^^^^^^^^^ Is that Scott?^^^^^^^^

Cincy that skinny lil Madhat sure is a mean person sometimes. Picking on you like he does. It does sound like fun though.

Stan must have figured out that his leaky roof was from his Depends clothesline on top of the RV.

FiverSpeedoBobby must be renovating again. Sure is nice of him to build us up a new Inn.

Speaking of Inn's, I/we had one of those hotel stays back at the end of Feb where pretty much everything seemed to be either broken or messed up. I filled out the customer comment card and left a detailed letter. I then contacted Ramada Worldwide when nothing was done about our issues. Nobody did anything. Long story, several issues, no vacancies at other hotels and they changed the rate when we arrived and things went downhill from there. Since I received no replies I contacted the Fire Marshall and the points company we earn with. Got a call at 7 this morning from that hotel...finally. Turns out the Fire Marshall has been there weekly finding violations. I was told that my refund is being mailed out today.
I was not even interested in a refund. I just wanted them to acknowledge their lack of knowledge when it comes to safety and common sense.

Sometimes its nice to know people in the right places. It took me awhile to resort to contacting my friend that runs the inspections in their city.

Its not always a good thing to stir things up. However, the end result in this situation will be a safer and much more compliant place for others to stay at.

There are several fire breathing seal like creatures swimming in the Phoo00 Pot. Its obvious that we left the Seal and the Dragon alone too much.

Thunderstorms forecast for here tomorrow. Only a matter of time for that cycle to fire up. Our water table is higher then most kitchen sinks in this area right now. Lots of moisture to evaporate and then return to the ground.

Enjoy the day!

They should, we don't fight if we don't think we can win quick and when we do fight, we don't fight fair. Like Mark said, come closer.

Morning all. Prayer to those in Arkansas. They lost 7 folks in overnight storms.

Sorry for no report this AM. Had an early class in Indiana this morning. Just got back and now I'm watching the live funeral of Kalamazoo Public Safety Officer Eric Zapata who was killed in the LOD last week. I was going to go directly there after my class, got dressed up and everything, but I heard on the radio that they had people standing outside the auditorium that there was no room for in the 6000 seat place. Nice tribute to him.

Now they're trying to deliver communion to all 6000+ people... this ought to take awhile.

ummmmmmmm waffles
Whats your goal weight?

Mine is 245. I was at 340 two yrs ago. Dropped below 300 last fall. Hovering at 285 now. Time to kick the diet into the next gear. 245 is the goal for my 50th birthday next May. Realistic so far. I might even grow a neck.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeat.

RIP to Eric

Hey, com'on down - - lots of room for that fiver out with the cattle, right beside the alligator pond. You will love it - - you can dance with the coyote - - oh yeh, it was wolves, wasn't it. Oh well, coyote will work. ....

Spent the weekend out there except for Sunday morning. Lots of demo done - - now I am ready to start pounding nails and seeing something go the other way. Going too slow - - not a patient person on stuff like this. Let's either do it or else go fishing. Right Don???? Fishing - - yeh.....

OK, gotta go pick up some more supplies - - be good. Back at it in the morning.

Bob

I've dropped 11 pounds in the last 6 weeks, now at 250. My only goal is short term, to make it back into a 38" pant, then I'll set my next one. Just for fun I tried on a 38 last week. I got them up, buttoned and zipped. I could not get comfortable in them. It'll be a while.

Hey! I have an idea... it's still early enough in the year so we can all plan to travel, plan to get enough money saved, etc, etc. Let's all plan on spending the Christmas Holiday's with Bob! We'll come in around the 20th of December or so and stay until, oh I dunno, let's say early February. He'll love it! Bring your whole families! Enroll your kids in school down there! Nevermind having to bring a camper or such, he's got PLENTY of room with all these renovations he's doing!

Don't say anything to him tho, let's make it a surprise for him. Old people like him don't have a lot going on, so I bet he'll just LOVE it!

I like surprises.

I am a ways from a 38 pant. 40's are fine. I was a 46.

It was tough having to hold my breath to tie my shoes. It was even tougher to not be able to see my shoes. Did I enjoy the sport of strongman? Yes. Amazing what the human body can do. Pass the tendons please.

I was a 34 in high school. 36 now. I guess that ain't too bad for 32 years. I don't think I'm really getting any bigger around. I attribute it to 'settling'.
