I remember that story. BAD combination... sleep deprivation, speed and high explosives. I'll stick with coffee and the occasional firecracker, thanks!” 9:48:39 AM 4/02/04 “I've been having problems sleeping through the night, so I've been getting up pretty early. 3:30 AM yesterday. and i'm not a morning person!!” 11:39:43 AM 4/02/04 “morning & hugs.....I didn't get drunk last. eve...LOL..sheesh But I did go out with some friends and slept in really late..... hope y'all have a great day ...I am off to the store and then to work... :)” 11:42:15 AM 4/02/04 “I'm up early. Usually not before the crack of noon, but I was off the last three days and adjusted my schedule to KabinKampers, So here I am, coffee and seamsealer in hand getting ready for a nice two night trip to somewhere tomorrow with the BOSS. Funny, I was never issued any speed in my days as a Ranger, Currahee, OR Rakkasan. We just trained to perform with no sleep under stressful conditions.” 11:46:08 AM 4/02/04 “I read the article. Air Force, figures.” 11:47:43 AM 4/02/04 “currahee - I only did a quick look-see with Goggle. So I don't know what the truth is. I did see the Navy mentioned in one article, too.” 12:52:48 PM 4/02/04 “MORNING...am I the only one awake????...well I guess I'd best get ready & get to work......overtime...wooohoooo” 4:21:23 AM 4/03/04 “forces eyes open ugh. What time is it anyway?” 4:24:12 AM 4/03/04 “Good morning, all you great people. Aaaaah, divinity, You make mornings look beautiful.” 5:08:47 AM 4/03/04 “Morning everyone! =) MMers are having a "training day" today. Should be about 8-9 hours packed full of hiking, riding, kayaking and an orienteering course. I'm excited.” 5:42:49 AM 4/03/04 “sounds like a blast. I'll be flying all day and miss the BB game. :(” 5:51:34 AM 4/03/04 “Pets started pestering me to get up about 5:30, but I held out until nearly 6:30. Surprised the grackles when I let the dog out the front door. Ah, the gurgle of the coffee maker finishing its work...back in a minute...mmmm, goooood. Brought a new Braun back from our trip to Chicago and it has some nice usable features compared to our old Krups. Of course, I first thought I'd just go back to bed after letting the pup do her thing, but both demanded to be fed. No sleeping in around this house anymore, it seems -- except for the one who doesn't get up with the pets, which today is my wife.” 7:10:53 AM 4/03/04 “The boy and I are up this morning, but my wife and daughter are still abed. I think I see a pattern there, lol...” 7:33:10 AM 4/03/04 “gotta go to work, soon. only nice thing about sat is that there really isn't any "office hours" in force - it's just "get your ass in there and get the work done". lets seee.....13 days to go!” 7:35:10 AM 4/03/04 “Yeah, bit, I'm controlling my urge to go upstairs with a cup of coffee and try to lure my wife out of the sack with the aroma of fresh java. Then again, I do have this time on the computer to myself. I may just give up on trying to sleep in on weekends. Must be a sign of growing old.” 7:54:53 AM 4/03/04 “Yah, I think it is. When I get up in the morning, I'm up whether I want to be or not. Having the time alone to yourself is a big plus in my book though.” 7:57:46 AM 4/03/04 “And when I say time to myself, I mean it. The dang cat and dog, now that they've been attended to, have both gone back to sleep. On my second cup of coffee and wishing it weren't 39 degrees outside, overcast with gusts up to 30 mph. Not very inviting out there and expected to be that way the rest of the day. Well, there's plenty of books and magazines around here to read. Or turn things on their head and watch a movie in the morning, instead of at night.” 8:04:18 AM 4/03/04 “Well, it probably isn't a lot warmer here, but it's supposed to get up to 65F and it's sunny here...gonna be a great day.” 8:08:32 AM 4/03/04 “Oh, yeah, big chore for the day -- got to get a new microwave oven. The old one still runs fine, except the plastic "seal" around the perimeter of the door just deteriorated, cracked into pieces and started falling out of the door. Of course it's not a part that can be replaced...and the warnings are clear not to use it if any part of the door is damaged. It's an Emerson, btw, as fair warning. Only about 4 years old I think. Of course at the prices these days, just another "disposable" household item.” 8:14:12 AM 4/03/04 “Its cool so far but should get up to 72 today, very nice. Not a cloud in the sky, a light breeze and perfect wildfire conditions! Other than that, the bambina is still sleeping, which makes for a nice quiet morning.” 8:16:41 AM 4/03/04 “treebait, the WI DNR fire wardens must be happy with our snow pack in the woods that is soaking the forest floor as it melts. ... Just got interrupted by the phone as I typed this. My mother-in-law calling from Lake Worth, FL. Ha ha, my wife has to wake up now!” 8:23:06 AM 4/03/04 “wooohooo...back from work........almost not worth going in.........but they want to pay me for doing nothing I guess.....” 