That's weird Tilt, I figured you guys would have several feet by now.” 6:20:53 AM 12/04/07 “I was hoping for snow with this RRG trip in KY this weekend. It's going to be 60 during the day and mid 40's at night. Heck, I have that weather here. I may only have to take my down quilt and not even bother with a sleeping bag. Bummer.” 6:23:44 AM 12/04/07 “Morning. A balmy 24 here. Sun is out, though. The leaf sucker truck from the city is having a rough time picking up the leaves piled in the snow on the street. FINALLY got one tutoring gig set up. Need more! Nothing much planned for the day. Going to walk the halls at school this afternoon, that's the extent of my exercise lately. Have a good day!” 6:34:07 AM 12/04/07 “In the Olden Days (late sixties, seventies) you could count on it to at least Almost snow once in the Fall..... usually just before Thanksgiving. Nowadays we might have two days in a row with highs in the mid-50s. That's our big "Cold Snap", LOL (good thing I'm not in the toboggan business)” 7:08:22 AM 12/04/07 “Heck Tilt, we had a couple of "almost snows" before Halloween this year.” 7:16:25 AM 12/04/07 “Mornin'” 7:24:01 AM 12/04/07 “6F this morning...I came home from work early yesterday and was in bed, asleep, by 6pm...really tired...had a couple bad coughing spells that knocked me out...so, time to go to bed..that and I had to park at the bottom of the driveway and hike through deepening snow up our driveway to get home took it's toll... So, I'd say we have about 10 inches of snow on the ground...yesterday's afternoon snow dropped another 6 inches on what we already had...they're forecasting more this week-end...FINALLY! we're gonna be able to finally be able to do some decent winter camping before March around here...it's been over 5 years since we had this much snow on the ground at this time of year...they need this so much in Northern Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota...I hate driving in it, the Saturn is no match for big SUV's, but love it for everything else...now, I just have to get my health back! For those of you who have to drive in weather...take care and go slowly...have pity on Saturn drivers who risk spin outs when traveling through slush and/or drifting snow at over 40mph... DAMN! Just smelled something burning...it was the wonderful turkey stock I was reducing...I hate it when that happens and now the whole house smells like burned bird...ick...” 3:17:57 AM 12/05/07 Hugs. “Good morning.” 4:47:33 AM 12/05/07 “Good Morning all......it's 39 here and the sun will rise in all her beauty again...blues and pinks....so its some coffee and off to the trail for meditation time, prayers (remember Bearmagnet) and some scripture reading, plus wandering in the woods and playin with the little critters there......and a snack or two (MRE's).....” 4:49:14 AM 12/05/07 “6F, wow. It gets that cold here about once a decade. Seriously.” 4:49:18 AM 12/05/07 “There's gotta be a foot of snow on top of a chair on my deck. Fortunately most of that depth has been plowed' maybe only an inch yesterday. I can ignore that:) Yeah, prayers for Bearmagnet.” 5:08:22 AM 12/05/07 “Good morning all: another snowy day here in the Great White North.Got the snow blower working last night,looks to me like this year I`m actually gonna need it ! Time to break out the skis ...(big grin) Definitely be praying for Bearmagnet !” 5:19:56 AM 12/05/07 “oh-dark-thirty here. I'll be able to ski this weekend. :D Need to get a winter overnighter in. FYAONW? chappy, tough job, glad you're willing to do it. ;-D” 5:37:15 AM 12/05/07 “HI Yall...Happy Wednesday!” 5:48:41 AM 12/05/07 “Mornin'” 6:28:45 AM 12/05/07 “Looks like we're having a white 20-days-before-Christmas...it's snowing!” 6:38:29 AM 12/05/07 “Coolness. Lyra! I don't care if it rains or snows, just send me the precipitation STAT!” 7:01:11 AM 12/05/07 “Ice and flurries here in CT.” 7:02:19 AM 12/05/07 “Good morning! ooh...cold! zero degrees out there right now...glad I brought my Sub Zero parka in from the shed last night...good timing... Lovely fried eggs covered in a yummy, gruyere cream sauce should start my day off nicely... Let's remember to keep Dani and Phil, Bearmagnet, in our thoughts... May your day go quickly and easily and you have something fun to look forward to this weekend..” 