Dude! Let's get the rumor started.” 3:37:50 AM 1/26/07 “oh nimble you'd like that wouldn't you? it's a nice picture in your head right now isn't it? have fun with that.” 3:45:35 AM 1/26/07 “check it out, i'm PCTing tomorrow!” 3:46:12 AM 1/26/07 “Good morning! Brrr, it's cold in Charlotte this morning. I like it! HPM apparently gets so chilly sleeping here that he pulls one of his sleeping bags over the top of the quilt in order to stay warm. Heck, I slept uncovered except for my keeping my feet under the quilt and I was good. Of course sleeping uncovered is normal when your husband is a blanket thief. I've got a walk through of the new house today, so I have to keep a very critical eye. ;P” 7:07:45 AM 1/26/07 Hugs. “After reading all the remarks here, I decided not to post here today! Gkood morning. Nibblefeet, I hope your Ford has a working A/C. Sass, please quit trying to end it. You're going about it all wrong. Mata, I jhope you've been feeling well. maryphyl, it's always nice to see your posts here. Pathman, I hope you get your fill of snow. Chappy, you preach too much! LOL. Tilt, I like your old name better. dhutch1, please post more. You're always so interesting. dayhiker, you're one guy that seems to be always crusing around. That's good, though. smiley girl, you have too much time for posting for a newly wed! lyra, you confuse me, so I have no idea what to say to you. StoveStomper, it's good to see you behaving! It's a cold 42°F. here in Melbourne, Florida. It's our third taste of winter this season. Well, it's time to fill up at the Resource Cafe. Have a wonderful day.” 7:16:27 AM 1/26/07 “yawn. I don't think I have had my fill of snow since living in Fairbanks. 28, more of that light freezing fog. Coyotes woke us up just before my alarm. Sounded like they were just outside the window. Mrs Pathman saw bald eagles in the neighborhood while walking yesterday. Did you hear that coffee makes you smarter? First cup always tastes best.” 7:28:36 AM 1/26/07 “....is that our report card?” 7:29:35 AM 1/26/07 “Yeah, I'm working on that Name Thing, LOL” 7:29:53 AM 1/26/07 “Good mOorning........ 30 here, and I c the nativs are resless....” 7:52:36 AM 1/26/07 “Nowslimmer I have no idea what you're talking about! You think I'm trying to kill myself by flying log?! LMAO! No, I have way too much life in me. Too many things to do. It was -5° last night with the wind chill. Brrrr. It was a woodstove and furnace night. Today I clean house and decorate for the Birthday party tomorrow. Itshould be fun. I'll do it up crazy with crepe paper and balloons everywhere. Abby will freak when she comes through the door after school. The first round of BB gun practice ended happily. No targets hit but Abby Oakley liked it. You all have a great Friday!” 8:23:54 AM 1/26/07 “She needs a challenge. How about that shooting the cigarette out of her dads mouth trick?” 8:35:21 AM 1/26/07 “Afternoon, all. Sounds like my long-term job will start on Monday. The very pregnant teacher told all her classes she likely wouldn't be in on Monday. Yipee for me! I like getting paid! We got 3" of fresh snow during the day today. Snowfest is in full swing. I'd like to go walk around tonight to see it, but I think we'll be at the basketball games. Guess we'll have to dodge the crowds tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone! Stay warm! Happy Birthday again, Abby!” 3:04:45 PM 1/26/07 “Sass, have you seen the Volvo ad with the cute little darked haired girl being strapped into the safety seat just talking away like the blue blazes? Having never met Abby, this is the visual picture I have of her. SG - congrads on the paycheck! last edited: 1/26/07 3:09:05 PM” 3:08:26 PM 1/26/07 “Morning you bed heads.............41 here, raining and I'm going out hiking in a few minutes............cyaz and have a good day..........bed headz...........” 6:32:11 AM 1/27/07 “You're not casting asparagus at my coifure is you? coffeeeeee ---” 6:56:00 AM 1/27/07 “Ahhhhhhh. Coffee!” 