Chicago has soooo much great stuff to do!” 12:05:15 PM 4/18/10 “HPM just got in to Chicago. It's going to be in the 30's here tonight; nearly the same temperature as up there. Yikes. Laurel's already popped out of bed a few times to say she misses her Daddy. :( I bet before this is over she's going to try and sleep in my bed. Ugh. She kicks in her sleep.” 6:50:23 PM 4/18/10 “Got to sleep somewhere around midnight; stupid cat kept me up. Woke up at 4 am; bad dreams AND a stupid cat sneezed in my face. Bleah. It's going to be a long, hard-to-keep moving day. Smokey the cat decided that since one of his humans is missing that he can sprawl across the middle of the bed and lean against all of the pillows at once. It took some work to dissuade him of this notion.” 2:03:24 AM 4/19/10 “I'm starting to get a little #&%!$ING crabby about this damn volcano. Travel needs to resume NOW!” 4:57:33 AM 4/19/10 “Depending on the country some have opened their airports, others have extended the airport closure for another 12 to 24 hrs. It is a pretty big chaos.” 5:04:33 AM 4/19/10 “sass - I hope that means what I think it means.” 6:12:51 AM 4/19/10 “WOW...you know it was nice to finally sleep in my own darn bed for once. Well good to see that nothing has changed around here. (LOL) You guys really really need to get out and enjoy life.” 6:54:53 AM 4/19/10 “who says we don't?” 7:18:03 AM 4/19/10 “LOL,LOL and LOL.” 7:20:59 AM 4/19/10 “Good Morning! yesterday was nice. my hiking buddy called and said he couldn't hike, but i figured out a way to put a few gallons in the truck and went fishing instead. i wanted BrianSean to go but he didn't; decided not to let it stop me. didn't catch a thing, but it was peaceful. it's going to be another pretty day. i have another appt, i'll try not to fall asleep, daydream, or stare out the window during the classes, LOL!” 9:19:17 AM 4/19/10 What up? “Looks like another beautiful summer day here in central OH. What are you all up to today?” 5:41:29 AM 4/20/10 “Waging war in the garden again today. Grrr. Timing is everything, and I haven't got it right yet. I borrowed a book from the library called "A Gentle Plea for Chaos," by Mirabel Osler. I absolutely LOVE the way this woman writes, and really want my own copy of this book. I highly recommend it to anyone who gardens, or works in their yard a lot.” 5:43:54 AM 4/20/10 “Monday for me - I get to go in a little late though.” 6:01:11 AM 4/20/10 “I'm trying to get in to see my doctor this morning. Stupid automated triage system makes it about impossible. Grrr. I want my antibiotics, dangit.” 5:38:07 AM 4/21/10 “Take two shots of Scotch and call me in the morning.” 8:42:01 AM 4/21/10 “Blustry seas, lots a wind, a little rain. But it will be fine when I hit the trail on Friday.” 8:55:36 AM 4/21/10 “Get your a$$es up! I have good news to share!!” 12:07:39 AM 4/23/10 “Morning everyone! I'm in a rather good mood, despite no sleep! Get up and enjoy your Friday! Congrats on Birch's return to U.S. soil, Sass! Did he bring back any souvenirs?” 3:24:36 AM 4/23/10 “he has sent back items through the year. so far the most awful embroidered and sequined bathrobe, a stone tea set, and a bear for abby from every base and country hes visited. we both got turkish leather jackets. he has a chunk of marble from the sinjar mtns. that's all i know about.” 4:42:19 AM 4/23/10 “Gah, 473 pages to this thread... Well, thanks to a terrific monday morning, my crap tolerance is at 0 for the rest of the day. Ugh. I think I'll just stick with the nice, boring stuff today and stay away from other people.” 4:39:01 AM 4/26/10 “The flowers that suddenly exploded into bloom out in the yard made me feel much better. I love cornflowers and roses. The lonicera trees (don't know the species) in full bloom, and have perfumed the whole neighborhood. Lovely!” 5:32:19 AM 4/26/10 “What's up treebait? Why so low recently?” 5:39:35 AM 4/26/10 “Oh, just a bunch of things snowballing together.” 5:54:30 AM 4/26/10 “I'm gonna be hopeful for the week. Where's my coffee?” 6:04:27 AM 4/26/10 “I know treebait, trouble never seems to comes one at a time.” 7:07:08 AM 4/26/10 “Well, we got Reece off for his first big trip away from home. About 30 kids from his 4th grade class are headed to Space Camp for a week. We'll pick him up in Huntsville on Friday.” 7:07:09 AM 4/26/10 “It is a beautiful day in Jackson, MS, but things are pretty ugly about 40 miles north. The death toll is 10 so far and the damage is massive.” 