Will Work For Food II

“LMAO! good one, Chief.

Have fun, gojo! Hope you held onto the e-mail with phone numbers. And, for god's sake, keep it away from Buddha Bear and Nigal, if they're on your agenda. LOL!”

“Mi, Gissmeaux, e Papa is de Candada de t'Ronto (no mo Kubeq). Wee l'at The Troit de l'ventee seeks cloux. Wee sleepee de truk le l'venty fores keeleemeters moor.

Wee fono Tarabool e Sassqufraux e Smellygeel e evee boody noquetern.

Old vwaa!

Sarauxbelle

B'OL!
(o:3”

“So, you're in toronto, will call soon? lmao!

Smellygeel?! ROTFBOL!”

“You just can't mix Sarabelle speek and French!! Lol”

“I didn't think Belle was a French Poodle!”

“lol!

If you're still reading... you might want to consider the Blue Water Bridge in Sarnia vs. Ambassasdor in Windsor. It's a quicker drive and is especially faster if you're coming through around rush hour. Detroit will be a mad house as will that bridge.

later gator”

“Mi yellee labbadaeioux.”

“tara -
I spoke with a guy about that option. He said all trucks are required to cross there, but car lanes are available. I noticed you mentioned that particular crossing in your email. I'm gonna go for it. Now.

Y'all north of town?”

“Oui Madame Sarabelle, un yellee labbadaeioux qui parle Francaise?”

“We're north of Detroit, yes.
And, southwest of Port Huron (Sarnia).

Different directions than I gave you in email. You'll take 94 W to 696 W to 5 N. The rest is the same.

There's a slightly quicker way (a little more confusing) if you take 94 W to 59 W. Gimme a call if ya want those directions. They're more involved.”

“I just hope I don't have a stinky butt!”

“But that's a good thing! (at least to Belle it is)”

“And you don't think it is to gojo?”

“LOL@Chief!

Wish I could be there!!

Have a Sam Adams for me... Oh and have one for smiley girl, too. She doesn't drink too much. ;o)

I'm sorry, smiley. Between Saturday night and the snow, you probably don't want to come and visit me again. I'll do better next time... If I'm still in the UP.”

“And woooooo daddy! He's ONE HOT COOKIE!

(hehehee!)”

“Hey! Good to hear he got here some what safe and sound! I didn't get a break at all tonight, so I couldn't call. I just got home and I'm drinking my first beer of the evening. What's up fer tomorrow?”

“We're doing a dayhike at a nearby park. 47 miles or so. Come by or what never.”

“LOL!”

“Dude.
Two days on the road and NO BEERS!
I'll prolly have Tara's fridge dried out before retiring. No matter - I'll be up and ready at dawn.

You coming by?”

“are the services that you are rendering to the fair and lovely, Tarabull, in exchange for beer and food...hmmmmmmmmm...wink wink...we really want to know. Down south, you installed a deck, what would you be installing up north........?????????”

“g - I don't have to work until 6 or so tomorrow. I'm game fer a little ditty. Anyone else wanna play hookie?”

“that should read = 6 pm or so tomorrow.”

“lmao! "hot cookie" ?... at least use words I'd really use!”

“OK then:

"Bulakka oompt dwabba beestu cromweeba *clok* *clok* mwaaa scrabda!" (strutting around like a chicken)”

“lmao!

Gojo, you rat! Why'd you haveta take so long to get through Canada?

Hey did you get your cavities searched at the bridge?”

“Sunshine, of course I want to visit you again. You don't think in the 4.5 years I was up there I'd been through all of that already? :)

It was such a treat to meet Gojo, Belle, and Gizmo last night. The aminals were crazy last night, and quite entertaining. As was Gojo, of course. :)”

“Hey did you get your cavities searched at the bridge?"
~Sassafras

Not at first, but I was persistent.


I spent most of Wednesday on the backroads of Quebec province. It was like France w/o all the French. Soooo, I didn't make it very far into Ontario by bedtime. I had to cover, like, 23,000 km yesterday. I'm sorry I mussed-up y'alls big plans.


Chief -
Yeah, I'm gonna make it to WY - eventually. I'm gonna try to do a Lizs visit in MN, then the Bighorns, then dude's stuff in Casper. (sorry Casper Dude, but your handle escapes me just now, and I'm waaay to lazy to search it up at the moment).

Another option under consideration is to enter Canada via BWCA (I still have $3.97 Canadian that's burning a hole in my pocket). I'd swing west and return via MT, ie, Billings. Then from Billings to Casper (via Cody?).

From Casper, I plan to buzz to Challis, ID.


