I'm still trying to be a success in life! Melbourne current weathe Central Florida's chilly weather was expected to reach its peak this morning, with the possibility of frost across inland areas Here is what happens in the cold: Important notice to readers: Due to mechanical difficulties, Saturday's issue of FLORIDA TODAY will be delayed arriving to our home delivery customers. We apologize for the inconvenience” 5:05:15 AM 11/30/02 “Yep! I'm off to bop around the block and check out the Lunacy in preparation for tomorrow's conjunction. Seeing as how the Morning People hang out on this thread mostly, I might as well post this here... Space Weather News for Nov. 30, 2002 http://www.spaceweather.com PLANETS CONVERGE: Don't miss this. Just before dawn on Sunday, Dec. 1st, the planets Venus and Mars will converge with the slender crescent Moon. The trio will fit within a circle 1.5 degrees in diameter. Northern hemisphere observers should look toward the eastern horizon around 5:30 a.m. local time. Venus will be dazzling, about 350 times brighter than nearby red Mars. Can you see a ghostly glow across the crescent Moon's dark terrain? Astronomers call that "Earthshine"--it's one of the loveliest sights in the sky.” 5:08:36 AM 11/30/02 “Sorry, forgot to insert the url. Important notice to readers: Due to mechanical difficulties, Saturday's issue of FLORIDA TODAY will be delayed arriving to our home delivery customers. We apologize for the inconvenience Good morning, all. Have a great day.” 5:11:03 AM 11/30/02 “ok guys, thats way to much info before coffee” 5:16:57 AM 11/30/02 “ok you forgot about the weather in Pa, Like in the Allentown area” 5:17:57 AM 11/30/02 “I've been up all night, at work......2 more hours and I be gone to beddyby.......gonna go home and fix a big'ol country breakfast and then sleep like a mule.” 5:18:23 AM 11/30/02 “go to bed?... heck I started work not to long ago. mornin all!” 5:35:04 AM 11/30/02 “whatever you do, don't ask how a mule sleeps....” 5:56:23 AM 11/30/02 “Tilt must be a person of many experiences.” 6:02:47 AM 11/30/02 “I found out as much about mules as I ever want to know sharing the trail with them in the Grand Canyon, <G> I figure their sleeping habits are Their Own Business, LOL” 6:11:03 AM 11/30/02 “I want to say more, but this is a family forum.” 6:43:53 AM 11/30/02 “Yeah... the MANSON Family, LOL” 7:24:41 AM 11/30/02 “Good morning, everyone. I was up, but I'll be back in my sleeping bag before this prints.” 2:12:55 AM 12/01/02 “early to rise and early to bed keeps a man healthy wealthy and unwed!” 2:58:41 AM 12/01/02 “I be here at work again.....beddyby in 4 hours” 3:39:30 AM 12/01/02 “I'm up already--leave me alone!” 6:32:36 AM 12/01/02 “You guys are nuts! Hey, anybody Besides Me see Venus and that crescent Moon this morning? It was way cool....” 10:24:17 AM 12/01/02 “I just got up. I looove sleeping in! Good afternoon everyone!” 11:08:45 AM 12/01/02 Tilt “Mars should be in that same vicinity as well.” 11:14:34 AM 12/01/02 “I saw that gorgeous moon this early morning but no Mars or Venus. Must have been a bit too daylight out.” 5:59:54 PM 12/01/02 “Venus would be the second brightest object in the sky after the moon, looking like a bright star. Mars would be a reddish object, about the same size as a star. If it were getting light, you might still see Venus, but definitely not Mars.” 6:03:03 PM 12/01/02 “A few weeks ago I stuffed some 'stash' in a section of my hiking poles.I can't get it out------can anyone HELP!” 6:18:54 PM 12/01/02 “chopsticks? coathanger? suction? desperate need?” 7:54:53 PM 12/01/02 “Yes, it must've been nearly dawn when you saw it, Lyndy. Before that, Venus was shining like the headlight on a train. Mars was to the right of the Moon and Venus was to the lower right, making a nearly equilateral triangle. I think it was a niftier sight after twilight got going... making the crescent look smaller.” 8:38:58 PM 12/01/02 “'Was up North for the weekend. One of the high points was being able to turn over in bed, look out the window and see a gazillion stars. I sure wish there were less lights in the city!!!” 8:58:47 PM 12/01/02 “"Lights don't kill nightvision --- people kill nightvision!" Lights aren't inherently evil, they're just improperly shielded or pointed the wrong way (or BOTH) <GRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrr> (although I am tempted to buy a slingshot and shoot out all the streetlights in my neighborhood at times...)” 9:40:41 PM 12/01/02 “mornin people! , yeah its been a long time since I saw the milkyway proper....” 3:48:43 AM 12/02/02 Oh I'm Up Alright “Feels good not to be stuck in a tent for 12 hours.” 