So Mookie, that means I have more to look forward to when I get older? No more headaches? That sounds like music to my ears, just like before I turned 21 to drink legally *grins*

I am feeling much better today though, I think it was from all the smoke in the air. People light their yard waste on fire here, and that triggers lots of migraines, and sinus headaches.

Mutt, it was fun.  You should try it and then maybe bury it outside for awhile.  Anything for a little entertainment!

Good afternoon everybody. Just thought I would stop by to say Hi. I've been busy lately so I have not been able to stop by. I should be back later for supper....

Well, since 1989 is on the point of the ski train again, I might try to get some shots of that out west of town (provided Willy doesn't fire up the Chinook Downslope Ground Blizzard maker again!). BTW, Willy, it sounds like you can shot off the Lake Effect machine, too. I think Tree and everybody has probably seen enough for the next 10 years or so!

Tree, seriously, hope everything works out back that way. I remember getting 4 feet in 2003, and can't even comprehend what it would be like back there right now. My thoughts and prayers are headed your way!

Yes, Larry, our thoughts and prayers are have already headed your way!  Please stay safe!

Lance, not sure if we'll do any railfanning this weekend or not.  Would be nice, if it'll just warm up a bit more around here!!

Our FRIDAY FISH FRY, evening edition, is now under way.  

Everyone enjoy, and have a warm, safe evening!!

Wow, what a quiet evening.  You'd think it was a Friday night or something.  I'll just help myself to some fish - sure is a lot of it left.  I might as well take some seconds to go.

Good Saturday morning to one and all.  Joe, thanks for making the coffee and juice.  And also, thanks for the muffins.  Think I'll take a couple of apple & cinnamon. I've written down your pizza request for tonight:  2 large pepperoni/mushrooms, it is.

Everyone have a great day, and stay safe and warm.

While I am certain you are experiencing what you in Georgia believe is cold weather, we here in the "Great White North" are at a whopping 3F at 10:21 a.m., however the sun is shining and I took nourishment this morning after my eyes opened, my heart began pumping faster and my lungs filled with air...so what do I have to complain about?  NOTHING AT ALL I GUESS!

And now it's Good Afternoon, and a fairly nice one at that compared to the last few days.  We're up to a balmy 7.2 degrees ABOVE zero here, with bright sunshine.  I'll be in and out this afternoon, gotta find my nose here so I can enjoy the pizza to the fullest!

Interesting.  So Brian's nose is an 'er, and not an 'im, or possibly an 'it.  Hmmmm....

Anyway, looking forward to some pizza later on.  I think that it is time for a nap right about now.
