With everyone moving about this summer, I thought we could 'keep in touch' with DTR members from all over....

back from the carnage of Fourth festivities at state line NY/PA:
162 people at a mountain field party, 20 4wheelers with no alcohol means only 3 visits to the ER.
broken collar bone on a smart guy nephew working for NSA/Army. needed to report in the next day.
12 y.o. with 5 inner/9 outer stitches due to helmet collision with a parked loader. father passing out when son needed stitches.
my son bought a harley (I'm worried now) then was dehydrated and later rolled a 4 wheeler five times. sore but no injury. hope the message sticks in his head about caution.
broken rib -football pass sent past tree, man tackled by tree.

42 pounds of explosives/80 pounds fireworks mortars/ 100 pound wired finale- not one single injury. 65 minute fireworks show.

back from a real mountain in PA today -230 mile bike ride for a picnic.
saw 45 in law siblings or cousins cook,eat, play, swim, fish and talk.
awesome. we are going back down tomorrow and riding around some lakes.
son wanted to come, so we came the 100 miles home. just so he didn't have to ride all that way alone.

things you do as parents..

Glad Mad is in the sand. SSDD

 

Greetings!

I set out an array of delicious and tantalizing selections of Meats, Fruits and Pastries for all to enjoy.

The Jalapeno Scrambled Eggs have a touch of Parmesan.

Fresh squeezed orange juice and Bloatmeal for my Elder Twin Top.



New Speedo Style Depends for you know who that drinks all the Ph0o0

This will be one of my very best weeks! More on that later.

 

Currently still here until 0800 then headed somewhere else. Guess I need to get a flat T'rex and start snapping pics.

 

Hey, some early birds on here this morning - - - or should I say some late birds???

Heidi, your stories are always a grin - - you have some fun in between all that work.

T'Rad -- sounds like you may be lost this morning. Happens some times.

Then, there is Scotty - - Scotty, Scotty - - what do we do with you? Those smokin' hot eggos were good, snitched some of the oatmeal from Twin - - more than he could have eaten and I am hungry. But you messed up the ph00 again - - made me dump the pot and make fresh. Oh, loved the fruit - - very nice. .....

OK, I am gone, busy day. Ya'll have a great one.

Bob

 

Heidi thanks for starting up the new breakroom. Looks like you had a lot of work related fun. Nice to see all the family.

Scotty, them eggs were GOOOOOOD! mmmmmm with home made corned beef hash.

Bobby is up and at it early as usual, probably off to help someone else. Good people.

I was supposed to work today but took both tours off. vacations seem to be more and more work getting ready to go on them. Yard work today, got to fill in some holes, my buddy Otis has been digging up china men.

 

Finally getting your STD test results back?

Uh huh... a school system over in Detroit obtained fresh fruit for the students not too long ago. It was supposed to have come from California. SUPPOSED to. It actually came from Mexico. Where they fertilized their fields with raw human waste. The whole school system came down with Hepatitis 'A'. Knowing the person that gave you the fruit, still think your fruit was good this morning Bob?

In "recovery mode" after Wifey's nephew's afternoon wedding and reception last night.


If "you're only as old as you feel", I must be pre-historic this morning.



Coffee and cold pizza for breakfast, great 'mornng after' meal.

Been off all week, Tomorrow back to work

B safe

 

Im still in Oklahoma...

 

Still stuck at home rigging the double. Kink was about ten years of maintenance to catch up on. Hope to have it rolling in another week for about a 400 mile test run with multiple stops at friends with wrenches, just in case.

Hope the new sticks are here by then. The originals with 200k on em are getting noisy and smelly.

 

You always gotta bring up that time at Band Camp somehow don't ya?

At least I wasn't the one wearing the [censored] with a Sheep in my room.
Cincy told me you were dressed like that but I just had to confirm.

HORRORS!

 

YOU said it, not us!

What the HECK are you talkin' 'bout? 'Double'... as in 2 trailers? 'Sticks'... I dunno. I keep tryin' to think of what kinda 'stick' would have 200,000 on it and why it'd be smelly.

Went and took 6 trees down to saw into my 8X10 beams for the new quarters. Burned myself on the chainsaw muffler in the process too. Handsome blisters!

 

'Cincy told you'... You're the one that gave me the [censored] in the first place! Said you were done with it because you got a new one!

Someone's always tryin' to give me a bad reputation!

 

No denying it on my part that I gave you the old [censored]. I was done with it in a big way.
As for tryin' to give you a bad name...we all know its past that...we are all trying hard to help you clean it up. Thats why I censored the [censored].

Yeah, thats it. Trying to help a guy out...yeah.

 

'Help a guy out'... just like you helped ol' FiverBobby out? I bet he wasn't expecting a crane to show up when you told him you'd send him a new hedge trimmer!




And I KNOW I wasn't expecting THIS when you said you'd send me a new chainsaw!



Enough 'help' awready!
