hey Baby boomers! very precious!!! lots of hugs to them!

good to hear from ya big scotty! easy does it on the mental stuff. do what feels good

back from the property. little 4 hp push mower did great, we leave it at one level, for better mowing. mowed the road, driveway and just looked at the snow on the third level. good enough for us! 30 degrees but sunny, angle of the sun had me moving to the shade. beautufl to sit and watch the perfect blue river.

weird about ravens, very intelligent birds/mammals. we delat with thousands of wired geese. all settled on the water, then everyone up and flyign south. for a few hundred yards. sheesh.

glad to hear your progress Claude! pics right? hope Don got a deer.

OK - - on the roof? You are strange. Wife and I were remembering our time in North Pole. Had fun around there and in Tok. Actually went to Chicken while there - - wow, what a place. They had big fires the year before - - lots of black acreage - - sad looking.

OK, choir practise is over for this night - - we record on Friday and Saturday night. And Bobby has the solo in the lead song on the CD - - wow - - maybe I could head for Las Vegas. Well, on second thought, think I will head for bed. Getting up early in morn so I am out of here.

Evening all.

Good to see you Scotty and glad the arm is better!

Ravens aren't magnificent, they're evil. Elders used to tell us that they are the spirit of all things bad. Crows too.

Well, we left Mass this afternoon around 3PM and now we're in Geneva NY at the shore of Lake Seneca, largest of the finger lakes. 36 miles long and 618 feet deep at the deepest point. Leave in the morning and hopefully be back in Michigan by dark.

Sorry I didn't call you back today Heidi. Things got busy and I forgot. Went to a presentation this morning about the great Lynn Mass fire of 1981, my first big one after being appointed to the FD. Well worth it, it was a great presentation.

What's everyone upta tonite?

chaikwa.

ya know... every now an then you find a redeeming feature in a hotel...

I asked for a glass of red wine to take back to my room and relax while working. the hotel is dead tonight, the kitchen was closed, no bar. Well the guy on duty couldn't find a clean glass, so he poured me about a 1/2 of a craft of wine... Oh, this is gonna hurt in the morning...

Exactly. Hate them birds. They get into the trash, spread it all over crap on you truck and just generally are an annoyance. And they're protected. Spirit bird for the native tribes up here. Souls of their ancestors .

Oh, they also fly into power transformers and take out the power grid.......


Evenin' All!

It's Friday for me. I have 9 hours to go..... Fresh pot is sitting in the reactor. Should have a halflife or at least ttonight.

Hey all, Just checked in, MMMM Nummm Nummm Nummm, good sammys heidi. Thank ya!!!! Oh ya almost forgot, the only thing better than pushing a lawn mower is watching someone else do it!!!!

Claud, we wont appreciate your work if you don't post before, during and after pics. Kinda like matt's farmall!!!

Matt, keep on keepin on, ya know the little engine that could. We all have faith in ya, you'll get it.

Mark - time to move on to the 24 oz - no slouching, gotta keep things advancing. One, two, three, pour. New can - Repeat.

Mr. Instigator - Your mind is like the pure driven snow, only slightly drifted!!!!

Chaikwa - Glad your back where you belong, the locals were starting to get unruly.

Rick - I still hate you. You are guilty as charged and headed for the gallows.

Oh and Crows ARE evil. When digging beets they all hover around behind the digger waiting for mice to scatter across the open ground, then they all pounce and rip the little buggers to pieces. Kinda fun to watch actually!!!
