ice fishing?

evening boys

 

No ,,,, open water. 80 degrees. Sunscreen ahhhhhhhhhh....

 

Evening all:
Was supposed to go ice fishing tomorrow!
Took a set of Korker cleats off the boots, and installed a different set of cleats. Looked at the boots and the rubber ripped that holds the new cleats on, BRAND NEW; NEVER USED!
Went to put the old ones back on, and can't get them back on.
Been trying for about an hour and a half, don't know what's going on!
Should have let well enough alone!

 

No snow here, but we got a severe case of vog the past few days, as the wind has been blowing from the south. I can't even see the top of the mountain behind my house, which is only about a mile away. It really sucks if you have respiratory problems. I've noticed that my eyes have been sensitive & a little burning. Other than that, weather's been great, temps mid 60's to low 80's, with hardly any rain.

Somebody has to go shut down that damn volcano, it's been erupting for too long...

 

I'll get right on that as soon as I stop coughing up Lugies.

 

Yeah Mike, normally our air quality here will clear up dem lugies, but right now it sucks. It won't be good for Nat'l TV this weekend with the Sony Open. But I bet even with the vog, you snowbound Mainlanders will still wish you were here. Sorry, getting a little sassy here.

If any of you are watching the Sony Open on Sunday, look out for me in the Budweiser tent on the 17th green. I'll be the drunk in the first row, yelling at the players to "throw the ball" to us in the stands.

 

Enjoy the tourney

 

Hold up a sign or something.i had my 15 sec of fame at the Daytona 500 years ago. I record d it and I have proof....lol

 

Morning all:
Back at it again Mike! One of my buddies had some type of cough that started after Christmas and didn't want to let up.
VOLCANO! ----
X2, enjoy the tourney.

 

Yeah, I'll hold up my beer. Pretty much every time I've sat there I've been caught on TV, as the 17th green gets a lot of coverage.

 

I'm a legal eagle. Just installed the Gen lock out. Project completed.

 

S/W/S.

:thumbup: We have one of those. Gives me that small bit of reassurance that I'm not going to try to power the entire neighborhood with my little generator!

Wife is doing very very well. No pain meds anymore, swelling is clearly way down because her foot is rattling around in the cast. She does more and more for herself every day, but still using a walker due to being non-weight bearing on the operated foot; she can put it down for balance but the force applied is supposed to be 'walking on eggshells'. We've been hyper attentive to keeping it elevated above heart level, because we read that foot surgeries are unusually painful and that a good part of the pain comes from swelling and the body's inability to effectively manage it way out there at the end of the leg. Elevation is the best way to help the body get the job done. It sure seems to be working.

I'm still doing the chief cook / bottlewasher gig. Moved a bunch of firewood from the main pile to our sheltered spot just outside the door yesterday. My back is talking.

 

Dave

Glad to read she is recovering well.

 

HI ,

I would again give you an "open invite" BUT right now may not be the best season....We have had 2 tornados touch down within a week locally.....Minor damage considering and no one seriously hurt

To Say Connie would rather have a Nor'Easter would be an understatement

try to enjoy your weekend and get rid of that Nasty cold....

 

Thanks bud. I could at some time for sure show up. Appreciate it.
Glad everyone is ok.
This cold is kicking my ass. One day I start to feel better and the next back to square one.
recouperation ain't like it use be...

 

Anything low needs to be elevated. Great news. What's your best dish???
Keep smart about that back....

 

Morning All. Glad the Missus is doing good with her recuperating Dave. You need to take it easy on your back Dave. When my wife isn't cooking, my favorite dish is take-out.
Gen-lockout looks good Mike. Hope you can kick the cold. Nothing worse then a lingering cold.

 

Morning all:
Looks like we're running out of luck, this weekend is not looking good!

 

So, a classmate of mine just passed away very suddenly on Sunday. She & I were very close in high school, I mean VERY close, like intimate close. Never saw her since, and always wanted to get together with her to explain why I never kept in touch. (too complicated for me to explain) I am going to her funeral with a heavy heart & very mixed emotions. My message to you is don't wait until it's too late, life is too short.

I know that many at the funeral will be surprised to see me there, especially her friends, and it may be uncomfortable. Maybe I'll explain things to her friends & hopefully they will understand.

 

You don't need to explain anything. Your paying respect to her, not her friends
