The DTR Breakroom (No frills or flying stuff, just a breakroom) 4.25.10-5.1.10

Got the new one opened. I have a few pots of Crude on the burners, some tea warming, ph00 is ready but it has alot of ********* and ********* in it this time, so watch out. Couple pitchers of my sweet tea and mrs. madhats sweat tea are ready. Don't touch or talk to the donuts, they are on strike this week. Might have to bring in the square donuts for the time being.

Someone close the old breakroom too.

I'd call in some scabs, but these donuts are scabby enough.

Don, hopefully they didn hear you say scab. Those round donuts are mean ones and hate the words scab or square. Worse comes to worse I'll call in the triangle and hexegon shaped donuts

Just toss a couple dragon scales for them to nibble on and they'll go right to sleep.

good to have ya, back- I am sure your truck missed you!

not planning a thing today. rain, but that never stopped us before. always something to do in the barn but just not too ambitious...

not that it is a big deal- but I am NOT having any of Mrs. Mad's sweat tea.
that's just disgusting....

chaikwa, I should just send you my original copy of 'Poor Man's james bond' to read for entertainment purposes only.....
I would like to suggest you plant Beffer's corn No 66. then harvest early and not till. like pungi sticks....still amazed at the incident. beyond little mischief /response of the FD. but it's over, good stuff will come of it I am sure.

Madson, how good a friend is it? you on beer, him with your truck?
watched my stupid adopted older brother get wasted and let any girl take his cars, only to have major damage (if) when they came back. mustang mach 1, lil green hornet, dodge dart 455, lame excuses from the gals he let off the hook- what an idiot......I repaired that stuff right up until the 4th time (70s, when you COULD do it in the back yard). we don't talk much.

Don, enjoy fishin'!! be nice.
just sayin' .....

Thanks guys. We made it safe but our neighbors in Mississippi got hit hard. I think the death toll is at 15 right now, very sad. I'm betting it was an EF4 or 5. We had kids trapped north of us in a mobile home for a while. I think all got out with just minor injuries.

Getting ready to watch the races. Had a great morning with my bride. Just put the groceries away and headed to the kitchen to prep pork chops and corn on the cob for the grill.

No... I just let him borrow the programmer, not my truck. That'll be a cold day in Yuma!
