Are you trying to ease up on us? I don't think we're deserving of such consideration. We need you to keep us awake and on our toes. Hope it's not too bad for you working today. Guess someone needs to feed all those neglected pets that you've retrieved. At least you'll be making it a good day for them. All the best to you.” 10:10:30 AM 12/25/06 “Maple!! Say hello to the doggies!” 10:11:47 AM 12/25/06 “thank you NS as far as posting gopes, I just dont like you guys anymore.... LOL J/K i still post when i find the time. someone backed goodies for the dogs and left it outside so when i came to work I found them. I guess there really is a santa :) marko the doggies say....WOOF WOOF!” 12:13:43 PM 12/25/06 “hey chappy, You know how it is. You have to tell people something three times before it sticks. I left one out. :D” 2:15:35 PM 12/25/06 Am I the only one up????? “Ok, 6:00 came late....I overslept, gee......where the hell is everyone?? sleepyheads...................” 6:25:04 AM 12/26/06 “I did oversleep and am drowsily enjoying the guilt whilst my coffee perks. It's in the teens this morning and 4 to 5 consecutive days of snow is headed our way. My tractor is at the ready, with the plow blade attached and chains on the tires. We've pretty much cheated one month of winter, but it's impossible to imagine what may lie ahead in the form of snowy karma payback. Peace to everyone.” 6:37:04 AM 12/26/06 “So, you're subcontracting as a plowman to supplement your income? Nice touch. It's 30 outside here, and looks like rain (or whatever) on the way.........Peace.” 6:38:58 AM 12/26/06 “You're in the snowbelt, Nimblefoot, whilst I am below...16F at wake-up this morning...today is a workday...sigh...need more coffee!” 6:42:33 AM 12/26/06 “Chappy, I happily plow for money, but all the locals have their own rigs and the pot bellied tourists are in the warmer places:) MH, I think we're in the same latitude, the snowbelt being at least 50 miles north of me. Have a good day.” 6:45:29 AM 12/26/06 Hugs. “Good morning. Wow! What a Christmas! Received two, new sleeping bags from my youngest daughter. One is a lightweight and can be used an an insert in the medium weight bag. They are from Ranger Joe's Military and Law Enforcement Gear. Her full sister gave me a VCR/DVD Unit and a DVD of the first film on which her half-sister worked. Nimblefoot - One good storm without a cap on that tractor and you'll be looking for someone else to plow your way! Say, did Nimblefoot call Prosecutor FAT? Have a wondderful week. Next year's plans can start soon!” 7:17:16 AM 12/26/06 “Belts made of snow? Nahhh! I'm in the balmy climes! Loving it for now! (Remember, it's cause I got snowshoes for my b-day waaaay back in November that the earth has tilted differently on its axis and there is no more snow.) (THERE, now you oughta be happy. That ought to have cursed us! LOL) For a shot of the sunny, non-snowy Christmas Day, go to the White Christmas thread. What a beautiful day in so many ways, weather being a big one. And good morning to all. Happy to hear there's a church for spry-footed peoples. LOL!” 7:18:51 AM 12/26/06 “NS, I didn't call Prosecutor fat, but it was purely an oversight, him being both fat and fat headed. lol. Oh, natives don't need cabs on the tractors/plows, it's but a preppy northwoods affectation, much like mukluks (with smiles to MH).” 7:28:31 AM 12/26/06 “Afternoon, everyone. Well, we're finally past Christmas, and I still have hives. You should have seen them on my legs (and butt!) after I was done exercisising. Not itchy enough to justify benedryl, but dang, I looked bad! I still have no idea what is causing the trouble. I figured it was "Holiday Hives" but with the stress over, I'm still breaking out. Weird. G and I survived our first married Christmas. He bought me a watch (which I'm taking back) and I got him lotto tickets. We had a $10 spending limit (thus the reason I'm taking the watch back - its pretty but not gonna handle the wear and tear). I'm scrapbooking today, he's out practicing with some of his baseball kids. Yucky day here. Cold, gray and rainy. Nothing white at all. :( Hope everyone has a wonderful day. :)” 1:25:49 PM 12/26/06 “Smiley -- do you have a live Christmas