Oh well... hopefully things will begin to thaw out before long.” 11:29:04 AM 2/24/07 “C'mon people, it's 7:30:) We got 6-8 inches of fresh snow last night and it's still coming down. Looks like I get to play with the tractor:). First things first, nothing happens until coffee. Have a great day!” 7:22:34 AM 2/25/07 “All we're getting so far in east Georgia is a gust of wind every now and then. Rain and possible thundershowers are expected in another hour os so ---” 8:23:40 AM 2/25/07 “(-s +r)” 9:37:58 AM 2/25/07 “Been up for hours...it's hard to tell how much snow we got because of the howling winds that came with it...50mph with 60mph gusts, I heard...it's nasty out so I'm staying put...time to put on that second pot of coffee...and maybe today will be movie day...Bill's taped lots on TIVO....” 10:28:06 AM 2/25/07 “I don't known where you are, but Lizs is wigging out on her snowstorm thread, [GRIN] Must be Really Something up there. We're getting 35 mph gusts all the way down here in Georgia.” 10:35:46 AM 2/25/07 “I haven't whined about our weather because it's nothing to what Colorade and the North East got this year. Colder, yes. Snow (until last night), no.” 10:38:28 AM 2/25/07 “Im jsut glad most of my 4 foot snow bank by my front door is finially melted :)” 10:39:35 AM 2/25/07 Hugs. “Bood morning. I was at ACE Hardware last week. They did not have any snow shovels! So, I sure hope we don't get any of that snow here. But, actually, shoveling snow is great exercise. The truth is, it's hot here in Melbourne, Florida. Today is another A/C day! Enjoy your day.” 10:54:33 AM 2/25/07 “The shutters and the siding are flapping like they want to take off... I wonder where the old Stunt Kite is?” 11:05:03 AM 2/25/07 “Evening, all. I'm waiting for more snow and/or freezing rain to come, I'd like to have a snow day tomorrow. I doubt that'll happen. I need another day to recover from this nasty cold I've got...its totally wiped me out. I've done a whole lot of sleeping these last few days, in addition to plain old having a busy weekend. Too much socializing and traveling. Pray for a snow day for us! goodnight.....” 9:46:00 PM 2/25/07 “Forecast for today is warm & sunny. If it's got to be Monday, at least the weather isn't going to be sucky! [G] Rain possible Thurs/Fri --” 6:16:24 AM 2/26/07 “Hello? Hello? Where are all you fine people this morning? No snow day for me....trying to enjoy my oatmeal at school. :(” 6:16:35 AM 2/26/07 “Sorry the snow day fell through. I never have been able to squeeze the words 'oatmeal' and 'enjoy' into the same sentence, ;-)” 6:26:37 AM 2/26/07 “Have a great day everyone!” 6:37:14 AM 2/26/07 “Morning! Nothing but some sleet here. Saw a puffed up, mad looking robin yesterday afternoon. Poor bird. Got out of the house yesterday from 12-7, I feel all better now. Birch found a little cabana place on the beach in Mexico...doing more hunting to see what's around it and what's to do besides bake in the sun and drink Dos Equis all day. There is more to mexico right?” 7:04:39 AM 2/26/07 “Rise And Shine!!!!! Woke up to a skiff of new snow on the ground :) Today is the day!” 7:31:43 AM 2/26/07 “sassafras - Dos Equis! What more could you want?” 7:37:02 AM 2/26/07 “Mornin'” 7:48:43 AM 2/26/07 “SS, you slouch, did you get out and go hiking during the weekend?” 7:50:45 AM 2/26/07 “Sass - tulum, tulum, tulum. There is more to Mexico than that, but why?” 7:51:07 AM 2/26/07 “Nope, SC. Made wall to wall bookshelves for my library, walled the basement stairs, painted, and put up electrical outlets and lights. I have to come in to work to rest.” 7:56:51 AM 2/26/07 “Good morning all. Got the entire driveway plowed and sidewalk shoveled yesterday; no small feat considering this crud I can't shake. I gratefully note that the big snow plow came by in the middle of the night to clear the road and did NOT block off the work I struggled to do yesterday. Rather, they plowed by my drive, backed up and cleaned up their mess, thus eliminating me from being plowed in. Sometimes people can be very considerate. Time to get the day rolling. Peace.” 9:07:59 AM 2/26/07 “How's that schituation?” 