Hmmmm, your welcome home and then the roll is kinda giving me a mixed message. OK, it's Christmas, so will ignore any bad vibes.

Lary, never taken notice, but it is possible that these ads are appearing when I am not logged in. Now that I know this, will take note in future.

Thanks to everybody who has welcomed me back. Will try to pop in here a bit more often in future. You guys can figure out if that is a threat or a promise. Got the mighty Cummins roaring again. As expected, it fired up like it had only been shut down for 15 minutes. Oil pressure came up immediately. Tested the batteries individually before connecting them and one is down to 11.75 volts. The other one was 12.75 as usual, so hope that this is not indicative of a future problem. They are Sears batteries, only 2 years old and have a 8 year warranty.

 

Howdy Shorts, Lary, Scott, sherod, Scotty, cougar, railroaderone, Chrysreyn and any of you other good people

That's funny. I always think of Denmark as being covered with snow during the winter.
Probably from reading Hans Christian Andersen stories like The Snow Queen.

Hope you have a good Christmas Slev.


I think he was just showing you how happy we are you made it back.

-Very nice to have you back on this continent. I never feel quite right unless I can walk home from where ever I am.
-The excess baggage deal is amazing. Never heard of it before.
I always figured they were just gouging us for as much money as they could but for them to not take it at all is wild.
-I am still not ever seeing any ads unless I forget to log in.
I am just running widows 7, ie explorer 11 and Microsoft security essentials and Secunia PSI (free version).
Weird.

Some times I can't sleep because I worry about my wife figuring out that her Mom was right.
She really could have done a lot better than me.

Lary - - I keep everything UTD as much is possible. I use IE 11 and update it automatically as does the antivirus. I did locate a file that had downloaded somehow for that Webexp Enhanced and deleted it. My antivirus highlighted it as unknown and possibly dangerous but I just found that today, so have not tested it much yet. I did not the words in your post were no longer colored and underlined. We will see. Thanks.

Bob

 

Stan that is the Happy Roll as in all is good in the world

 

Great! In that case will take all the Happy Rolls I can get. Thanks.

 

Happy rolls... I have lots of them around my middle. Until now I've thought of them as 'love handles'.


It's Tuesday, December 24th.

Today's thought:
I want to lie down on the grass, rest on something living and see if I can hear the dead underneath.


C0ffee's on. Ph00 t00.

Think of B0b & Family today.

 

Good morning sniffers. Ph00 is on and smells wonderful. Gotta pour one.....................................Hey, not bad..............

Hope all is well with everyone and plans are coming together for a great day tomorry. We will be out at the ranch with the daughter and SIL and kids. That will be a relaxing day getting away and enjoying time with all of them.

OK, off to get breaky. Have a gudurn.

Bob

 

Good morning on this fine Christmas eve. Is it still Christmas EVE if I am up before the sun comes up?

Snagged a cuppa ph00. Not bad, thanks Bob. It goes well with the gingerbread cookies that I am dipping into it. Left some more gingerbread cookies on the counter for you early risers. If there are none left by the time you get here, too bad. Either you got up too late or the janitor gobbled them all. Maybe the dragon likes cookies and he/she ate them. Never did figure out if the breakroom dragon is a male or female.

Read today's thot. Thot and thot about it and am with Bob. HUH? Scott, care to elaborate on this for us simpletons?

Family coming today for Christmas dinner. The family tradition here is to have it on the 24th, which then allows each individual family to then go out and do their own things together.

Still suffering a bit of jet lag, but today so far feel that I am finally getting my act together.

Going back to the advertising here. Signed in or not, I still see advertising. Now that I am back in Mexico, the advertising is in Spanish. While I was in China, it was in Chinese.

Boy, the breakroom sure is dead. I remember the days when by now there would be many more pages than just a mere 3 pages filled by now. What happened?

 

You sure got that wrong about one out of three christmases are white around here, sometimes we get snow later in winter, but often it just dissappears in a day or two.
You all have a merry christmas.

Slev

 

Morning yall.

Howdy BarkBark.

 

Greetings and Salutations from up here eh.
Went from -35 with a windchill of -50 up to -7 in less then 12 hours.
Gonna be near freezing up here. Perfect Christmas weather.
HO HO HO

 

It's an abstract thought for deep thinkers.

I'm Bewildered is what happened. I don't think people want to wade thru all the junque and wait forever just to have a blank page or an error message show up on their screen. I have to run all kinds of pop-up managers and ad blockers just to keep the aggravation time to a minimum, and it still isn't great. I've heard all kinds of explanations as to why this or that happens but the bottom line is that no other site has the issues I have with this one.

 

Are you implying that you are ............. oh, never mind.

 

Stan , he's implying that he is. ....... Abstract ......... A mental piccaso....
Welcome home and merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS DTR!!!!!!!

 

is that the nice way of saying he couldn't be more scatter brained with shotgun blast to the head?
