If you haven't seen it, you should check it out sometime. It will be in the mid 70s for the second day here. I spent the entire day workingin the yard and gardens yesterday. I'm pulling double weight since my wife has the knee injury. It's a good thing I love that stuff.” 8:39:19 AM 4/13/03 Oh Well..........I Got A Good Night's Sleep “WOOPS!!! I was supposed to start an hour early and be at work at 5am. Oh well. ;p” 4:35:55 AM 4/14/03 “uh-oh.” 5:06:27 AM 4/14/03 “5 am is kinda early to start drinking beer isnt it. :} morning yall..” 5:28:51 AM 4/14/03 “Saw my parents for the first time since Jan. this weekend. I'm taller than my mother finally! It only took 28+ years.... :) Weather is going to be like spring today, and summer tomorrow. I won't discuss what the rest of the week will be like. :(” 7:26:38 AM 4/14/03 “Smileygirl - did you experience a late growth spirt, or did your mum shrink? :-) My brother and I both tower over our pa. Tall genes run on the mum's side.” 7:53:58 AM 4/14/03 “My mum shrunk. :)” 8:08:36 AM 4/14/03 DOM “Is 8:00AM okay? :}” 8:11:27 AM 4/14/03 “You shouldn't have run her through the dryer!” 8:12:27 AM 4/14/03 “It's monday, and i just got up, because I don't have to be in school til 10!” 8:16:04 AM 4/14/03 Buddur, DOM & Stumpy: “The sun rises over the yardarm at approximately 10:23 AM at this latitude. 'Cornflakes in a can'?” 8:26:03 AM 4/14/03 “Yesterday was 84 degrees, today 39. Crazy April weather, but those two days of 80's started hatching black flies and the black fly season has started, but isn't really bad yet. They are out, just not aggressive at this point.” 6:35:21 AM 4/17/03 “The mosquitoes haven't really 'awakened' down this way, yet. (I probably shouldn't have said that... <G>)” 6:48:12 AM 4/17/03 “No mosquitoes here yet. They usually come out after the black flies do around here.” 6:57:37 AM 4/17/03 “Speaking of mosquitoes and warmer weather... I guess reports of West Nile should be picking up again soon.” 7:22:01 AM 4/17/03 “We had the same thing, Richb. 36 and raining here right now. I'm flying to Boston today after work! Yippee!” 7:25:30 AM 4/17/03 “Morning all. I'm sore from yesterday's trip. Not backpacking in two months will do that to you. Nice weather today. My only real plans are to get some fresh grouper from the market. Goooood stuff.” 7:13:21 AM 4/18/03 “I just read about your trip. Sounded like a nice hike, but the picture page wouldn't work so I'll try again later.” 7:15:53 AM 4/18/03 “Good morning everyone! I'm in a good mood despite the development of a bad cold. It's heading for the lungs now. It gave HPM a lingering cough 2 weeks later and my Mom very tough bronchitis. Joy. It also knocked down my Dad and all of his employees at work. Yikes. The worst thing it's given me so far is a sore neck. Off to get the medicines!” 7:23:45 AM 4/18/03 “mornin yall, rise n shine....sorry about the lack of eggs this morning but the rabbit stew last night was great. :D” 4:48:29 AM 4/20/03 “Well, you know why the Easter Bunny hides his eggs...” 7:36:01 AM 4/20/03 “Good morning! Beautiful Easter Sunday today with bright sunshine and warm.” 7:39:07 AM 4/20/03 “Get up, come on - get down with the sickness” 7:06:10 PM 4/20/03 7:53:47 PM 4/20/03 “not quite” 7:58:48 PM 4/20/03 Moody Blues for those monday blues.... “Watching and waiting For a friend to play with. Why have I been alone so long? Mole he is burrowing His way to the sunlight, He knows there's someone there so strong. Soon you will see me 'Cos I'll be all around you But where I come from I can't tell. Don't be alarmed By my fields and my forests They're here for only you to share. 'Cos here there's lots of room for doing The things you've always been denied. So look and gather all you want to, There's no one here to stop you trying. Gnight all....” 5:00:49 AM 4/21/03 “Well it has finally come, Today I get to file to end child support :} and a small tune to celebrate with... Where do we go from here now that all other children are growin' up And how do we spend our lives if there's noone to lend us a hand I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away Games people play, You take it or you leave it Things that they say, Honor Brite If I promise you the Moon and the Stars, Would you believe it Games people play in the middle of the night Where do we go from here now that all of the children have grown up And how do we spend our lives knowin' nobody gives us a damn I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away Games people play, You take it or you leave it Things that they say, Just don't make it right If I'm telling you the truth right now, Do you believe it Games