8:53:40 AM 4/26/10 “chili - I read where the wind speeds were estimated at 160 mph. Consider that the design wind speed for buildings in Miami is 150 mph. that was a nasty, nasty tornado. We spent most of Sat watching coverage. It all tended to stay on that same line. I think the same line of towns got hit about 5x on Sat.” 9:01:57 AM 4/26/10 “They now say that Yazoo City got hit with 175 mile winds in a 1.75 mile wide track. The video and photos coming out of there just make me cringe.” 2:33:47 PM 4/26/10 “That tornado was something. My goodness. I am 98% done with my thesis - so life is GOOD!!! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Ahh!! Now its time to a) become a better teacher with all my extra time and b) play more - enjoy the outdoors, enjoy my family, and enjoy my health. Not so long ago I wasn't able to enjoy life, and I'm ready to now. Happy Monday, everyone!” 3:13:50 PM 4/26/10 “That's awesome, Smiley!” 3:21:21 PM 4/26/10 “Dayhiker...i can't believe your son is in 4th grade! tree...i hope it gets better!” 7:00:37 PM 4/26/10 “incredible day, What a Fantastic weekend. Nothing like spending most of Saturday evening under a tarp with 5 other people sharing cigars and coffee. Court today to nail a piece of human debris and try and get his 21 year old tail stuck for 20+ years. LOL His momma called crying to get me to "take it easy"...NO way, in fact the DA and I are considering letting momma get a chance at experiencing it for "criminal influence' or Terroristic threats.” 5:33:00 AM 4/27/10 “Good Morning Trail Talk! Birch survived his 48 hour pass in Seattle....barely. I think his hangover *may* be gone at this point. Just a matter of days now. If it weren't for that damn volcano he'd be home right now and chances are good I'd be sleeping in, lol. Cool here today. Those dang Canadians are sending their artic air this way yet again. 55° for a high. My goal for the day is to muck out my lily pond, cold or not. Wish me luck! (balancing pond muck and a 13 week old is very delicate business)” 5:40:26 AM 4/27/10 “Hi & Hugs to all from the library...my computer got a nasty virus while I was in Ohio....SO....it is dead and I am at the mercy of my cell phone....or the library...sigh.... ...anyways....all is well....Facebook is easier than Trail Talk on my phone...I am sooo looking forward to trail dayz!!!...hope the Dr has good news for me tomorrow so I can go!!! ...hugs...” 2:45:41 PM 4/27/10 “That sucks, Div. I hope it gets taken care of quickly.” 6:37:59 AM 4/29/10 “Thanks tree! it only hurts when i eat! my heart is fine, even if it has been broke a few times... one more day of work...then 3 months off! woo hoo!” 5:30:01 PM 4/29/10 “GOOOOOOOD MORNING!!!! last day alone! Back-up will be home *tomorrow* !! The world will be a much nicer place w/ my man by my side. =D” 5:57:57 AM 4/30/10 “coolness.” 6:41:24 AM 4/30/10 “Evening...just saw "How to Train Your Dragon" in 3D, again. HPM hadn't seen it yet and it's a cool movie. The 3D does give me a headache, though. Then, while I was working outside, HPM and Laurel watched "Avatar" on dvd. Laurel's been begging to see it. I'll catch it some other time. My garden is trying to kill me, ugh!” 3:05:46 PM 5/01/10 “i've been tilling for 2 days. i cleared an acre to give me some lawn behind my house. finally ground the stumps so i'm tilling to throw down some rye grass until fall. need to get the veggies in the ground this weekend also.” 4:47:45 PM 5/01/10 “Leaving 2 acres for a lot in a subdivision has been the best thing to happen as far as time goes. We can now go and do other things instead of taking care of the lawn.” 5:12:41 PM 5/01/10 “Nothing like clearing 3 acres from my back yard. Now BBQ time.” 5:15:47 PM 5/01/10 “it's going to be a hot one today.” 3:56:59 AM 5/02/10 “For the first time in a month we got a couple inches of rain It was coming down in buckets around daybreak” 5:41:05 AM 5/02/10 “We'll get all that rain tomorrow, from the look of things on radar. Today is supposed to be pushing 90, with a slight wind, overcast, and humid as all get-go.” 6:05:54 AM 5/02/10 “a bit more mild today.” 5:56:41 PM 5/03/10 “Holy Cow! It was 89 degrees and about 90 percent humidity in Jackson, MS today. I cringe to think about what is in store for July and August.” 6:18:31 PM 5/03/10 “More of the same, Chili. ;) We only got .24 inches of rain yesterday. Pbthhhpt.” 5:41:07 AM 5/04/10 “Good morning! counting down to trail dayz! woo hoo! nasty rain here yesterday...going to clear up today and our pool is ready enough for me! i had to get in yesterday while we replaced a valve, and it was cold at first but then felt great! may reach 90 today! im making my shopping list for trail dayz...any requests?” 5:54:23 AM 5/04/10 Jump to Page << prev
