Afternoon from sunny and hot Alabama.

 

At least they let him "hang around" for awhile after the coup.
Had to look up Oberon. According to the pedia he "is a legendary king of the fairies". Not something I want in my back yard but hey, Im not Chaikwa.
Could be cricket fever. Hope you perk up!!!

Guess you will have to find somebody around here to pick on.

raining again here. sigh. Oh well, could be worse. Could be raining and not have a roof over my head. Gotta remember to look on the bright side

 

Good point.

YOU started it. JERK!

Wow! Almost like a real human, eh?

It's all about the perspective you put it in!

 

Evening DTR

Productive day for me. Got the yard mowed and trimmed, weeded the garden and the planters, and got the garage back in order.

Realxing now

 

Matt!

 

Thats how I felt...like I evolved.

 

SCOTT!




G'night DTR! Got some fresh coffee, tea, sweet tea, and some ph00 ready.

 

Evening all. Well I am officially a full fledged red neck now. Put together a potato gun and had a whoopin hollerin good time!!! Man those things are COOL!!!! Absolute potato carnage!!!

Anyway, just waitin for the call to back up to the pin cushion.

Good to hear that you got her runnin Scott

Scotty good to hear you are closer to being re-evolved

Bla, Great pics!!! There would probably be less of a pain from the govt if you were gonna pump oatmeal or something through those pipes. I'll be all those regulators show up in trucks though don't they...

Mark, with all the help you give out, its no wonder you are a little mal-adjusted. That and living in a furnace will do that to ya. All I can say is that with out you and MANY others on this site I would be in even taller grass than I am right now. Thanks to ALL!!!

Bark - Bright side is always harder to see, but much much better to look at!!! (grandma told me that)

MATT hows the dragon???

You all have yourself a great evening.

 

Not Lazy, Just busier than your hairdresser in a windstorm......

Evenin all!

Finally have a chance to sit a spell and surf a bit. The last few days have been crazy. Work load pretty much doubled this weekend and staffing went the other way. go figure.

The sun is making an appearance again and starting to dry things up a bit. Yard needs mowed but it'll probably wait till I'm off this week.

Made it in to the gym 3 days in a row this week already. Feels good. Summertime up here isn't very conducive to hitting the weights on a regular basis so I've been slacking off a bit, but no more.

Scotty- Good to hear the evolution thing is working out for you.

Hat- Take the truck for a long drive and maybe bring a fishing pole.......

 

Original! Stoopid, but original! (I don't HAVE a hairdresser)
