I have grabbed an opportunity to visit an internet cafe and let my Forum Friends know how I'm going. Moved interstate three weeks ago - went pretty well, considering it was a 1,600km drive (1,000 miles). I'm starting to feel more settled. It all takes time. Debbie and I have established our wedding date: April 21, so it's only about 10 weeks away! Plenty to do and we're working our way through the "To Do" list. Hope to touch base again soon, I just wanted to let Ed, drephpe, Mudchicken, Walt, Paula, Quentin and all the Forum crew know that things went ok with my big move. Cheers Dave

CopCarSS Member sinceAugust 2002 From: Turner Junction 3,076 posts Posted by CopCarSS on Wednesday, February 8, 2006 1:09 PM Hi All, Sorry for the long absence. It's been a bit of a trying month. Have had a lot of bids going out, so I've been pretty busy at work. It's also High School Basketball season so I've been shooting a lot in the evenings. I also managed to catch a cold that tried its best to turn into pneumonia. And to top it all off I had to have the transmission rebuilt in the cruiser. Sigh...Can somebody stop the world for a sec? I think I'm getting dizzy! Hope you have all been well. I am starting to feel better, but still busy at work and with the basketball stuff, so I may still be a little sparse around here. Will try to drop in and say howdy when I get a chance.

Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, February 8, 2006 2:43 PM Hey All According to the noon weather we, here in Arkansas, are going to drop down in temperature some more. The next week or so we will be having below freezing temps during the nigh time hours. [:(!] Yesterday they said that the Dakotas were having single digit weather. [:(] You guys make sure and keep them up there. [;)] I don't want any part of any weather below 15. I actually don't want 15 either but may not have a choice. [V] Now for my good news of the day. [:)] I had ordered a hat from the Olympic Commitee and it came today. [^] It is s w e e t [:p]. It is black with a small area of royal blue on the left and right side of the bill. Then about a 1/4 inch strip of white between the blue and black. Centered in the front is this year's Olympic seal (I guess that is what it is) under that the letters USA and under that the Olympic rings. As I said, the hat is pretty SWEET. [:D] And to top it all off, the bill already came rounded, I didn't have to do that. [^] Edit locomutt Member sinceSeptember 2003 From: Louisville,Ky. 5,077 posts Posted by locomutt on Wednesday, February 8, 2006 3:31 PM Chris, (CopCarSS) Man,welcome back and hope you are feeling better !!!!!!! Please try to not stay away so long. (I know,things DO happen.) That is a fantastic picture;would figure it's entitled: "Get Outta My Way !!" Jim;we've been in the "deep freeze" here for several days and can expect it for several more. "Winter" has returned,no more 60 degree days for awhile !! The hat sounds "cool";seems that is something that I always have to do to a new cap. Kind of nice to see that some one else has done it for you. (probably not the same way you would do it,but......)

Left out some roast. I have fixed it, and have broken it into pieces for some beef vegetable soup. Seems I have contracted a sore & itchy throat, so thought I'd make a big ole pot of soup. And with the weather turning even colder, looks like that might be a good idea. Also have some navy beans soaking to fix a big pot of bean soup tomorrow. Switch8frg, be careful on those roads.

Pretty much depend where the game was played. Remember most refs are from close to the arena where the game will be played. Their calls most generally go for the home team. We always called them "homers", because their calls were for the home team. A charge (offensive foul) at one end became a defensive foul at the other. One of my buddies' dad was in charge of the ATF in this area. (If you remember Waco, he was one of the ones on the roof who was shot and carried off in a sleeping bag upon the hood of a jeep or truck on the evening news.) Anyway he got so upset at one game(because the reffing was so one sided) because the game was becoming increasing violent and flagrant elbows were being throw with no calls again the offending team. Then my buddie received a flagrant elbow to the jaw, with no foul called, and it was all we could do to keep his dad off the floor. This is one reason wins are hard to come by on the road, because the refs are usually homers. Now back to the weather. [;)] They are having a very hard time predicting the weather here lately. We were below freezing last night and today it is only about 38 degrees with almost a 10 mph wind. So it is a cold day and a coat is required. They are saying that some parts of Arkansas cold get snow or freezing rain tomorrow but are not sure which or when. If we get snow it won't be that much or stay very long. Now for the bad news, today is Monday. [B)] So it is time to walk the dog, fix lunch, and start getting ready for work.