3:29:05 AM 12/06/07 “-12 at the moment and I've been up for an hour or so trying to coax heat out of a reluctant wood stove. I found a couple of pieces of birch near the bottom of the pile and that problem is solved. It seems helpful to crank the propane up to about 65; wood appers more able to maintain the heat with a little jump start. Walked around looking for bambi a little while yesterday afternoon. No luck.” 4:09:00 AM 12/06/07 “Thursday Already? Tempus fugit! It'll be 2008 in no time. Thanks for the reminder, Mata. I have every confidence in Phil ---- He's a tough old bird.” 4:37:29 AM 12/06/07 “Morning. Time is going too fast for me. I wouldn't mind a rewind to last week. I'm sorry to hear Bearmagnet isn't doing well. Glad you guys mentioned it on this thread or I would've missed it. Thank you.” 4:45:25 AM 12/06/07 “Morning again from the sunny south of Canada,yes it`s actually looking sunny today and the snow still has that crisp clean look. Hoping the weekend is storm free,like to get some hiking in. Just one question is Phil and Bearmagnet the same person,or are we talking about two different TT`rs needing our thoughts and prayers ?” 4:56:41 AM 12/06/07 Hugs. “Good morning.” 5:02:54 AM 12/06/07 “Morning all.....39 here with a 10 mph northern so the wind chill is 33.....gotta make coffee......l8r” 5:14:20 AM 12/06/07 “paddles - same guy” 5:31:14 AM 12/06/07 “Freezing Fog. Never saw that before we moved here. Ice fog in Fairbanks, but that is different.” 8:35:14 AM 12/06/07 “or are we talking about two different TT`rs needing our thoughts and prayers ? The simple fact that one is a TTer indicates that they need your thoughts and prayers.” 10:21:33 AM 12/06/07 Hugs. “Good morning.” 12:02:31 AM 12/07/07 “I guess you can`t get up, if you haven`t yet slept, or can you? Oh well,..wotever,..Good Day Everybunnies, I hope the day is pleasent and holds good surprises and warmpth in many forms, for all of you!” 12:34:48 AM 12/07/07 “Good morning. Aren't you glad it's Friday? I am!” 1:26:13 AM 12/07/07 “Morning everyone. Off to RRG, Kentucky at 10 or 11 this morning. Yippie.” 2:29:33 AM 12/07/07 “Good Coffee!” 2:42:42 AM 12/07/07 “The small flickering flames in my stove seem to have recognition issues with wood as a combustible. Okay, time to haul the ashes.” 3:51:49 AM 12/07/07 “Good Morning! Got the last bit of decorations up last night (finally). This morning I get to drive 37 miles to get a physical for that school I'm attending. I get to do it two days from now so they can look at my arm too. Once I get home I'm baking. Haven't run the stand mixer in too many weeks. I'm looking forward to it. Dayhiker you guys have fun and remember, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt! ;) I'll miss being there with you all.” 4:33:50 AM 12/07/07 “Stumpthrower isn't going so hopefully no one will break anything. Sorry yall can't make it. I see a Smokies blowout in the future 8)” 4:42:45 AM 12/07/07 “Morning all: Hope you all have a great day and awsome weekend..” 5:06:24 AM 12/07/07 “morning all...... 57 here and 10 days till the Ouachita Mountain Wanderfest.........” 5:30:09 AM 12/07/07 “  Of course....If we get lost I could always kill ET and cook him....bit gamey though, I suppose...” 5:33:42 AM 12/07/07 “Morning. It feels cold in the house, but temp is 67. I'm bundled up! Got about 2" of snow last night. Pretty outside. Don't think it'll last past tomorrow. Have a good day, folks.” 5:54:09 AM 12/07/07 “POETS! (ho ho ho)” 6:42:44 AM 12/07/07 “Mornin'” 7:09:13 AM 12/07/07 “Chappy - What does the number 10 in the picture signify? It is a good picture; It illustrates how not to pack a packpack! Bet he would not look so tired, if he carried more of the weigh on his hips.” 7:49:26 AM 12/07/07 “good morning, i'm working at high school right now, YEAH! 7 hours of work at a higher rate of pay than my usual job at elementary/middle schools. it's raining, so we are holed up in various places around campus inside.” 8:10:41 AM 12/07/07 “All I see is a red X” 8:16:30 AM 12/07/07 “Those Webshots people are a bunch of wet blankets, < sheesh > And those High School Cops.... Don't get me started! LOL” 8:19:54 AM 12/07/07 “you know you love me :)” 8:21:10 AM 12/07/07 “Hey, those external frames are cool, as long as yopu don't have to duck under anything. (I cheated: right click red x, properties, copy&paste URL of the image to another browser window...)” 8:25:01 AM 12/07/07 “Wow...minus 14 out there...no wonder the furnace has been running all night... YES! Saturday morning...I'm thinking a caramel cappuccino with French toast...that should satisfy any sweet tooth and prepare me for tackling either the laundry or putting up Christmas decorations, as in tree...I'm thinking I'll clean things up so there's a place to put the tree and do the major decorating tomorrow...but first, COFFEE!” 4:20:43 AM 12/08/07 “-18 and the furnace ran only occasionally. I'm a very light sleeper and can hear the furnace blower from 2 floors up, so I roust myself out and throw some wood on the fire. Now I'm going to throw some coffee in me. Today I'm going to hang some sort of heavy blanket over the entrance from the mudroom to the kitchen. The mudroom is nothing but a major heat drain.” 4:27:08 AM 12/08/07 Jump to Page << prev
