Ill do that...

Take some more...... I'll gladly share.


Evenin' All!

Friday night in the big house. 11 hours to go and I haven't had a major incident on my watch. Nice. I do have a good crew under me though. Makes a big difference.

70* with sun and smoke out there today. Pretty decent.

My Mom used to say I was special. Now she says I am too old to be hers.
What kind of beer goes with brownies?
Another long day but I am not sure what I did to make it so long. This weekend I am going to do nothing except go through two months of mail.
ofcmarc: its supposed to rain here tomorrow. Hope some of it goes a few hundred miles up to where you are at. Time for bed. Tonight I am going to take my shoes off and put on my Pink Panther PJ's. If I do my Inspector Clouseau impersonation for the wife I might get lucky. Later

Mornin' All!

Here's a photo from just after a T-storm last night.

The DTR sludge breakroom!-photo.jpg

Good looking day out yesterday. T-storms are showing up in the evenings.

I pushed the button on the coffee reactor. Should make the sludge a bit more chewy today. It'll stay with you longer that way.

Wow, you are all heart, Marc. Horrible stuff. Hey, kicking around heading back up your way next spring. We will see what happens.

Been out this morning cutting down more palms that have given up the ghost from the freeze. I still have 8 more in question. Wow, disheartening. They were looking sooooo good. Three sets of triple Christmas palms, one is gone completely, the other two do not look good, plus two of my Fox Tail palms. Oh well, what is money?

OK, fresh ph00 is down - - (couldn't handle that nuked stuff, Marc) - - grabbing my cup and back out to win some more wars. See ya later,

Not sure off the top of my head, but I know I've had a beer that goes good with chocolate before.

Bob... sorry about your palm trees. I am a palm family fan, love almost all of them.

Mornin, DTR. Made some REAL coffee, the stuff that wears an eye patch and skull bandanna, made out of real skull.

The OL's cat almost bought it again last night. I hope he calms down, my wife loves him, I'd hate for him to fall up the stairs I don't have...

Off to PT. We're gonna all get together, I'm going to do what I can.
