Wow this a month straight for the breakroom. You all are slacking.

It is officially Sunday monerning EST. So how many of you guys have given up on those resoultions already? Coffee is started, first time I have made it in this odd machine so bear with me. Might not be any left before you all get up anyway.

 

Easy for you guys to start these things when you have hours worth of advantage on us West Coast guys.


I should start my West Coast Diesel, Blue Eyed Brunette and Turkey Lovers Thread when it turns Midnight in Korea. That'll teach you.

 

FONTY! Good buddy, we butt heads again! been to DFW and west, down to San Antonio and have to say that THE BEST Bar B Que comes from memphis!!

where folks are folks and will have the greatest conversations with ya over piled high, beef or pork that comes in as many flavors as there are tastes!

walking down Beale Street with a fresh brewed ice cold, root beer--- man, this don't get any better.....

I still have fresh crawdads from louisiana and memphis pulled pork sent for my mardis gras party. I feel SO strongly on this, I will send you a two pounder just to prove it. sending food to MADHAT would be a waste of time as he just inhales food, no tasting allowed......so no third party taster needed!

got the same bunch of guys here STILL, only husband seems to have gone to bed. man's man, early to rise- eat and sleep for the wise!
now I have to seperate the football guys from arguing while the poker guys are high money silent.........

my Sunday morning looks like I am cooking breakfast AGAIN!! sure wish
Davey (DSSMECK?) was here to help cook. Rick sent me a pic of crock pot roast that had you "smelling-the-computer" good! we have to do a RICK'S FOOD TOOLBOX thread for all the single guys/ bad cooks......oh man, where's those leftover subs....

 

Morning y'all!

On here, the DTR, because I'm addicted, can't sleep, or both.

Thank goodness chaikwa's coffee isn't on yet . One would never sleep with the pine tingling heartburn.

 

Hi all,

Spitfire good you are up and getting the breakroom going.
Breakrooms in clean and quiet so far. Where and fresh donuts

House is quite, wife and grandkids in bed, Week of work and school caught up with the wife, she went to bed early and snuggled up to a heating pad. Something wrong with that picture.
Doggies snoring. Not much happining right now. Talked to son that lives in Kirkland WA. They had another wind storm. Did not lose power this time. Last big storm was without power and phone for almost a week. Guess all the weak trees have allreddy ben blowed down. . He now has a standby generator. Eletric blankets dot; keep you toasty warm with no power

Been checking airlines for a May trip to Sunriver OR. Long way, and no direct flights. Might have to just go in to Portland and drive down.

Morning wannabe, not sure what is on the breakfast menu for Sunday, this mornig it was bacon, scrambled eggs, biscuits, and grits and . Sorry you missed it.

Prolly be grilled ham slices and waffles on Sunday. Yum, thinking of something for a midnight snack now. Hot chocolate and cinnimon toast should hold me till breakfast.


pot reddy for monin' time, so time to jump into bed, cover up my head and close my beady eyes,

Sweet dreams all. C U in the mornin'.

 

Woke up to rain. Creek is doing what it is supposed to now. For a while. I thought I was going to have to put fairwater and stern planes on the truck just to get around.
In the cave early this morning. Trying to finish up the lesson plans for training the guys down south. Teaching cannon cockers grunt stuff makes for an interesting day. They just don't seem to get it. You cannot sprinkle them with holy water and make the sign of the cross and bingo, they're trained. Gonna have a "come to jesus" meeting with their commander as soon as I hit the ground. If things are as they appear, one O-3 is gonna have a statement of charges to the tune of $200K+ to worry about.
731 days to MRD (mandatory retirement date), if I don't chunk the keys on the bosses desk first. 40 years, 3 months, 27 days is enough. By the end of the first year of retirement, everyone will think Scott and I are kin folk.

