Fri high is 83 and Sat is 85. I really don't want to backpack when it's hot. Hmmm, decisions, decisions.” 6:14:32 AM 3/22/07 “Mornin' all you nice people. :-)” 6:16:06 AM 3/22/07 “LOL...Dayhiker....it is so funny to be thinking of it as HOT already...seems like a week ago folks were complaining of cold. I say go for it...it will only get HOTTER! Is a beautiful day here. Please excuse my whinning but I have a zit on the right corner of my mouth that hurts like (#)$*)(*$ and I can barely open it to eat. Talk about weight loss rememdy! Hope everyone has a spectacular day!!!” 7:07:43 AM 3/22/07 “The kids have been out of town for the week visiting grandparents. I've been batchin it. I'm missin' momma too! That factors in. I'll probably take them, but the camp is on a hilltop and is a dry site. We're going again in about 2 months and camping on a creek. We'll be able to splash around to stay cool. The difference between now and May is the lows are in the 50's. Once summer gets here the lows will be the 70's.” 7:10:46 AM 3/22/07 “I don't know if that qualifies for the Injured Reserve List, D... ya never know! :-( jeeez DH, if you start thinking of 85° as hot you've got Troubles Ahead! [G]” 7:22:45 AM 3/22/07 “Temporarily back on the correct (western) side of Wisconsin. Gotta give the cat a few more days of food and then it's back east for more work. Back here on Friday night, spending the weekend working on my old Ford truck to make it serviceable. My younger years were a mess, but I drank all the time. How does it happen sober? Not complaining, just observing. I like spending time with them, though I wish it was leisurely and we were just hanging out at my place:) Peace to all and even to Mr Stovestomper who just this morning added 4 more words to his usual a.m. post:) We'll work on bigger words soon.” 7:29:03 AM 3/22/07 “I just don't like warm weather hiking in a dry camp. If I've got water to jump into then fine. We shall see.” 7:32:58 AM 3/22/07 ““Mornin' all you nice people. :-)” StoveStomper 6:16:06 AM Nimble is just mad because he doesn't consider himself 'nice people', LOL.” 7:38:39 AM 3/22/07 “I'm with you Dayhiker. Hot is nasty w/out water. Esp. humid, sticky hot. Dry hot is not so nasty w/out water. Goodmorning people. Not much time this morning. My Dad finally blew his back out enough to get his massage ever. =) He wouldn't even take one when they were free and I needed to give them for school. I bet the man is walking like a Neandertal (SP?). Should be fun! Thunderstorm on the horizon. Abby's getting nervous already. Divinity, it'll be good to have you back. Congrats on the new DSL hook-up.” 7:44:17 AM 3/22/07 Hugs. “Good morning. Naw, Nimblefoot is just happy to be back so close to Minnesota. Enjoy a great day.” 7:45:07 AM 3/22/07 “Abby is scared of thunderstorms? Poor kid.” 7:45:41 AM 3/22/07 “I do. I'm just surprised you're talking to them:) Sass - thanks for the offer of the van. I mentioned it to them but they declined. That damn hippy, Spirit Coyote, may be the perfect person for it, but first she must bathe.” 7:46:07 AM 3/22/07 “Somehow I don't think Nimble is happy just to be close to the mosquito state but that is just this Wisconsinite's opinion... I am enjoying my time down here except for westher reports...it is much more volitile and interesting up in Wisconsin. That said, good morning from sunny Jacksonville.” 8:15:00 AM 3/22/07 “Mata, it's going to be warmer up here in my part of NC for the next several days than it will be in Jacksonville! That darned warm weather followed me up here!” 8:27:50 AM 3/22/07 “it is much more volitile and interesting up in Wisconsin Go back to Jacksonville during hurricane season and see if you feel the same way.” 8:29:29 AM 3/22/07 “Jacksonville's actually one of the safer places to be in Florida during the hurricane season. Of course now that there appears to be a La nina cycle starting up, that could all go to heck. We have some very large cardboard boxes lying about upstairs right now, and one of my cats spent the entire freaking night playing in them. In fact he's still playing in them. Red Boo-Boo loves his cardboard.” 8:36:18 AM 3/22/07 “*trying not to make any comments* Hee Hee Hee” 8:37:46 AM 3/22/07 “perv” 8:38:23 AM 3/22/07 “Too freaking late....already know what it would be....(LOL)” 8:38:55 AM 3/22/07 “From NO to about Appalachicola gets the highest frequency of hurricanes.” 8:40:32 AM 3/22/07 “No, treebait has already threatened me with death for even implying she might be a type of cat......so I do know better than to do that. ;-) Just remember, I LUV ya treebait, the worlds most perfect wife, with access to a machine shop.” 10:33:59 AM 3/22/07 “It's interesting that the cat lady's 3 current set of pets all make a food chain. Frogs eat small fish and cats eat frogs.” 11:09:32 AM 3/22/07 “Frogs? Dayhiker, what are you talking about?” 11:14:09 AM 3/22/07 ““Temporarily back on the correct (western) side of Wisconsin.

