Good Morning, Lodge!

Did really well at the craft fair yesterday. Last night, Mr. wore Black and myself went out for his birthday dinner. His birthday is on Monday, but it is just easier to arrange to go out on a Saturday night. Today, we are having his birthday lunch with his parents. Please shoot me now.

I might know a guy with a few guns..but he won't shoot you.:)

Mornin'!

I'm going to ***** about the weather so you can all **** about it. This storm was supposed to be the worst between midnight and 4am and done by 11am. It's after 12:30 and it looks worse now than it did at 8am. I went out to go food shopping and slid three times, once almost into a telephone pole. Supposed to go to my brother's house by 3:30 for my niece's birthday party but I am not leaving my place the rest of the day. Unless it miraculously stops in the next 15 minutes and roads can be cleared up completely.

We went to Casper's Cherokee in Eagan. Today we are going to Chevy's across Mall of America.
Nice!
Trip down memory lane: It was originally called Durning's, and the family was neighbors of ours in Woodbury. For one summer they had the barn in pieces in their yard while the refinished it. I'm always hit with nostalgia when we go there.

Another good weekend, til this point.

Got to shoot the new 9mm yesterday, very nice shooter. Then went with my dad to the Ram dealer and bought a couple new trucks. I have to pick mine up next weekend, he drove his home yesterday. He cut me a check for $32,500 and gave me a truck for trade in, which is only worth $3000, so I got another $1000 from Chrysler as a trade-in credit. Overall, got the truck I want for under the price I set as my max $$$$.

I've never met a drive that bothered me. And I drove in, to and from Houghton for 5 years. 20 foot visability, a foot of snow on the road, whatever. Bring it, nature.

Is there ice under the snow? That's the worst when you don't know when you'll slide.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #162: Love Is In the Air

It's wild here, been snowing since yesterday morning but we only have 4 to 6 inches, the wind is cranking. I wouldn't want to be driving in it. I've been scared many times driving, I drive all over Maine 5 or 6 days a week. I've had more close calls than you can shake a stick at.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #162: Love Is In the Air

So, it stopped and I'm at my brother's. they didn't get nearly what I got. Roads are very wet by me so I'm a little worried about black ice later tonight.

Terrible, terrible, terrible "hockey" game. Even if MN won, this was an abortion of an abortion. Needless to say, I'm at the *HT, but this time it's more the whole sport of hockey, rather than this particular game.

Drove to Roxbury for Track this AM. The roads were pretty horrible in Town but not as bad up by Dracut. Just got home. The side roads are bad. The roads in Boston were practically dry.

Not a good day. Lil had Divisional meet. Had qualified for both the Mile and the 2 mile. Had been running out of his mind. Got sick this week. Fever, cough. Wheezing. Using all his meds, inhaler and still legs feel like poop. (If this sounds familiar he had the same senario happen before the huge meet in XC)

45 minutes before he has to leave I hear a pop and a loud wooshing sound.I thought he was running the upstairs water.....nope. Go downstairs. The valve on top of the water heater is spewing H2O like a fire hydrant on a cartoon. Shut off valve does nothing to shut it off when I try but it was hard to get a grip on it because the force of the water spewing out made it hard to get a good grip. Shut the house water. It continues to pump out water but now at a reasonable rate. I crank the valve shut. It does not completely shut off the flow of water. :( We just finished off this room. New rug. Spray was about chest height. We have pantry shelves in this room. Guess which shelf all the pasta was on. (Oh, I forgot to mention Mr was not home, he was working)

Call the plumber. 7AM tomorrow. (Holiday pay. WHee!!)

Go to the meet through wildly blowing snow. They delay the meet by an hour. We are there 2 hours early. Lil takes a turn around the track and is panting and coughing after one lap (he races 22 laps for the 2 mile). Decides he will never make the 2 and will run the one. Ended up running 2 seconds slower than he had, came in 3rd from last. Not happy. Not great for anyone who might be following how he does. Looks like he chokes in big meets. :(:(

Ah well, at least we will have water early in the AM.