8:29:23 AM 4/03/04 “Good morning, everyone. It's time to spring forward to GSMNP. So it may be goodbye for a while. My internet connection is scheduled to go on vacation starting sometime tomorrow. I will save the $45 per month for a minimum of at least three months and pay only one $15 fee. That's $120 available for gear! Wait, I'm saving $34 per month on my physical fitness club dues, too. Let's see, 3 x 34, is __, aaaaaaah, is more geal. So my posting will be limited to occasional library visits. It's trail time in GSMNP.” 6:53:54 AM 4/04/04 “Have fun, Nowslimmer!” 7:17:30 AM 4/04/04 “Have a blast, Nowslimmer!” 7:57:50 AM 4/04/04 “Good morning. Upper 50's and sunshine today. Good day to load up my new pack and take a day walk. I think I'll try that old ski trail and see what the snow melt looks like. Have a great day. Nowslimmer - good luck to you. Hope you can live through the internet withdrawl.” 8:16:54 AM 4/04/04 “Daylight Savings Time still sucks! <G>” 9:14:38 AM 4/04/04 “Woo Hoo! I'ts daylight savings time. We should just do away with standard time.” 9:25:28 AM 4/04/04 “I don't need DST as much in the summer as in the Winter. It gets dark at about 4:15 up here. If only there were a way to put some of that summer daylight and save it in a jar in a dark closet until the winter. I'd have another hour to ski.” 9:28:14 AM 4/04/04 “People who like Daylight Savings Time should all move to the Equator!” 9:44:07 AM 4/04/04 “I don't need daylight at 3:45 AM.” 9:46:07 AM 4/04/04 “No thanks to the equator. Entirely too hot for this Yankee. I'll put up with the dark as long as it continues to mean less people. If we could only do something about the Illinois and Minnesota problem. Standing by for a blast.” 9:59:50 AM 4/04/04 “That's your problem! LOL” 10:02:56 AM 4/04/04 “(for MH)” 10:07:38 AM 4/04/04 Sunup and Sundown at 6:00. “I'm a Yankee and I found equator living great. The woman are much warmer!” 10:21:48 AM 4/04/04 “It looks like we need a northern time zone and a southern time zone.” 10:34:59 AM 4/04/04 “All opposed? Motion carried!” 10:38:40 AM 4/04/04 “i still like it.” 10:39:30 AM 4/04/04 “have a good trip nowslimmer. I'll up there at Smokemont the weekend after April 15 with the kids for a basecamp weekend, feel free to stop in and say hi. goes for all you folks too, by the way.” 11:29:28 AM 4/04/04 “Have fun nowslimmer. Keep in touch about your North Woods visit. Hey Snake Eyes, how come our forecast calls for staying in the 30s today and you get 50? The sun is out, though I have to put in some grading time at the office.” 11:43:12 AM 4/04/04 Pekka “God likes me best. I was over there again, Thurs thru Sat. Thursday was fine, Friday great and Saturday just sucked. Once I got 40 miles away from Eagle River the sun was out and 10 degrees warmer.I don't know why, but it's been that way all winter. You guys have had a much tougher winter. Nowslimmer, are you saying your women have to be pre-warmed? Must be one of those lazy, hazy days of summer southern things. I like to think I can still activate my own, but you keep doing whatever works for you. Tilt - time zone? We already have a different reality zone.” 12:51:26 PM 4/04/04 “Snake Eyes - Remember to ask me about it when I get up there.” 3:23:47 PM 4/04/04 “Oh, this looks like an interesting get-together between nowslimmer, Snake Eyes and me this summer in 'da Nort.'” 3:37:47 PM 4/04/04 “Holy mackerel, Kingfish! Junction City has grown from a population of around 10 to 440. It's going to be crowded in the "North Woods!"” 3:55:29 PM 4/04/04 “Am I the first one up????? My first day on day shift....wooohooooo......... I had such a fun weekend!!!!Sat eve with my friends...and yesterday with friends & family....I drank a bunch....ate a bunch.....& hugged & kissed a bunch.....” 4:18:13 AM 4/05/04 “up early div, coffee is good today!” 5:41:05 AM 4/05/04 “ " ... & hugged & kissed a bunch....."Drat! I missed it. Good morning, everyone. Great to see all of you smiling.” 5:45:46 AM 4/05/04 “Good morning Divinity. Good morning Nowslimmer. Below freezing in Mokena Illinois before dawn. Coffee is good. Now I have two days to rest my back from three days of backpacking in Iowa with Lizs before heading out to Texas with Chili.” 5:56:21 AM 4/05/04 Good morning all “Little stiff today with all of Sunday's activities, but it feels good. Pilates today and then another little hike, a float down the river, followed by another little hike. All in the interest of avoiding housework. Coffee tastes great again this morning but then, I don't suppose I'd drink it if it didn't” 7:07:17 AM 4/05/04 “Morning. My boyfriend is still in my bed at home, but I'm here at work, thinking about getting something done. I gotta get me a teaching job so I can have spring break too.” 7:10:55 AM 4/05/04 Jump to Page << prev