tree? Pine can be tough on skin.” 1:29:39 PM 12/26/06 “Nope, its fake. Interesting dilema, huh?” 4:16:00 PM 12/26/06 “Nimblefoot, calling Nimblefoot...good morning, sleepyhead! LOL...25F here.. And, good morning to the rest of you. I'm going to try returning to my full work schedule after almost 2 months..that's only 10 hours a day...our "real" hours are 12 hours, 3 days a week and one 6 hour day...they have made an exception for me...wish me luck!” 5:16:17 AM 12/27/06 “Good morning all. Excuse me, I just heard the chirp from my coffee pot. There are priorities you know. MH, glad you're healthy enough to be back to work. It's 24 here this morning, so you got me beat by 1 degree (or I got you beat by 1 degree if the contest is for colder). I "may" have the duplex rented (keep your appendages crossed); checking references this morning. This morning I pick up my new dog, a 2 year old Brittany Spaniel named.....? Looks like I'll have to throw a little name the dog party. Anyway, lots to do, so have a good one.” 6:11:33 AM 12/27/06 Hugs. “Good morning. It was 40.2°F. at the Melbourne, Florida, Airport four minutes ago. Florida must have drifted north during the night. It took a while to get the computer started. It does not like cold weather. I had to share a small, electic, space heater with the computer until it fired up. It is still trying to hog the heater. I would make some coffee, but why bother. The Resource Cafe opens at 8 in aabout 40 minutes and I can drink the free coffee with the sweet rolls and buns there while playing FreeCell on one of their computers. Well, I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas Weekend and that Santa was good to you. The morning sunrise was at 7:12 AM EST. It should start hitting the trees across the street any minute now. Yep, it just came out from behind the clouds and blasted the trees and about half the grassy field. It might even warm things a little before I bicycle over to the Cafe. It's amazing how much the sun influences our feelings. Enjoy the rest of your week.” 6:40:47 AM 12/27/06 Hugs to you too NS “It's 29 here and clear. Supposed to be nice for a couple days then.....whammy, rain. Have to move my son to an apartment on Fri/Sat. Pray that the rain will decide to hold off for another day. Hope everyone got something nice for Christmas. Bought me a Coleman 'Classic' two burner fuel stove. Had to toss the old one last year, I inherited it from dad. Shorah all.” 6:56:29 AM 12/27/06 “Hey all, I have my coffee first thing, internet radio second, check tt third. We are driving north today, 80% chance of snow. Slow and easy, no appointments to meet. I need to find a hot spring. My ribs are killing me from sitting around so much.” 7:51:08 AM 12/27/06 “I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. I hit snooze until around 7. It felt good. It's been a week since I've gotten up at my usual time. This is going to be a fun adjustment. It's good to be back at work. I'm sick of stepping on legos. Our living room looks like the lego factory exploded.” 7:55:52 AM 12/27/06 “HaHaHaHa - thanks for the morning laugh dayhiker! I remember those days. It's going to be 44 in Chicagoland today with a warming trend through the weekend. Dang, it's biking season!” 8:24:02 AM 12/27/06 “Mon I commented that it looked like Santa puked in our living room. The kids both yell, "No he didn't."” 8:38:12 AM 12/27/06 “Back from the Resource Cafe. Had an English Muffin with three cups of coffee. Wore a jacket enroute on my bicycle. The temperature had dropped to 39°F., but is now 51°F. on the way to 62°F. later today. This is our second cold spell of the year. It's only for two days and then we'll get back in the 70's again.” 