It ain't easy being young, if you drink, it jsut makes the pain forgettable for a bit. too bad I dont drink LMAO! this is funny because i was talking to somone at work the other day who said when she was on drugs, she still had the same issues with money as when after she quit! And who mentioned bathing??? I already had my bath earlier this week so :P last edited: 3/22/07 11:36:33 AM” 11:29:22 AM 3/22/07 How soon we forget! “ "... as we listened to the choruses of frogs and toads in the wet areas near our property. Very cool. Yesterday was mid 70s, today it's low 50s if we're lucky, then warming up again. I haven't gone outside to check on the new pets ( I still can't believe this happened)yet. They've got plenty of cover, so I'm not too worried. I've wanted a wakin since I first learned about them, but this is silly.”” 11:53:52 AM 3/22/07 “am resisting the Mason Williams reference” 12:03:04 PM 3/22/07 “who is mason williams?” 12:24:33 PM 3/22/07 “Those frogs are pure wild creatures, out in the woods that border our back yard. Not pets.” 12:43:50 PM 3/22/07 “Would that be Classical Gas, mr Tilt? NS nailed my frog reference.” 1:01:29 PM 3/22/07 “My daughter is a cat lover, having 5 or 6. Lately, with the tough times, she and her b/f have been joking about which of them would be better to eat first. Would they taste like mice?” 1:08:16 PM 3/22/07 “They'd taste like either Sweet and Sour chicken or General Tso's chicken. I'm not sure which.” 1:10:21 PM 3/22/07 “hehe.......I've been up since 3:00......I woke and laid in bed praying for a while, then the old noodle started stormin up an idea that I had to put to the word processor....so one thing leads to another. My wife just got up, walked in the den and asked "just when did you get up?"....uh,..... :)” 6:21:20 AM 3/23/07 “Good morning, we lost almost all of our snowpack in one day. 10 inches of snow is now just patches of snow after it was 62 degrees most of the day yesterday. I'm hearing more and more birds outside too so it's feeling like spring. Fishing season starts in a few weeks.” 6:33:52 AM 3/23/07 “ah, fishing........(looks at pole and gear sitting by fireplace)......good idea, RickB....think I'll try that one out.....” 6:36:18 AM 3/23/07 “Abby's got a new pole too. I found my old blue pole in the shed yeaterday. In a month or so we should have lots of fat bluegill making beds at our favorite beach. Easy picking. And delicious too. Happy Friday everyone. Have a wonderful weekend.” 6:45:28 AM 3/23/07 “have fun on the beach, Sassy, with pole and pan..........” 6:48:43 AM 3/23/07 “I can't wait to go fly fishing this year. Last year, I missed the best part of the season so I'm hoping to make up for that this year. I started tying some new trout flies already. Hopefully, we'll get some good hatches this year and we'll get enough rain to have a nice fishing season.” 7:09:36 AM 3/23/07 “Fishing, now there's a thought. Another week of this warm weather and people will have to stop driving on the lakes. Hard to believe they're still out there, but I saw some yesterday.” 7:32:20 AM 3/23/07 “I'm up, but this is way too early to have to start the day.” 7:41:50 AM 3/23/07 “Morning all! Should be another nice day here. The birds were singing before the sun came up. I'm waiting for the trees to leaf out. C'mon, spring! I slept through the WHOLE NIGHT last night! Ok, I got up to pee once, but I didn't have to eat in the middle of the night! Does this mean I'm headed out of that phase of pregnancy, or is it just because I did an hour of yoga last night to relax me?? Oh, sweet sleep! How I love you! Have a great day, and a great weekend, everyone!” 7:43:27 AM 3/23/07 “You'll start eating less and peeing more.” 7:46:05 AM 3/23/07 Hugs. “Good morning. Anyone receive their invitation to treebait's fish fry yet? With hundreds of fish it seems like a good time. Hmm, fish and frog legs, hmmmmm, hummmm, good. I imagine the party can double for a house warming, too. Look out, don't step on the fish, frogs or cats. There are so many one really has to watch where they step. LOL. Have a great day. Thanks, MataHariHiker. I'm glad to learn that Wisconsin no longer has any mosquitos. They were pretty thick three years ago at Anvil Lake.” 8:00:05 AM 3/23/07 “Good morning Ladies and Germs...Did someone say fishing???? Looks like I'm going fishing tomorrow...I need to get one of my obligitory fishing trips out of the way! So I'll try to catch fish in the morning and then start on the tan in the afternoon! Hey maybe I'll even start reading Alter Rock! Hope everyone has a spectacular weekend!” 9:08:59 AM 3/23/07 “hello...sigh..... Some people get bed bugs, some people get fleas.... in our bed we get crickets! UGH. Nothing worse then waking up and feeling CRICKETS crawling all over you. LOL my life at times is interesting....” 9:13:34 AM 3/23/07 “Did they escape from your menagerie or are they wild ones?” 9:14:32 AM 3/23/07 “SC...I'm sure THAT was a shocker!!!” 9:18:38 AM 3/23/07 “Leo, they escape sometimes....they are tarrantula food LOL The cat usually does a pretty good job of hunting em down but I guess there were a few she missed LOL” 9:24:49 AM 3/23/07 “I find it interesting that it is funny to joke about frying up and eating our pets. It's not funny, in fact the fish fry comments are pretty #&%!$ing irritating. last edited: 3/23/07 9:31:17 AM” 9:29:32 AM 3/23/07 “Yes, Mason Williams... The man behind "Classical Gas" (there's a joke there, you can be sure). In this instance however, the reference to AMPHIBIANS reminded me of his poetry. (you couldn't just leave it alone, could you?) Them Toad Suckers How about Them Toad Suckers, Ain't they clods? Sittin' there suckin' Them green toady-frogs. Suckin' them hop-toads, Suckin' them chunkers, Suckin' them leapy types, Suckin' them plunkers. Look at Them Toad Suckers, Ain't they snappy? Suckin' them bog-frogs Sure makes'em happy. Them huggermugger Toad Suckers, Way down south, Stickin' them sucky-toads In they mouth. How to be a Toad Sucker? No way to duck it. Gittchyself a toad, Rare back and suck it! Mason Williams Them Poems (circa 1964) ” 10:00:05 AM 3/23/07 “For some reason the image of Doug Kershaw clogging to that tune comes to mind.” 10:03:29 AM 3/23/07 Jump to Page << prev
