The PUB light's ON! :D

[SaltyD from BC]

Sounds like a good one

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Thats one good lookin saw, I still think it needs to sleep next to the bed before it gets all dirty.

[ChrisBen]

Ya, under his pillow would be best. Gotta put up my feets. Se you in the morn fer coffee.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Nite Chris.

[Mrleft8]

You got wire fencing trees out there!!!!!!!?????????
Damn! I wish I had a couple of those here on the property!..... They're expensive though!.... You use them for burning?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Now ya see why he needed that big ol saw.

[Mrleft8]

Does that have a decompression button?.... I always thought those were for sissies until I tried to pull start a Stihl 096 w/o pushing the button..... Just about dislocated my elbow.....

[Mrleft8]

Now ya see why he needed that big ol saw.

Looks light compared with my two Stihls, but light is good 99% of the time.

[Mrleft8]

Where's DaveyG been hiding?.... He run off with Geno and Seayou7?

[Chip-skiff]

Nite Chris.

Pretty quiet tonight. All the wee fellows tucked up in their beds.

When I went in the bedroom for my nap with the dog, the kitty-man was snoozing, too. His bed is on top of my dresser. I'm not mad about the arrangement, but he likes it. Penthouse suite.



A real howler of a thunderstorm rolled through about 4:30. Thunder, lightning, strong winds, horizontal rain, roof gutters brimming. Fifteen minutes and it was gone. Terrified the doggo. She's still a basket case.

Kitty's like me— long as he's not out in it, he doesn't give a damn.

[SaltyD from BC]

Yes boss thank tha lord its got a decompression button. Wire fencing and burning? You mean I should burry it in the brambles so some poor bugger down the road has to root it out and burn it? Oops, sorry Chip that's prolly a raw subject

Welcome back, It has been a while. Hope the world has been treatin you well. I got to get some coffee goin.

That cat has Chip well trained I would say. Those thunder boomers are sure hard on dogs that don't like loud noises.

[Hwyl]

[Bobby of Tulsa]

On a 1 to 10 scale I think I am about a 3 1/2.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I think the coffee drinkers must be sleepin in this morning.

[seanz]

G'day Ernie, long time, no sea.

[Hwyl]

[Hwyl]

Some mothers ruin for Sean

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Gin and tea for Seanz, and have a good sleep sir. I been wondering if Chris might get caught by some of the wildlife down there.

[Glen Longino]

Any coffee left, Bobby?
I've been missing you gents since I made the poor decision to do some work.
I think I can finish it today and get back to my normal lazy routine.
Have a good day all!

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Dangit Glen, You are supposed to know better by now. Drink this It will clear your head.

[Mrleft8]

Damn it's cold and blowy this morning.... Must be gusting up over 40MPH.....

Good coffee... Got the wood stove opened up and ticking, and the cat's holding off on tearing Aldo's nose off.... For now.....
How's @MT this morning?.... NIce to see your smiling face!..
Good morning Gareth, Glen, Bobby-san (((((((GONNNNGGGG))))))!!!!!! Nighty night Seanz... I find that a little juniper oil helps with sleep too sometimes...

[Figment]

How much juniper oil is in a half-pint of gin?

[Mrleft8]

It is Friday....
And it is not raining....
But it's really too unpleasant to hang out on the back porch....
We can cook some stuff out there though...

Like a rotisserie lamb which we actually started @3 this morning so that it'd be ready by lunch....
With a nice cous-cous and orange lentil salad with crunchy bits of cucumber, red onion, and apple.
Vegetarian spring rolls (Not grilled outside) with napa cabage, marinated ginger, cellophane noodles, and other yummy stuff. Served with a sweet and slightly spicy hot dipping sauce (Most of the ingredients are either too gross to list, or are unknown in english, so I just close my eyes and go...).
We also have burgers, dogs, chicken parts, and we even found a slab of tofu in the walk-in that we can throw on the grill....
there's a pot of St. Augustine shrimp on the stove, and our signature cocktail sauce.
Roger Stouff sent a huge box of Crawdads up from Chitimacha, La. and we have those on the ring burner out back with new potatoes, corn on the cob, and about a half gallon of Tabasco sauce..... (We have plenty of fresh crusty bread for mopping...)
And finally, we have ham and cheese sandwiches with fries and pickles....
Special on tap: Alexander Keith's IPA.
And just in case the birthday girl stops in.....

