Cloudy and cool here - 53. Rain yesterday and more predicted today. One more of these 2 day rains and we'll have wild flowers in the spring. Planning to go up the mountain out back later on when the bread I just made is rising in the pans.” 6:20:27 AM 12/08/07 “good morning all. well i will venture out today with the help of crutches and head to the radio station with tree. i can not spell so sue me!!! last edited: 12/08/07 7:15:21 AM” 7:10:19 AM 12/08/07 “Glad you're using crouches, shure hate to see you bump your head:)” 7:11:13 AM 12/08/07 “lol the first thing my son said ws, "with the fall maybe you fixed the TV" lol little bugger!” 7:16:45 AM 12/08/07 “Anybody awake at this hour? I fell asleep around 11 and woke up at 1. Now I can't sleep. This suks.” 12:55:07 AM 12/09/07 “1 where? it's 2:42 in CA.” 2:42:52 AM 12/09/07 “good morning....66 outside, looks like rain and Debs has been croaking and coughing for 2 days now...she's sick so she made some chicken and noodle soup, good stuff. All is quiet so I'll make some coffee and finish my story for church this morning.” 4:11:22 AM 12/09/07 “Morning. 28F/-2C here in Eugene. Oh, and it's really foggy. Like little round icicles than hang in the air unsure where they are supposed to go.” 4:52:25 AM 12/09/07 Hugs. “Good morning.” 5:04:52 AM 12/09/07 “Good morning...I saw the national weather report this morning and was immediately concerned for all who live along that storm track...it is amazing how much this websites opens your perspectives... I think of all those who post here from the Northwest when I heard predicted wind speeds of 100mph a few days ago. Today I think of the states in the Midwest that look likely to get hammered by ice...losing power in winter without a wood burning stove has just GOT to be the worst...it's cold here, minus 7, but that cold usually prevents a lot of precipitation...not always a bad thing once you have a decent snowpack... We could use a few more inches and I'm sure we'll get them...in the meantime, I think of Lorax driving from Indianapolis and my sister who will be trying to fly out of Cincinnati tomorrow to be with my Mom who will be getting her second bout of chemo on Wednesday...then, I think of Bearmagnet and Dani... Meanwhile, I'm sitting in a warm house listening to the man I love softly snoring not far away, enjoying a Bailey-laced cappuccino and a wonderful cheese-stuffed omelet...got the tree and lights up last night...today will be the day for some serious decorating...I am blessed! Hope the weather is kind to you...take care out there!” 6:05:21 AM 12/09/07 “20F and slight fog right now headed to mid to high 20's, chance of snow this evening. Bring it on! Tried out the trails at 49 North yesterday. Groomed but no track set, better than expected. Mataharihiker, I am always hungry after reading your "get up" posts. :D” 7:05:02 AM 12/09/07 “  7:25:37 AM 12/09/07 “Crap! I'm outta coffee beans. Must get semi-presentable and sneak off to the store before the church crowd gets there. Don't want to scare any small children..... I'll wear the AT cap with the fewest stains.” 8:25:01 AM 12/09/07 “Lol, Tilt! That's how I felt when I wandered off to the grocery earlier this morning. I was feeling pretty good by the time I got back, and managed to pinch that little something between my shoulder and spine again so I'll be thinking (for the next several days) about popping half a valium because of the pain and tension. I hate getting old. It's too dang hot here! I'm staying inside for the most part today, but if I putter around outside I may darn well change into a t shirt and shorts. It's about 70 for a high, but out in the direct sun it feels much warmer.” 8:55:56 AM 12/09/07 “For sure. Entropy does bite The Big One! I'm now mostly sanitised and heading out the door --- LOL” 9:02:53 AM 12/09/07 “"I'll wear the AT cap with the fewest stains." What kinda stains..............oh, never mind.” 9:04:53 AM 12/09/07 “I don't know how they got there --- I don't usually throw food and stuff on my head. Not usually. Don't remember being dive-bombed by Bluejays or anything either.... It's a mystery.” 