Visual inspections. I am seeing bedbugs about every week now. A few years ago I would expect to see them 3 or 4 times a year.” 3:36:32 AM 10/15/10 Seems appropriate 4:58:03 AM 10/15/10 “Ew, CM...They are one really big reason to stay in a tent rather than a hotel room these days.” 6:01:56 AM 10/15/10 “LOL, that's great. I toss the room like a mad man when I check in to a hotel. I do a better inspection then than I do when I am getting paid for it.” 6:03:57 AM 10/15/10 “Its never a good thing when my 18yo calls me before 8am...she is having a career crisis. Not sure she wants to be a civil engineer...maybe go into Criminology or Forensics...or maybe teaching. Take a semester off? uugghh..She is going to see the campus career counselor later today.” 6:10:34 AM 10/15/10 “I am guessing "bartender" didn't come up in the choice of careers.” 6:47:07 AM 10/15/10 “LOL..no it didnt..” 7:35:29 AM 10/15/10 “Morning...hot tea and cinnamon rolls, already consumed. One of us is all ready to go, one is almost there, and one is back in bed after breakfast. Guess which is which. ;) I had a cat (same one as always) sleep on my head last night, so I now have a world class kink in my neck from being pushed over like that. Somewhat sharp pain along the right side of my neck vertebra. Fun. A hot shower sounds like just the thing.” 3:35:36 AM 10/18/10 “I really try to figure out how a cat can sleep on your head without suffocating you?? I mena, if my old cat had slept on my head I would have had more than a kink in my neck. Do you use a snorkel to keep breathing?” 3:51:56 AM 10/18/10 “I have a skunk outside that is so strong that it woke me up too early this morning. That is the last time, I gotta trap that little bugger now and hope I don't get sprayed.” 4:49:08 AM 10/18/10 “YAWN...48 hours of work what a fun weekend.” 4:58:37 AM 10/18/10 “Euro, she snuggles in between the top of my head and the headboard of the bed, which compresses my neck, then she moves around to one side and pushes my head over so I sleep with my head on one shoulder.” 5:52:01 AM 10/18/10 “Kinky little critter you have there. :-) I wish I had a kitty that would snuggle with me. Not on my head though.” 6:06:49 AM 10/18/10 “Was up until past midnight, alarm went off at 5 am. Sucks. I have to run back to Laurel's school in a little while, too, because I forgot to take in a damned classroom plant. Ugh. I got them a nice colorful non-serrated bromeliad, so if someone brushes up against it the plant will not saw them open and draw blood, which is what all my plants seem to do.” 4:23:15 AM 10/19/10 “We are going out with a guide for a half day trout fishing on the Little Red River I went fishing with my boss for a couple hours yesterday and it was slow. He caught one to my none” 3:55:47 AM 10/20/10 “3 days and I'll be on the trail again!!! '32oz” 4:42:36 AM 10/20/10 “On the trail again... Just can't wait to get on the trail again...” 9:27:22 AM 10/20/10 “Flew back into town around 10 last night. Got most of a decent nights sleep. Couldn't TT for breakfast cuz the connection was down. Went to work to teach eager young minds about mitigating reactor core damage. Glad to be back home from vacation. I'm partied out!” 12:09:04 PM 10/20/10 “Started off the morning talking to a "civic group" about fire loss....spent the rest of the morning and afternoon in Court....” 1:01:50 PM 10/20/10 “Good morning. *yawns...rubs eyes* Got a Switchfoot song in my head: Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain, We're awakening Here we are now with our desperate youth and the pain, We're awakening Maybe it's called ambition, you've been talking in your sleep About a dream, we're awakening” 6:30:58 AM 10/21/10 “Can I go back to bed now? Ugh. All the light from the full moon kept me awake. Curtains only helped so much. That, and a cat who thinks he's a werewolf or something. Sitting on the steps, yowling down the stairwell.” 4:16:32 AM 10/22/10 “AH, it's drama Friday... My friends, the drama magnets, are out of the country right now. Their brand new irrigation system ($3500) just exploded, and the water id gushing nonstop down their neighbors driveway, causing erosion problems as it goes. Can I get in contact with them? No. Can I find the irrigation co. info.? No. IS the person taking care of their zoo this time answering her phone? No! Can I open the water main box to shut it off? Oh, hells no! I can either let it go, and waste money and water, or call the water co. to come open the damned main access up and shut it off. Decisions, decisions...” 5:37:05 AM 10/22/10 “set fire to their yard so that it will "boil off" the excess water? (LOL)” 6:34:42 AM 10/22/10 “Got a great night's sleep. Now I'm day dreaming about my trip to Death Valley this weekend.” 7:00:03 AM 10/22/10 “We called CMUD (char-meck utilities dept.) for them to turn off the water at the curb. Nothing else we can do since we can't get in contact with the neighbors. Yeah, I love the abbreviation for our utilities. See-mud. How appropriate.” 7:14:04 AM 10/22/10 “Dangit! HPM logged me out of treebeast last night!” 7:29:37 AM 10/22/10 “If the water is cut off, did anyone cut off the hot water heater?” 