6:57:27 AM 1/27/07 “I caught a snippet of this on the news. Some Dr. Strangelove type is working on putting caffeine directly into doughnuts to circumvent the coffee experience altogether --- Blasphemy!” 7:32:06 AM 1/27/07 “It'll all be in a pill sooon, won't it? Even the hiking experience. I often think that's where Bitpusher is, polishing up the final details...I better get my coffee while I can:)” 7:44:11 AM 1/27/07 “Agreed! Stovestomper, Abby talks/acts just like that little girl. It's a good comparison, definately. Well, today is the day. Ten five-seven year olds coming to our house for two whole hours! There will be two games, time to apply make-up and nail polish, and cupcake makeovers (they'll decorate their own cakes). I shudder to think of all the stuff that Abby will get from these girls. Oh well, birthday parties only come once every blue moon in our house. This is our first one. If the dogs stay out of the cake decortaions and don't take down the decorations while I'm working this morning it will be a miracle! Birch got out of the house asap this morning, lol, and doesn't plan to come home until after 4pm. You guys keep me in your thoughts from 2-4 today. I have to go out and buy at least two rolls of paper towels. This is not a time to avoid paper products! Have a wonderful Saturday!” 7:46:33 AM 1/27/07 “Good morning. It's another beautiful day in Melbourne, Florida. The sun is shining brightly and it's 53°F. going to 73°F. today. Hope you enjoy your weekend.” 7:47:21 AM 1/27/07 “So Birch is heading for the hills, LOL May The Force Be With You.” 8:14:20 AM 1/27/07 “aye, aye to coffee, dripping as I type. Time to steal a cup from the pot. 21, headed for 27. Partly cloudy forecast but clear right now, barely light on the horizon. Sounds like a good day to do a practice run on the langlauf course. birthday parties. Shudder ” 8:25:17 AM 1/27/07 “I'm still sitting hear reading the paper online, listening to the radio and drinking coffee. I should be on the snow by now.” 10:18:46 AM 1/27/07 “US Figure Skating Championships are happening here right now. Spokane broke the 2002 LA record for ticket sales. Quotes about Spokane in the national press. ...a place described in recent press reports as "a river city near the Idaho border," "exuberant and charming" and "The Little Engine That Could."... ..."surprisingly" large turnouts for events and lauded the city's welcoming atmosphere... In a piece this week in Seattle's Post-Intelligencer that was sure to make the hearts of civic boosters flutter, Spokane's ability to attract the skating championships was placed into a context of overall civic improvement. "As snow drifts onto new downtown rooftops, wraps Riverfront Park in white and forms icicles above Spokane Falls, there are signs everywhere that the hub of the Inland Empire is on a roll. The famed, historic Davenport Hotel has been grandly restored by owners who also opened a hip new hotel across the street. Downtown vacancy rates have plummeted, replaced by new businesses, condos and retailers. Tourists and locals alike flock to classy new restaurants and bars." On Friday morning, the Seattle Times' Ron Judd wrote: "Spokane, by all accounts, has done a bang-up job of holding the nationals, and media types from around the country have offered praise for the Spokane Arena and the city, which has rallied around the event." The Chicago Tribune's Philip Hersh wrote, "At a time when the sport needs a boost, it is getting it from Spokane." Not bad reviews for our new home town.” 10:24:58 AM 1/27/07 Step 1 “Breakfast” 10:28:38 AM 1/27/07 “My Mama is very sick. Those of you of Faith please include her in your prayers.” 12:06:44 PM 1/27/07 “I'm sorry to hear that SS. I hope she gets better quickly.” 12:24:57 PM 1/27/07 “I shall do it, StoveStomper. In fact, I have started already.” 12:47:11 PM 1/27/07 “Will do Stove!” 