Ugh.” 3:19:56 AM 8/21/08 “Hoowee, I just looked at the rain amounts for Melbourne FL....You okay down there, Paul? 15-25 inches of rain is a bit much, even for a state that's just a giant sand filter.” 3:51:01 AM 8/21/08 “Good morning. It's a beautiful day out today. 49* high of 75* and not a cloud in the sky. Too bad I'm stuck at work for another 12+ hour day.” 4:11:44 AM 8/21/08 “Treebait, I know that feeling. Long ago, I started getting up first and going to bed last just to have some time to myself. Now I spontaneously wake up at 0500. And drink coffee, read the paper online, listen to the radio, post on TT and a cycling forum,” 5:39:53 AM 8/21/08 “...me too..up before anyone else...so peaceful....quiet....I made a list of what I needed to do that day...read....cleaned... ...but most of all...coffee...& quiet....lol....” 5:08:44 PM 8/21/08 “...good morning from Lower Alabama!!!! ...It's FRIDAY...thank GOD...I'm pooped... ...no plans this weekend...Fay will be here by then...bringing lots of rain....so we will be preparing for that...we live on high ground, so no worries about rain...wind is our enemy... ...best wishes to all our Fla folks....I hope all is well with y'all...” 2:51:02 AM 8/22/08 wow! “ Fay, Fay, stay away! Fortunately, it seems to be moving away to become a memory in this location. My trailer did not flood, but some leaks drenched the carpet in my attached, Florida Room. My two daughters, who are here in Florida, want to remove the carpet and paint the concrete slab underneath. I usually wait for sunny days, open the door and turn on one or more fans. This was the worse that I have seen here. last edited: 8/22/08 8:41:04 AM” 8:38:02 AM 8/22/08 “Don't float away NS!” 9:27:34 AM 8/22/08 “It was so nice when I got up this morning I just had to ride my bike in. Glad I had clothes stashed.” 9:35:23 AM 8/22/08 “Good morning, I'm leaving to go fly fishing soon. Looks like a nice day and I hope I catch as many as I did last Saturday. I spent last night tying some new flies.” 5:29:18 AM 8/23/08 Hugs. “The sun is shining in Melbourne.” 6:44:08 AM 8/23/08 “Fishing and sunshine. I'll use fishing as an excuse to hike, and love the warm sunshine on a cool morning. I've got the sunshine, but I think I'll go on a bike ride instead.” 7:51:11 AM 8/23/08 “...Howdy!!!! ...Fay didn't cause any trouble for us until last eve...been raining off & on all day....but I think it may be over... ...hugs to all....” 1:39:12 PM 8/25/08 “Hi everyone, I officially started my teaching job today, though I've been in the last two weeks trying to get things organized. Today started our professional development stuff. Open house is tomorrow night. I'm going to like it there. :) Evie is SO close to walking - she can string three steps together once in a while. Tonight she got up to standing from the floor without holding on to anything. She's so darned cute! HOpe you all are well, especially RichB and Mata....” 4:11:48 PM 8/25/08 “...good morning hugs!!!! ...another day here.... ..Smiley..have a GREAT day!!!! ...hugs to Mata & RichB...” 2:53:06 AM 8/26/08 “Don' wanna get up...Hell, I already took Laurel and the neighbor kid to school this morning. Her first class starts at 7:30. Bleah. It's overcast and drizzly here, with more severe rains and storms throughout the day. We really need the rain. I did have to open a drain valve on the pond for a while yesterday afternoon; It gained over 3 inches and was starting to overflow.” 4:33:26 AM 8/26/08 “Good morning, SG, I hope all goes well with the teaching job. The teachers here went on strike for more money and better benefits so it looks like the school won't be starting next Tuesday. I went fishing last Saturday, but the stream was too low for the good fishing I had the week before. We need lots of rain to get it back up to a decent level. Only 6 days left until I'll be finished with these infusions. I just hope it worked. I might go for a bike ride this evening since it looks like a nice day out.” 4:55:23 AM 8/26/08 “45 and PC here. Just a hint of sunrise right now. Sunny day, high around 70. Sounds like a good day for a ride after work.” 5:26:00 AM 8/26/08 “...I'm here... ...coffee... ...hugs...” 2:32:19 AM 8/27/08 “Morning, again. Been up more or less since 2 am, thanks to storms and a scared little girl, then a cat who had a coughing fit. Thought I'd get up then and surf the net, but no, the gfi circuit breaker blew at some point in the night for this room, plus the guest room and the master toilet. I didn't feel like tottering over to the breaker box at 2 am to fix it. One of the heaviest-used roads for this area, Independence Blvd., is closed down because of flooding across the roadway. I wonder how McDowell creek is, since I have to cross over it a few times to get Laurel to school.” 3:35:58 AM 8/27/08 “Sounds like an exciting day! Dig out the waders. Not much exciting here, but I am a-okay with that. Three appointments this morning, renew city license, one more this evening and maybe get out in the garden in between. Have a good day everyone.” 4:55:00 AM 8/27/08 “There's lots more flooding around here than is listed on the news. We passed large flooded areas on the way back from Laurel's school earlier. I'm impressed, I've never seen large scale flooding in person before.” 4:57:42 AM 8/27/08 “Good morning, I'm pulling up most of my patio garden today. Blossom rot infected the tomato plants and powdery mildew is on the cucumbers. The only thing that did well were parsley and basil plants. I had some snow pea plants out in the back, but a woodchuck bit the tops off and stomped on them and they never really recovered. It looks nice out today and I'll go for a bike ride later.” 