[Bobby of Tulsa]

71f and windy the chain is standing straight out. I'll have some crawdads and beer, plees.

[Mrleft8]

A half pint.

Got you a new viagra prescription eh?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

You be a funny man. Does that guttering of yours have those snap together thingys at the seams?

[Mrleft8]

You be a funny man. Does that guttering of yours have those snap together thingys at the seams?

In theory.... But they don't snap together with the gaskets in place. I broke one connector piece trying to get it to "snap together". I took the gaskets out, and they snap together. But they leak like a sieve.. So now I have some Lexel caulk that I'm gonna squeeze in the gasket channel to see if I can get that to do the trick... But not today. It's waaaaay too windy for me to even think about climbing a ladder, much less play with vinyl gutter on a ladder.
And it's too cold. I'd freeze my finger tips off. It's sposed to be down in the low-mid 20s tonight.... (Gotta love spring time in New England!)

[Bobby of Tulsa]

This stuff I have has a piece with rubber gaskets that fit on the inside a Piece that snaps on around the out side to tighten up the gasket side. Anywho that guttering manages to shrink enough in cold weather to move two or three inches and pull apart at the seams.

[Mrleft8]

That would assume that it ever gets warm enough to expand to begin with.....

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I started to say, it will probably never get hot enough to droop.

[ChrisBen]

Mornin folks, another balmy day here in paradise. How's everyone?

[SaltyD from BC]

I be good. Its Friday. Mornin Chris, Douglas, Bobby, Glen, seanz et al

Hey Bobby, I got the phones hooked up to take bow orders; it took some wrangling and bribes but here's our new number:

Bobby-san's Bamboo Bows: 1 - 800 - (((((((GONNNNGGGG))))))

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Hey guys, where yall been all morning? If you woulda been here you coulda helped me put a new draw string in our vertical blinds, they are 105inches wide. You would not believe how many small parts can fall outa them thangs. After inventing some new words cause I started at the wrong end with the string, it is finished. Now it is beer thirty.

[ChrisBen]

Hey Bobby, i coulda helped with the cussin part but the wi-fi server went down last night an didn't get fixed till almost noon.

[Mrleft8]

Feel good.....
I just went to Wal*Mart for the third time in my life today because Carter wanted me to pick up a few things that we both figured would be significantly cheaper there than at a "local" store.... $130 and 2 hours later I get home to find that the fire extinguisher is flat (no pressure) and missing it's mounting bracket. AND they didn't put the receipt in the bag, so I have no way to return it.....
I despise that place with a passion. If I could, I would ban them from the face of the earth. They are a pox on humanity.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Man I coulda used ya. That Salty guy was busy and Glen don't cuss And Lefty was using all his words on varmints. I really could use a cold one right now.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Lefty ifin you just want to exchange it you don't need no stinkin receipt.

[ChrisBen]

Man I coulda used ya. That Salty guy was busy and Glen don't cuss And Lefty was using all his words on varmints. I really could use a cold one right now.

Glen don't cuss?? He's a Texican!! Did he ferget the words? It's a little early for me but I got some Sierra Nevadas on ice if yer up for one o them.

[Mrleft8]

If I want to go back to that store...... I almost think it'd be worth $20 to someone to keep me away from there so someone doesn't get hurt, and I don't end up in jail.....
I hate that place so much that if I wasn't such a rational, clear thinking individual I could easily blow the bastards off the freakin' face of the earth.
Few things in life would make me happier than seeing every single Wal*Mart in the world shut down, and plowed under.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

They sure would be a lot of folks outa work ifin ya done that.

[Curtism]

Someone get Lefty a cold one. And here's a little song for the savage beast in all of us who've gotten something home, only to find it was a:



(Check out his guitar right at the very end of the song, lol.)

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Nothin like good beer and friday afternoon. That guys just a little hard on them strings I would say. Can I get you something Curtism?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Lefty just tell me where else can you go, besides Lowes or Home Depot that has at least 15 registers with only 1 checker and at least 5 of the self serve thingys and only one of them open and the person watching them is busy picking their nose or something. Cant shop at Target, they don't sell beer or guns.