9:34:42 AM 12/09/07 “along with that lamborghini on blocks ...and crusty drawls you might want to consider....  last edited: 12/09/07 9:50:48 AM” 9:50:51 AM 12/09/07 “First, you put thimbles on your fingers and run them up and down the washboard in time with the music for added percussion. Then you also get about a 5-foot piece of clothesline and a broomhandle. Punch a hole in the washtub (apologies to Emmett Otter's Mom), tie a knot in one end of the clothesline and run it through the hole. Invert the washtub. Whittle a notch in the end of the broomhandle and tie the free end of the clothesline to the other end. Set the notch on the edge of the upturned washtub and apply tension to vary the pitch of the vibrating clotheline as Twang is applied. Throw in an empty jug and you've got a trio. last edited: 12/09/07 12:37:32 PM” 12:34:31 PM 12/09/07 “(computers are the Very Devil) last edited: 12/09/07 12:34:46 PM” 12:34:32 PM 12/09/07 “  ”12:59:48 PM 12/09/07 “They don't want you linking to their Stuff! ('red x syndrome') "Satan Inside!" LMAO! What? No Emmett Otter fans in da house?!?” 1:13:14 PM 12/09/07 “its shows up on my screen..whatchu talkin bout red x >:-|” 1:14:12 PM 12/09/07 “Red X here. It was not worth the effort going to the url.” 6:59:07 PM 12/09/07 “I love emit otter! I'm gonna go see if the jug band christmas is playing this month right now.” 7:22:35 PM 12/09/07 “Internet: 1, GNM: 0 :p” 7:32:03 PM 12/09/07 “Hey, it was too worth it! I've been telling you guys for years that these things are possessed! Now I have all the proof I need ---- It's visible to you because you had already displayed the image in your web browser.... They're sneaky like that. sneaky and evil. Kinda like the Riverbottom Nightmare Band.” 9:14:15 PM 12/09/07 “well hot diggity..its a new day  ”9:20:49 PM 12/09/07 “Descendants of Buffalo Bob? Bison's second cousin?” 9:32:45 PM 12/09/07 Hugs. “All right, I'm up already! Good morning.” 3:50:28 AM 12/10/07 “Morning Slim!” 4:37:22 AM 12/10/07 “It's a chilly 55 and foggy here in central Alabama. I'm kicking myself about not taking my pack with me on my road trip Sat. I had to bail on the RRG trip but was still obligated for a site visit 1 hr north of Knoxville. I got up there by 10 local time and was done at 10:30. 9 hrs of driving for 30 minutes on site. If I'd thought about it, I could have taken the pack, been at a Smokies trailhead by noon, hiked in several miles, made camp, left early and been home by the time my wife and kids got back from visiting her folks. Gotten get my head out of my butt and think.” 5:01:05 AM 12/10/07 “dayhiker - Alternatively, you could have visited The Brewery in Gatlinburg.” 5:22:57 AM 12/10/07 “Morning all......it's 39 here after being 79 yesterday at noon......WTF......7 days till the Ouachita Mountain Melee......so, no stove on this one, just cold food stuffs: cheese, pepperoni, jerky, chocolate, trail mix, maybe an MRE or three? Hopefully there will be plenty of water around. Poor Debs is still sick some, so I take her to the docs today...” 5:48:00 AM 12/10/07 “dayhiker...that could never happen to me...you'd have to see my car to understand... It's supposed to warm into the 20's today but right now it's still below zero...at least it's not MUCH below zero...only minus one... Christmas tree up and decorated...now, I'm wondering what to make for breakfast...I'm thinking it's been awhile since I've had a breakfast English muffin...one egg omelet, cheese, onion on a toasted English muffin...pretty yummy...then, maybe a caramel cappuccino to make it even nice...yep, that sounds like a winner...b-y-e! Have a safe and warm day!” 5:48:44 AM 12/10/07 “Morning everyone. I'm waiting for the dew to dry on the tigerwood deck, then I get to seal the whole thing with an oil blend that contains quite a bit of rosewood oil. Its a weird combination of turpentine and something woodsy floral, fragrance-wise. I'd better not huff it though. Strong stuff. It's supposed to be 74 and sunny here. That's way too warm. I hope it rains a lot soon, but not until the deck is sealed!” 