9:57:22 AM 10/22/10 “the hot water heater will be fine if no one is home. the tank "SHOULD BE" full. i guess that's a big should be, but hey whattayagonna do?” 10:49:17 AM 10/22/10 “The water is back on to the house; the water line for the irrigation, located elsewhere away from everything, is now shut off. :P Talked to the irrigation guy. He said this job must be cursed, he's never had this many problems with what should be a straight forward fix. I said the whole house is cursed, since the previous owners. I think the house needs an exorcism, or whatever the Mormon equivalent is.” 12:04:29 PM 10/22/10 “I hate school science projects. They've given third graders project requirements that I wasn't given until 8th or 9th grade. Sheesh. I'm trying to arrange stuff on the boards for Laurel, without actually doing the work. That's tough. She's required to use terminology and data that I didn't acquire until college botany and zoology, not to mention ecological requirements. Yikes. I am, however, very glad she chose a topic that we're interested in: American crows and their environments. Now, where's the glue...” 1:23:18 PM 10/24/10 “PLEASE can I go back to bed now...I don't know what goes on around here at 2:30 Monday mornings, but there's always a parade of noisy cars going by. This morning I counted 9, 2 of them sounded like they were missing exhaust systems. On the flip side, at least we're supposed to get some rain this morning.” 6:38:44 AM 10/25/10 “No fuego thread posts all weekend? What happened while I was hiking?” 6:51:48 AM 10/25/10 “Back from the Smokies. Looking forward to a really sucky week. I'd rather still be in the tent. We had 9 bear sightings this time, but only 5 bears. The most recurring was the big cinnamon one above our campsite, and one of her damned cubs. Not too happy about that detail. But it all worked out, and she kept her distance. The thing is that she showed up every dang day, late in the afternoon, when we were starting to cook dinner. Joy. The bear jams out on the main road were brutal. HPM had a few choice words for one particularly stupid dumba$$. :) I had to run into town Saturday night (gasp!) and got to see more than the usual freak show that is Gatlinburg. This time most of them were in costumes for Halloween! That was cool! Traffic was way, way down too. Both inside and outside the park. Except for yesterday, when we were trying to get home. Then, traffic was really heavy and slow almost the whole way back. Oh yeah, don't try Oscar Mayer's black angus, nitrate and nitrite free hot dogs. They're gross.” 5:06:06 AM 11/01/10 “What a waste of angus beef. Glad you had a good trip.” 5:12:11 AM 11/01/10 “It was beautiful out there.” 5:14:59 AM 11/01/10 “raining and 64 deg in Jackson today...Wish I was at home in my jammies...” 8:06:00 AM 11/02/10 “29° this morning. Winter has arrived (finally)! Woodstove has been cranking out the heat all day. I'm kinda missing you guys.” 2:24:06 PM 11/02/10 “Howdy!!!...(I'm at the library) How is everyone...and what have I missed???? I sure miss ya'll!!!” 1:13:22 PM 11/03/10 “For those who do not have Facebook...My daughter Sarah that lives in Hartselle had a baby boy "Cooper" Friday!!!..momma and baby are doing fine... it was one of the most exciting, wonderful weekends of my life...he was 6lbs 11 oz and 18" he was 2 weeks early...he is awesome...” 1:22:34 PM 11/03/10 “congrats!!!!!!! '32oz” 1:34:13 PM 11/03/10 “That's awesome, Div! No ideas on why I couldn't access TT for 24 hours. I kept getting a server time out message. Whatever.” 3:10:41 PM 11/03/10 “He's a beautiful baby Divinity! What a great thing that you could be there. You all have a great Thursday!” 4:01:43 AM 11/04/10 “slackers” 1:25:43 AM 11/05/10 “THbbbpt. That's for you, Baume. ;) Apparently having a bad cold is not enough for getting out of chaperon duty for a school trip. Scrapple. Looks like I'll be on cold meds for the entire trip. That'll be fun.” 3:28:06 AM 11/05/10 “I'm on facebook, but I always lose the link to TT. We've had the warmest weather of the whole year the last few days. Yesterday I was running on the beach before sunset watching girls in bikinis playing volleyball. Had big surf that rolled in from a storm in Alaska. Today is my birthday. I'm going backpacking!” 6:13:30 AM 11/05/10 “happy birthday Toejam! send some pics of the bikini girls, would ya!” 7:36:20 AM 11/05/10 “We had a nice frost in Jackson, MS this morning. God, I had forgot what ice on the ground looked like.” 6:21:20 AM 11/06/10 “i'm getting a doggie! ErinAnne has him right now, he'll be with us after our Christmas vacation in SC with Christopher, Ashley, and my grandchildren. please pray that our landlord is accepting of this, we just found out that he is over 15lbs now. he is potty trained and doesn't bark, the two things that would be a problem in an apartment.” 11:56:16 AM 11/06/10 “I want a doggie too.” 12:06:43 PM 11/06/10 “i've been wanting one for a very very long time. this one is a rescue, he was going to be put down if i didn't take him, he only had a day left.” 1:11:03 PM 11/06/10 Jump to Page << prev
