Wyoming or Wayland? Wyoming is in our area. Layoffs didn't happen yet. It was a scare tactic to raise taxes, not that it won't be tried next year. Just got our mileage restrictions lifted too, finally. You're still not getting Paw Paw back though... not that I wouldn't give it to you.

Whew, sure glad I made it in here before that noisy guy - - what's his name - - oh yeh, Chris, got here - - sooooo noisy.

Hey Scott, you made it in early - - yeh, and turned on the pots - - note the plural - - good foo foo this morning. Thanks.

Cloudy and raining here - - need it. Heading for a high of 88 today. Sure glad I am not in Chicago or Minneapolis. HOT HOT HOT and they are way up north. Think I will stay here. Lazy day today - - getting paint to repaint my den. Why would anyone paint their den yellow - - lived with it too long. Then, move some furniture, hang up my new wolf picture from Alaska, put my wolf ceramic on a shelf beside it - - yeh - - it can join the other "man" stuff. This is MY room, dear - - I don't tell you what to do in your sewing room. OUCH, DON'T HIT SO HARD.

OK, gotta go spend some money and try to help the economy - - hey, wait a minute, after looking at the stock market I am not sure I can afford to spend any money - - what money????

Cool

Geeze, evening all. Guess this is just a MORNING crowd. What a drag. Well, didn't trip any fire alarms (see earlier post), refinery operations normal. Still have a job.....drat, was looking forward to a mini vacation, well there's still tomorrow.....

I'd vote for a certain person, read above, if I knew what area to shadow the vote. Anyone who reads and writes in this column must be ok in anyone's book. Mine for sure.
Tragic news about the bridge collapse. Prayers for all concerned. Really tragic.

Mornin, DTR. Coffee's on. Had a dream night before last about the DTR, dreamed that 04, the janitor, JWBM, Cin, and a couple others came to PI to bring me food and coffee. I was really happy in my dream...

Sad when you only have time to dream about your friends. Hope you guys are doing ok.
Coffee might be a little strong, watch it..

Rise an' shine boys an' girls! If I gotta be up, YOU'RE gonna be up!


Coffee's good Hat, you got it just right!

Heidi, congratulate your other half on his retirement for me. Jus' think... if I had stuck with somethin' in my younger days instead of switchin' back an' forth between jobs, I could be retirin' right now too! Aw well, I wanted to work 'til I die anyway!

WHere's Chris this AM? Fall asleep at his post?

chaikwa.

Too late! In great Marine tradition, they were here first.

I finally figured out that if you don't attach glo sticks to the donuts, I'll never see 'em coming in....still too dark. And of course, when you live in a college student rental area, they're all gone by the time I get home. I'm sure the doctor thinks that's a better deal anyway.....

Back in 13 hours......Be safe and check your 6.

NWDave, good job not setting of any alarms, man what a drive you have with hwy 20 under construction. Not a lot of other ways to go with 20 choked up.

Good to see you Hat, how them new kids doing?

A fine good morning to the "group" (hey, I like that - - group - - neat way to describe such a varied bunch of characters like us).

Sure glad I beat that Chris character - - but then some other big mouth has to take his place. Oh well, he put on the coffee pot. We all ready got our rain this morning but suddenly in the middle of the rain I hear the lawn tractor going - - yard man is out there cutting with his rain coat on. Oh well, he is so far behind he said I have to keep going or I will never get done. Rain every day for a couple weeks - - Florida rain - - really hard for ten minutes, then the sun comes out. 87 here yesterday, heading for 88 today - - heat wave, hey.

Gotta go - - no sprinkles left, my doctor will be happy. Get to see the cardio guy today - - see how good, or bad, I have been. Be good,

HeartlessBob
