Yep..me and myself and i..I love talking to myself..that and pulling the wiskers off kittens.

sc

you don't pull wiskers of kittens? It makes them to walk into walls!

No i would never hurt a kitten...for some reason ..i just like talk junk..it is a charature flaw of mine, one of many...

Good show to watch on tv.."How is it made?"

It comes on the discovery channle..everything from bonzi trees to mbl baseball bats.

I am having a little trouble with the computer now and then..so i watch more tv..wife fixed the problem..she is the smart one in the family..Her and my daughter.

Also watch miami ncis the other night..i never knew nicotine was in pestacides and was so deadly in high doses..they said 3 patches could kill someone..geese louwezzz ..it is a dangerous world we live in and to think we both remember before the tamper proof packaging was on the market..Before that idiot poisoned the tylonal tablets. sc

I remember riding around in the back of pickups and made a few trips from boston to the NH mountains in the back of an open pickup truck. I also remember when they started to add seat belts to car seats. I don't even want to start about the child labor laws, my dad sent me out to hump ammo loads all floor loaded on a 32' over the road trailer starting when I was 12 years old. The first stop for my dads driver was the bar after leaving the garage for a boiler maker and then off down the road we would go in an old B model Mack.
Ahhhh the memories,
Steve from what I can tell you are a true man of character and worth, merry X-mas and peace to your family,

PS It looks like rain for this area tomorrow so maybe no skiing at Cannon for us. Maybe get a couple of turns in the keattle holes around town today while the sun is out and there is plenty of nice fresh powder to be had!

In Honor of a missing photographer (ENJOY) we seem to have lost around here..Is he AWOL or just UA ?

A famous sailor supposedly once said ..I yam what i yam..I guess that goes for me too.

For the record..i believe you and most of the others on fredsplace are pretty cool also....

I am considering taking the following monday off..and going fishing on the twogeorges the preceeding saturday..i need a little recoup time when we do things...i would vist my sister..in titusville but she already has a house full..i go there every CG day anyways..except i am thinking of going to the one in daytona/ponce inlet next year..wray says it is a good one..although i had a hard time finding that station..the one time i went there (which at the time was,nt CG DAY)..but i did it..so maybe like brittney spears..i can say "i did it again" we will see.

That's a big day for my grandson..he needs all those fun thing like water slides etc..i just need a burger and a beer.

Lots of people in this area worried about the ice dams on the roofs do to the melting and refrezzing of the snow. We are expecting rain tomorrow so thats only going to bring more worries and damage due to the present ice dams.
I was going to break out the climbing gear and do a little work on the roof but took the kids skiing instead. I'll proable be out kicking myself tomorrow in the rain if any leaks show up.
The little boys enjoyed the skiing but not without sheding some tears along the way. Lots of crashes though the tress on the downhill runs in those flimsy cross country skis. Nobody poked their eye out, which is good! With the rain and one of the little kids doing a sleep over there will be no ski trip on sunday. Bummer, I might end up getting a little exercise and excitement helping some neighbors with thier roof problems.
Peace and joy,
Dick

That's different..i never had to do that before..sounds sorta dangerous..becarefull sc

Did some more back country skiing with the kids today in Fairyland ( Ralph Waldo Emersons' woodlot). Matt leads most of the way picking out little drops that we could make some turns on through the trees. Jack was the only little boy to come today and did fine ripping it through the trees. 3;13 and still no rain so hopefully its passed us bye. After two and a half hours we were pretty wet with sweat and snow melting and raining down on us from the trees.
Now in warm sweats and waiting to watch the patriots win another.

I get a lot of $hit from my family for saying happy holidays. They are very Irish catholic and correct me with a very merry x-mas to you.
Peace and happy holidays

Steve, any climber will tell you the most dangerouse thing about the climb is the drive too and back from the cliff. I'm twenty percent sure of this, and by far the most dangerouse thing I have ever done in my life was flying in those old h3 airframes in the mountains and nasty winter weather of so. east alaska with a couple of LT at the controls. The crews that did that day in and out I found to be incredible brave. The ones that did that for ten or more years had some real stones!

Dick...

Just tell them 'Nollaig Shona Duit'

They're probably not very Irish enough to understand it!

(And in case you're wondering why, with a name like "Datz," I relate to all this: My mother, rest her soul, was a Dooley, with her mother named McArthy. My father used to say, "Yep, the Irish and the Dutch -- they're not worth much!")

Hey George,
A happy new year back at ya, and I certainly hope to be here next year as well.
Peace, merry x-mas and happy holidays,
Dick

Hope all of you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Light rain for about an hour here then snow but not much. Santa will have some slippery roofs here tonight, but it isn't anything he cant't handle. Keep up the good reads and enjoy the Holidays

Getting down to the wire now.

My son and daughter in law are up here from SOCAL again this weekend. Spending Christmas Eve with us, then to her folks tomorrow. Other than presents and all that stuff, I'm making Æbleskiver (my wife having a Scandinavian heritage), but probably no gløgg (she hates it). There are additional compromises: My DIL, Gina Marie, doesn't' eat red meat stuff, so I'm also cooking up some turkey bacon and sausage (in addition to the fat laden pork varieties, of course). And there will be Lingonberry Jam and powdered sugar for the sweet-loving folks.

Tomorrow it's just the two of us. (Well, + the pugs!) I bought a small ham and turkey breast from Honey Baked -- just have to heat them up, and serve with some au gratin potatoes or something. Then it's relaxation and watching some of the parades, etc. on TV -- snacking on some unusual cheeses and sausages I received from a friend. (And sneaking some food to Pauli and Gus.)

Then it's time to get ready for New Years Eve -- which will probably be equally as exciting.

I like dogs..but dogs like kids..are always better as a one time experience..i don't want niether anymore.

My brother has 4 and he travles..i am happy for him , one of them is a pug...small dogs rule..imho

Just got thur working on my headlights i am not too overly impressed with this product it is not a crystal view..(but at least it is not yellow anymore)..maybe i just need to try again..later.
sc

Steve, did you get that at Walmart? How much was it? I have ONE headlight to do.. on my daughters VW... (the other one has been replaced).. Not sure if I should screw around with this or just buy another headlight (about $100.)

What do you think>?

Wray...

Wray..the car i used it on was old ..a 94 taurus i got cheap..$900.00. i bought the stuff at discount auto..i guess it worked well considering..i mean..the car runs well but..the previous owner did,nt take that good a car of the exterior..and i thought i might get it back into A-1 condition..now..well..i have my doubts..still though ..it looks better than it did..works but not as good as the commerical.

sorry i could,nt be more helpfull ..but i have,nt seen your daughter car..if it is,nt to to bad..i would say try the stuff(only $20.00)..if you want it like show room new..i would say..buy new.
sc

Wray..wife just came back from canada.(thats what i call my next door niehboors there here 6months outta the year) she said to tell you hello and the stuff works great and the lights look like new..obviously i am more picky than she is..

sc
Just 1 question..It requires some sanding..Do you remember how ?
