6:48? Dang, should've logged in sooner. Oh well, at least it's got a decent name. Coffee's good, fax is on stand by, waiting. Must've scared off the germans yesterday, didn't see any bizmarks lurking about.

Mornin'.

'Skuttlebutt'... we're back to that name again. Oh well, I should expect it I guess. I go away for a few weeks and the whole place goes to poo. Took me 5 hours last night and this AM tryin' to clean this dive. Where do you guys think you are, home?

Well, this tree company that's parkin' here on the property is bringin' me all kindsa free firewood. Got about 6 cords on the ground now jus' waitin' to be split. Naturally, now that I have a 48" splitter that runs reliably and efficiently, all I get for wood is 16 to 18 inch stuff! Anyone wanna buy a BIG splitter?

The good is on. Be careful... I'm sure it's not what you're used to gettin' lately!

Mornin, Mornin... Last sunday of the cycle. Got a good nap in yesterday, feel much better. My wife went to a Jane Wayne day yesterday, it's where some DI's take them to do stuff that recruits do, rapel tower, rifle range, crucible stuff, it's a lot of fun. My wife had a good time. I got some pics, I'll post later.

Made a ricer mad yesterday, too...

Howdy,
Back at the home 20.

Headed for the daughter's yesterday for her B-Day.
Was met outside by her & her hubby with a strange look on their faces.
No....she's NOT preggers.

Hubby decided to surprise her by removing a wall between their dining room and their rec room while she was at work.

Surprize!!.....Great idea,......BUT, he neglected to check to see if the wall was a bearing wall.

When I tried to ejumakate him to this fact, I got that "Deer in the headlights" look.

Ceiling was starting to droop about an inch.
So much for spending a relaxing day with the daughter.

Headed to Lowes to get the needed materials/tools to build and install a header and supports to carry the ceiling load across the (now) 13 foot opening.

All's well now, removed and capped wires to one electric baseboard element, and two outlets and the ceiling is back where it belongs.

I need to go back to work to get a break.

36 psi is a lot of boost for a gasser.

diesels dont have enough performance to warrant a gauge...

Afternoon...

Here's a shot of me and the mrs on the rappel tower, and a pic of her at the unknown distance range. If you can see the back of her shirt, you can see that she has "Morton's CO" on the back. Also attached is our rapel vid, and my re-enlistment vid. The rappel vid had one of my fellow retards... I mean Marines taping it, and he said a curse word at the begining. Mrs mad was supposed to edit it out, if she did not, someone tell me so I can remove it. Can't watch youtube here at work...

Wink Way nicer than a pic!

THANKS son! MADHAT I am proud of you! nice to see that your wife is not afraid of anything- (after having three kids!) four more for you to get to E-8.
weird news (rumor mill) is top officer type stating to Washington Board (budget) that every marine will see time in Afganistan in the next two years.....hopefully, it is just a money ploy and not a combat plan. stash some of those non melting chocolate bars just in case..and the woolies if it is North mountain area where our 10th mountain Division is...brrrrrr

half the boat waxed in cold weather, then put away in it's garage all winterized and such. will do caulking and other detailing while it is covered.
saving nice day tomorrow to head up to the property and scuba moving rocks (low water) or find the next big shipwreck. don't care what the temp is as long as it is sunny.

son's 19th birthday today- gave him a musical card that played "FREE RIDE' - think that is a good enough hint to get out and get a job? he is still waiting to get into Army National guard- I tried to explain- regardless, you have to get a job anyways. lost on deaf ears, stubborn stubborn lazy but smart guy.
ok parents - I need some advice shy of me and my shotgun......

Glad to see ya MikMaze and Dieselstorm! Good thing he fits the stereotype of a son in law Ed, low expectations mean he will always surpris eyou by calling you BEFORE he gets out the hammer....

ok, CHAIKWA is back- hair is floating in coffee- I am walking over to the hot water pot and making hot spiced cider.......
