Slow day here. Should be cleaning and packing, but I'm not motivated to do much of anything. G and the baby are "talking" to each other. I'm sitting back and enjoying the show. :) Have a nice Saturday, everyone.” 6:41:47 AM 11/10/07 “UGH! You folks with snow.............you're hurtin' me.........” 6:43:49 AM 11/10/07 “I miss snow. I really want a nice big snowstorm here, like a few feet or so. 98% of the people in this town would freak.” 7:50:35 AM 11/10/07 “Morning, all... Sass... make i through that BB Jam yet? Took last weekend to head to Apple Hill, Apple Dumplings for breakfast! Yeehahh... Soon be time to head back there. Had to make room in the freezer for these babies, so thawed some berries and made another batch of BB Jam... Mmmmmmm.... Mornings are pretty tasty around HERE!” 7:55:19 AM 11/10/07 “Obiwan, I made a batch of biscuits and we ate half the jar the day it arrived! It was delicious.” 9:03:19 AM 11/10/07 “Good morning.....the sun is slowly rising and very beautiful, reddish/blue....kinda warm out >:/ Veterans Day Service at church this morning so I have to set up the multimedia stuff, then after church Debs and I will go to the State Park and walk the trail.....Yippee!!!!” 4:30:45 AM 11/11/07 “Good morning...went with an omlette on a croissant with a really tasty cappuccino for my first breakfast this morning...hope the wind stops so it's not so nasty outside...I have some chores I'd like to do...hope you have a nice, relaxing Sunday if you don't get to get out and hike...” 5:07:09 AM 11/11/07 “I've already walked up in the woods on top of the big hill, frost slightly crunching beneath my feet. A buck snorted upwind of me, but never came any closer. Yesterday morning I helped a friend rig a tree stand on a ridge above the creek on the other side of the road. I thought it a little late in the morning to get any deer activity (the stand should have been up not later than the night before), but within an hour he bagged a little 8 pointer with his bow...or maybe it was the arrow. I'm headed out in a few minutes to buy a stand for this side of the road. There's a lot of deer and not many hunters since it's all private land. I've got enough wood stored up to justify this frivolity.” 5:08:18 AM 11/11/07 “Good morning. Steely grey clouds on the horizon. 70% chance of rain today. I've gotta finish my tea and get myself outback to fill the wood bags. After the business of yesterday I think Ab and I will stay in today, maybe snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie. At most a quick stop at the grocery store for more popcorn kernels. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone. Nimblefoot, good luck with the tree stand and bow hunting!” 5:39:22 AM 11/11/07 “It's sunny here in North Alabama and the high temp today should be around 60F. The autumn colors are still on the trees which is unusual...the leafs are usually gone by now.” 5:48:04 AM 11/11/07 “Morning. We're up and off to church in a few minutes. I don't know what its like outside yet, we haven't opened any blinds yet! Have a great Sunday!” 5:57:35 AM 11/11/07 “We did a Cub Scout campout last night. Emma had more fun than Reece. The last time I checked the forecast (Thur or so) it was a low of 45. I packed accordingly. We had frost last night. The kids did pretty good though. Sass - If Chuck E Cheese is the reward then what in the hell did you do? The Chuck can be fun as long as there's not a big group having a bd party.” 9:27:41 AM 11/11/07 “The big reward for Ab, not me. Although I do love a good round of ski ball the noise level in that place is horrible. I don't know why anyone would actually choose to work there. I feel exactly the same way about Casinos, except they don't have the redeeming ski ball and pure kid joy factor.” 11:41:46 AM 11/11/07 “Good Morning.....it's 64 here, cloudy, maybe rain.....I hope so, at least in Oklahoma around the OT. Need water up there to resupply when we go hikin next month. Sun might start coming up in another 40 min or so.....coffee's done brewing, time for some and a walk....” 3:44:10 AM 11/12/07 Hugs. “Good morning. It's a beautiful day. Hope you enjoy it.” 4:50:29 AM 11/12/07 “Good morning!” 4:51:39 AM 11/12/07 “Morning! Evie and I are off to FL today. I don't know if I'll check in or not, so I might not "see" you all until Friday. Its raining here, high of 54 today. Glad I'm going to sunny and warm weather! Have a good week everyone!” 