Howdy from the East Coast.
Coffee pot's beeping that it's ready, dogs have been out (10* on the deck thermometer), paper's in, Wifey still ain't made a move toward the kitchen yet..........

A few things to accomplish, preparations for the "possible" snow we're going to get (maybe) Monday night.
Weather heads saying we have a 50/50 chance of seeing anywhere from nothing to 8" of snow.....how vague can you get for $100,000+ a year.

Y'all stay safe.

Same thing here, 0-6". We must have the same weather guru.

Talk about government dumb, the FAA is now talking about "Pay as you go." or "User Fees" for all aircraft to use their services. Kinda like putting a toll booth every 20 miles on every interstate in the country. Lets put it this way. If it costs you everytime you use something are you gonna use it if you don't have to? Of course not. This will force 100,000 airplanes to stop using the safety features built in to the current air trafic control system. We already pay fees though aviation gas taxes. Our fuel is $4.00 per gallon.

A fine Sunday morning to all,

Sun is up and we are heading to about 78 today. Gee, keep up this heat wave and I might brave a quick dip in the pool. At least it sure is nice reading the Sunday paper out there.

OK, off to church - - checked out the coffee, but no one bothered to fix the "good" stuff - - you know, the Almond Creme. YEH.

Have a great one.

Oh no!! Ain't it a little too early in the season for speedo's?!? Wait till some of the snowbirds go home, for pete's sake! I'm actually drinking some foo foo right now, it's some instant cappichino stuff that I found in the cubbard. Don't tell anyone.

Looks like a nice day today. Hope everyone's is good.

Good breakroom title, Dss!

yaaaaAWWwnn~!

Slept in this AM... felt good too. Gonna hafta get up at 0330 everyday this coming week and next for the 3 hour trip to Detroit everyday. I'm hopin' the snow will hold off for a coupla weeks, but with my luck these will be the two snowiest weeks of the winter.

Drain pipe from the office froze up yesterday. Spent the afternoon running a garden hose with hot water up the pipe to the frozen spot. Finally let go with a nice gush. Must have a low spot in it. Guess I'll be re-laying pipe this spring.

This coffee's kinda weak this AM. Madhat, could ya bring in some of that stuff that you found in your fuel tank? That oughta spice things up a tad!

Gonna sit here an' do nuthin' for awhile, the maybe go out to the pond an' cut a hole in the ice to see how thick it is.

chaikwa.

Mornin' all,
Off to breakfast with the wife (then lunch with the girlfriend).
Today is shopping day. Got to make a Wally World run for stuff to clean up the house for the folks' visit next week. Plus I ain't bought deodorant in a few months, I figure I'll give it another shot.
Since no one wanted to buy my XR-250, I took it to the shop to have it repaired yesterday (blowing smoke out the tail pipe). Can't wait to get it back. Haven't ridden it seriously in about 2 years. Hope I don't kill myself.

~Rob

Nah, I used that stuff to patch a hole in the road infront of my house. Maybe I can use some of this JP5 that I have at home that I am too scared to put in my truck...

It's funny that you say that, I am about to take the wife to the girlfriends house for lunch! It's easier if they know each other, that way you ain't gotta hide it from them.

Watched war of the worlds, caught the last half of it. Pretty good for a Sunday morning. Gonna go wax the truck, then put a bid in on a fence. Had a little PT this am too...

The sun is shining, bit still nippy here. The flying things in the title must be for the lizards. HeHe

Hope to get some work on my cond guard done today if it warms up.

Wife made the coffee this am. Not to bad, I think all that training is paying off. I know I know that's going to hurt.

Have fun and drive safe.
