Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, December 15, 2005 8:19 PM Evening all! We are into stepson's wrestling season full bore, so often 3-4 meets a week. Add in a night or two upstairs working on the Rock and it makes for a full schedule. Caught up on the last six pages of news. Seems like everyone but Sarah has had it with winter and it's not even officially here. Mook, we had a cougar around the sandbar about 5 years ago. Several confirmed sightings then he just disappeared. Food pantry must not have been full enough for him. He could've dined on coyotes forever around here. Wouldn't have bothered anyone that hunts bunnies or pheasants. They've really hurt the populations around here. Mutt- the story was that Carley was singing about Mick Jagger. They had been dating and she thought he was a jerk. Nothing really new around here, got most of the X-mas shopping done, with Mama in her kerchef, and I in my Cubs hat, we're both about ready for a long winters nap. One high point on the Rock layout, finally got the coal fired power plant built. Built with DPM modules. My first kitbashed/scratchbuilt ? structure. Now to paint and detail, the fun stuff. Now I've actually got somewhere for my coal drags to stop and unload. Bet that engineer is tired of dragging that load around forever. Hey Joe, need a lazy strikeout king centerfielder in Cinncy? We've got one to get rid of. We'll probably have to pay someone to take him off our hands. Chris, am looking forward to getting together over holidays. Will touch base later. Well everyone stay warm and keep your powder dry.

If my memory is still 'semi' working;and from the interviews that I've seen on P.B.S., she hasn't really said;and doesn't really want to say. CW,I think I'd like to have the #4 "stir-fry" also,sounds good. Sarah,right now......we aren't getting anything but the "cloudy weather" in "Anticipation" of things to come...........Sort of the calm before the storm.[:D] Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !!

Looks like the eastern area will get big trouble with ice. Also the mountain range up through the east perhaps will get a bit of it all.....much ice and then snow...Bad combination. Quentin tree68 Member sinceDecember 2001 From: Northern New York 25,026 posts Posted by tree68 on Thursday, December 15, 2005 9:04 AM Whew - finally into work. Arrived in my driveway at 1:30 AM after 2 1/2 hours on the road, so getting up "on time" just wasn't in the cards. The reason for the late arrival? Returning from the James Taylor concert in Rochester last night. Great concert! I'm not familiar with his latest album so portions of the concert took on a "Garden Party" air (when's he gonna play the stuff I know?). It was funny to hear the undercurrent of sing-alongs from the audience with the more popular/better known stuff. Not that I wasn't singing along on a couple of them, too... So Brunch it is.
