Mornin',
I don't cook, but I have the coffee pot on! Freddy left the door open for us. He maybe is filling sandbags to stop the water flooding. Or, he's on vacation with 'Uncle Billy's' $15k inheritance!!!
Gonna be a wet week-end. When the sun comes out, we'll be mowing grass, for sure.
Have a safe week-end, all.
Cheers

Morning all,

Thanks for opening the door D!

So far every day that I can mow it's been wet and soggy. I have some grass and weeds that are 3 feet high! A lot of rain here yesterday but overnight and today it is dry and windy. I should be able to mow the area around the house without a problem. I won't venture out on the hill though.

A lot chillier than it has been this morning. The Axeman is pushing heat to a few of the radiators right now.

Have a good week everyone!

-Don

Good Morning,Coffee Campers!!
I see that the Board's Off Season Traffic Pattern has arrived! Well,Greetings from the NRA's National Convention! The Old Man flew into visit with Us in Indianapolis,and threw everything into a Tizzy with Flight Path,Highway and General Road Closures for Security. You'll have that... We made plans for it,and weathered it well! Other than the Las Vegas SHOT Show,this is the only place to gain view and hands on exposure to everything available in the Firearms and Support World. Quite Impressive! It takes alot to get me to visit a Major Metro Venue,but We're here!
Whatever You and Yours are doing this Weekend,Rip One Right Off The Top And Make It A Spanker!!

I checked in but Fred’s griddle was still cold. It is a beautiful day but the 40+ mile an hour wind gusts just completely ruin it. I got home again at 10:30 AM, I had to drive down East of the Alleghenies to pick up a used floater tire in order to have a matching set for dad’s lime truck. He blew one out last week.

The trees are full with green around here, I am going to mow some more grass now but not likely all of it. I want to get things settled down quickly this afternoon, Mrs. Hall and I have tickets tonight for Alabama’s 50th anniversary tour tonight at University Park. I have waited all Winter for this and I’m very excited needless to say!

Have a great week guys

Yup, D-frost, You called it right. Well, pretty close anyway. I had an 8:45 appointment to distributor inheritance. The kicker I guess was last night we had a BIG ol' thunderstorm & I was up half the night. I got back to sleep just in time to wake up to.... I'm late! So out the door I flew leaving the coffee unattended. Thanks for getting things started.

RAIN! Good gosh, this ain't Florida, we don't need rain like this. I didn't dare go over 55 MPH heading up the interstate. I did make it and now things should settle down.

OK, stand back & watch.... June 2nd is the day.... I'm taking a year off & during that time will decide if I go "back on", or call myself retired. Time will tell. I hope to have more time for North Camp this year.

OK folks, do what you can to make life better & forward we go!