5:05:20 AM 8/27/08 Hugs. “Good morning. Boy oh boy, happy days are here again! I can hear GSMNP calling me. I'm going to start looking for all the backpacking gear that needs to go with me. It's time to get ready. Enjoy your day. last edited: 8/27/08 5:18:37 AM” 5:15:29 AM 8/27/08 “Hmmmmm.... I think I'll top off the tank in the Exploder before Gustav hits.” 7:02:54 AM 8/27/08 “  message from cookiemonster being ignored“(before the price of unleaded begins to spike, donchaknow)” 7:30:57 AM 8/27/08 “...wow what is this "cookiemonster being ignored" thingy???...he must be being a bad monster!!!” 1:17:08 PM 8/27/08 “HUH?! not sure what you talk of Cookie. Is it an attack to say you're the same person you were as Sarge? I think it's simply the truth. RICHB, I was reading up on blossom end rot and found out it's a deficiency of calcium in the soil. We had it for the past five years (so frustrating). We started adding rabbit pooh to the garden and haven't lost any fruit this year.” 3:53:31 PM 8/27/08 “i'd be insulted if someone accused me of being s-rge, too” 4:59:22 PM 8/27/08 “Low Blow! LOL” 5:53:38 PM 8/27/08 “In all seriousness, you guys are acting like a bunch of asses.” 6:35:07 PM 8/27/08 “GOOD mORNING HUGS..... ..oops... ...almost friday!!!!!!! ..and preparing for Labor Day weekend..I have to work Monday..oh well... ...preparing for Gustav...makin a list & checking it twice!!!! ...coffee time....yummmm... ...everyone have a GREAT day!!!!” 2:53:35 AM 8/28/08 “ message from cookiemonster being ignored“ Tango Golf India Tango ” 4:37:28 AM 8/28/08 “Tilt, when you stop, I stop. Â  ”4:46:20 AM 8/28/08 “Cookie, you cannot make me lie in any bed I don't want to. You're wasting your energy. Nowslimmer, I'm excited for you. Wish I could get out there for a good two weeks and clear my head. Take in a nice sunrise for me okay? Today I'm taking a neighbor kid and Ab to the science center. We finally got rain last night, thankfully. It's been so dry that we've had all sorts of wildlife coming to my pond to drink at night. The dogs have been going nuts and two nights ago I shined the big flashlight on a rat almost as big (EWWWWW!). Rat traps were purchased and three lay dead this morning. Between the pond and the woodpile we have ideal living conditions, aside from the dogs. I don't care much for them though, even though essentially they're squirrels w/out fuzzy tails and extra disease. I say death to all rats! That may be the theme for the weekend. Have a great Thursday everyone.” 4:59:56 AM 8/28/08 “For anyone's information, Sassafras started this, not me. If you don't like random threads being trashed, like this precious one, tell her to stop.” 5:06:58 AM 8/28/08 “Good morning, Sass, thanks for that information. I didn't know that's what caused the blossom rot on the plants. I pulled them up yesterday. We need rain here too and some might fall today, but it doesn't look like much. Looks like no fishing this weekend with no big rain in sight. I went for a nice bike ride last evening so I'll ride my bike this weekend instead.” 5:08:17 AM 8/28/08 “Raining here in Knoxville. It rained all day Tuesday, on and off Wednesday and overnight. We need the rain and it is definately cooling things off..though still pretty humid. My hair is NOT happy!” 5:10:33 AM 8/28/08 “Wed was the first sunshine we've had since last Friday. Fay camped out over Alabma dropping 5"-10" of rain. It's nothing like what Florida experienced, but we were starting to drift back towards a D3 drought status. The local lake was up a foot. It's about 17000 acres if memory serves.” 5:16:28 AM 8/28/08 “I never knew either Richb. I always thought it was a fungus. I didn't explain it right above; it's the fruit that lacks calcium, not the soil. Here's the link that helped me: http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/3000/3117.html It has solutions.” 5:17:05 AM 8/28/08 “S - your gmail account is bouncing email.” 5:19:29 AM 8/28/08 “me?” 5:23:57 AM 8/28/08 Hugs. “Good morning. It's another beautiful day in Paradise. Hope you enjoy your day.” 5:32:05 AM 8/28/08 “Sass, I read that info about the blossom rot on the tomatoes. That was interesting and now I'm wondering if I watered the plants too much. I guess it could have been a problem with the soil too.” 6:18:01 AM 8/28/08 “Rafting photos: http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/565666033HYtrBu Day 1 was the Olympic section of the Ocoee. Day 2 was the Cheoah. I have been labeled a wimp for "dumptrucking" on the Ocoee. $hit happens.” 8:21:22 AM 8/28/08 “Evening, folks. I'm out of touch lately. I spent the week at school at professional development stuff, and getting my room in order. Its "mostly" ready, and I'll get throught the 1/2 day on Tuesday. Wednesday will be a whole other problem to tackle. Evie is walking!! I don't know what else to say. Her birthday party is this weekend - two parties actually. Family on Saturday and friends on Monday. Our house isn't big enough to do it all at once. I can't believe how big she is. Well, good night. I can't wait to get to sleep.” 6:22:40 PM 8/28/08 “...Good Morning hugs!!!!! ...well...Friday is here...wooo hoooooo!!!!! ...went to the grocery yesterday & everyone is in a frensy...lol...no propane or D batteries left...not that I needed any.....I got tortillas, & a few things that I may want in case it gets rough here....I sure wish I had a battery operated fan tho...lol... ...all the gas stations are so busy....& the price of gas is starting to rise... ...ya'll have a GREAT day!!!!” 2:53:29 AM 8/29/08 Jump to Page << prev
