HPM's probably freezing up there in the Beartooths. We had a front blow in and send that hot weather out your way! The forecast looks like low-70s in Yellowstone and he'll be up another 3,000 feet in elevation. Nobody should feel sorry for that guy!” 1:24:44 PM 7/10/07 “He he he he! That was an evil giggle! I shouldn't laugh like I just did, but boy howdy it felt good! Thanks, Aero! I do hope the fishing's good for HPM, because otherwise it'll be a protein-free trip. For one dinner he going to try pecan-crusted trout. That sounded really good to me. Hell, I may do that with some chicken tonight.” 1:43:24 PM 7/10/07 “He'll probably have some good fishing with the lakes just opening up --they'll probably just take a bare hook. He did say that after he came out, he'd only eat something you have to cut with a knife! I think they'll be on a search and destroy mission for steak and beer when they get back to town.” 1:51:38 PM 7/10/07 “I wonder why guys do that. Steak and ice cream is always on the order after a trip. I tend to go for fresh fruits and veggies for some reason. That, and really good biscuits.” 2:00:12 PM 7/10/07 “http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/07/10/flying.lawn.chair.ap/index.html I have to admit this has a lot of appeal to me.” 2:04:07 PM 7/10/07 “I wonder why guys do that.

That, and really good biscuits.” treebait 3:00:12 PM 7/10/07 Checking the estrogen meter... the reading is off the chart.... >:?P~~~~” 2:21:35 PM 7/10/07 “Good morning.... Hey! it's 7/11! Anybody see the story about the guy that flew 193 miles in a lawnchair? http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/07/10/flying.lawn.chair.ap/index.html  last edited: 7/11/07 5:37:26 AM” 5:33:31 AM 7/11/07 “OMG.....this damn Yankee is hot!!! This is my 3rd summer in LA.....and the warmest by far...and rain expected everyday for a week!!!!!!!!!! good morning hugs!!!! Purple flags up at Gulf Shores.....sea fleas....lol...who knew there was such a thing.....( they say they are jellyfish larvae???...ewww....)...and the jelly fish are bad....sorry if you are planning a trip this weekend!!!! Off to work...hugs last edited: 7/11/07 5:49:37 AM” 5:49:15 AM 7/11/07 “Great, I'm heading to the beach tomorrow. Jellyfish is just what we need. I've never heard of sea fleas, but sand fleas are dang awful.” 6:21:09 AM 7/11/07 “The jellyfish larvae are so small they're about invisible, and they lodge in your swimsuit and leave one nasty, itchy rash. It's almost as bad as chigger bites. Worse, if you're particularly allergic to jellyfish.” 6:40:47 AM 7/11/07 “good morning.” 6:56:08 AM 7/11/07 “  Happily Dappily Humpty Dumpty Day!” 7:17:58 AM 7/11/07 “Morning all. Finally cooled off, and the windows and doors are open. Going to "struggle" to 77 today according to the weatherman. Lots to do today, as usual. Better get started. Have a good one!” 8:11:02 AM 7/11/07 “Good morning, it didn't cool off here yet, but looks like it'll rain any minute. After that it's supposed to cool off. I can't wait.” 8:27:13 AM 7/11/07 “chiggers, fleas” 8:28:47 AM 7/11/07 ““OMG.....this damn Yankee is hot!!! divinity WHY YES YOU ARE!” 8:31:23 AM 7/11/07 “I 'magine HPM will be too pooped to partake in much after the hike. Smelling of fish in grizzly country tends to make one sleep with at least one eye open...” 8:55:55 AM 7/11/07 “I can get a clear view of the mountains this morning where HPM is camped out--nice day up there! If I had a telescope I might be able to spot him! Haven't heard of any bear sightings up there yet this summer--mainly in the Park.” 9:07:03 AM 7/11/07 “Now that, Aero, would be a hilarious photo to post! Someday I'll get there.” 