Just checking in before 10 hours on the road doing farm visits with the County Agents. There was a time I liked that but now with cell phones there is no down time. I'm not sure when a person is supposed to have time to think anymore. Part of the reason I've been making a conscious decision to try to simplify. Shaving with a straight razor is slow, quiet and requires you to concentrate on one thing or you will pay the price. Same with writing with a fountain pen. It requires you to spend a little more time thinking about what you are going to write vs banging something out on a keyboard. I have managed to whittle my FB contacts down to 53 with a goal of 50 so apologies if you aren't on the list. Family takes priority. Have a good day gentlemen.

"give me your spare tires, your pork
your puddled gasses yearning to break free
the detailed spreadsheets of a disney dork
Send these, the disdads leftovers to me
I am the chime before the monorail door"

Front page material!

Seconded!

Bravo. Fourthded. Front page material.

Added to first page Right under the bacon Mickey

What about zombies, ninja, fart and Dole whip? That should about cover it.

"Ninja" is probably already there. You just can't see it.

Shouldn't platypus be on there too?

Very nice ones! Unfortunately, there is a five tag limit for a thread

Received from Ron at 8:08 am.

Card count as of now is 32, only missing 6 but since 2 cards you can't get, it brings it down to 4 and a totally different way to try getting them. Oh yeah, haircut at noon.'

Thanks for making Thursday start out funny.

I took up Tae Kwon Do and mountain biking for these reasons. Concentrate on something other than the immediate moment when sparring and the consequences are unpleasant, if your mind wanders when MTB'ing you'll find yourself slammed into a tree or worse. (I've got the scars to prove it). Sometimes it seems I'm either in a state of "working" or "semi-work" there is very little downtime except when I'm playing with my kids. Having a hobby like this provides an outlet where for a small period of time my brain isn't thinking about work or bills or anything other than what's going on right then. Unfortunately I don't get to do either very often.

Stink, I'd like to do this but I'm bouncing around the west coast next week.

We've been watching the predicted wave heights. Right now it looks like 30+ foot waves out at the outer banks. I have a couple friends who are kiteboarders and surfers and they are all trying to get out there to enjoy it before the bad winds hit. Hope you make it through unscathed.

Sorry, Mark. Once again, I don't really know anything on these topics other than whatever you can read on the boards!

Good luck, Matt. We're right in the path after you guys. Doesn't look like it's going to be a fun weekend.

 

[10dedfish]

We are actually bugging out for the weekend. Our families live in Southern WV, and they had planned on us driving in this weekend for months, so this just moves it up a day. I personally have no desire to sit thru a cat 2/3 hurricane, and I plan on taking my work laptop in case I get really bored.

We are still trying to decide what to do. If they move the tracking any further west we may be heading up to Ohio to visit my parents. I'd rather not leave the house to fair on it's own... but I also vowed after Isabel that I would never stick around for another hurricane. Just sitting here waiting patiently for now.

 

[10dedfish]

Currituck NC just issued a mandatory evac for tourists, so hopefully we can get gone before traffic starts to suck. Whatever way you guys decide, hope everything works out well. And we still need to grab lunch one day.

 

[Emma's Dad]

A thought just occurred to me. If I do stay and weather Irene, perhaps I'll set up a webcam to monitor the progress. I could be like Jim Cantore and report outside in my raincoat and howling winds!

 

[10dedfish]

I recommend tying a sheet to your hands and feet and jumping a few feet off the ground.

Can't blame you there. I'm still wondering if they're going to evacuate any parts of Del. or not. I've been told to be on call, because I may have to come in for emergency road work if the damage is really bad. So I guess I'm here for the duration.

I always wonder whose idea it was to send the poor guy out in the middle of the storm when everyone else has to evacuate. I'm pretty sure we know the storm is fierce--why do we need a guy getting blasted sideways to confirm it?

You know, I've really always wondered what the point was of the raincoat. It isn't like it is even doing any good. I'd think some Kevlar body armor to protect you from debris would be more appropriate.

I always wonder whose idea it was to send the poor guy out in the middle of the storm when everyone else has to evacuate. I'm pretty sure we know the storm is fierce--why do we need a guy getting blasted sideways to confirm it?

Because the TV news crews are good at reporting news, but not good at coming up with new ideas. They do it, because it is what they've always done. Just like how they always find that guy with 2 teeth, wearing a wifebeater to stand in front of the leveled trailer park and talk about the tornado that just went through.



In all seriousness... good luck to everybody on the east coast. Hopefully Irene will lose some steam or head back out to sea before she gets to you. If not you'll be in our prayers. Stay safe!

FEMA calls Jim "The Harvenger of Death"!!! Every where he goes death follows. You see him arrive in town GET THE #$% OUT!!!

Good Morning, Mr. Phelps

I always wonder whose idea it was to send the poor guy out in the middle of the storm when everyone else has to evacuate. I'm pretty sure we know the storm is fierce--why do we need a guy getting blasted sideways to confirm it?

Because it makes the rest of us sit there and watch the poor guy/girl. And that sells ads! I know exactly what I'll be doing at work on saturday. I need to get out of the cable news business.

20. Why Did Pilgrims' Pants Always Fall Down?

Because They Wore Their Belt Buckle On Their Hat.

That one made me crack up for some reason.