9:09:21 AM 2/26/07 “Well, I can't complain about lack of snow for winter camping around here...I'd say we got a bit over a foot...have to go out today and unbury my car...the high winds blew 2 foot drifts in places and one of those places was on my car... I swallowed something wrong 10 days ago and now I am pretty sure I gave myself pneumonia again...this is getting really old...however, I'm going to see if my body can deal with it...I still haven't had any chills or fever so cross your fingers... I hope you have a good week beginning with this Monday morning...hugs...” 9:12:17 AM 2/26/07 “How's that "schituation"?, lol. Well, I've gotten fairly adept at using a camping potty chair that is actually too small for a fairly small butt. The net result is securely tied and deposited in the burn barrel down by the garage. I anticipate at least 2 more months of this pleasure before the ground thaws sufficient to allow the drain field to...drain. Could be longer.” 9:58:44 AM 2/26/07 “Oh man, Nimble!! Poor you. I hope the ground thaws sooner, rather than later...” 10:07:11 AM 2/26/07 “Lyra, how'd you like me to mail you a surprise package about once a week?” 10:22:08 AM 2/26/07 “So, here's my latest avatar which I use on the otherside:  It pretty much illustrates how I feel about work this week...and negotiating through the snow in our driveway...even after plowing I won't be able to drive up once I leave the top of the hill... last edited: 2/26/07 10:24:41 AM” 10:22:41 AM 2/26/07 “Oh that sounds great, Nimble...why don't you actually send it to MarkO's house and I'll pick it up there? SICKO!! :-D” 10:31:38 AM 2/26/07 “Hey, I want a package!” 10:35:59 AM 2/26/07 “Hey tunabreath!! Long time, no smell. :-) What's up? Woooo, you want Nimble's package, that's hot!” 10:48:08 AM 2/26/07 “I thought that might warm your cockles, Lyra. I'm the same old smelly can-dweller. What's shakin' in your world?” 10:51:07 AM 2/26/07 “Haha, I do love warm cockles!! Not much, just chillin out, being as awesome as ever. ;-D” 10:52:01 AM 2/26/07 “Sounds like Nimble has got it in the bag. Shouldn't you be thawing, Lyra?” 10:56:24 AM 2/26/07 “That's what I "thawt"” 11:37:32 AM 2/26/07 “Nimblefoot...I have one of those camping pottys which I've used when the water went out here...now I'm lending it to a friend who's tearing a house apart to rebuild it...ergo, no heat...another friend used it for 6 months while they were building their home...they're not too bad...not to sound impolite but you can keep your packages... 20F...And yes, now that I have to go to work this morning I also bemoan the weather...we're expecting about the same as Lorax...I didn't bother shoveling snow over the week-end...went to clear off my car yesterday only to find that if had almost all disappeared with the warmth of the day...this is perfect winter camping weather and here I have to work... 20F and cloudy...I didn't shovel any of the snow off my car over the week-end and when I went to do it yesterday most of it had disappeared...warm day, I guess...this is perfect winter camping weather...wish I didn't have to work...wish I would stop coughing...anyway, aim well, nimble, enjoy your morning coffe nowslim and the rest of you have a good day!” 5:08:43 AM 2/27/07 “Good morning and an auspicious two's-day to you all. Sunny and warmer still predicted (without the wind this time). Things are just on the verge of budding down here, just about where they were ten days ago before our little cool snap.” 6:46:39 AM 2/27/07 “The forsithia branches Abby cut for me two weeks ago are on the verge of budding here (inside). Still frozen here but the cardinals are singing their hearts out.Friday it's supposed to be 42° and thunderstorm. Back to 32° on Saturday. Tulum! Tulum! Tulum!” 7:04:04 AM 2/27/07 “morning.....” 7:30:10 AM 2/27/07 “buenos dias cold and windy on the mountain this day coffee tasted wonderful” 7:59:44 AM 2/27/07 “Hi MaryPhyl!! Great to see you.” 8:08:10 AM 2/27/07 “Thanks sassafras--I am learning lots bumming around on the threads this am.” 8:14:11 AM 2/27/07 “The more things change, the more they stay the same, VBG” 9:16:07 AM 2/27/07 “Hi!” 9:31:29 AM 2/27/07 “My wife was at Reece's school today to read to his class. Afterwards they were at the book fair and she picked up a book for Emma, "Do Princess Wear Hiking Boots?" I can't wait to read that one to Emma at bedtime.” 10:26:51 AM 2/27/07 “I hiked for awhile with a young lady trail named "Princess" on my '05 thru hike. She always wore pink, she was sponsored by a gear company (because she was cute) and nothing was too good for her. However, one important point, she really could hike.” 11:21:03 AM 2/27/07 “Emma (5) is playing soccer this spring. We bought her some silver with pink swoop cleats last Sat. She keeps wanting to wear them in the house.” 11:25:31 AM 2/27/07 “  "Every picture tells a story, don't it?" -- Rod Stewart 11:54:40 AM 2/27/07 “"Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots?" Mine does.” 12:45:39 PM 2/27/07 Jump to Page << prev
