WOW, those in-line winds were awesome last night! I'm surprised we didn't lose any trees out back. They really looked like they were going to go, especially two of the big tulip poplars. I'm glad nothing had leafed out yet.” 8:48:30 AM 3/24/11 “it's 36 and cloudy here. yesterday was in the high 50s and sunny.” 12:11:01 PM 3/24/11 “sunny and 72 here...hello spring...” 12:41:17 PM 3/24/11 “Ugh too tired this morning. Up since 4 and it sucks.” 3:04:58 AM 3/25/11 “Lol...4 is sleeping in for me :) have a great day!” 3:38:26 AM 3/25/11 “Glad someone's the optimist, Div! You have a great day too!” 5:52:34 AM 3/25/11 “Argh! Stupid water pump is either clogged or died on our lg washer! I did a little research online and diy repairs are considered easy. By whose standars, I wonder.” 10:21:35 AM 3/25/11 “Argh! Stupid water pump is either clogged or died on our lg washer! I did a little research online and diy repairs are considered easy. By whose standars, I wonder.” 10:21:35 AM 3/25/11 “Good Monday morning! ...Hope ya all have a great one!” 3:14:48 AM 3/28/11 “Morning Div... I stayed up late watching the end of he Swamp People marathon, then couldn't get to sleep because of a cat pestering me for another few hours. It's 36 and raining here. I think I prefer last week's low 80's to this, but we need the rain. The outlaws are up all this week (Duval Fl. spring break) and it's not supposed to get back up to average temps until the day they leave.” 4:26:01 AM 3/28/11 “treebait, i think you need to change your user name to eeyor. ;)” 6:08:19 AM 3/28/11 “Sorry, that name's already taken. ;P I like this weather (yay rain!) I just wish the temps were a little warmer. I got used to the warm weather we had. I can handle the outlaws this week; the weather makes them very unlikely to go out and do things. One thing I am very much looking forward to this week is the Banff Mtn. film festival on Wednesday, rain or shine. And since it's looking cold and rainy for Wednesday night (it's shown outdoors) I'll be movie watching in all of my raingear. :) Laurel's very excited about it oo, bu I may have to get her a new pair of rain pants; hers are already well above the ankles again. We bought them last year.” 6:53:17 AM 3/28/11 “Yay, coffee! WE had really heavy freezing fog a while ago. Now that the sun's coming up it's lifting quickly. Everything has a shiny ice glaze, making everything pretty! Except maybe for the neighbor's piled-high garbage can. That's not pretty.” 4:57:05 AM 3/29/11 “Coffee not helping...We have a nice rain/ light thunderstorm going right now, and it's making me drowsy. Everything smells wonderful outside too. The air is nice and clean. Morning everyone!” 4:31:40 AM 3/30/11 “Morning tree...going to be a nice sunny day here with a high of 70...too bad I'm stuck at work today! Hope everyone has a great day!” 3:44:48 AM 3/31/11 hey treebait “hey treebait what part of NC you in ? I;m in Boone,NC” 4:03:41 AM 3/31/11 “Hey Jb, gonna catch the Banff film fest? It's in your town for the next 3 nights. We're in Huntersville, just north of Charlotte. We caught the Banff film fest last night! Laurel got to stay up late for it. We got home around 10:40 last night. She's decided that the nutjob who went over a 182 ft. waterfall in Washington state is "totally insane!" and not in a good way. I think I fell in love with the Payette river, too. That was beautiful.” 5:50:17 AM 3/31/11 “April fools! over a foot of snow, and $5k damage to my truck. %$#@#$!!!” 2:27:06 PM 4/01/11 “Oh no Twig!! I'm sorry. =(” 8:31:40 PM 4/01/11 “Twig...sorry to hear bout your Apil Fool incident... :-( Hope you are ok. Off to help my son and his gf move today. I'm excited they are going to be a mile from us now. Party at THEIR house!!! Whooot Whooo!!” 5:13:17 AM 4/02/11 “HPM finally got around to fixing the washing machine this morning, in the buff! ;) Turns out there was a quarter in the drain pump. How it got through 2 sets of guards and a filter I don't know, but now it's right as rain, and I can get going on over a week's worth of laundry lying around and smelling up the place.” 8:23:19 AM 4/02/11 “my truck looks like its frowning...” 12:39:55 PM 4/02/11 “lol, was that "good nakid" or "bad nakid"? Twigeater, your truck prolly is frowning!” 4:00:51 PM 4/02/11 “treebait - Am I to understand that HPM is providing you wth a pay laundry machine to use in your home? last edited: 4/02/11 4:20:07 PM” 4:13:12 PM 4/02/11 “D = M” 4:15:05 PM 4/02/11 “Thanks.” 4:21:10 PM 4/02/11 “It was the good kind, Sass. ;D Slim, we've one of those fancy LG front loading computer everything washers, and all it took to shut it down was a quarter. The washer my mom had when I was growing up spit out change into the utility sink on a regular basis without a burp.” 7:23:02 PM 4/02/11 “Go w/ Kenmore. I regularly find wire nuts, pencils, coins, bolts, and even rocks in the seal. You'd think I'd learn to check the pockets by now. That machine takes a lot of abuse at our house and it never complains. I'm officially excited for spring. Have been puting it off until MIchigan is done dicking around w/ winter. I think we're finally there. Garden should be going in this weekend.” 