ok, beer- Alaskan white, for all the rest of you!

 

you know the proper way to act during a tornado right???

 

Oh yeah, fergot to wish you a happy day Scotty! Sorry 'bout that! Hope you had a great day!

I'm thinking new kitchen appliances disguised as your b'day present!

And which ones did you fall off of?
Hope you're having a good time Sis!

 

You had your chance! Call if you like, I'm not answering.

 

Evenin. Nothing to report. Cleaned a lot, got things rollin.

 

For once, we are having weather to make you jealous. Currently in the sixties and no real wind. Perfect.

Hey Sis! Glad you are having fun. Weather is supposed to start clouding up in a day or two and stay that way for awhile. Like I said before, some good light-weight raingear makes summers fun up here because we know its going to rain. PS: Do not ride the Moose, I will explain later.

 

Yes I do. Have gone through it a few times in my travels.

My guess was wrong. LOL
I got a real nice rolling tool chest and the smaller one to go with it.
I also got a new full set of mud flaps for the MEGA Mega.
And yes I did get a kitchen appliance. A new food processor.

Everything is lock down and secured for the rain tomorrow.

My electrician buddy and I are going to wire up the garage tomorrow!

I had an awesome evening. I am lucky.

 

Had some homemade potato salad and hotdogs tonight, cheese filled and angus... mmm... had a few more Killian's, got in the hot tub. Nice and relaxed, it's cold in Yuma.

See ya'll in the am.

 

Good morning from a somewhat dusty Paradise. Another sprinkle last night. The rains are late this year and the mosquito's are becoming Alaska sized.

Happy belated birthday Scotty. You called yourself a lucky guy, but I think a better word could be 'fortunate'.

Heidi, I am jealous of your trip. Enjoy it to the max.

May the rest of you DTRonians have a great day, especially those fortunate to have the day off from the salt mines.

 

Do Pop Tarts go bad?

Morning.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos? And RAP music will be the Golden Oldies.

is ready.

 

I could have gone the rest of my life without that mental picture.

Morning all. Counting down, less than 24 hours to go.

 

Counting down to what? The rest of your life?

 

You keep on and I'll cut one end off your couch.

 

Stan I am lucky to be so fortunate. Or am I fortunate to be so lucky?

Reminds me of a mishap in my twenties where a couch was sliced. Get pix.

 

Oh go ahead. Not much else could go wrong. On my way now to get a new A/C for the office trailer here. Came in this AM to find out the old one had decided to not work anymore. This oughta be fun considering I have no tools here and I'll have to adapt a now smaller window unit to fit into the hole that the old one takes up, which is much larger because it's so old. Did I mention I had no tools with me?
