Watercooler/Skuttlebutt - Sept. 24 thru 30

Good Morning DTR.

Just got it at 0330 from working in the shop.

Time to catch a few Zzzzs and then get packed for a trip to Fairfield Texas for the week.

Y'all stay safe and keep the shiny side up.

Sunday moning, up @ 0500 with the dogs, Min-Pins walked, paper read, morning news watched, on cup-o-coffee number 3.
Rain in this afternoon's forecast.
Almost time to start weed-whacking & cutting grass.
(Payback for the noisy "Animal House" neigbors that came home at 3:30 this morning and woke us up with the slamming doors, hollering, and the car alarm that went off)
Wish I had some Jack Hammering to do..............

Ya'll enjoy what's left of the weekend.

Mornin' all.
Looks like a nice day here today. Had some (alot) of rain yesterday. Of course, we were at the deer lease working on stuff during the big deluge. Oh well, we really need it.
Speaking of the deer lease, I have a question: Is it wrong to moon your buddy's game camera? (I hope not )
Going to take the wife to breakfast and then go to Bass Pro Shops (last week's trip got cancelled).

Later,
~Rob

Not at all, in fact I enquorage people to do things like that to the security cameras I have located around this mountain top. That gives me some really cool pictures I can pass around town to all their buddies at the lodge With a little creative photo shop work your buddy should be able to make that photo appear as though you are doing FAR more than just mooning the camera....


Good way to become famous in a hurry

Well, just rolled into Corsicana, TX after a 270 mile drive. Smooth trip w/ only 3 accidents in Dallas (at 11:00 pm) to maneuver around. Time for some more Zzzzs and then off to work in the AM.

Sleep well.

WAKE UP DTR!!

Where's a real trash can when one needs it?!?!? This little plastic thing in the hotel room wouldn't wake anyone up if I threw it!!

The Janitor hasn't checked in yet this week so you're stuck with hotel instant coffee. IV drip started.

It's gonna be a long week today. No word from the office yet about how the system conversion went over the weekend. Guess I'll have to go find out for myself.

Stay safe and try not to stress about things over which you have no control {yeah, right}.

I'm in Massachusetts now for the next 3 weeks. There are more people, houses and cars here everytime I come back. There were as many cars on the highway here at 2AM as there are during 'rush-hour' back in Michigan. I was born and raised here, but it ain't home anymore!

I never sleep that well out here, so the coffee should be ready bright and early every mornin'! (just givin' ya sumpthin' to look forward to! )

Gets kinda funny when Chaikwa's stressin'. That left eye gets twitching so fast it blows out his pipe like a fan....

Just wrapping up a couple weeks off. Not much of a vacation. Went through some vehicle issues. Finally got some fishing in Saturday and Sunday. Fished with a few guys from the Fly tying forum. Some from down state, a couple from W.Virginia. and Ohio. ALso started building a wood boiler stove last week. Should be done soon and I'll get some pictures. Back to the coffee.

Bout time you came out of hiding. The coffee has been terrible. Even with bristles in it tis better than this stuff.

Rain finally stopped, still cloudy with some sun peaking in once in a while. Now, maybe I can get out and find that elk herd late this afternoon. Pretty country.

Have fuf,

Bob

'Fuf'? What's 'fuf'? Sounds like you've been having a little TOO much 'fuf' down there! Either that or a little too much of that foo-foo coffee!

You are right about that! Your coffee doesn't!

Not that you are out of town I'll be making the coffee. There is no need for you to worry, I'll make it better than you and I'll get named Senior DTR Janitor.

(I smell a coop in the making)
