    Morning all:
    I thought there "WAS" one! If not, could always start one.

    Finally! Hi Mark.
    Looks like you have your hands full, sorry to hear about the student, very unfortunate.

    Good morning Mark. You sure have had your hands full the last few months. I would look at the union mess as a win for you and the school. A lot of the time unions bring charges they know will be dismissed just to make the life of management miserable. Prayers for the family of the young student that was shot and for the health of your family. I know it is not easy to care for your parents.

    Post up when you can and keep us in the loop is you are in any more competitions this summer.

    That was quite an experience Mickey. Glad you suffered no further damage. I'll be more aware of the possibility of something like that happening having read your account. Hope the truck get's fixed to your satisfaction and you never go through anything like that again..

    :laugh: Just saw something that made me do a double take!
    Went into town, and I glanced over at a cemetery where there was a bunch of people, who I assume were there for a burial.
    There was a white van sitting there with a large skull and crossbones on it.
    I wonder if it was the hearse? :cool:
    Was thinking about turning around and getting the camera, but don't think it would have been in good taste to take pics. of a funeral. I'm sure more than one took a pic. of just the van with their cell phone.

    Morning, all! Beautiful start of the day here - probably see some clouds and thunderstorms later, though. Just got out of the spa and now headed out to cut grass while I can!!

    Good Morning All,
    Welcome back Mark, you sure have had a full plate, Prayers for your Mom and Lynn's parents. The missus and I took care of her parents for many years and it was very difficult, so I can understand your situation.

    Was upstate over the weekend...Had 2 granddaughters and a friend of the oldest granddaughters. Spent Saturday at Knoebels Amusement Park, then went to Ricketts Glen to take a dip in Lake Jean on Sunday:D . Beautiful weather, good weekend. Now we have Monday morning rain. Hope it clears up by next weekend. Try to have a good one all.

    The last root ball was the largest.

    Hi Tom! Your skateboard? :rolleyes:
    :rain::( This weather is getting old!
    Unfortunate for the 19 smokejumpers that lost their lives. It says they deployed their shelters that were supposed to protect them, but didn't.
    Maby time to do more testing, it sure looks like the ones in use aren't that good! :notsure:

    What a tragedy losing those 19 dedicated young firefighters is, not only for their families and the State of Arizona, but the nation as well. Anyone wanting to help can make a donation at 100CLUB.org Funds go directly to the families involved...
