Like madhat said, you can ignore it but its the truth.

Oh, if you are approached by anybody start yelling and pointing at the sky saying the black helecopters stole my tin hat!! They will usally leave you alone. If they dont leave immediatly tell them you contracted HIV from a badger. It really works!
And he would know!

I don't know why more people don't run when YOU say something like this.

All the doc said was make sure she gets lots of rest to recover from it all.
Good to hear Scotty.

Heidi, was about to send out the Mounties to look for you but I wasn't sure if you had recovered from your last "liaison" with them.

I do not see a numerical value to that definition.


No one knows what is wrong with her Scott. She has had symptoms just like Scotty's daughter only for 6-7 months now. She has been to literally a dozen+ doctors visits with no results just that she has a virus. Grampa went to the last 2 visits and spoke his mind to the doctor(s), now we are going to the children hospital down town to get answers.

Fever is gone. She has the grape pedialite here and lots of juice.
Lots of veggies too. She loves raw veggies.
I prefer my veggies after the cow or buffalo has eaten them and converted it to steak.

Evening Scott. Getting ready for weather here. Looks like just thunderstorms with winds that could go 60 or so. Donning helmet, black though. Mark and I will be ying and yang.

Nice pictures of your job, do you work at some kind of a coal plant or something?
I'll try to get a video of the truck running sometime. It might be a while though.

Yeah i work at a coal fired power plant about a few hundred feet from the southern shore of Lake Michigan. It's old (but not as old as Chaikwa or Claude) and produces about 600 MW.

I'm there early enough I might be able to snap a few interior pics. It's a BIG boiler and some steam turbine units.

MOM! Thanks about the Pete, my friend did a good job on it! I started some seeds indoors a few weeks ago, I have some small mater, pea, and cucumber plants now. Gonna plant the peas soon. I just got my second 4x8 raised bed finished. Gonna do one more that a 4x4.


Mark, I'm surprised Scotty didn't comment on the pictures of your Leggs!

Evening DTR. Not a bad day at work. Been doing some work around the house since I got home. I had to stop at the dealer afterwork for a new dipstick for moms 300. Handle on hers broke off. New dipstick only cost $5 at the dealer, i thought it would be closer to $30!

Mark, bike sounds great and you fit it well. Next week you will want the 1700cc.


Hey Matt,

Great pics of that old Pete, it must have a shiney 290 in it.
We had a fire in a shute in the coal plant in my district, what a pain to get to and put out. Glad thing are well for you.
