Rare as it is in middle Tennessee , it snowed overnight , not just fuirries ! Still snowing this morn'n. 25 years ago we would get a foot or so of snow and would snow a couple of times each winter,,,now we only get flurries and ice. I'm not fond of winter , but the snow is pretty to see once in a while ....Mr.

Brother Bear , I am so envious , we have to wait for Sept. for our next Fort trip. But we did have a great time there last month. I tried to bring the good weather back with us , it got lost somewhere in the travel'n back home. ...Yesterday we got all the nasty cold rain during the day . ...Mr.

My thought for the day....

Why can't science come up with a cold medicine that works ALL night....not only for 4 -5 hours???? We've walked on the moon, yet a cold medicine that keeps you decongested for more that 5 hours eludes us. What's up with that?

 

[HappyCamper87]

Well Brer Bear can send the snow to 2goofycampers and they can send the rain here. We really need the rain.

Actually looks like we're going to get some today. A little stormy looking. We are supposed to wake up with temps in the 40's tomorrow morning. DH and I love that.

I have to take the DD(15) to Saturday school this morning. She's such a good kid in a lot of ways but she doesn't apply herself at all. You have to work pretty hard to have 0.715 grade point average! Ugh... I don't know what I'm going to do with her.

She also thinks it's cute to slug people lately which I keep telling her is not cute but she gets by with it most of the time. That is the reason for Sat School today.

Happy Camping.

I feel your frustration just got over the flu a couple of weeks ago it was a killer.

Hope you are feeling better soon and get a good night's sleep

They do...but it would keep you up all night! They make a 120mg sustained release pseudoephedrine with other meds, but you'd have to get a prescription for some of them (Nasatab LA, Zyrtec-D 12 hr, Entex LA). When some enterprising soul figured out you could make crystal meth from pseudoephedrine, it really fouled everything up for the rest of us!

If you buy a cold medicine with a decongestant other than pseudoephedrine (oral), it won't work well...trust me.

Guess I'll have to check Mr's Bear's independent rear suspension in a minute...you know how it is when the warranty has run out.

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Aw c'mon guys!!!!! Wheres the respect??? How dare you dudes compare your lovely wives body parts to broken truck pieces!!!! BTW, Ive been thinkin about getting my DW a new set of headlights, The highbeams aint as bright as they once were!!!

Then again, my hydrolic jack aint what it was when I was 18 either!!!

 

[Brer Bear]

A new set of headlights might just be the ticket!!! (Getting hard to navigate in the dark)

 

[ftwildernessguy]

I know some of you guys ride motorcycles, and I myself ride a motorscooter, so I thought I would post a picture of a Lexus after it hit a 150cc TGB motorscooter.

Miraculously, the scooter rider survived with multiple injuries, and will go through months of rehab before he can claim to recover. The Lexus was driven by a young driver who belonged to a Lexus club. He was travelling at a high rate of speed and lost control on a curve, hitting the scooter head on. Police say the car was modified for racing. I don't know about your areas, but around SE PA, most schools have eliminated driver's education from the curriculum. The number of accidents involving young drivers has increased accordingly. I'm not saying this is the answer for everything, but reintroduction of Driver's Ed in the school system sure wouldn't hurt.

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Driver's Ed is required now in LA, be it in public school or by a private instructor...and Im happy for it.......but when it comes to two wheels on the road, many people simply refuse to acknowledge them. High beams, loud pipes, reflective tape, a good lid, thick leather and SUPER DEFENSIVE DRIVING is all a rider has to protect him/her.

Ive gotten ticketed twice for loud pipes.....gladly paid the fine without even appearing in court, I just kinda look at it as insurance

 

[2goofycampers]

we know there is otters at the Fort, but are there woodchucks at the Fort ? And if there are, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood ? ......Mr.
