Scott, that is the nicest thing you could ever say about me and Ianna. She definitely is a lot like me in looks and personality. Good looking, smart, well spoken, motivated, a leader - - so very much like me. YEP.......... ........................Thanks for noticing................

First performance went well - - tired - - hitting the sack. Morry,

Bob

Don't forget humble.

Went swimming (at the community pool) for the first time in years tonight. It wore me out.
Had some elderly lady accidentally wander into the guys shower area. Sounded like a bunch of girls screaming.
I discovered how old I am getting because I just didn't care.

Good. Long as you found something!

I'm ALWAYS 'kind'!

How the heck would I know? I got the recipe from YOU!

Today's thought:
Approach each new problem not with a view of finding what you hope will be there, but to get the truth, the realities that must be grappled with. You may not like what you find. In that case you are entitled to try to change it. But do not deceive yourself as to what you do find to be the facts of the situation.


B0b, Heidi wants to know why you didn't wave at her. She's in Key West, but said she waved like mad when she flew over your house. Saw you in your short shorts and Hawaiian shirt tending to your orchids and you didn't even acknowledge her!

C0ffee & ph00 are ready.

Have a lovely day!

FiverBob

I know, buddy - - -- I didn't want to sound bragadoshious (is that a word???) about our little girl, so I quit - - sooo much more I could have added........................................... ....

Hey, I saw her and waved - - but I looked and she didn't have her glasses on. Wanted to show her the latest blooms - - gorgeous.

Heidi - - if you get email down here, be sure to look up Kino sandals - - they are made in Key West. Gotta have a pair when you leave or you ain't been in Key West. They have an outlet right there at the park where they worship the sunset every night.

Ph00 - - - - yeh......................
Gone,
Bob

Morning put coffee and phoo on found some doughnuts out by the curb so I placed them over there.

Started raining here ahead of the nasty weather Sunday. I hope all make it thru the storm in good shape prayers going up for Bobs family and anyone who needs them.

Scotty

The part about hitting your sack at the end of the day sounds counter productive. Please tell me Ianna isn't trying to do that too.
More Prayers from here. Last night as I was laying beside Maddi listening to her drift off to sleep, she paused and says; "Daddy? Will your friends granddaughter hear me when I whisper to her to be strong?"
I said of course she will. Right out of the blue from her sleep so we know there's a conscious contact.

I can deeply sympathize. I went through steroid and other treatments myself as a child. It saved my life though. The hardest part is living through watching someone you love in pain. Many prayers brother, many prayers.

More freezing rain. Slow drive home and just as slow coming in this AM. Jeep even did the snake dance. That's when I decided I better put it into 4wd. Didn't help much as I watched the gal in front of me hit the guard rail. Other than the indignity of getting punched in the face by an air bag, she was okay.

Øresund, storebælt, langeland you name it and I'll tell you it's closed.
What really got my attention was the fact that you typed an Ø, I didn't think you had any of those in the states
Anyway, the wind has slowed down, but now the sea is rising to new levels, so lots of towns at the coast are flooded, people are evacuated to higher grounds.
The good news is I got my furnace going again, I had to shut it down last night, the hard wind made it impossible to keep going, so it was kinda chilly in here when I came home from work, but now it's up and running.

I'll just grab a doughnut and a cup of coffee, then I'll be out checking my furnace...better keep that thing going

Sounds strangely like most of Alaska. Of all of it, I think I hate the wind the worst. It's hard to hide from or run from. Been damaged by it, been hurt by it.
Anyway, new hour new gripe. After a meeting with our new manager and his declaration "all is well, all is well" and his goal is to bring back work to Alaska (good luck); we were notified that we will not be getting our pay checks today. And they will not say when we might get them. No one seems to know were (or if) they are all the way back to the corporate office.

Hope everybody is doing well today.

That was my pancake recipe.

I got a used one off eBay.

Dense fog rolled in. With rain on top of the ice I am glad I don't have to go anywhere today.

Scotty

-43 windchill here.

slevhansen

They really do have everything in that shop I guess


It is not like Alaska, it´s a bit warmer here, at -43 I would be...hmmm heck, I have no idea what I would do besides freeze like a little wet puppy bbrrr.
Hope that paycheck finds its way, I´m pretty sure there would be quite a riot here if the paycheck didn´t come in.

OH my goodness - - horrible buddy. I remember -41 actual in Minnesota - - brutal.

They are deeply appreciated. Just talked with the wife - - Ianna is really starting to kick in with attitude and appetite. She cannot get enough tomatoes and Macadamean nuts. She screams bloody murder if you don't get them to her quick enough. As you state, tough to watch.

We are getting a load of ice right now. Should amount to 1/2 inch or so they say. Just waiting for the power to drop as we live at the end of the line. At least it's not real cold, you guys with -40's BAH! I remember my first winter in MT after moving from GA. 95 mph wind and -40. What a shock!

cougar

My 1st winter in MT hit -70°. We were living in a travel on my dads ranch.
