Ick” 6:24:13 AM 3/05/08 “Oh hell, I'm up. Been up for almost 2 hours (since 3AM). Dang kid has slept too much during the day, and is now wide awake in the middle of the night. Ug. She's playing in the exersaucer. I don't have to teach today, but I do have to talk to parents for 7 hours today. Double Ug. Looks like there's a dusting of snow out there. When does spring arrive?????” 1:43:21 AM 3/06/08 “March 20th, officially. Good morning! We got our street plowed for the first time ever this winter. We must have gotten more than I thought. Usually they only do our little street if we get 8 inches. Last day of clinicals! Woot!! Have a great day everyone.” 4:15:57 AM 3/06/08 “I've been up since about 5:30..... WTF? LOL At Least it's Thursday. T-minus 11 days 'til green beer (St. Pat's on a Monday? < argh >)” 4:19:06 AM 3/06/08 “Good Morning!!!!!! ...a chilly day in LOwer Alabama!!! ....brrrrr...and a low of 30 Sat eve....I wanted to get all my plants in the ground Saturday...oh well...maybe Sunday then!!!! ...I am READY for warm weather....” 4:25:03 AM 3/06/08 “mornin'... I love snow days off with the kids, but it sure is eating into my vacation time...” 5:39:46 AM 3/06/08 “I tried hanging sheet rock yesterday. Emphasis on the word tried. I'm going to have to figure out a way to hold it in place (no wiggling allowed) and secure it to the studs with only two hands. It took a night of sleeping on it (no, not on the sheet rock), but I think I hve a plan...which is exactly what I though at this time yesterday. I may end up at the Hole in the Wall...” 6:25:10 AM 3/06/08 “Good Morning!!!!! IT'S FRIDAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!...woooooohoooooooo!!!!” 4:28:57 AM 3/07/08 “Gettin out this weekend...granted I will have to come into town Saturday for a couple hours to work...but will be sleeping out for two great nights.” 5:11:02 AM 3/07/08 “-20. This #&%!$'s not even funny anymore. I have to thaw the firewood in the microwave before I can burn it;)” 5:20:58 AM 3/07/08 “Good morning. It's raining here in tn. I'm reading dr. suess to my son's class later this morning. I'm really thinking about running away for a night. last edited: 3/07/08 5:25:37 AM” 5:24:40 AM 3/07/08 “mornin'! storm advisory for the whole weekend, chances of flooding...” 5:28:42 AM 3/07/08 “Good morning, more rain is coming here too. I went for a hike last evening and the woods are soaked with puddles everywhere. We sure don't need more rain. Have a good weekend!” 5:45:14 AM 3/07/08 “We have a winter storm watch..up to ten inches before Sunday morning. I want to take the B to the Detroit Institute of Arts tomorrow so I don't want this snow. (As if I have a choice) Have a great Friday everyone.” 5:53:09 AM 3/07/08 “Solo sheetrocking sucks. I once braced the rock up with a pair of 2X4s with a makeshift cradle on one end of each board and one in place I toenailed the rig to the floor. It worked but it wasn't easy. It was better to just wait until I got some help.” 6:08:38 AM 3/07/08 “HPM, expert at makin' do... ;) We have a little rain here..not much though. I have to go out and clean up an area that HPM bush-hogged last night, so we can get 8 CU's of screened topsoil dumped there. Oh, such fun. I need to find my rose pruning gauntlets too; most of what was cut down were briers.” 6:18:14 AM 3/07/08 “Or you could do it backwards and install the bottom sheet first and rest the top sheet on it it while you fasten it down. Whatever you do, don't try 'rocking the ceiling solo. and for the ultimate in ghetto install the sheets vertically or cut them smaller to install and enter into taping and mudding hell. last edited: 3/07/08 6:29:02 AM” 6:26:30 AM 3/07/08 “I got it done, but a slightly different manuever. I shimmed the left side, then the right, back and forth, until it was pressed tight against the ceiling and screwed it in. Now I'm stuck until help arrives for the remainder of the overhead. Guess I can start tearing out the vinyl floor. Yesterday I threw out most of a small pork roast, maybe a pound in weight. Later I saw a Raven get his beak around the narrow part of it and attempt to fly away. Surprisingly, he did it. Last night I tossed out a loaf of date bread, probably a little heavier than the roast. A black squirrel pushed and dragged it away this morning, over to a line of huge spruce. I don't know if he managed to get it up the tree, but watching him move it was pretty cool.” 6:31:26 AM 3/07/08 “Technique be damned, it's gotta get done somehow. lol” 6:33:31 AM 3/07/08 “Well Sass, at least its not a Tuesday or Thursday. :) Poverty training today at school, the third time I've heard it. And I'm not even permanent staff here. Can't wait to go home and go back to bed.” 9:11:01 AM 3/07/08 “good morning. is anyone awake?” 9:47:45 PM 3/07/08 “NO!!!!!!” 9:54:48 PM 3/07/08 “not me!!!” 10:26:37 PM 3/07/08 “slackers” 10:29:25 PM 3/07/08 “I had to see who was posting here at one in the morning.... MAPLE! I shoulda known!” 5:16:32 AM 3/08/08 “Good morning! My last Saturday working at the Doctor's office. =D Frome now on it's only one Saturday a month, whooooooo-hooooo! Birch is gone for the weekend, so it's just us girls. After work we're going to have some fun. Enjoy your Saturday everyone.” 5:21:05 AM 3/08/08 “You're taking Abby bar hoppin'?” 5:33:33 AM 3/08/08 “good morning ya'lls happy 30th birthday Biner!!!” 6:03:56 AM 3/08/08 “Mornin. Cold & snowy here in Nashville. We have about 4 inches in our neighborhood. The roads are all iced over. It's a good mornin to clean.” 