Today's thought:
Rap 'music' is like scissors... always loses to rock.

C0ffee and p00p00ph00 is ready. Get to it!

Morning. I'm up. I'm still not adjusted back to the time, but getting there. 430am wake ups don't make me old, right?

Pouring a hot cup of coffee. As much as I enjoyed all the real coffee I had in Italy, mine still tastes the best.

Morning! Finished West Memphis yesterday WooHoo!

I hear ye hear ye here.
[coffee]

OK OK OK - -I am here hearing you. Sheesshsshhhhsshhshhshhshhhh......:o......[laugh]

Gorgeous morning down south but could use some rain. Trying to get settled back into the norm. Microwave blew up just before we left, so spent way too much time redoing the original setup and installing a new one - - sure purdy. Switching the appliances over to stainless and adding new granite or marble tops - - not settled on the choice yet. Then, that is it - - no more changes - - - NONE. NOPE. FORGET IT. Just get that stupid pool resurface done - - - PLEASE. Sick of the green water with alligators swimming in it - - ready for some tameness and order back in my life. ......[duhhh]

Grabbing my ph00 and heading for the ranch - - have a great day.

Bobby

Mornin.

Shorts, good to see ya. 0430 makes you old.... old, old!

Rick, hope you're back at home. How are things? Truck doing ok?

Bobby... I thought retirement meant less work? We've been getting plenty of rain yesterday and today, I'd love to send some your way.

Mornin... hope everyone is well. Didn't win Powerball last night, but some lucky redneck in Florida did!

Mark,I'm still in West Memphis, Arkansas. We finally finished yesterday but are held here until the middle of next week because we have a day project across the Mississippi in Memphis, TN. The wife moved the truck a couple weeks ago but I haven't seen it in 6 weeks. My hands are starting to shake.[redface] (I miss the wife too)[laugh][laugh]

Bob won Powerball? Party at Bob's.


Bite your tongue Mad! Good thing I didn't say I am ready to go to bed at 8pm. Then that would really make the case [laugh]

Hahahahahahaha

The sun finally came out. We broke a lot of records http://www.ktuu.com/news/anchorage-s...,1717592.story

Ah, that's crap... sorry buddy. Money is money, huh? I got over my truck DTs in the AFG when the Navy had 2011 Dmaxes that were deleted... those things were off the hook!
Nah, I think it was in Zypher Hills... it would be something else if Bobby won! I'm ready to go to bed most nights at 9 or so, but the weakness keeps me awake till 1030 or so...

Man, forget that! It's almost June!

Afternooner. :)

Evening all y'all. Going to the city makes me tired!! DW and I had to cancel Mother's Day for her mom and her dad'd 80th birthday party last Sunday evening. We put our 17 yr old dog down last Sunday morning and neither of us felt like going into the city for party celebrations last Sunday evening so we rescheduled to today. So, we went in today, I fixed stuff around the in-law's house for a few hours and we exchanged gifts. DW and I had to stop at the garden center on the way home, so, 6 hour later we are home and we are BEAT!!! I am just glad that tomorrow is a holiday in Canada.

I hope everyone had a safe and healthy weekend.

]:Lary:

MAKE ME I DARE YOU:evillol:

Maybe next time one of us DTRers will win it all.

And I won't ask about your weakness. [laugh]
