Its somehow tied in with the whole area 51, Amelia Ehrhardt with Elvis thing. Probably shouldnt talk about it or "they" are gonna start asking questions. I will change the subject to throw them off. Hmmm, looks cold outside.

The first baseman.
OK, (sigh) baby food folks, Toys R Us and lots more give away big bucks to the parents of the first baby of the new year. Man, this is a tough room.
Condolences from here as well Fronty.

Sorry Fronty.
Evenin' all! Had a decent day today. Got the lock fixed on the backdoor. $83 for a new deadbolt. 1.5" backsets are near impossible to get anymore. My old one wasn't repairable anymore either. Used up it's last life last year I guess. Oh well. I played locksmith at -20* and won. Warmed up this afternoon to -10* so I took the kids sledding at the U. They had a great time. They are all old enough now that I don't have to drag them up the hill anymore. That means I had fun.
Blake- good to hear that things are going well. Keep on the program!

Fronty: Gotta know! Uncle (F)Red, was his first name Fred and nickname Red? Maybe a good story behind it. Sounds like a really great guy and am sorry for your loss.
Its either a tough room or its filled with dimwits. Gotta sign off for awhile to get my wife to untie my shoes.

Morning. Grrrr.......
Temp at the house shows 16, one of the local stations says 14. I say it's cold, cold enough to freeze pipes. What a way to start the day.
Paul, sounds like a good day.