5:48:55 AM 11/12/07 “Morning all. we slept in until almost 9, but by accident. I was supposed to have my car in for some work around 8:15 this morning, but since the alarm wasn't set...oh well. At least HPM has the day off. He's still working on the back deck, installing tiger wood. Wow that stuff is gorgeous. I need to change into my mud clothes and finish shaping the bottom of the pond now. Joy.” 8:03:49 AM 11/12/07 “Good morning...34F and probably cloudy...still dark so who knows? Only work 2 days this week then I fly down to Jacksonville to take my Mom and Dad out to dinner for her 81st birthday...she starts chemo (lung cancer) Nov 21... Tuesday...all day...” 3:11:06 AM 11/13/07 “Everyone is going to FL this week it seems. Thur I fly to Orlando and drive down to Vero Beach for a project. I'll be back Thur night though. It was supposed to be a Gainesville and Orlando trip. I was going to check on a project down there since I was going to be in the area. I waited a day too long to book the flight and the prices doubled. Since this wasn't a mandatory trip I bailed. Shame because I was going to spend Wed night at arclite's. It would've been good to see him again.” 3:51:45 AM 11/13/07 “Good morning! It's going to reach 62° here today, according to NOAA. That's just a tad warm for November 13th. Working at the school all day. You all try and have a nice day. See ya later!” 4:37:58 AM 11/13/07 “morning everyone........gonna be warm here today..again..... Time to spend in the office, then a walk later at the park........” 4:54:40 AM 11/13/07 “Morning all..beautiful day here,NO rain or snow....(big grin). Hope you all have a blessed day.” 5:13:40 AM 11/13/07 “Good morning, it's gloomy out today. I had two nice days of hiking Saturday and yesterday. Monday, I went hiking with MSilver to the ice caves in the Gunks of N.Y. Very cool place and we hiked in a few inches of snow which I didn't expect to be there. I had the wrong boots on for the conditions, but we kept moving all day so it didn't really matter that much. It was like a winter day, windy and cold. It was shame all the views were socked in with low clouds.” 5:24:05 AM 11/13/07 Hugs. “Good morning. Guess I'm on "Ignore" by most people. No doubt I disserve it. At least Marko visited with me, when he came to Florida. Have a great Day.” 5:30:08 AM 11/13/07 “NS, your last few posts have mainly said good morning. That doesn't exactly prompt conversation. I hope all is well.” 6:13:12 AM 11/13/07 “Dang, it's still morning. Can I go back to bed now?” 7:52:06 AM 11/13/07 “Afternoon, all.” 11:04:58 AM 11/13/07 “ “NS, your last few posts have mainly said good morning. That doesn't exactly prompt conversation. I hope all is well.”Hmmm, it appears that it did prompt some conversation. Thanks, dayhiker. I already said it all here: http://www.thebackpacker.com/trailtalk/thread/49765,-1,0.php#1659927” 11:35:28 AM 11/13/07 “Didn't NS mean that no one is visiting him while we're all in FL? I don't even know where NS is in FL.... I'm in North Port. The sun was out this morning, but its very cloudy out now. Bummer. 80 degrees out, though. We visited Punta Gorda this afternoon. I didn't see it before the hurricane, but my folks said its really changed for the better. We'll watch the sunset at Boca Grande tomorrow. Ah, this is the life!” 12:45:05 PM 11/13/07 “Ahhh, you're probably right smiley. Sorry for the misunderstanding NS. Smiley, all of the names you mention sound like places where Jerry Seinfeld visited his folks from the show. Ahh, the Boca Grande, they have the best coffee and ping pong to boot!” 12:46:45 PM 11/13/07 “Where do you live in Florida, Nowslimmer?” 3:40:42 PM 11/13/07 “Mataharihiker - Melbourne, south of the Cape and north of where Roam Around used to live. SE of Orlando. last edited: 11/13/07 3:55:46 PM” 3:48:47 PM 11/13/07 “Good Morning hugs!!!.....yes..I have been AWOL....Saturday went to Holt Fla & saw our friend win @ the drag races.....woooo hoooo!!!!....Sunday dinner @ mom's...while sitting at the table after the meal, my neck started burning/itching...and in just a few min my gland was swollen the size of a marble....so off to the Dr yesterday & he is sending me to an EENT ...wooo hooo...road trip....at least my sugar & blood pressure are good!!!.....and I lost 5 pounds....wooohooo!!! Hugs ya'll have a great day!!!” 2:47:49 AM 11/14/07 “jeez.... Hump Day already? Current Weather Report for the Central Savannah River Area: Partly cloudy, cool and dark.” 3:19:01 AM 11/14/07 “Right, NS...I knew that...just forgot... It's warm outside, 41F but the wind is strong and I guess it's going to increase throughout the day...I think I heard something about wind gusts maybe reaching 50mph... There was the most incredible sunrise yesterday...I've never seen anything like it. Not only was the sky red from horizon to horizon, the many clouds in the west were glowing with that bright, coral light around their edges while they were vibrant dark pink...I've seen this at sunrise in the east and sunsets in the west but I'd never seen it at sunrise in both eastern and western horizons...it was memorable... Have a great humpy-day, gang....” 3:22:59 AM 11/14/07 “Lots to do today. Headed to Danbury to take a couple of old friends to breakfast and