Glad to see Ghris made it back out of their basement, hope everyon else is OK too

l jobb We use 8 foot game fence here, with a singe hot that they hit as they walk up to fence. Its about 3 feet high an 5 feet from base of fence...Kinda spendy fencing in 2000 acre farms...Weather has been warm here too...we get dozens of earthquakes here a day, local page doesn't even report them unless they are 2.6 or bigger.

son has a friend over. friend loves to work. broke weather temp records past two days 65 and 67 degrees. cut, split and stacked about 30 logs....had to quit on purpose just for something to do next month. love son's friend. hehehe
he even brought krispie kremes.......

up to the scuba shop to get our tanks annual check out and clean re fills.
course, had to buy little stuff like the aluminum mini dive tank that holds all your replacement O rings. and I do not mean donuts....

having CHAIKWA withdrawal. don't know if they stay down where they are training or driving back and forth. no phone calls though, no email, no one to pick on......

aluminum frames are way over price now Claude, sorry. great stuff from the military auctions, but someone comes in and spoils the bid. these came out of PA and were an easy pickup. never know what is gonna be on the block next or where. sigh!

little projects being worked on and waiting for electric motor parts to come in (then done!) until then, I am babysitting handicapped sis in law and trying not to get in trouble......

Green book for the green horn, that shouldn't make you too hard to spot.

Son might want to be more careful about who he brings home. Let him know you plan on trading up before his warranty expires. Throw a flannel shirt and a nappy old mop on the hubby's head. That should cure the withdrawls.

good luck t-round... just remember, your odds of surviving a tornado are just as good if your asleep...

My wife pointed out if I can stay in town three more days, I will have a phone bill without any roaming charges...

Maybe so, but the bath tub isn't as comfortable as my bed.

I have lived in tornado alley most of my life, I have seen a house distroyed and the neighbor's untouched.
My step dad's house had the back wall taken off and the bird cage next to the wall was left unmoved (the bird was a bit edgy for a while).

If a tornado hits, you will be fine unless its your time. sleep soundly in your bed.
