Night, what True also failed to tell you is that the Babel fish is also the cause of most interstellar wars.

LOL I guess you'll just have to read the books. They are quite funny.

a reply to: TDawgRex

I guess I will...after I read the pile I have sitting beside my bed in a big wicker basket.

a reply to: Night Star

Night, I say that if you have a pile of books in the wicker basket, they can wait. Go tomorrow to the library and order up the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy", you won't be disappointed.

Laughter is the best medicine after all and that trilogy delivers.

a reply to: TDawgRex

But I really want to read the books I have right now. Don't worry, I'll get to it someday.

Will someone please lift True's head off the keyboard and put a pillow under it? I think he fell asleep on us.

I've heard that before...and think I've said it as well.

Trust me and True...you will not be disappointed. Even people I know that hate Monty Python and Sci-Fi love these books.

There you go...making me sound like a Amazon review.

The wine's almost gone. Why is the wine almost gone?

a reply to: TDawgRex

I love sci/fi but not a fan of montey python. I believe you, really I do. But I really, really want to read these other books first. LOL

Bleh, eh? What? Oh... No kippers please, I ...zzzzzzzz

Yep, that's me done for now!

Night all!

Goodnight Sweetie, rest well. Think I'll go watch a movie now. Maybe I'll be back later.

Hi all,

Jeez I have been working sooo much I have neglected alot of things I love to do. Coming here on the top of the list.

Well, I finally got the whole outside area raked and blown. Holy Crap, I never realized how much work this is, especially doing it alone. ( My loving and caring children, blew me off on this one.) Oh well, the exercise is good for me.

Tonight we are having our first "winter storm watch" so far I have got about an inch on the deck. We have been forcasted to get 3 to 4 in.

So here is my deliema, salt or not???? My thought is not. We have got some nasty winds coming off the lake and the wind is really getting strong. Curse the ones who told me that weather was the same in chicago. Bull sh...... !

So I am now wide awake, watching this weather and deciding when and if I should go out and shovel and salt or leave it alone. I don't want to create a ice layer.

I haven't had a chance to go back and read whats been going on so I will do that now.

I hope everyone is safe and warm.

I am terribly sorry, I can be of absolutely no help to you.

I have never seen snow. It is on my bucket list.

Salt goes with a lot of things, but snow?

Is that table salt or chicken salt or .... what else could it be.

If we ever had snow, I would shovel it into the rain water tank for summer

Ha HAaaa. Well I have lived with all my life. but have never had this kind of lake snow. when I lived around Lake Michigan, it blew a different way. Now I have superior right above me. I have to figure out how the wind is gonna blow and how it is going to affect me. Weather channel say's it blowing NW but I am seeing straight North at this time. I have to figure out the terrain changes things. For me it will take a few storms to figure it out. LOL

I am actually excited about the snow, that means it's getting closer to ice fishing. I am really looking forward to that. I spent half of my day today going thru all my gear. Put new line on all my rods, oiled and ready to go.
I love looking thru all my lures. Haven't used or seen some of them in over two years. Some have great stories. Spent a day reminishing. It's been a good day !

Where are you from? If I may ask?


Oh wait I see. God some times I can be so dense. You have some really cool stuff down by you that I couldn't imagine. I can only see it on T.V.

Just thought I would pop in for a minute just to see what is going on here. Looks to me like everything is flowing like normal and nothing seems wrong. Been a long day and night for me so I think it's time to hit that thing they call a haystack and just burrow under the covers. Supposed to be a cold night here tonight and to think it was close to 80 here on Monday..............



Before I go however.....

Thank you guys and gals for looking at my photo that I took at Sewell, WV this past Sunday.

If you guys thought that was a nice one then you haven't seen the one I took the week before.......

Took this the previous Sunday while chasing that pain in the a$$ called the 2014 New River Train. Standing on one of the overlooks at the former Grandview State Park, now a part of the New River National River and Park, while looking down over the valley from about 2,700 feet up on top of the mountain. Making its way east as it snakes along the New River between Quinnimont and Backus. Amtrak's veterans unit leads the New River Train towards Hinton along the New River Subdivision.

OMG, what a beautiful picture. You have a good eye for great pictures gimme. I hope you archive these. Some of these places will never look the same in the future. As you have said, they are changing.

a reply to: crappiekat

OK, I broke down and went out and shoveled. No salt. I really just wanted to go out and play in the snow. It's good snowball snow. Got a few off on the boys and a few at me. Of course I lost that battle and got one in the side of the head. LOL. All in good fun. And this is my first winter storm up here so I am having fun.

LOL LOL Ask me if I'm having fun come March. LOL That will be the true test.

Hey True, My boys went and bought me some great tea's (in the bags) They said I remind them too much of Aunt Jackie.

Ha Ha. It's all about the process to me. But yea you and yours are right, it much less messy.

OK, I'm off to bed. enough play.

I hope you all are doing well. I have been thinking about you all.

Hey Cody how does the Ms C. like the new car? You are a sweet heart.

Why would you use salt on snow?

The idea seems just way out to me. Lol

P

a reply to: pheonix358

We use it as well P. Helps it to melt and stops it
freezing over night.
Not table salt mate (although that works)
it's like salt crystals.

Cody

Darn, I missed Kat and Pheonix and gimme.

Pheonix, under the snow you can get ice which is very slippery and people can get hurt very badly. The salt we use isn't fine like table salt. I have seen the faces of people who have seen snow for the first time. To them they are like a child and all is so magical.

Gimme, your pics could be sold to places that make calendars and cards. They are always of such good quality!

Kat, I am NOT looking forward to any snow! We only have one person to shovel. My niece is pregnant so that just leaves her husband. Mark and I are disabled and Mom on the second floor is 90 years old. We do have a neighbor who helps plow the sidewalk and drive way if we get a bad storm and lots of snow sometimes thank God!

Our weather has been crazy even for New England. Warm enough where you don't even need a sweater one day to cold like this morning. BRRRRRRRRRR! Heat on, heat off, heat on...LOL