Shortround out

 

Mornin all,

Time to rise and shine, That is what the two doggies told me, so they can go out and do doggie things, and chase the squrils.
Got , havent chased down and captured a donut, so almost time to fix breakfast, gettin' hungry.
If it don't rain today, it will be wash truck again, patriot blue sure showes the dirt, just from the roads.
Job jar has a put a study lamp together for the prudent student wife.
No bib projects, like FiverBob who works toooooo hard sometimes, fixing shark and lizard cages etc.Wonder if he is relaxing on the patio drinking foo-foo coffee.
Sure glad these post don't get graded on speling or content. I'd flunk

Have a goodun and be safe out there.

 

Heavy, poisonous fog this morning. The kind that puts you to sleep. Good thing I caught that big pot hole which almost took the wheel off or I'd have dozed off. Too tired to contend with the native donuts, so I got a box instead. Coffee's just what the doctor ordered.

Shortround, if those guys can't figure thier jobs out, you can threaten to ship them my way. I need some wood split and some ditches dug.

 

Howdy SR, good to see all's "normal" in your neck of the woods.

Pups are up, been out, and are looking for a warm spot to nap.
Leftover snausage-n-egg biscuits washed down witha couple of cups of fresh, hot, strong coffee.
We hit a record 72 degrees here yesterday.
It looks like the cool, wet stuff is pushing the summer weather out for the start of the week.

Not too much on the gotta do list.
Hoping to take it easy, and start the week off right.

Y'all stay safe,

 

(out of breath) well if I can't catch one of those donuts I'll just grab something to eat on the way to the roping this morning. Going to be interesting for me, I'm not taking a horse 1. I only brought the ones I'm training on and I want a controlled environment for them a few more times before I through them to the low number ropers and "who knows what they'll do" steers. And 2. I still have a truck loaded with hay, so I can't even hook up to the trailer. So we'll see if I can borrow a horse that's worth anything down there.

Gotta love this global warming stuff.

 

okay, breakfast for those awake served (ham, french toast, and I just set coffee and such out) cowboy fans are really lame and I guess someone might be working overtime with the hushed poker game comments (hey morning! how 'd your game go last night? mmmphfph....)

no takers on helping me do chores, so hubby and I are off to split up the last logs of the first load for firewood. soooo nice in January to be doing that!!
we have 95 acres of money wood- black walnut, cherry, high oak, cucumber, tulip, bird's eye maple, tap tree maples.. not something you want to cut and burn. we buy usually two truck loads of logs (about 50 logs or so) for 500 bucks cash. same company that will log our land, so we do get a good deal I believe.

OKAY! FIVERBOB has been nice and sent us warm weather. WE are going to be nice and send some rain out to the plains, howzat?!

SHORTROUND!!! Holy Smokes Good man!! 40 years in ANYTHING and you are an institution. after you retire- would you still be able to (use the bathroom *ahem) without an order???? God Bless to you and yours!!

 

I was thinking about a load here too. One load- 10 coards- $650. Not bad, not great. Split and delivered has been $50 a rick. I found a guy that has seasoned maple for that price at least. This summer I plan to pull a couple permits for state land and secure some of my own though. The mild weather is keeping prices down at the moment, but with all the new boilers springing up everywhere, wood will be getting expensive. I may have to retire early and go into the firewood business with the janitor.

 

Close....after 40 years he BELONGS in an institution.......

 

Good morning to everyone from Paradise. Another boring, fantastic day here, but will not make you jealous you with the facts.
On my second cup of coffee, made by me. Had to have to coffee to wash down a snack of banana and Honeybran. Getting ready to go to church and after that a bunch of us will be adjourning to our favorite restaurant for a Mexican brunch. Getting hungry just thinking about this.
Spent all yesterday way out in the country in a community that does not have much. Most of the men are in the states trying to earn some money to feed their families as there is just no work in that area. We finally received the boxes from Samaritins Purse (operation Christmas Child) and together with a couple of churches were able to distribute them. If you are interested in learning more, check out http://www.samaritanspurse.org/
It is difficult to explain as you need to be there, but the expressions on the poor kids faces when they open their own box of gifts is heart wrenching. For the majority of the kids, this will be the only gift they receive. For those of you who have contributed to this operation a huge THANK YOU. You have no idea the good you have done with the small gifts you placed in each box. May even more of you get involved. You may think it is nothing, but to folks who have almost nothing, it is the world. Thanks again.
