The dirt must have been keeping it going. Sorry for your troubles Chapperino. Auto shop blues are no fun. Hope it doesn't cost more than you want to pay.

Good Morning. =) Sun is shining, it's twenty one already and should be a gorgeous day. We got a bit of snow, just to brighten the old stuff up, last night. Everyone's home today since I'm not working and it is good. Opened my last jar of homemade raspberry jam this morning. One pint til storebought.
We have an old friend/brother coming to visit tonight before he heads south for the rest of his life. Should be fun catching up. The older I get the further my friends move. SE MI is just NOT where it's at these days. Have a wonderful day.

Don't worry about it Dayhiker. I'm too crabby for my own good right now I need to relax and try and enjoy the lazy time (but that's not natural for me). Sorry for snapping. I tried really hard to make sure J didn't feel bad at the time so it's no wonder he's shocked.

So, what movie you going to see today?

Yeah, he had no idea and I hadn't been updating him. I'll admit that I didn't know you went to the tarp for a cry either. I knew you were hurt worse than you were letting on, but dang you're tough.

I don't know what we're going to see. I haven't kept up with what's out. We'll probably just grab whatever is available at that time slot and be happy about it. Any suggestions?

Nope, sorry dayhiker. The only movies I have my eye on are both Imax. One is "300", the other is "Mystery of the Nile". "300" isn't out yet. Prolly not a good date movie anyways (unless your wife is weird like me).

Afternoon. G just called me from the urgent care - he's got strep throat. I've known him 4 years, and he's NEVER been sick while I've known him. I'm not sure I'll know what to do with him. :(

Nothing new here - just cooking and cleaning. Nice day outside for a change - 22 degrees and blue skies!

Enjoy!

gosh, hope everyone feels better soon.,

some may remember poppnfresh,

well he had a near death expirience while over in Japan, with mono which the navy docs misdiagnosed. A japan dr. was the one that diagnosed it right. He was about a day away from dying I was told.....(this happened Thursday)

YIKES! He is on the mend now though, and is on sick leave for a while in Japan. Poor kid :( . They had thought it was tonsillittis, boy were they wrong.

Good morning. 50°F./10°C. in Melbourne, florida this chilly morning. But it will soon be 70°F., followed by 76 tomorrow and 77 on Tuesday. Sure glad that I moved away from Lake Wobegon, Minnesota.

Hope you're enjoying your weekend. Yesterday, I enjoyed my first workout in quite some time. It felt good. But the important part was that I felt up tp going over to the Physical Fitness Club and doing a workout. And, of course, there were the showers before and after a wonderful steam bath.

Have a wonderful day.

I've been about for a few hours now. It's a balmy 9 above, a great day for a leisurely stroll through the woods with my pup. 7 deer took their time watering up at my brook this morning. It seems that the section of the brook on my land doesn't freeze up as readily as other areas. Most of it I can walk on, but am reluctant to do so because of that damned Murphy and his law.

Misery loves company, eh? Just got back from the dog walk, a completely different route. I went south on Bramer Road from my place, following its curve to the east and entered the woods by making a left on an old logging road going north. I followed this for more than a mile, with it eventually bending sharply to the right, going east. It started out as a plantation of huge red (Norway) pine, eventually blending into a natural setting of sugar maple, poplar and oak, with lots of nice hills to cruise up and down. I think that this is county land and, if so, there was plenty of dead and down oak with which to resupply my firewood. Walking home on Cty Rd F, I also came upon a couple of birch and oak trees cut, split and neatly stacked by the power line crew. Looks like this will be mine as well:) A good day, profiting physically, spiritually and monetarily from my little foray.

....and I did NOT walk on the brook...

I've had 5 large meals today, along with various snacks along the way. Jeesh! Amazingly enough, I still fit into my pants!

It was around 60° yesterday, which is the normal high this time of year. It'll be cooler the rest of the week.

I am officially an old fart. We got to the theatre Sat night and wound up getting there around 8:00. Most of the movies came on just after 7 and then just after 9. We were too tired to wait around so we just came on home.

hi all.

quick check in while I eat leftovers from last night. that's right, leftovers at 9AM. we have an ultrasound today, so i'm kinda nervous!

apparently we'll be under a winter storm watch tomorrow - 4-6" expected. the weatherman is always wrong, though, so i guess we'll just get 1-2"

have a great day everyone!

Got 3" overnight. More to come this evening, concentrated on the south side of the city (knock on wood) But the big news is that it was 25 degrees this morning. It feels all tropical-like :-)

We were up to 23 yesterday and my dog would not come back inside. She had a great dog day roaming about, sniffing all that could be sniffed and chasing all that is chaseable. I think it's a good day to go back to work on my taxes. Have a great day.

The low here was mid 50's last night. The high yesterday was 68. The high today is probably low 50's with the temp dropping since about midnight.
