Sorry about that Bob. I saw the radar earlier and it didn't look too good down your way. Sucks having Alabama weather huh?

 

Snowing here I am SOOOOO ready for Spring

 

Ah Lary.....it is spring. You just happen to live where it snows until summer.

 

Ooops. My misstake.
Dang, wish I had thought of that when I was answering phones.
Father in-law is doing good so I no longer get to complain since I get to go south in 12 days. Hahahaha oops, I mean cough cough cough

 

'misstake'? Or mistake?

 

Evenin' All! Nightshift is here.

Yep. Happened here too. Been 35*+ for the last week or so and everything was melting just fine. Then 3 days ago, 3" of snow dumped...... Now it's supposed to drop to -20* tonight..... Figures, I just put the fan back on the truck for the summer......

 

The melt started and now more snow in the forecast here too.

10-20 cm.

Hope everyone has a great day.

The Phoo0 talked to me so I left the room.

 

I guess Captain Geritol is still waiting on his fiber to kick in. Just a fly by, helping a buddy this morning find parts for his 4 wheeler. Just saw on the news where the missing Egyptian cobra has been captured. Whew..........I'm sure glad.

 

You'd be glad if it were in your neighborhood!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why's it still #2?

Coffee's on.

 

Interesting, Scott - - oil below $10 a barrel 25 years ago. Hmmmm, has your paycheck increased by 10 times in the past 25 years? If not, you are behind, baby. The paycheck of the ARABS has. We have to get our production up to cover our needs and keep pulling our needs down. Gotta do it.

Busy day today - - lots done - - mama is up and doing some better. Still not getting near her and she doesn't like it. She always has to touch me when she is in bed - - this foot comes wandering around in the bed finding me while I chuckle while moving to make her miss. Games at 2am - - fun. Now I am in the other room for this episode - - she says she wakes up with her legs tired - - probably from wandering all over the bed all night trying to find me. .....

On Edit - - just noticed no one posted since our daily digest today - - where is everyone? Hurricane? Sunami? I know it isn't the Rapture? Hmmmm?????

 

None of the above Bob. I've been gone since this morning helping a buddy and trying to collect some money owed to me.

 

I still have mixed feelings about that one. They never should have landed there. I know it was in bad shape but some reports indicate the plane might have made it back to Japan or gone to Thailand or anyplace rather than fly it the seventy miles to the very island it was spying on. Additionally, they had parachutes. I know, I wasnt there and might have done the same thing (and needed new underwear) but the amount of info the Chinese stole off the aircraft may never be known.

With this crowd its a pretty safe bet.

 

Well I was on the road most of the day, that's why I wasn't here. Now I'm in my hotel room in Uganda. Teaching a class this weekend but I'll try and post my usual.

 

...PFFFFT


What is Thorpe.org ? It pops up on my screen sometimes.

 

I didnt know you could drive to Uganda. Pick up some coffee for the breakroom while you are there.