10:37:24 AM 7/11/07 Re: cleaning crap in the baby's nursery “SG: You'll be doing lots of that soon enough:) MH - thanks for the link, just what I was looking for. Pretty much coincides with the federal. Now I get to go after a law and order Republican. Oh, the fun.” 1:00:41 PM 7/11/07 “Get this you guys...it's 48F out right now...how's THAT for great sleeping weather! wish I was in my Hennessy rather than getting ready for work... Glad the link helped, NF .....need.....more.....coffee! last edited: 7/12/07 5:15:19 AM” 5:14:44 AM 7/12/07 “wow...it was a hot one yesterday...heat index @ 4pm was 103...and calling for 105 today!!!... ...I work this am and then I am coming home and doing inside stuff!!!!...siesta!!!! Dayhiker...maybe the jellyfish problem will be cleared up by the time you arrive at the beach.....don't forget the sharks tho!!!!!! Thanks XL....us old folks need encouragement now and then..lol... ya'll have a great day!!!” 5:44:20 AM 7/12/07 “Good morning, the heat and humidity broke last night when some thunderstorms came through. It's beautiful outside now to do just about anything. I should get out there and cut the grass today.” 7:04:59 AM 7/12/07 “NICE thunderstorm yesterday. If that tree hadn't already fallen on the condo ten years ago it would have yesterday! There's so much condensation on the windows it's like being in a submarine.” 7:24:23 AM 7/12/07 “rained like hell here yesterday, probably 5 inches in 45 minutes. Sun's shining now but that'll change, I'm sure.......... Temp not too bad, high 70's...... Had a nice hike yesterday around the lake at the state park, about 2 miles, way too short............” 7:31:02 AM 7/12/07 “Okay Tilt...you made it through the storm...good to hear.” 8:12:11 AM 7/12/07 “Morning! No rain here. Sprinkler is running full tilt. Birch got our duct work repaired yesterday and added a new hose bib in the back of the house. It's a joy being able to drag the hose straight out to the garden instead of through two gates and around three corners. I used to curse so much... So, now we can run our a/c and it's 65° out there, lol. Such is life. I like the windows open anyways. Todays tasks include paying for half of our cabinents, running and picking up boxes for the stuff in our cabinents, weeding up at Abby's school (as if I don't have enough weeds of my own), and making enough meat balls for 27 people and freezing them. AND, best of all, I get to pack my pack for a quick little overnighter this weekend. Been too long since I've been out. Should be a good day! You guys have a good one too. last edited: 7/12/07 8:25:04 AM” 8:22:55 AM 7/12/07 “You should have applied to Extreme Home Makeover Sass and used the hose/three corner thing as your heart wrenching hardship. LOL! I am so looking forward to drinking beer and tearing your house apart!” 8:26:09 AM 7/12/07 “I'm ascared Nigal!! You want I should borrow my dad's FUBAR for you?” 11:34:18 AM 7/12/07 “Afternoon! Not much to say on my end. Same old stuff. Kitchen stuff is moving forward, I'm more and more uncomfortable every day, and the weather is gorgeous. I get a free birthday burger at Red Robin tonight, so I"m excited about that. Did I tell you I got a beautiful micro-suede glider for my birthday? :)))) Hope everyone is having a great day. last edited: 7/12/07 2:31:41 PM” 2:31:10 PM 7/12/07 “Morning. 46F. I hyped...going to see Harry Potter at the Imax theater in Minneapolis...the last 20 minutes are supposed to be in 3-D...now THAT would be cool! TGIF!” 5:04:56 AM 7/13/07 “Did I tell you I got a beautiful micro-suede glider for my birthday? It happens amazingly fast doesn't it? Smiley has gone from 20-something and single to 65 in just a few short months of being married. LOL! I remember the day I got excited because we got an 8-pound Orich vacuum cleaner.” 5:09:26 AM 7/13/07 “Wooo Hoooo...another hot day!!!.....and 60% chance of rain..... ...off to work I go!!! hugs...” 5:42:53 AM 7/13/07 “TGIF !” 6:06:12 AM 7/13/07 AAAAHHHHH! FRIDAY THE 13th!!!! “Duh..........so who cares, another nice cool morning here in NE Texas. Looks like rain barreling down on us from OK. Debs and I are on a road trip to Lufkin, my old stomping ground to take some stuff back to Diboll that I made off with. Then to get Debs med. records to bring here for next weeks mammogram. Now for my last cup of java and a shower.......... You all have a great and blessed day......” 6:24:57 AM 7/13/07 “welcome to friday, sǝɥɔʇıq! just got home from work. let the weekend begin!” 