Good morning DTRoinians. Life is good here, birds are singing, building nests, springs rains are filling up the ponds after 8 years of drought. Kinda nice to see things wet for a change.

 

Morning Geico, what happened to your avatar? I liked the cave dude, he was so happy looking.

 

Morning all, got good storms coming in trying to make a frog strangler, and I need to drive 200+miles through it today. At least the sun isn't going to bake me on the trip. I wonder if our drought is finally over. (nahhh). In Big Spring we get about 14" a year of rain, you don't want to be there the day 10 of it comes.

CHAIKWA- man you are in a good mood, funny, funny comments ...

gotta fix a blown steering line on the log grapple/tractor- lost all 10 gallons of fluid...hope the DEC doesn't trapse through..
FINALLY screwed up the courage to put front suspension on the little mercedes....did NOT like the thought of messing with that coil spring but,
it's gotta get done. then all the fixes on it are complete.
Son coming home from college today (puppy chew toy!!) and he already has a dinner order in: meatloaf, salad, mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy.
Got electric company going to hook up a temp service for the property on the ST Lawrence river, finish dock and middle level stairs, then PLAY TOM SAWYER and float the excavator down river to the lower level to prepare the site for a 30 x 40 metal building/boat house. that's when get a LOT of friends to bolt together all the 2 and 3 foot panels......beer and bbq...
today is a swimming day too, so I better get outta here and buy hydraulic fluid to start the projects!!!!!!

CIN- plenty o' Krispie Kreme raspberry doughnuts to you for keeping an eye on the grumble-bum janitor!!! swat him, just like his doughnut pets, and he will scamper away....

take care all, MADHAT- all the best, no worries mate!
Heidi

 

Morning folks. Sounds like it's been pretty eventful. Wondered why I had the urge for a couple drinks the other night, happy late bday to the DTR barkeep. Cin, no raspberry bizmarks since the armistice. Been getting the urge myself though... might have to provoke the german navy into something soon.

Spent half the night trying to get a pitman arm off an s10. Don't know why I persisted, I knew I'd be paying somebody to do it today. Missed a whole night of "The Office". Anybody that loves GM, doesn't work on thier own vehicles.

Janitor get his dog yet?

 

Heidi, Thank you! Man that sounds good! We are keeping you in line Chaikwa,hehehe. I am getting some raspberry donuts. Where are you looking ?Your looking in the wrong spot. I will give you one of mine . Here ya go.Only 1 though.hehe

 

Mornin' all,

70*F mostly cloudy in Houston, Chance of Tstorms better chance tonight. AKPaul, you might get a few hours of aboove freezining this weekend, get your shorts and teeshirt ready.

Missed roll call hear yesterday, That Norton dude said Toshiba needed a full scan. It took 3:47 to do it. Oh well got it running faster. Got laundry done when that was going on. Only got on for a few min yesterday.

good NAVY stuff. Anybody seen Pistol?

CIN, don't have any raspberry donuts, but did have a couple of toasted bagels with creamed cheese and RASPBERRY JAM. I'll share.

Wannabe, get the Hat to bring some swabbies to get training exercises floating the excavator down river, and putting up the building.

MadHat, good luck with all the exams. Don't worry they won't hit your brain. If you lose your voice I still remember a few cuss words in ASL. The hearing impaired community can cuss as was as anyone. I have several friends that are hearing impared. Fun bunch.

Duallydog, enjoy the rain. No sun in the eyes and keep the dust down on the hiway.

Geico, good avatar, caveman was almost as good.

Chaikaw seems in a good mood, and complaing about women ganing up on him. Use a tootpick and fight them off. Call JBJarkco for help.

Shortround, tuff day?

Shovehead, you might have an easy day, TGIF.

Might be a fun weekend , Going with wife to the AGC crab feed tonight and BBQ tomorrow.l If I get to ride the camel will get pix and post. Any construction people in the Houston area going?

Got some rounds to do today. Walk up, meet wife, and go to lunch and make the rounds.


Have a good un and be safe out there.

 

Morning all. Super busy at work, however, I thought I'd stop in and say hello. Take care, and I'll see you all this evening.

 

What're ya talkin' about??? I'm ALWAYS in a good mood, everyone just thinks I'm a grumbly, crotchety, complainin' janitor~!

Ahhhh! So last nite was your last nite of uninterrupted sleep! Thanks Heidi!

Suuuure Cin, I TRY to do something nice, (ketchup filled donuts), and you're STILL pickin' on me! See if I pick 'em up off the floor an' put 'em back in the box again!

Afternoon is ready.

chaikwa.

 

busy here. brought pup to work for last day - should be able to be alone with a bowl of water next week - 6 weeks

 

Hi again. Finally finished up all my orders for them morning body shop crowd. I think one body shop ordered an entire 300, not even kidding. I got frame rails, X-members, everythinnnng....why it wasn't totalled is beyond me. I'm thinking some dirty mexican food for lunch...ohhhh yea.

 

How's everyone dooin? Good, from the looks of things. Just made my first (legal) pistol purchase this afternoon. Glock model 23, .40. $486.00. I'll post pics later. Gotta go get a tube shoved up my nose. See ya'll in a bit...

 

Hat, you guys at PI need to make the Marine version of that recruitment video and add it to the end.

 

This is for you Mr.Coffee man, you put ketchup in my donut and never even felt bad about it . You say you are being nice,i hear ya snickering in the background.
Wanna,can you send the puppy to me? I'll teach it to bite his ankles .
Davey, hmmmm that sounds pretty tastey. Thank you!

 

congrats pistol, I know what an accomplishment it is to push yourself to do 20 years in the Navy. I have been in for 6 years almost, and I have two months left. I am looking forward to being able to see my wife, and go to school. In an organization where nothing is ever good enough, and you can never have too little liberty, and have to listen to officers that are only in charge of you because they were fed with a silver spoon their whole life, and their parents had the money to send them to college, it is hard to make it. Well, that's my navy rant for the day. how is everybody else?
