Hey - - coffee is here. You are a good man, Chaikwa. Not bad, either. You get an "A" for the day. Now the donuts - - hmmmm, where did you find those things, or maybe the better questions is "WHEN" did you find them - - what is that green stuff on there, some kind of foo foo topping. ????

Nother busy day catching up. Gotta run - - have a great one,

I thought coffee was on?! I guess that's why everybody is line up for the toilet... I'll start a GOOD pot.

Gas tank strap snapped Friday, about 200 yards from where I killed the Camry. That corner is now known as the devils triangle. I was under there with cracked ribs and two cinch straps, lifting it back off the U-joint. Luckily the strap was rubbing the drive shaft or the U-joint would have eaten the plastic tank without me finding it. Did a little more work on the boiler stove Saturday. It'll be doen pretty soon. I wanted to get a shot of the firebox and chimney, but my buddy already had it mounted in the tank and closed up while I was laid up. Still have to dig a trench and run the water line... can't wait. Just paid $1.82 for a shot of propane.

Dark out this time of year, almost 7AM and I needed headlights this morning.

Daylight savings should be coming up soon, right?

Well, sorta... we're IN daylight savings right now I believe. We go back to standard time the last weekend of this month, which means we change our clocks back, (spring ahead, fall back).

Don't forget; change your clocks, change your batteries, (in your smoke detectors!). I think this year I'll institute a new policy here in the breakroom; if you don't bring in your old batteries to prove you changed them, NO COFFEE FOR YOU! And judging by how popular my coffee is, I'm expecting 100% compliance! After-all, no one would want to miss out on my famous !

I'm up, but not really ready to do much. Sometimes, just showing up is good.

Break me off a square of that coffee. It should help. (where is the chew smiley?) Cooked a golden chicken last night. Beer butt style with taters, mushrooms and onions. Mmm good. 2 of my vaccuum cleaners finished it off. Now, I ain't got no lunch. Fast food is out. Guess I'll water my way through it.

You good folks have a wonderful day.

His coffee is always more popular this time of year.

Is that a ploy to get free batteries for the smoke detector in the break room that's always going off because of that rickety coffee Maker?

Chaikwa has a definite advantage over some of us - - he can filter his coffee thru his beard - - not fair. Hey, not bad today, Scott - - I chewed some but the donuts were gone. I'm late getting here, so no biggy. Up early to hit the chores - - man, I hate 'CHORES'. Think I will hook that fiver up again and take off. Finally came in to rest a bit - - it is 4 pm - - been at since 7am. Hey, wasn't there supposed to be a lunch in there somewhere. Finished the cage - - wow it looks good. Brushed all the white aluminum framework, blew all the screens, pressure washed the deck, cleaned up the furniture, washed three sliding glass doors and the dinette aquarium windows in and out, cleaned the drive and walk and front porch, cut out some overgrown plants in the patio, cleaned some gutters, hit some iron stains on the stucco from the sprinkler system - - mama said I could rest for a "FEW" minutes. I asked her what she had accomplished today. She just grinned - - before she hit me.

Gotta go make some more foo foo coffee - - need and a cookie. YEH.
