Good morning gang.

I'll be short this morning. I'm posting from my phone. Because my computer at work has no network connection. Seems we had an update last night that didn't go so well.

We have rain on and off today with a cool down taking affect. Low temps today and through the weekend.

I will post my usual things later today.

Chào buổi sáng

Good Morning CGs!

Yes, it is my day off. Yes, I am up at 5:50 in the morning. Wife had me get up to take RR#2 to the bathroom and that was it for me. Wide awake.

It started raining here around 7:30 last night and apparently it hasn't stopped since then. Not just sprinkles, either, some pretty significant rainfall. I was supposed to go to RR#1s school today to chaperone at the diabetes fundraiser walk but the rain contingency plan was walk in the gym and the parent volunteers aren't necessary. Guess I will run around and do some errands.

Good luck with the computer, Mike.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Everybody, sing along time.

Hidey-ho! It's a balmy 46, and that's about as good as it's gonna get. And windy and drizzly to boot. But at least the weekend is in sight.

Enjoy your Friday, Gurus!

Morning guys...stayed up late to watch my Royals pull another one out in extra innings. Now I got to get going.....

Fall clean up and maintenance is in full swing with plenty left to do. Yesterday was a mulch day and today is more of the same. We have some big mulch areas. Yesterday I spread 85 25 gallon buckets of mulch. Have about that many more to do today. 85 buckets fills up the box truck and an S-10. (The S-10 can haul 12 at a time.) The good thing is once that it's done I get a 6 month break before I have to do it again. I'm trying to hit everything hard now so I can have an easier November and December. I have the house nursery to clean up, wash the house, carport and patio down, pressure wash the walkways and tortoise pen area and more. That's enough to keep me busy for awhile right there. Then I'll think about what to do next. People used to ask me "Don't you think you'll get bored in retirement?" Simple answer, NO! Funny thing. People always ask me if I can come over and help them with there place. Simple answer. NO! Have a gureat day gurus. There's work to be done

What Brad said only its 42 degrees here....geez here comes winter....

I also stayed up for the Royals and was happy they pulled it out. I like the Angles also but its the new lions against the old lions and KC has a variety of kids that can get it done.....

Today is DNBFS for me so I will work out in the shop...enjoy your day Guru's.....

Speaking about DNBFS, a shout out to BillH.


Hello, BillH.

CLEAR AND COOL THIS MORNING, THE SUN WILL SHINE ON THE NATIONS. GOT ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF OF RAIN YESTERDAY, WHICH WAS NEEDED.

THE FOG HAS LIFTED FROM THE EYE, WISH IT WOULD LIFT FROM THE BRAIN :-)

Cool down here 95.
This will make it great for the school carnival tonight 4-7. Will be a long day.

For GRIS ;-)

Word of the Day Friday, October 03, 2014

hempy \ HEM-pee \, adjective;

1. Scot. mischievous; often in trouble for mischief.

Origin:

Hempy comes from the late Middle English word hempi , which meant "made of hemp." This is thought to be a dark joke about one being fit for hanging by a hemp rope, and, by attenuation, mischievous.

Today is NATIONAL TECHIES DAY

National Techies Day is celebrated annually on October 3.

Techies Day was launched in 1999 by Techies.com and it was co-founded by CNET Networks. The day was created to encourage students to learn more about a career in technology and to address the nationwide need for qualified technology workers and to recognize the contributions that tech professionals make to education.

There is always a need for skilled technology professionals.

Take a “techie” out to lunch today!

Happy National Techies Day!

WORLD SMILE DAY

World Smile Day is celebrated on the first Friday in the month of October every year. The idea of World Smile Day was coined and initiated by Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Worcester, Massachusetts. Harvey Ball is known to have created the Smiley Face in 1963. The World’s first World Smile Day was held in the year 1999 and has been held annually since.

After Harvey died in 2001, the “Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation” was created to honour his name and memory. The slogan of the Smile Foundation is “improving this world, one smile at a time.” The Foundation continues as the official sponsor of World Smile Day each year.

Unfortunately, too many people see only the need for "techies" and have forgotten that this country is founded on skilled labor. Not enough young people are going in to the field of skilled trades such as machinists, welders, mechanics, etc.

Went grocery shopping the other day and the meat department had some deals we couldn't refuse. One was marked down cracked pepper encrusted smoked bacon. Another was St Louis Style precooked barbecue sauced ribs. These actually are excellent. Better than restaurant ribs. I meant to go back and buy out what they had but ...... forgot. Another deal was on pork loin tenderloins. They were all at prices we couldn't say no to. Never mind the fact that we have plenty of meat in the freezer. Now we just have more. Eating meat is something we love albeit a guilty pleasure. We love animals but they taste so dayum good.

Shocking revelations Tommy.....I can't imagine what your pet pigs would think if they knew......wow.....did I tell that we had a new Dickey's BBQ pit here in town.....the place has been packed everyday since they opened...very good but pricey.....we are a carnivorous bunch out here....

So if you feed the pig table scraps...does that make him a cannibal? Or a pigibal?

Makes him fat I'm thinking.....

Trying to figure out what is venting from the hood....comments say purging NOS.....??

I bet the boys love it when the coach tells them to hit the showers.

In yesterdays nightly news there was a story about a hot 32 y/o and an ok 24 y/o teacher that were bopping a 16 y/o football player. They even had a threesome with him. I'm sure that boy is scarred for life.

WOW! WHAT A MEMORY FILE THAT OPENS UP. WHEN THAT WAS POPULAR I WAS FLYING FROM FT HOOD TO ARIZONA ABOUT TWICE A MONTH TO TRAIN A RESERVE TANK BN. MY PARTNER IN CRIME HAD SO MUCH SCRAP IRON STILL IN HIM FROM 'NAM HE COULDN'T GET THRU THE METAL DETECTORS AND THEY WOULD PULL HIM OUT FOR INDIVIDUAL SCREENING AND I'D GIVE HIM HELL OVER BEING A WANTA-BE SKYJACKER. I COULD USUALLY PASS THE DETECTORS IF THEY WEREN'T SET TOO HIGH.

THOSE WERE GREAT DAYS FOR AIR TRAVEL. SOUTHWEST, FORMERLY TREE TOP AIRLINES, PRIDED ITSELF IN HAVING A DRINK IN YOUR HAND BEFORE THE WHEELS WERE UP. WE MADE A POINT OF FLYING SOUTHWEST :-)

Interesting, the Dickey's here has really mediocre bbq and worst service of any bbq in Reno.

the internet is just full of complaints on the food there.

For good pork:

Evening guys...it was a quick game this evening. We had them down 26-0 in the first quarter. Then coasted to a 64-0 plastering. Good for the kids, longer homecoming dance. And good for me, I only missed the first two innings of the Royals game.

Quote:


Time will tell....right now its new.....and so much depends on the management.....I had the brisquit and thought it was good....I was real hungry....

Bill is that NOS coming out of the hood on that C7? If so why?

That's NOS alright, but I don't know the reason why they blow it off like that.

Deep into the Anaheim night......Hosmer....unbelievable...How about them Royals.....3 straight games into extra innings and they have won them all.....

Quote:


Just showing off maybe....?

Quote:

Damn, if I know.

I think NOS is for people who can't build engines.
