Hey all, coffee is brewed, and froofy stuff too. Maid service brought up donuts and bacon. The housecleaning lady put out new towels. She said stop using them to dry off the dog and they are not allowed in the pool anyway. Don't know what she's talking about. We didn't bring the dog. So, you hairy guys, no swimming unless you have time to air dry.

Have a good one

 

It sure isn't me either. SCOTT!




Morning Shorts.

 

Morning guys and gals,
Donuts and Bacon!!! Girl, you rock. I mean Bob and others run an ok breakroom but Coffee, Donuts and Bacon! Nothing else I need.
Figured out how to finish shaving my back so I can get in the pool. It wasn't pretty but its amazing what you can do with a roll of duct tape and a long handled ice scraper.
Got the gum off the ceiling too.

 

My eyes! My eyes! Somebody dump some more chlorine in the pool! Morning Bark.

 

I don't swim.

Departure from the normal Cherio's this morning. I'm having a warmed cinnamon bun with a stick of butter!

Thanks for the coffee Shorts!

I'll leave y'all with this:

 

what hotel you staying at that the maid brought donuts? last hotel I was at I had to go ask for towels every couple days and they never cleaned the room the week I was there.

 

Morning Shorts - - and rest of you beasts also. The froooothy or whatever stuff isn't too bad - - good girl. But, all this bacon stuff - - ya'll gotta know it ain't good fer ya. Nosirrreeee. or Noomaaaammmm. Good though.

Welcoming the cool breezes of the Smokies this morning - - nice change. Heading out to take the blonde to her birthday dinner - - turned 29 today - - Yeh - - uh huh. She wished.

CYA,

Bob

 

Hi I'm back home. sent PM's to Scottkwa with no reply. Sadness.
Got a delivery tomorrow then a (censored) that could change things for us in a big way.
Hope everyone has a great week. This hotel room looks ok but it needs some altering.
Time for the chainsaw.

Hi Bobbydependable.

 

Me neither.

One of those guys last week that cleaned out their 7.3 HPOP reservoir, the one said his truck would make a good Ford commercial, the previous owner didn't take care of it, spun a new filter on when the pressure dropped. It was pretty nasty inside and he'd drop the pan to clean it out but is afraid he'd find something that would really scare him.

Now I got a guy saying that anyone going over 70 pulling a trailer, any kind of trailer, should be arrested and the vehicle impounded, because at that speed you have no control, all you are doing is aiming.

Here's that line of thought.

That site is run by people out of Seattle area and they attract a lot of people who think like they do. Why let facts mess up a good argument?

 

WHAT???? WHERE IS MY PM???? Now I am going in the corner and pout. ........................and you were supposed to keep your mouth shut about my care package. Big mouth......................
Hope the chain saw is unavailable - - - I don't want to come and bail you out. Behave.

Took the blonde out for her birthday din din to a nice restaurant here in the mountains. Then she had to go to KILWINS for her hot fudge sunday. She was happy. She also got a new Kindle HD Fire so she doesn't have to haul all her reading material along and can hit the inet without bothering me. She is happy. Heading for 50 degrees tonight - - wow, quite a difference from two days ago in Florida. Gotta go hit the exercise room for a while - - see ya,

Bob

 

Hey folks, glad yall like the place.

Bob, happy birthday to Mrs Bob.

DH and I landed in Miami early this afternoon and drove around scoping the area. We are a bit disappointed tonight. The three of the seven houses we picked to see and are actually still available don't give us good vibes at all. We are sitting in out hotel bar now, having cold beers, surfin, rechecking our rental lists, making contingency lists. Tomorrow we got out officially with the realtor. We sent her a note tonight, asking her to bump up the rental cost to our max price. Fingers crossed we get a few hits that look promising.

Back to watching the 49ers v. Packers and downing this cold one. After my cheeseburger I'll be ready to drag and dump my carcass in bed.

 

What PM? The last one I got from you said you were going to be in Indiana in two weeks and you'd touch base with me then. Still waiting! I'm in Lansing now. In a hotel. For the whole freakin' week!

If he's talking about pulling trailers with pick ups, he's right. I saw at least 6 of them on the way up here tonight, all going over 70 and none of them realizing what they had behind them for weight. I kept hoping for a deer to jump out in front of them or something just to watch the show.

Well, with all the projects I have to do, and the short time I have to do them in, here I sit in a hotel for the week. All that will be accomplished is I'll probably add 20 pounds to my middle region. Next week, HOPEFULLY, I'll be able to make some substantial progress to at least the processor. I still have the boiler to install, but the week after next we head to New England for 3 weeks.

I hate my life sometimes.

 

Better idea than the way we used the (censored) and the (censored) on those Motels in Arizona and Colorado.......but then again of course that method left no trace evidence

How is little brother doing ?

 

Shucks, I just came across ND and most of MN at 65 - 70 with the first gen pulling a fiver and a 150 HP bass boat.

Maybe I can let it roll a little when I get the brakes fixed.

 

Evening everybody.

Fronty: Here is a tip on the towels--
I find that they will scream and throw towels at me if I open the door without getting dressed but they wont come in and clean the room.

First sunny day in awhile. Been working on the trailer. Still haven't installed the new LP I bought two years ago. Oh well, at least I keep it with me.
