LOL!!” 1:41:28 PM 3/24/02 Next Weekend “Just looked at the weather for next weekend, and it looks like I will be going out to play some more.

I'm getting my Honey Do's done today (gotta clean the gutters) so I can head up Loomis tomorrow. Haven't skied in at least a week.” 4:02:58 PM 11/26/04 “I just keep posting to myself....that sems to work... JC” 4:05:54 PM 11/26/04 “I'm here. A man from the SBA was just here. He kept doing paper work in his car for about 15 minutes before driving away. I hope, I hope, I hope that I get a grant instead of a loan. I already did get one payment. This inspection was primarily for the car, but he said it does not matter as he looked at everything. He was talking about maybe totalling the car. It needs some painting on the front and top, he suggested the whole car. The new windshield is over $850 plus installation.” 4:08:28 PM 11/26/04 “Some people may not have a home computer, so they only post from work during the week.” 4:17:11 PM 11/26/04 “this place is dying - only 2 threads were created today, that doesn't happen very often...” 11:59:44 PM 11/27/04 “Heavens man, do you mean people here may actually have lives!” 12:08:32 AM 11/28/04 “well i sure don't... lol” 12:19:30 AM 11/28/04 “I just got my home puterator up and running again tonight. Nobody's safe on weekends anymore!” 12:33:42 AM 11/28/04 “I find it funny how the same one's who cry and complain about the economy are the same ones who post hours on end from their boss' computers. It seems that surfing the net for more than half the day has become an expected fringe benefit. I’d fire all of you on the spot.” 7:49:01 AM 11/28/04 “Ahh Nigal, if you were to fire all of us, TT would be dead all week.” 8:14:09 AM 11/28/04 “We give grants to small businesses? You never hear that mentioned when people talk about cutting the size of government, do you? One man's bad government is another man's good government.” 8:40:48 AM 11/28/04 “well I know where I was and the waterfalls were the best I had ever seen in this area (SNP, Doyle River) but dang it they are not wired so I just had to do without TT” 6:30:25 PM 11/28/04 “This will come as a shock to some, but this is a board populated (in theory, at least) by OUTDOORS people! MAYBE everyone's out DOING something instead of #&%!$in' on some internet site about their hemmorhoids or vaginal odor. Just a thought, and yeah, I know I'm a radical type with outrageous ideas.” 7:30:05 PM 11/28/04 “Well, there is that...” 7:37:51 PM 11/28/04 “Well, I did get OUTDOORS today. Wandered to the pool hall. Got plenty of exercise walking around a table. Played 3-sets of 9-ball winning twice 5-0. Lost one set of games by 5-3.” 7:50:30 PM 11/28/04 “Just got gear laid out to dry from a trip to Wilson Creek Wilderness.” 7:51:35 PM 11/28/04 “Man, i did not go hiking or backpacking this holiday weekend! In fact I did do a lot of trailtalking.” 10:43:30 PM 11/28/04 ““Man, i did not go hiking or backpacking this holiday weekend!