6:40:12 AM 3/08/08 “28 deg and snowing in Townsend. Chili is headed west, then back east. It snowed several inches in the Nashville area..hopefully he will make it home before dark.” 7:22:06 AM 3/08/08 “wow, it's 40 degrees and raining here in York, PA. Lot of family over to see the baby. It's pretty awesome, we got 4 generations in our house right now with lyra's parents and grand parents.” 8:22:20 AM 3/08/08 NGB “Nashville interstates are clear. Cumberland Plateau will be a bit slow I imagine.” 9:03:35 AM 3/08/08 “Thats good to know currahee..Thanks!” 9:09:02 AM 3/08/08 “It looks like from what I can tell the main roads on the cumberland plateau are ok. I'm on my way to Chattanooga today.” 9:09:34 AM 3/08/08 “good Morning from sunny Lower Alabama!!!! ...spent the day yesterday shopping...woooohoooo...lol..@ Lowes......stopped by Walmart gor groceries, then home to get started on the lattice work on our patio...boy lattice is a B&^$%#% to work with....we got these "special" boards that are grooved to hold the lattice....well...we said alot of "special" words.....today we will try using a grinder to narrow the edges so they will fit better...we have one side done & it looks GREAT!!!!!...when we are sure of no more frosts, we will have beautiful purple & pink morning glories blooming all over them!!!! ...we also are almost ready to put electricity to it....we bought a ceiling fan..and outlet boxes....wooo hoooo!!!...boy is the wiring expensive!!!! ...anyways...supposed to be a sunny beautiful day today....we should get the other side finished today......and this week start the flower beds!!!!! ...I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!!” 5:37:54 AM 3/09/08 “Sounds nice Divinity. Wire is expensive. Save those scraps to recycle, they're worth money! Morning. Anyone else notice that No one turned the clock forward on this site? I wonder how long it would take anyone to notice if it went down these days? Oh well. Abby and I didn't see a single bar yesterday, NImblefoot. Just a whole bunch of art. She was quite perplexed by the modern art and just kept on saying over and over, "Why do they call this art?!" Not much doing today. Church, or maybe not, and clean house, do laundry, make dinner before Birch comes home. But, immediately, I think I'll make myself a couple cups of coffee.” 5:50:43 AM 3/09/08 “Anyone else notice that No one turned the clock forward on this site? I have sent them a different email twice & they haven't changed it....I don't think they are watching us!!!” 5:53:34 AM 3/09/08 “ Daylight Savings Time Sucks The Big One. ” 6:19:14 AM 3/09/08 I Ain't Dead Yet... “Seriously folks, its about 35 here. Last week was weird; on day it was snowing in the morning and 24, we got about three inches on the ground and Debs and I rode around in it...really cool. But then in the afternoon it cleared off, dried up and got about 53 degrees outside. Go figure. Now its just a bit cool but really nice out. Looks like I'm off to the mountains again this week for a couple nights on the OT. Can't help it, I need to get away from all this for some R&R...... This is Lent so some prayer and fasting will be the schedule up there....L8RZ........” 6:22:35 AM 3/09/08 “Sassy, if you come to my church I'll let you recite poetry during the worship service.....you can call it "art".... :)” 6:26:26 AM 3/09/08 “It's a chilly and sunny day here in central Virginia. Off to do a short hike this morning, then spinning at the Y this afternoon. Or maybe I will just go for a real bike ride instead. Gonna make a list of my backpacking gear today, including weights, for an upcoming 6 day hike. I plan to post it here to see if you guys have any recommendations for reducing pack weight.” 6:26:26 AM 3/09/08 “.I don't think they are watching us!!!” divinity 6:53:34 AM 3/09/08 You could dance naked on the table.” 6:27:52 AM 3/09/08 “Sometimes TT feels like some twisted episode of Lost.” 6:29:26 AM 3/09/08 “Creek, just leave half your gear in the car....which half is up to you.....” 6:29:50 AM 3/09/08 “LOL @ chappy. There are times I wish I had done exactly that.” 6:31:16 AM 3/09/08 “Creek, about half the crap I pack I don't use, it seems........I've shaved pounds off my pack during my 'dust off' the days before my trips when I pack and unpack a billion times.” 6:36:45 AM 3/09/08 “I hear ya chappy. I've got my basic pack weight (pack, tent, pad, bag) down to 8.5 pounds. It's the other stuff I have to try to scale down. Last year for a winter trip I was at 33 pounds with water and four days of food. This next trip is 6 days with no resupply, so I really need to cut back some weight and bulk somewhere to accomodate the extra food.” 6:55:25 AM 3/09/08 “Morning all...Coffee's just not doing it for me this morning. Guess I made it too strong and too rich...bleah. It's just now topped 32 degrees out, but it's warming quickly. Got lots to do around the yard and house today.” 6:55:47 AM 3/09/08 “I hear ya Creek, my pack weight is around 35 for a week. Off to church. later all.......” 7:06:19 AM 3/09/08 “I'm up and coffee'd. Should be a high of about 22 today, but it climbs to the upper 30's and low 40's for about 5 days. There is a rumor about that spring may eventually show its face. Read a book about raising chickens yesterday...maybe. I need to get my damn truck back from the body shop. They've only had it for 2 plus months. The new floor could be installed if I could pick up the flooring. Today I'm going for a nice walk in the woods; need to start working off the winter accumulation of fat. Anyone know of a source of good, cheap ceramic tile? Kitchen and bath.” 7:12:33 AM 3/09/08 Jump to Page << prev