1:09:23 PM 1/27/07 “Oh Stovie...I am so sorry to read about your Mom...I hope she recuperates soon...my prayers are with her and you....bon courage.” 3:56:30 PM 1/27/07 “SS, just sent a prayer for mama up. Hope all is well for her tomorrow. Sassy, how did the party go? Is the house still standing? Is Birch coming back?....in this century?” 4:37:37 PM 1/27/07 “Sovey, I launched a prayer to my heathen God as well. Hope things go well:)” 5:00:38 PM 1/27/07 “Pan, Artemis, Zeus...porcelain? Or are you a Zoroastrian? :p” 5:07:53 PM 1/27/07 “Whatever works on a given day. Same source, different points of access.” 5:49:44 PM 1/27/07 “wow, this is a long thread. Nothing else to say.” 6:00:10 PM 1/27/07 “yotaman, this is the thread where flaming rarely happens. Good vibes all around.” 6:02:29 PM 1/27/07 “Well, Chappy does seem to need a bath!” 6:26:07 PM 1/27/07 “Dang, I'm such a lazy bum, I can't even get here on a Saturday morning. I was up, but in and out of sleep. G was in bed until 1PM, when his phone rang and woke him up. We walked around town to see Snowfest in all its glory. It was the closest my boots have been to hiking in a long time. Beautiful day - over 30 degrees, so it was nice. Watched the college ice carving championship for a little while, until our butts were numb from sitting on the metal benches. Shoveled a bunch of packed down snow off the driveway too. My long term gig will officially start on Thursday. Preggo teacher says she's gonna stick it out a few more days. God bless her - she's so ready to be done! Sass, how was the big party? Goodnight, everyone. Catch up with you tomorrow.” 8:32:51 PM 1/27/07 Nowslimmer...... “Got off the trail this afternoon, came home, had a hot bath........ :p” 8:44:08 PM 1/27/07 “So --- we had out One day of sun yesterday. I managed to squeeze in a little 8 or 9-miler. Now it's back to solid overcast, intermittent falling sludge... later: mid-50s and a lake wind advisory. cheers!” 5:26:44 AM 1/28/07 Hugs. “Good morning. My little heater just quit. The indicator lights are on, but the heater element stopped. It's thermostat may think it is warm enough, but I had it blowing on my bare legs. 66°F. at the Melbourne International Airport just down the street, but it is going to get colder today. We just had a shower and more are expected. Chappy, I was talking about your shady posting. Maybe we'll get some good trip reports posted later today. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I'm going to get my pants and coffee.” 6:09:57 AM 1/28/07 “Happy Sunday, folks! Time for some coffee. Need a shower, and to head into the office...... would much rather be hiking.” 6:17:58 AM 1/28/07 I'm up already................... “nice and quiet around here as I prepare for church......... Nowslimmer, hope you get that heater fixed, cold feetz are not fun on a winter morn..... Had my tea and now to run to the fellowship hall and get the coffee pot going.....too bad you all don't live close, I'd have you all over for coffee and donuts, then we could have a rippin good time in Sunday School.......... Today's sermon title: Amor Conquista Todo oh, it's 36 here............. last edited: 1/28/07 6:42:09 AM” 6:38:26 AM 1/28/07 “Good morning, guys...4, nope, now 5F out...feels colder with the wind...gonna be like this all week. Living in a house with a crawlspace instead of a basement means you had best keep your feet up when it's this cold...good day to spend a few hours in a nice, warm laundrymat...trouble is, I haven't unpacked the loaded sled from the winter camping trip I was on a couple of weeks ago...oh well, I'll squeeze the laundry in somehow...if I unpack now I'll just have to repack later, right?  ”6:39:53 AM 1/28/07 “Chappy - Do you preach in Spanish? If so, don't forget: El amor verdadero es eterno. Mataharihiker - Good morning. Glad to hear you're still nippy, like the weather. Have a good day. last edited: 1/28/07 7:11:00 AM” 7:02:10 AM 1/28/07 “ah... The sun has come out, but for how long?