6:09:55 AM 4/04/11 “geez, I started the truck this am, what a racket! Backed out of the dooryard with much creaking, drove back in and parked it...yeah, it's driveable all right (my son knows as much about vehicles as he knows about driving) So...1-800 cash for cars will give me $1,500...right! Actually, we'll see, because I know there is more than $5k damage - it goes back to the front passenger door. frack!” 9:30:37 AM 4/04/11 “Yay! Power just can back up! We had a lovely storm roll through starting at 1:40 am. The power went out just as the winds started to pick up, which is unusual. I'm glad we have a gas stove, and Laurel had her breakfast by candlelight. She thought that was cool. She said "awwww!" when the lights came back up. Funny! Now I wonder how the rest of the day will go, since I've been up since then. Happy Tuesday, 'cause it's not Monday anymore!” 3:31:25 AM 4/05/11 “I just checked the overnight data from my weather station; our highest wind speed was 74 mph, minimum hurricane requirements. The airport south of us clocked in at 90 mph. Yikes.” 4:20:08 AM 4/05/11 “While I was waiting to pick up Laurel, I was cloudgazing. We've got a stiff wind so they're ripping on by. I saw one that looked like a Eurasian boar eating a large fish. Tusks and everything. Pretty wild.” 11:05:15 AM 4/05/11 “...a pretty wild imagination!!! another 40 degree morning here!!!...and to think our neice went swimming in the pool Sunday!!!..bet that waters not warm anymore!!! ...a sad day for us TTers...everytime I start to type in my sweeties name to send him pics and stuff, Carlettes name comes up first...I'll try to get through the day without crying...but I doubt if that will happen...it is amazing how we touch each others lives....it's times like these that I see how much TT influences my life...I'm sure my family and friends get sick of me talking about "my backpacker friends"...but ya'll are part of my life...it has been awesome to see ya'll get married...have babies...read trip reports...and talk gear...I love TT and I love ya'll :)” 2:51:02 AM 4/06/11 “Morning, Div! Laurel went swimming in the koi pond on monday when it was 86, yesterday stayed in the mid 50's and some kind of windy. Today should be around 68, so that will be pleasant.” 6:42:45 AM 4/06/11 “We love you too Divinity!” 3:07:05 PM 4/06/11 “Late morning to you! The stars are right, the planets have aligned and I am literally surrounded by road construction. Every single road I have access to is chewed up and down to one lane as they excise sections and repave the crumbling parts. I've never seen intensive area-wide road repair like this around here. On a related note, while I was waiting for my turn to drive past a construction site, a woman 2 cars up had her windows open and was blasting Rebecca Black's "Friday." You are lucky if you haven't heard it. Three or four separate people started shouting "TURN THAT S--T OFF!!!" Sometimes I love living here. :D” 8:18:29 AM 4/07/11 “Yay, it's Friday! No one talk about Rebecca Black, K? Monday I had 1 feral (the queen) and one friendly outdoor cat neutered. The friendly one is finally let me cuddle her again rather than avoid me, but I only now noticed that they docked her ear during surgery. Well, at least it shows she's been "processed." It's supposed to be around 78 here today. Unseasonably warm, and the ground is bone-dry. Guess I'd better irrigate today. Darn. Only 1 week until spring break, yay! That means heading to Florida, boo. Oh well, heading to a wedding and at least 1 trip down the Ichnetucknee river.” 4:21:59 AM 4/08/11 “we are in full swing april shower mode. ready for some sun!!” 5:11:21 AM 4/08/11 “We could use the rain here, that's for sure.” 5:36:45 AM 4/08/11 “suppossed to be 87 here on Saturday...ugh...” 6:21:22 AM 4/08/11 “I'll try to convince it to head your way Treebait.” 7:11:35 AM 4/08/11 “I'll tell the expected high 80's for the weekend to head your way, too. I don't want them.” 8:01:24 AM 4/08/11 “Good morning...a nice Sunday of getting a few things done around the house...went fishing yesterday and only caught a sunburn....maybe ill get out my Hennesy and play with it a bit today! Ya all have a great day!” 5:07:38 AM 4/10/11 “No! I refuse to ahve a great day. ;) I have so mmuch to do but a day hike is calling my name too though I am still tired from yesterday's adventure.” 5:13:35 AM 4/10/11 “Good morning! ...another Monday...and a rainy one at that...high in the 80s and our AC is not working properly! Ugh! Yall have a great day...and behave!” 12:44:13 AM 4/11/11 “Oh buggers....I had such a good day yesterday! Great challenging hike but I am feeling places I didn't even know existed on my body~~~!!! Hope everyone has a good day today...is going to be tough having to sit at a desk all day looking at the sunshine outside~!” 3:26:22 AM 4/11/11 “Rain here...” 3:45:36 AM 4/11/11 “Raining here too. Good for the stuff we planted yesterday. Headed out to the Henry Ford to meet up w/ the Easter Bunny this morning. I'm betting Liberty HATES him. Should be lots of fun, lol.” 4:23:12 AM 4/11/11 “Morning, everyone. It's supposed to be 87 with nasty evening thunderstorms rolling through later tonight. If it's anything like last monday's storms you can keep it. Definitely feeling the lack of sleep this morning. 4 hours is not enough. I think I'll go find something with caffeine in it.” 4:50:54 AM 4/11/11 Jump to Page << prev
