I have made a decision; you're always telling us how beautiful these things are, so you now have to post a few pictures of them. You just got a superior report from your doctor, so we know you're not some sickly old phart and we know it won't be stressing your heart to get your butt out there and do it. So, DO IT! please?Show us the blooms Bob! Show us the lanny or whatever you call it. Just don't show us your leggs!

Evening all.

Scot, you finally back from downtown Jackson? How bad could that have been.....after all, you did get paid right? Now you can pay that crazy high fuel oil bill!!!! Can't believe that crude is that high!! Makes one wonder what's next in line to shoot up in price.

Highest I've ever accomplished was about 70%. That was a 35 HP 3 pass boiler with power draft and power burn and a bunch of electronics. Needed to be maintained (punched down) daily or it'd plug up.

That baby did put out the heat, though, and consumed all the scrap wood from the water bed factory it was heating and then some.

I'm startin' to believe the new "American Dream" is getting paid to pay someone else! Home ownership ain't all it's cracked up to be anymore.

Try pic #1 in my album - - one of my orchids sitting in the lanai. Man, what more could you ever want? I will show you new pics of the lanai when I get it done - - that is IF I ever get it done. Sure coming together slow. Soon, baby, soon - - can't wait. Parts for the grille are due tomorrow. Man is good and heavy stainless ever expensive. LEGGS??? No way, Jose. One is almost twice as large as the other - - - don't know when that is going to correct - - it has been 2-1/2 months all ready and still all swollen.

Care to elaborate on that so the rest of us know what you're talking about?

Pretty sure it's self explanatory! We all get paid just to pay someone else so we can live on a day to day basis.

drivers dont frustrate me that much.... I get annoyed at the Arkansans that wanna drive on your bumper thru town, blow past you at the first opportunity do then keep it under 55 when the speed limit is 65.

I spent a day pretty much off the web. Im feeling better today.
Im out to do anything else.

Yeah, I shouldnt be complaining. At least I feel good enough to whine about it. Our flight from Seattle to Anchorage was delayed because they had to replace the first officer due to illness.

Yup. And also the people who drive way under the limit in no passing zones than when you get to a passing area they speed up to 70.

Well, Its almost time for a shot of this generic NyQuil and a bowl of soup. Or vice versa.

Morning fine folks. Dang connection issues AGAIN this morning. After a lengthy reply to a poster I hit the submit button only to have everything I just typed wiped out and the site locked up. Too mad to re-type it all right now.

Coffee is ready, multiple choices for pHoO, and Claude has his pot of hot water should he stop by this morning. I'll check back afterwhile and see how it's going. Hopefully this post will live!!!