6:56:55 AM 7/13/07 “Is it truly the land of tape measures? I've got a backlog of errands to run and I've got hardware on the brain, < G > (and it's a little too early to be typing, apparently) last edited: 7/13/07 6:59:47 AM” 6:58:04 AM 7/13/07 “I finished the 3rd in my quick list of short careers last night. About half way through a fun evening of taking apart and cleaning the blood and meat from butcher machinery, I paused and said to myself, "this just ain't for me; I'm not going to do it." Just as quickly I relayed that decision to the young man who was training me and all was good. In 5 weeks I have shuttled canoes, pumped septic tanks and cleaned up after butchers. The sawmill gig is likely next and we'll see where that road goes. Meanwhile, my mother visits, my daughter and her b/f will be here this p.m. and I intend to enjoy their company.” 7:42:52 AM 7/13/07 “Good morning, another nice day on the way, but we might get a thunderstorm later this afternoon. I hope we do so I won't have to water my garden. Yesterday, I cut the grass and afterward it seems like the birds had a feast. Cutting the grass must stir up a lot of insects and they were out there searching for them after I was finished.” 7:47:23 AM 7/13/07 “Morning!! Grocery shopping today, and lots of it. Not only are we out of food but the dogs and bunnies almost are too. Three stops. Hoping to be be done by 1pm. Have a great weekend everyone! I will 'cause I get to go backpacking (WOOT)!” 7:48:50 AM 7/13/07 8:03:41 AM 7/13/07 “It happens amazingly fast doesn't it?

LOL!” 1:49:46 PM 7/13/07 “Good Morning!!!...am I the first one up???..I have to go into work for 2 hours today....wooo hoooo!! ....counting down the days until my son comes back from California...woo hoooo!!!!( he comes home Tues) Nimblefoot...lol....what a resume you are building!!!!....and we will expect a "trip report" about your mothers visit!!!! ...after reading the "beating cancer" thread, I will be counting my blessings today...and not complain about my back pain.... ...big thunderstorms here last eve....had to pull my car over on the drive home...VERY bad lightning...we are in the rainy season...rain forcasted every day and no end in site!!! ...maybe dayhiker will enjoy a bit of sunshine while down on the coast!!!!” 2:34:53 AM 7/14/07 “Good morning, looks like it'll be a nice day today and it's sunny and cool out. I went for a mountain bike ride yesterday and got a headache so I think a hike today might work out better. Trail talk seems to be back too. Last night it was slow and some threads weren't working. last edited: 7/14/07 3:48:42 AM” 3:49:15 AM 7/14/07 “Mornin' Time is screwed up. It's 6:36 Central. Looks like we are on CA time. last edited: 7/14/07 4:22:12 AM” 4:22:07 AM 7/14/07 “Woot! Sassy Woot! I'm on-call at the hospital this week but I'll be off call for the next 6 weeks so some trips are in order for sure. The last week of July my wife and daughter are going to the beach with the outlaws. I'm trying to dream up some trouble to get into. The deal with the personal trainer is still working out nicely. I still weigh the same but my pounds are shifting from my stomach to my arms and chest. Woot! I'm up to holding 50 pounds when I do 200 lunges...that'll kill ya for sure but I'll be glad I did it the next time I go backpacking.” 5:27:51 AM 7/14/07 “Good Morning you wonderful guys and gals!” 5:34:38 AM 7/14/07 “Beautiful morning...we got about 1/4 inch of nice, slow rain last night...everything is glistening and it smells so fresh outside...I love mornings! I am slowly, slowly, slowly feeling pneumonia leave my lungs...I re-evaluate my strength on Saturdays and notice the difference...every week-end I'm more positive and even beginning to consider projects I was too tired to even contemplate 3 weeks ago...this is one long, slow road...at least there has been progress...I feel good about that...I really want to get some bag nights in....” 6:49:04 AM 7/14/07 “Posts to this thread from about 8 am today appear to have leaked away into the luminiferous æther.” 7:42:06 AM 7/14/07 “er.... ~ 8 am EDT, that is.” 7:47:15 AM 7/14/07 Jump to Page << prev