4:13:25 AM 12/02/02 “That crescent ought to be looking fairly spiffy this morning. According to this here unregistered moonrise software it should be about 5% full.” 5:00:31 AM 12/02/02 I'm up..... “wish I could go back to sleep! I think I have the crud that the rest of the family has had...really bad sore throat! :( Any remedies?” 5:10:10 AM 12/02/02 “Good morning all! Cloudy out, so can't see the moon or planets. Crazygurl, tea is good. For a bad sore throat, the Fisherman Lozenges are very effective but taste yucky. Hope that you feel better.” 5:17:09 AM 12/02/02 “Fresh squozed orange juice and a humidifier! JEEZ, I think I did my morning walk in half the time. It's actually CHILLED out there... about 25 F... 15 less than yesterday.” 5:34:32 AM 12/02/02 ahh, don't yell!!! “I'm up! coffeeeeeeeee pleaaaaaaaseeeeeeee! morning everyone! 20some degrees, cold!” 5:34:36 AM 12/02/02 “What an ungodly hour! I usually only see sunrise when I'm bping. Start a new job today - my first 8 to 4:30 in 35 years. A local company made me an offer I couldn't refuse - they're gonna pay me a lot of money to build models and dioramas for museums and nauture centers and the like. So now I get to make my living by living out a 12 year old's fantasy - drawing, building models, hiking and trail maintenance, and being a firefighter. I guess life could be worse. Gonna mean a major lifestyle change - early to bed and early to rise. May even have to cut out the late night caffeine! Cloudy and cold (10) up here, but what else is new in New England.” 5:46:35 AM 12/02/02 “Steiny that sounds like a great job! It is perfect for you. Let us know where the museam is so we can bring the kids and come see your work.” 5:50:24 AM 12/02/02 “Yo Lyndy - Current projects are an aquarium on the outer banks (NC) and a nature center in Norwell, MA. I may even be designing the logo for the aquarium and doing some graphics, and the job will involve travel for installation and discussion. I guess North Carolina in February would be a nice break from winter. Major drawback right now is that the job may prevent my going to Vina del Mar in January to build another reed boat, but these folks are pretty laid back and flexible, so that may yet happen. Gotta run - don't wanna be late my first day!” 5:56:26 AM 12/02/02 Thanks...got the tea going... “and the OJ..wish it was fresh squeezed though! Steiny..hope your day goes great..sounds like an incredible dream job!!!” 6:07:38 AM 12/02/02 “Steiny, Good luck with the new job. It sounds really cool.” 6:12:33 AM 12/02/02 25,000 bikers and not one fight!: That's peace! “Good morning from sunny Melbourne, Florida. A little Christmas Spirit: The 19-mile-long procession” 6:25:19 AM 12/02/02 “brrr....chillay! i brought all my plants in last night but forgot my little luffa vine.......how can i describe frostbitten half grown luffa gourds first thing on the morning walk?? a pity have a grateful day!” 6:33:57 AM 12/02/02 “i hate getting out of bed in the morning” 7:41:53 AM 12/02/02 Steiny “My hiker-husband (blueduc) builds fiberglass molds for a living~for new home builders! Do you just design, or do you work also w/fiberglass or another material?? Just wondering! Have a great first day! Kudos!! :)” 8:53:08 AM 12/02/02 Buddur is a tease! “Buddur...I think you ought to give a report, not just a tease, about being stuck in a tent for twelve hours!!!! Crazygurl, it goes fast, but no one in the family will be spared! I'm sorry you got the crud. Hot tea, cocoa and coffee helped me, lots of water and advil cold. My little one has it now. =(” 8:58:00 AM 12/02/02 TAG “You're IT!” 4:11:39 AM 12/03/02 28.2mi of the NCT “Ummmmmm...OK Sass. Hiked a part of the North Country Trail this weekend and by the time we got to camp on Sat it was about 5pm and snow was dumping from the clouds. Not much else to do but hold up in our tents...until around 7am the next morning. Oh the long winter nights. I gotta remember to bring a book next time.” 4:33:14 AM 12/03/02 “i't cold. I hate getting out of bed in the morning even more if it's cold!!! where is my coffee?” 5:43:52 AM 12/03/02 “It is cold and windy here. There is talk about a Noreaster. I have to check out the weather channel. It better not screw up my husband's flight home from Atlanta tomorrow.” 5:59:30 AM 12/03/02 “Buddur, that's just what we did at Rock Run on the AFT Sat. I got so windy that everyone just crawled in their tents and didn't emerge again until morning. Only a couple of snow showers there though.” 6:00:39 AM 12/03/02 “It's suppose to snow to night do da do da...I can't wait to see the suff...oh ta do da day!!!! HI guys..I'm feeling better!! Can you tell! Have a great day!!!!” 6:21:31 AM 12/03/02 “We have about an inch of snow from overnight squalls. It cold here too. Good hiking weather, but it's deer season so no hiking until that's over.” 6:23:20 AM 12/03/02 Jump to Page << prev
