Thanks to very high temperatures and a heat index that reached 132 yesterday, I'm staying inside today. Except for the 1 pm recital Laurel has this afternoon, with her violin day camp. Turns out Laurel's one of the best sight readers they've found. That's awesome! I could never read music to save my life. I just hope we can keep her interested in doing her violin lessons though.” 6:30:02 AM 7/22/11 “Good morning ...where exactly do you live tree?... not sure I want to live there! ... Hope everyone is keeping as cool as they can!!!” 6:49:56 AM 7/22/11 “Huntersville NC, Div.” 7:50:58 AM 7/22/11 “Well, I know everyone will be glad when this ball of heat disappears!!!!” 11:01:11 AM 7/22/11 “Good morning! ....my trip to Boston ends today....headed back to Ohio on the Lake Shore Limited...traveling with a 12 yr old is an adventure...and sometimes tiresome.....or maybe Im just getting old!!! (Actually she is a great kid...and well behaved and I would take her anywhere )” 4:13:20 AM 8/01/11 “I am up since 4:45am!!! Yawn.... Thank god for coffee.” 4:56:22 AM 8/01/11 “Need for coffee just not now kicked in...I'm getting shell shock from the skyrocketing price of coffee these days.” 11:19:16 AM 8/02/11 “Good morning.” 5:43:09 AM 8/03/11 “Morning, Paul! We're supposed to break heat records again today, around 101 degrees. Oh, joy. ;P Everyone be careful in this heat. I'm hoping Emily comes here for a visit next week.” 6:05:30 AM 8/03/11 “Good afternoon....back from Boston...and headed to North Alabama tomorrow!...Get to see My Cooper....and back to work in a few weeks :( ...I hope it cools down before I head south...fat chance huh?” 10:13:52 AM 8/05/11 “Good luck with that one. ;P Laurel's excited about heading back to school. Me, too! ;D 78 degrees and raining all day so far. Sure as heck beats yesterday, with 97 degrees and high humidity. The thunder has been constant since 10 am or so. I keep wanting to doze off.” 10:34:13 AM 8/05/11 “Lots of crickets around here.” 6:26:28 AM 8/07/11 “Scatter bait treated with orthoboric acid works well.” 4:10:36 AM 8/08/11 “Lol...thanks, Chili. Supposed to be 97 or so here today. Ick. Looks like the latter half of the week and the weekend might actually stay in the 80's. Sounds really good to me.” 5:36:52 AM 8/08/11 “the cicadas in PA were very loud - we didn't know what the sound was when we got there, and they sounded like monkeys, so we called them "monkey bugs" very annoying...” 9:31:44 AM 8/08/11 “Lol..;we didn't get nearly as many cicadads this year. There were no brood 13 around here at all, but the south end of the county was inundated. Got lots of katydids though.” 9:48:04 AM 8/08/11 “Just got back from the porkies. It was our first 'camping' trip with my 3 yo daughter. She was so excited to sleep in her sleeping bag that she didn't actually sleep” 10:25:38 AM 8/08/11 “That's a good thing, Deathmarch! Did she sleep all the way home though?” 11:01:30 AM 8/08/11 “Yea. She finally passed out around 1100 both nights and did sleep most of the way home, but we're only 90 min away, so she's still pretty slap happy” 12:17:13 PM 8/08/11 “Just found a copperhead out back, at the top of the steep hill and right where I grab the drain port for part of the koi pond. I threw rocks at it and it stopped and puffed up. It never turned to look or anything, and it was moving very slowly. I really wish I had my shovel with me at that moment. Instead I made Laurel go inside, when she wanted to run over and look at it. Barefoot. Sorry m'dear, not happening. Do any snake repellents actually work?” 6:05:15 AM 8/09/11 “Shotguns still can work!” 9:59:45 AM 8/09/11 “Good morning....I can hear Cooper playing in his crib...and I'm ready to hit the shower.....Ya'll have a great day!!!” 6:08:19 AM 8/10/11 “Was a hot one in north Alabama today.....tomorrow I return to Lower Alabama.....where it is even hotter!!! ...my summer vacation is almost over :( last edited: 8/11/11 8:32:55 PM” 8:31:25 PM 8/11/11 “The heat's finally breaking here. It should stay in the upper 80's here for the next