PepperDog -
Yesh! I soooo want to come to CA. May I invite myself to your parts? Thanks.”

“That's ok...nother time.”

“Casper dude would be Garfum. I think you're thinking of garfums buddy, stratdewd.

Approximately when do you think you'll be in my neighborhood? I may have the camper set up for deer hunting mid-October, and elk hunting early November. Maybe you want to tag along on that. Some good dayhiking anyways. Oh, and maybe a little partying too!!!”

“Ya'll won't believe this... and I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it for myself... but SARABELLE REALLY TALKS. It's so amazing. I'll have to tell ya more about our conversations another time, tho.

Gojo has been a great guest, so far. Belle and Gizmeaux have been great, too. Lots of fun.”

“Gojo, you have e-mail. You left a couple of things here you might be needing. Send me an address somehwere you'll be heading and I'll get them off in the mail on Monday.

Sarabelle, thanks for leaving your number on the fridge.”

“gojo - invite yourself "to my parts"???? that sounds like an interesting thought. There are lots of Californian TT'ers would be proud to add you to their life lists. I'm afraid that my dogs might not be as friendly and welcoming to other canines as some seem to be but I'm sure we could round up a bed and work for you if you got this far.”

“Ski -
My framing hammer, right?
I discovered that earlier today. I had to make do with a 13 oz trim hammer...
I thought back and remembered taking the hammer out of the truck after I was packed - some nails to deal with. I reckon I left it lying summers.

What else? hmmmm... guess I'll check the mail.

Keep the hammer. Remember, tho - it's a left-handed model, so it may take some gettin' used to...
hehehee!



I got here to DHutch's place on Friday p.m. I'm closing-in a large window for her. I made a Depot run yesterday, and commenced working today. The job includes some drywall hangin' and finishin', which requires a couple three coats of mud and adequate drying time between. I'll be troubleshooting electrical problems during that time.

DHutch is cool. We've had a great weekend.

Gonna do a Yooper hike next weekend - Pictured Rocks. Dogs'll hafta be kenneled.

Hope to visit Sunny afterwards. Then Lizs.”

“Peppy -
I don't neccessarily (sp?) need the work, but I DO wanna see the local backcountry. I mentioned you because Om brought up your name when we were discussing her trip to Kings Canyon.

I figured the Nymphs would be busy boarding by then, and you're the only other Californian I know.

I will likely do WY, ID, and BC before CA, so it will be some weeks before I reach your area...

I'll be in touch.”

“You're gonna stop by and visit?? That would be waaaaay cool! Sure wish I could go hiking with ya'all. :( I was really looking forward to it.

Have you still got my phone number? Need my work number? I'd love to see you again. :)”

“I took the kids apple picking again today. I'll bake a fresh apple pie for ya! I've got vanilla ice cream to go with it, too. mmmm, mmmm good!”

“Jeesh, and all I got was some beer and a hamburger.. ;)”

“BTW, gojo, there's stuff to do at my house if you get bored later this week. Ya got my cell #.”

“Ya got my cell #."

I got yer "other" number, too, girl!

Oh yeah - I was informed by Paper Hangers of America Local 1234 that removing yer wallpaper would be a hanious(sp?) violation of Michigan code 72-9-3b, and could result in a revocation of my license to skirt around unwanted chores.
hehehee!

Severiuosly, tho - I haint fergot about you. I'll be around all week. I'll be in touchy-feely.

Wow, Sunny -
How could I get oh so close and not darken your door? I'd love to visit and meet the yet to be met sunspots.

I finally got a cell phone, BTW. Gimme an e if'n you's want it.”

“gojo, i don't blame you one bit for not wanting to remove the wallpaper. there's plenty other stuff to do. i guess we'll be chatting!”

“I'll be done here at DHutch's tomorrow. I'll tackle your wallpaper Thursday...”

“gojo, i'll be around tomorrow night if'n ya need a place to crash while doing smiley's work. gimme a call or something.”

“Kewl.
The ignore feature rocks!”

“Oh yeah,
hurry back with all those other silly lil' handles you use. I'm on ignore fire!”

“pr!ck”

“hehehe j/k!”

“gojo, can you install some bi-fold doors too?”

“"gojo, can you install some bi-fold doors too?"
~smiley ghoul

You tell me...
Can I install some bifold doors, or what?

(don't mention the valence...pweeeeez?)”

“yeah, we'll keep that between you and me.... :)”

“Hey man! Good work done here. It was great to meet you. Heat to ruin the image but your a good guy. Oh, and the flowers...beautiful, thanks

Hope you're having a great hike. It will give tters enough time to give you shhht here about decorating my dining table with a beautiful autumnal setting before you left. So pretty.”