cut a load of firewood. This afternoon I hope to process some harvest for the freezer. I stopped at the Hole in the Wall on the way home last night and pocketed am extra $250. Maybe I can afford a beer...” 4:03:07 AM 11/14/07 “Last night was fun. Reece was really keyed up about going to Cub Scouts last night because he's earned his fist badge. He's talked about it all week. His grades and conduct come home on Tues and he didn't do well. We were dealing with that then sat down to eat supper. He gets up to go use the restroom in the middle of the meal. Emma then gets up to go and gets to the restroom before he leaves. I go follow them to direct traffic and she goes nuts for me to look. I step in the half bath and look around. The light switch still doesn't have a cover plate so you can see the loose edge of the wall paper. Reece had pulled the loose edge and ripped a piece about the size of 2 hands. We're out of the wall paper and good luck getting the same lot #. They only sell it in double rolls. I went ballistic. Normally, we take all Pokemon toys away for example. I made him take every toy bin in his entire room downstairs to our closet and I stacked them on the top shelves. He had a story to read to me for homework or he wouldn't have gotten a bedtime story. Before bed I told him I loved him and I was proud of how he was handling his punishment. I think I should make him pay $10 in allowance money towards fixing the wallpaper. Ain't parenting grand?” 4:32:00 AM 11/14/07 Hugs. “Good morning you wonderful people. Mataharihiker - My heart is still in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois and the Republic of Panama. divinity - Get that thing fixed. Don't you have any idea what caused it. Good luck. Nimblefoot - Isn't the "Hole in the Wall" a privy? dayhiker - Good morning. Sounds like you have your hands full. He is a real one last edited: 11/14/07 4:43:58 AM” 4:38:26 AM 11/14/07 “Kids love to peel wallpaper. I'm not sure they can help it. If there's an edge to pick at it's toast! Slap some white glue down and stick the piece back on carefully. I peeled wallpaper, my brothers peeled wallpaper and just recently my niece peeled the biggest chunk of wallpaper in history, all from my mom's upstairs hallway. Poor woman, you'd think she'd know not to put more wallpaper up. We had conferences last night. All went well. =) Lots of work today. Start at 10:15 and I shouldn't be home until about 7. I'm happy things are picking up . Takes a long time to build up a clientele.” 4:44:27 AM 11/14/07 “NS - You could answer that question by placing your butt up against any wall to determine the liklihood of success;) If I recall correctly, the Hole in the Wall is where you got into your famous bar fight a few years ago and were subsequently thrown in the slammer.” 4:44:52 AM 11/14/07 “Morning all, still warm here but a cold front moving in today........gotta go make a presentation for the women today at church on Veteran's Day.....then meet with the ministers in town for lunch......then to the park.....then the kids this evening with a rock band....... Nowslimmer in a bar fight and jail....sounds like fun/rest........” 4:55:42 AM 11/14/07 “why are all my album pics deleted???? where did all the pics I d/l'd onto this website go?” 5:13:34 AM 11/14/07 “I think this piece is going to be too big to repair. Also, it only peeled the thin colored layer off and left the thicker sticky part attached to the wall. Agreed on the wall paper though. I was suprised she wanted it. I didn't say I told you so either! NS, looks like I'm going to be about an hour south of you tomorrow.” 5:14:30 AM 11/14/07 “chap - it's that seamless server upgrade that happened yesterday.” 5:21:22 AM 11/14/07 “Good morning, it's gloomy out again and it's supposed to be 60 degrees today, but the rain is supposed to hold off until tonight. I'm glad because I have to drive to Philadelphia to get my neck examined and I'd rather not have to drive in the rain going down there. I don't think he'll do anything about it and it still looks pretty much the same as it did two weeks ago. I think he just wants to see if it's leaking as much as it was and if it's getting worse.” 5:22:49 AM 11/14/07 “Dayhiker......there are albums there with thumnails on them, but no pics in the albums....I can't delete albums, upload, nothing.......I started when I put Nowslimmers pic up in one album and now nothing has been working.....I think Nowslimmer sabataged my page...... :)” 5:23:33 AM 11/14/07 “Chappy - My toes are still in the Photo Page!  ”5:41:07 AM 11/14/07 “nowslimmer, check out my photo albums and see if you can see any pics in them....this might be my computer screwin with me.....” 5:44:36 AM 11/14/07 I checked. “Chappy - Yep, you definitely have a problem, unless you like red x's!  ”5:51:52 AM 11/14/07 Jump to Page << prev