people play in the middle of the night Games people play, You take it or you leave it Things that they say, Honor Brite If I promise you the Moon and the Stars, Would you believe it Games people play in the middle of the night Games people play, You take it or you leave it Things that they say, Just don't make it right If I'm telling you the truth right now, Do you believe it Games people play in the middle of the night” 2:28:16 AM 4/23/03 Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn! “Right behind ya, dood.” 4:23:19 AM 4/23/03 “ahhh, I overslept this morning. Took some sinus nighttime medicine. Not good if you have to get up early. Things I had to listen to this morning: Mom, when I fart I get a wet spot in my underwear... (darn, go change!!!) Mom, I look more handsome in the sun when my eyes are green. (boy, only 9 years old and already full of it) oh boy, this will be a great and strange day!” 6:43:30 AM 4/23/03 “morning!! I hate rain!!!” 6:23:52 AM 4/25/03 “Good morning! We need rain around here since it has been dry and the creeks have gone down. Tonight and tomorrow around an inch is supposed to fall. I hope we get that or more.” 6:36:49 AM 4/25/03 “We were supposed to have thunderstorms this mosning. No luck, just more sun. 15 straight days of it!” 8:05:30 AM 4/25/03 “Same here treebait (which shouldn't be terribly surprising since you're only about 3 hours away). However, i just looked at the radar on accuweather.. there are some pretty sinister looking storms out in the northern gulf and the panhandle. Looks like if they keep on the track they're going, you'll get some good thunderstorms. Looks like Tampa might get missed, but as the day heats up, hopefully some will pop up down here. I love thunderstorms!” 8:10:06 AM 4/25/03 “I always loved the storms down there Arty. Tampa is smack in the middle of the biggest lightening belt in the country. I remember seeing a show that followed this photographer around. He shot lightening storms. His pics were incredible. I wish I could remember his name. I'd like to do a search for some of his stuff on the internet.” 8:13:31 AM 4/25/03 “Yeah, they are cool. Actually, Tampa gets more lightning strikes than any place else on earth. At least the cool thing is, the thunderstorms hit like clockwork in the summer (3 pm), so you can still plan your day with relative ease.” 8:15:23 AM 4/25/03 “Gee, Artex, you might have a future as a westhercaster. You sound better than the guy we have. Once he was describing the weather off the radar and said, "there's a huge, green blob moving in from the west towards Billings." It sounded like a Japanese science fiction movie!” 8:15:53 AM 4/25/03 “LOL @ aero!! Gee, I'm sure that guy installs a looooooot of confidence in his viewers. ;-)” 8:17:31 AM 4/25/03 “lol@ Aero Artex, I remember in my radio daze in Tampa. Half the year we left the same piece of paper on top of the control board with the forecast on it because it never changed. The paper just got rattier and rattier. I even remember it. Hazy Hot Humid High in mid 90's0-90% chance of t-storms in late afternoon (around 3) wind 5 mph” 8:18:42 AM 4/25/03 “that's 80- 90 % chance...” 8:19:26 AM 4/25/03 “a "huge green blob," LOL!! that's pretty good. how do half the people on the news get their jobs? the best weathercast i've ever seen was when the guy was drunk, and slurring his words and pointing to all the wrong things! who knew the weather could be so funny?” 8:20:30 AM 4/25/03 “Drunk, eh? That'd be funny if he accidently stepped out of the closet and said "it'll be raining men this afternoon".” 8:22:39 AM 4/25/03 “It could have been an escaped cloud of Flubber. I should cut him some slack!” 8:23:11 AM 4/25/03 “now, that would be a dream come true, Artex!” 8:25:02 AM 4/25/03 “I assume you mean that for the laugh factor, since I don't see how you could possibly benefit, lyra!” 8:26:04 AM 4/25/03 “She really, really likes flubber. For real!” 8:40:28 AM 4/25/03 “what the F is flubber? LOL! now, who on earth wouldn't be amused to death by that, Artex? :-D” 8:43:04 AM 4/25/03 8:45:10 AM 4/25/03 “oohhh, right, right, right!” 8:45:59 AM 4/25/03 “It's funny how everybody remembers Fred MacMurray as the dad on "My Three Sons" and the Professor in the above movie. Always playing a nice guy. Watch "The Caine Mutiny" sometime. He plays a real prick in that one, and he's good at it, too. Always loved the last scene where Jose Ferrer reads him the riot act.” 8:49:36 AM 4/25/03 “He was in 'Double Indemnity' too. Played an insurance salesman who teamed up with another dude's wife to kill him for the DI policy clause...” 8:52:18 AM 4/25/03 Jump to Page << prev