5:52:08 AM 12/10/07 “good mornin'! fluffy snow falling outside...I love winter...” 5:53:45 AM 12/10/07 “After hitting the road 2 straight mornings at 4am a brewery was the last place I needed. I had a very hard time making it home awake. I really wanted to stop at Smokey Bones in Chattanooga for a lunch of ribs and beer but new better. mata - the Camry purred the whole trip. When I fill up today I'll see the mileage but I bet it was upwards of 33 or 34. The only downside is on Thur night I got a books on tape from the library. At this point I thought I was making the trip and got a 14 hr book. Tape one didn't agree with my tape deck so it was Sirius the whole trip. That got old.” 6:05:12 AM 12/10/07 “I'm up...at work....and it is supposed to be 76 today! Would someone please tell the world it is WINTER!!!” 6:17:53 AM 12/10/07 “Oh CG.... GO JAGS! PANTHERS DROOL!” 6:18:36 AM 12/10/07 “Morning Sass! Morning NS! Morning Tree! Morning Dayhiker! Morning Mata! Morning Chappy! Mornign Twig! Did I miss anyone? Morning to you too! Guess I'm in a good mood this morning. Already accomplished a lot, and Evie is sleeping, a rarity after I turn the hair dryer off. LOL! Cold with a touch of snow coming down. Or is it freezing rain? Guess I'll find out when I go run errands. Have a good day!” 6:52:05 AM 12/10/07 “Have a Happy Happy Day Smiley girl...........” 7:11:43 AM 12/10/07 “Tree...you are so bad! :-) The Panthers suck! LOL I didn't want to gloat but the team that beat my son's high school (Charlotte Catholic) lost the championship to Dudley from Greensboro!!! I was so glad!” 7:14:16 AM 12/10/07 “The only reason I follow local HS football right now is to see whose been kicked off the teams this week and which school's coaching and athletics staff got fired. Apparently quite a few local schools lie about where their football players so they can meet eligibility requirements. Yeah Cg, the Jags are finally doing well AFTER I move!” 7:25:53 AM 12/10/07 “Yea...I read that too. I have my beef with Charlotte Catholic being able to play to play the public schools in the play offs yet they don't play any public schools during the year and they don't have to follow the same guidelines we do ie: they are allowed to recruit!” 7:36:31 AM 12/10/07 “In Alabama the larger private schools have to play up 2 divisions. If you're a 3A in size and want to compete in the public school leagues then you have to compete at the 5A level.” 7:46:03 AM 12/10/07 “I slept in till 10:00 this morning. I'm such a slacker.” 10:18:52 AM 12/10/07 “In the mid-70s private schools in Atlanta were bringing in exchange students from Sweden, the Philippines and god knows where else for their soccer teams. That's some serious recruiting, there. Most of our guys ran cross-country but the Filipinos ran us to death.” 10:37:45 AM 12/10/07 “18F out...nice...that's 32 degrees warmer than this time last Saturday morning... Wally world just started changing the shape of their croissants which are now round instead of crescent shaped...they are quite perfect for my one egg omelet breakfast croissants...since croissant means crescent I suspect they are misnamed but this is America and I am flexible...and fed.... I pretty much live on a powdered drink called Scandi Shake...when mixed with 8ox cold milk they give you 600 calories...I order them online as they are quite expensive...a case of $24 is $41.82 plus shipping...came to $138.44...I had ordered 3 cases of my usual flavor, vanilla. When I opened them yesterday I found 3 cases of chocolate...not my favorite...when I called Axcam they told me they would send me 3 cases of vanilla and suggested I donate the chocolate...what a great idea! Bill has a friend who is retired and lives on a limited income who's wife is fighting cancer and also drinks Scandi shakes but who can't afford them...hope she likes chocolate!” 3:26:52 AM 12/11/07 Jump to Page << prev
