Breakroom 1/20 - 1/26
 

Up an at 'em folks. Took it upon myself to start the room up this morning seeing as how no one else is awake. Got the coffee going (unleaded this morning), and some fresh buttermilk biscuits are on the counter.......help yourselves. Hopefully by the time I get home there will be some history here to be learned....uh, Scot, that's your cue buddy!!!

I better get back to work. Later.

I've BEEN up for half an hour. I'd have the history all done if I didn't hafta merge two breakrooms into one. :hehe:

There's more than enough coffee, tea and ph00 for everyone. I'm going to get donuts.

Thanks for the coffee [coffee] just what I needed after helping my dad home at the farm in this -8c weather...brrrr

It is a beautiful day though, clear sky and the sun is shining, good day to sit inside and look out.[laugh]

Those biscuits are good too, dunk dunk mmmm... better now.
Weatherguys are saying the cold will stay for at least a week, maybe a little snow too.
JWBM has your farmer gotten his excavator out of it´s hole??

Hope everybody enjoys their sunday as much as I do, gonna watch a handballgame later, any of you guys know that game?
Got a little cash on it, and a good cold one ready, can´t go bad if you ask me.

Slev

Did you help your dad GET to home at the farm, or help your dad, at home at the farm? [laugh]

It's not really considered a game here but more of a bad habit. Illegal too if you perform it in public places. Some even consider it a sin and say it'll make you go blind if you do it too much! [whistle]

At home at the farm... and that other thing is called pocketpool, not handball...

Slev

i-c

Can't believe Bobby got the jump on me this morning. Better luck next week, maybe. Coffee and pHoO......mmmmmmm!!! Buscuits are quite tasty if I do say so myself. Off to bed.....1 more 12hr shift and I'm done till Thursday!!!

Later folks.

Morning every one ,its cold out I think I will ask the wife to go start the truck (and after I pick my self up off the floor) have some coffee and humble pie .I need a remote start

Morning all y'all. I am just chillaxing with a coffee before the day gets going. Crazy Alberta weather!! When I went to bed last night it was 26F and just the slightest hint of a breeze, by midnight we had 60mph winds and now it is -1F!!! I think Mother Nature is having a temper tantrum.

Ok, time to make breakfast.

Wow, bunches of you awake this AM. Dreampt someone tried to drown my cat last night. Not a good way to wake up from a sound sleep.

While you guys are goodmornin' I'll be goodnightin', lost on my bet on that ballgame...had my money on a danish win by 6 goals and they won by 7 [verymad]So close but no cigar[laugh]

Slev

You know, I bet you could rig up a remote start and disguise it as a block heater. When you go out reach in, turn the key on, unplug it, and you're good to go.

First time I've heard of betting on pocketpool.

The other morning I dreamt I was back driving for Schnieder and pulled into a place with a white daycab instead of an orange condo and went in to see where they needed me, came out, and my truck was three blocks down over a hill in a swamp, and people said I hadn't set the brakes. I woke up about to punch something, what I don't know.

hi



bye

Nope. I hate dreams like that. The other night I dreamed Jake was going bald because he had some kind of doggy gisease. :yikes:

That's it? We go to all the trouble of making a breakroom just for you, and you come in here and do a fly-by? [nonono]

Evening all.

Got the frame, tongue and running gear all assembled for the new sawmill I'm building for a customer. This will be a good'urn too because I learned all the bad things with the first one!