several days. We had an incredible evening last night. We went to the national whitewater center here for dinner (amazing food!) and live music. I'm totally blanking on the name of the band. They're an acoustic bluegrass band from Ashevile. Halfway through the set the power for the entire facility went out, and instead of stopping they came down off the stage and kept on playing by moonlight and occasionally phone light. We were right next to them while they played. It was incredible! The power was still off by the time we left btw.” 5:35:11 AM 8/12/11 “Sounds like a great time!!!” 9:17:27 AM 8/13/11 “Good Morning.....I need more coffee!!” 7:33:11 AM 8/15/11 Hugs. “I'm willing to share!” 7:43:14 AM 8/15/11 “Good morning TTers!! Up early w/ the dog, kids still sleeping. Birch is off at Army for 2 weeks and I miss him taking care of his puppy at 6am. Coffee is goooooood. Think after I'm done w/ my half a pot I'm off to walk 3miles w/ said pup and the baby. Enjoy your day!” 5:21:34 AM 8/16/11 get up! “No thanks. I don't want to get up.” 6:47:34 AM 8/16/11 “Sunni is off work and was snoozing with a sleeping mask on when I left at 0630.” 7:21:44 AM 8/16/11 “Woooo hooo...you go sunni!!!” 1:50:44 PM 8/18/11 “Good morning! ...more coffee please!” 1:47:17 AM 8/19/11 “Morning, finally. Got in a good ride last night at the whitewater center. Amazingly my legs feel good this morning. The chigger bites from last week, not so much.” 7:00:56 AM 8/19/11 “Good morning!!! ...summer break is officially over and the kids start classes this am... :( sorta good to be back to normal! Y'all have a GREAT day!!!” 3:41:01 AM 8/22/11 “Parents still in town...I have to go keep them entertained all day.” 5:36:08 AM 8/23/11 “Yay! Free at last! Also... SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW!!! WOOT!!!” 6:21:47 AM 8/24/11 “Monday morning, already back from the store, and I'm enjoying hot tea for my sore throat” 5:37:10 AM 8/29/11 “Tree...feel better soon!!! Monday over...bring on Tuesday!!!” 5:47:48 PM 8/29/11 “Thanks, Div. The cold my mom left behind when she visited turned into the flu, but I think the worst is past. It's a bad one. Old growth tree clearing going on behind us and to the north across the street, except that's being done by the state forestry service, which is weird. Can't wait to find out what takes shelter in my yard. I expect more snakes. I love snakes, but not the venomous ones. It makes the prospect of weeding my garden tomorrow rather dicey.” 3:45:44 AM 8/30/11 “I told Laurel about the debris pile being burned across the street yesterday, and she got all excited about the prospect of snakes. "Hey, will it be just like Billy the Exterminator?!" Yikes, she likes that show. She wants one of the "Billy" bobblehead dolls they now offer, too. And a t-shirt. It's a beautiful, clear 62 degrees here this morning. I'm so glad for the end of summer. I really need to shake this cold/flu crud and hop back on my bike. Or go for a dayhike, or something. Everyone have a great day!” 5:21:11 AM 8/31/11 “I'm glad summer is over as well, it was far too hot this year.” 7:00:42 PM 9/01/11 “I agree....it is 68 degrees here!!! ...after months of 90s +...I'm wrapped up in my snowflake blanket!!!” 5:02:16 PM 9/05/11 “79 degrees here already and it's supposed to stay right around there. Humidity's staying around 98% too. Icky!” 5:53:29 AM 9/06/11 “http://www.cracked.com/article_19403_the-10-greatest-uses-trash-talk-in-history-war.html Some good reading for the morning!” 6:48:41 AM 9/06/11 “Good afternoon from Mascot, TN.” 12:45:53 PM 9/06/11 “48 degrees here this morning...my poor chickens were shivering! Morning NS!” 12:59:48 PM 9/06/11 “Good morning from Florida. Had quite a trip to Tennessee. I was babysitting a 30 year old alcoholic and drug addict. I could write a book on this one. Enjoy your day.” 5:48:49 AM 9/20/11 “Thank god I am older than 30 so everyone doesn't think it was me.” 9:37:00 AM 9/20/11 “Lol.... Good morning folks!” 3:05:59 AM 9/21/11 “Morning, Div!” 4:32:55 AM 9/21/11 Jump to Page << prev