9:11:05 AM 12/27/06 “I need to find a hot spring. My ribs are killing me from sitting around so much.” Pathman 8:51:08 AM 12/27/06 OH BOO HOO HOOO *sigh* that sounds nice” 9:13:03 AM 12/27/06 “Good morning...gonna be a slippery day...temps hovering around freezing and rain/sleet...should be a fun drive to work in the dark :(” 5:19:48 AM 12/28/06 Hugs. “Good morning. Boy, you look beautiful. Today is forecast to be Much Warmer than yesterday. It was 53°F. about an hour ago. Hope you're getting ready for the outdoors this weekend. The weather should be perfect for it. Have a great day.” 6:05:46 AM 12/28/06 “Weather is looking better this weekend! I may not be as muddy when we leave the woods. I was preparing to look like I had just had a mud wrestling match. ;) :) Sat Dec 30 Cloudy 62°/49° 10% Sun Dec 31 Showers 61°/46° 40% Mon Jan 1 Few Showers 53°/40° 30%” 6:11:33 AM 12/28/06 “Good morning. Picked up new (unnamed) dog yesterday. A great find! She rides well in the truck, stays where you tell her to and likes long walks, during which she tears off on long forays through the woods, only to return at an unexpected moment further up the trail. Once I turned out the light last night, she lay down, not rising unless I happened to roll over. The poor cat, however, has instantly regressed. last edited: 12/28/06 6:38:02 AM” 6:36:58 AM 12/28/06 “you mean the dog lets you sleep in the house? Don't you shed?” 7:57:13 AM 12/28/06 “I'm about shed out, Chappy, lol.” 11:25:41 AM 12/28/06 “Looks like you got a good puppy dog, NF... Is anyone else glad it's Friday?” 5:03:49 AM 12/29/06 Hugs. “Good morning. A camping we will go, a camping we will go, ... Have a great weekend.” 6:24:36 AM 12/29/06 “Good morning all. It's in the 60's here and rain is looming on the horizon. Nimblefootz, you need one of them fancy brushes to clear out that dead hair....” 7:09:17 AM 12/29/06 “Lone Wolf reminded me of this site, so I signed up a few days ago. Good morning from Damascus, Va. It's about 27 degrees and suppose to get near sixty today.” 7:14:53 AM 12/29/06 “Welcome, wanderer, hope you have a great day.............” 7:24:09 AM 12/29/06 “Mata -- I'm happy it's Friday :-) It's been a long work week, so slow but I got tons done. Today it will be 48 and dry in Chicago! So....I'll let my team head out around 2 (they'll love me) and hit the bike :-)” 8:02:14 AM 12/29/06 “LOL...PLEASE GOD LET ME SLEEP IN TOMORROW! I hope I can get one morning of rest....” 8:08:10 AM 12/29/06 “AH, now we have 2 wanderers! Let's see how many people actually apy attention here! Let the confusion begin! Again! Welcome aboard "The Only Wanderer," it's a bumpy ride.” 8:20:04 AM 12/29/06 Nelson BC “25.9 °F / -3.4 °C Mostly Cloudy Sun just coming up. Hi of 28. Have a great day everybody. Happy Camping NS!” 9:24:12 AM 12/29/06 “Good morning, campers! My mood has been elevated due to the extra large cup of columbian supremo I have just liberated from the break room. Looks to be sunny and will reach 55 today. Hopefully they will let us go early and I can get in a good bike ride this afternoon. At a minimum, I was just informed that the office will be closed on Tuesday in remembrance of G. Ford. Hoo-rah! Enjoy the day!” 10:08:25 AM 12/29/06 “Early afternoon, all. Well, I'm now 2-days free of hives. I think I'm finally cured! I'm also incredibly lazy. I slept until 11:30 this morning, and basically just sit around all morning if I get up earlier. I need a job....” 11:19:25 AM 12/29/06 Good Morning All “Haha.....I'm the first one to post this morning............good night.” 12:24:34 AM 12/30/06 “Hey, I'm the first person to post here this morning, rather than in the middle of the night! We're getting the house ready for another open house this afternoon. It's grey and drizzly out. Oh the joy! On the dark side I still ahve an effing leak in my pond. Grrrrr!” 7:21:09 AM 12/30/06 “Good morning. Dawn beckons, but darkness resists. It's 35 outside, unheard of for this time of year and I'm enjoying it. Finally got the duplex rented yesterday. I only got one application after 3 weeks of Newspaper ads. The moment I handed the keys to the new tenant, my cell phone rang with someone else wanting to rent. Go figure. Todays project: move the washer & dryer from the garage to the house (25 up hill yards) and hook 'em up. Take my new dog for a walk and enjoy the day. Peace.” 7:31:52 AM 12/30/06 “ring..ring.....hello? Is this Mr. Nimblefootz? It is? Well I have a stopped up toilet and the washer is overflowing with bubbles and the hot water heater isn't working and the roof leaks and the floor is cracking and the screen door is broken and............ad infinitum......... Can we sing a chorus of "Oh Happy Dayzzzz" ? No?” 7:43:45 AM 12/30/06 Jump to Page << prev
