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.

 

Not a bad Idea, the dragon is shedding so I can get a few scales.

 

G'night DTR

 

Mornin, fellas...




I'm glad I own a kegerator. Guess I'm a bad example...

 

Well, Hat, next weekend I get to stay up and drink. Gonna do alot of fishing too. I did finally get to putting a hurt on some Oberan Ale Thursday night. Good stuff, actually made right down the road from Chaikwa.

 

Dragon scales? You're weighing the dragon?

Morning

Quiet around here. Dad was gone early this morning. Nothing much to do. Might grill me a lil steak this afternoon. I need a new pair of steel toes, might go pick up a pair.

 

Morning,

Leaving the ice today on my way back to the states, good to see the truck again

 

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' .....

 

Got it.

I say we bring in a car load of donut ho's............I mean holes. That ought to shake up the scabs.

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.

 

Her tea is disgusting?

No... I just let him borrow the programmer, not my truck. That'll be a cold day in Yuma!
That's scary. Glad they're ok.

 

Mornin' all!

Been workin on the house this weekend. Got some more interior paint done and more electrical fixtures/switches replaced/updated.
Gonna drag out the hose in a bit and wash the van and the truck since the weather is nice.
