Time to get up people, it's past 0730. We can't expect to meet our quotas and accomplish our goals if we don't get at it soon!

cincydiesel

We are up.. Some of us actually have jobs to go to. We're not old and retired like you!!

Totallyrad

Blah blah blah blah

Been unable to get on here because of our unreliable AT&T Uverse (lack of) service.

Bark, sounds like you might want to try a lower gear, like 3rd maybe.

Heidi, go ahead. I still have the box with the return address on it. I'll send you something that will be a BIGGER hit than the BO sign.....tic tic tic tic click.

chaikwa

I'm not old OR retired, and I know you have no job to go to. So quit making excuses and start doing whatever it is that Top hired you to do!

Is that like yada, yada, yada?

cincydiesel

And what would that be?

chaikwa

How the heck would I know? It's been so long since you've actually done anything, I doubt Top even knows anymore!

cincydiesel

And to think I haven't even filled out a W-2 yet.

Justwannabeme

eek. could not tell if "that" were women. and i worked in max security men's prisons with segregated 'imposters'. got to agree about madhat's wal mart pics...if they are out there, they will show up at wal mart.

smooth orange chocolate is a German treat, not the commercial candy stuff sold at stores. this stuff comes from a family store 16 generations of chocolate makers from the old country . awesome and still going strong. I make the 240 mile trip every year.

Scott, why so much wood? didya get to use the tree guys' chipper for the limbs? came back from the FIL to get our scaffolding and saw the (8) 40 inch or better cherry logs still sitting around. shame to waste.

50 degrees here is enough to go for a harley ride, then hike a trail. wonder for the soul! slowed down the eager workers to make everything safe. feel so much better now. phone call from town highway guys; they are fixing some water flow problems to my land and giving me the dug dirt, just doesn't get any better!!!

Happy Bday madson!

T rad, R U sure you want to go there? muh ha ha.............

Not here, it's only 7:24.
On my 3rd cup of jo and it's finally starting to kick in.

FiverBob

And note where he is playing it - - in the old folks home. Does he live there???

OH my goodness, Don - - you have changed to the better since the last time I saw you - - looking good, man. That is you - - right????

Out as soon as I could see the ground this morning and back on my thatching of the side yard under the oaks. Mercy, this was the year for the major crop of acorns and falling leaves. It is just plain killing my grass, so the time had come to try and save the rest of the grass and get that stuff out of my thick lawn. Fourth day of doing this and still only half done. Mercy my arms and hands hurt. I have 14 bags of heavy acorns, leaf something - - don't whether to call it mulch or what, but it sure is heavy and just mats the ground. Waste collector is going to have a hernia when he starts to lift them suckers - - they are heavy. Hopefully the grass will start to come back in.

OK, off to lunch. See ya.

Bob

That just adds to the mystery and allure!

Cleaning up and re-configuring the woodlot. No chipper... yet. When I want it I will take it!

Afternooner all.

Totallyrad

You started it.......... I'd call the RCMP and let them know you were headed their way if I thought you wouldn't enjoy it.

cincydiesel

And dont forget all those people on Craigslist who are willing to do all kinds of favors for the right price..
