The PUB light's ON! :D

[Mrleft8]

That'd be a hoot! I hope they stop and pick up Larry Boyle too!

[Bobby of Tulsa]

If I ever get up that way Glen, Phillip, Larry and Kevin will be with me.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Think I better leave for a few days. Things just dont seem right.

[Chip-skiff]

And leave me out here to look after the horses?

[David G]

And leave me out here to look after the horses?

The horses... what?

[seanz]

Think I better leave for a few days. Things just dont seem right.

Just remember to come back......If your gone for more than a day or two, Chip will polish your horse like it's brand new.


G&T, thanks. And a nice quite corner out of the wind and away from the demolition machinery.....

[Mrleft8]

Polish horses?
The wind knocked out the internet connection again last night.... Funny the connection went bad, but the power stayed on.
It's not cold this morning. It's damned cold this morning, and the cat decided to sleep by the wood stove instead of keeping my feet warm.
Today we have hot minestrone with traditional Italian bread, and lightly salted butter.
3 cheese tortellini, in a fra diavolo sauce, served with garlic bread and a small side salad.
Grilled Teriyaki boneless pork chops with mashed potatoes, and steamed baby peas in butter.
Beer battered chicken fingers, with our signature ginger/honey mustard dipping sauce.
Hot roast beef on lightly toasted rye, with, gooey melted Swiss cheese, mayonnaise, roasted sweet red peppers, onions, tomato, lettuce, and horse radish. Served with fries and a big kosher pickle.
Special on tap: Safari Lager

Polish horses?

Not sure why you want 'em, but here they are:

[Mrleft8]

Kosciusko was a hero around here....... We still use the mustard he invented.

[Mrleft8]

Just got off the phone with Margo. She says "Hi!" And apologizes for not stopping in, but says she's been busy, busy, busy.

I think she's just been practicing her jumping out of a cake thing in preparation for the EBS in June.....

[SaltyD from BC]

Hey all how they hangin? Cold out here, well not real cold but cold for here. Minooooos 7 Celciusogical so whazat like ... 18 farenheight? Somthin like that but the good news its comming to an end and we'll be back to west coast rain. But not before a bunch of snow on frozen pavement switching to freezing rain. Brilliant. Anyways, any of them peanuts left or did you hosers eat the whole sack? A bowl of yesterdays beef and barley sounds awesome. Soup is so much better day 2 and usually cheaper. And I'll take a warm guinness. Only cause its actually too damn cold for ice cold beer for this hombre..


Polish horses? That's just messed up. I think more skis and tobagans when I think old world transport in Poland. Maybe they traded the Spaniards for a horse or two? Don't ask me I was too lazy to study much history. What little I know in that dept is mostly from stories and such.

[David G]

Good News!

I've graduated. Went for my radiation appointment today - then had a long talk with the doc. He said I actually held up longer than most to the radiation. The nurse told me that - in 8 years - they've only had one person manage the full 30 treatments. Add in the fact that my throat cancer came from HPV, not smoking, (and is therefore less aggressive and less prone to recurrence) and he sent me out the door with a good prognosis and hearty congratulations. First followup visit in two weeks. Not out of the woods, yet, though. The side-effects continue to accrue for another 1-3 weeks before they start to fade. I'm feeling MUCH relieved to have reached this point, anyway!

A round for the house! Hell... let's even wake up Lefty and pour something into him!

[seanz]

Well done you.

I'll have a Gin and an RPG for the excavator that keeps shaking this house.

Sip, Whoosh, Boom........could be all the rage soon.

[Mrleft8]

Congratulations David!
Congratulations Salty!
Congratulations Seanz!
Congratulations ..... Err...... Ummmmmm.........
Congratulations everyone!
No..... No more of those peanuts....... BUT!
We have new different un-eaten peanuts! And they're warm out of the oven, and crunchy, salty yummy-ness in a shell!
It's snoring here..... Not looking forward to shoveling snore..... I think we need to bring that radiation zapper dealie over here, David, and see how it does on clearing out the driveway.....
It did such a good job on yer uvula... (And now that you say that you got that bug from HPV instead of smoking, it makes sense that you have one of those in yer throat...... Just like wattzername in that movie..... Linda Lovelace! )

OUTSTANDING news , good luck the rest of the way.

Wow..... I kinda liked that music.... Did I scare everyone away?

[Chip-skiff]

[SaltyD from BC]

Hell no your Lefyness, no. Great tunes. You know I remember back a few years back not too long after you opened up the pub and we'd play music all night long almost. I remember you saying one Thursday night that Thursday was the new Friday when a particular good Thursday night erupted in the pub. Ah, good times.

Anyways, for some reason I feel like a jug of sangria. Lots of ice and spice. Actually make it 6 jugs and a bunch of glasses look at the crowd come in. .

[SaltyD from BC]

[SaltyD from BC]

I dunno, sometimes you gotta be at one with the pain. Its all around us anyway ^^

[Mrleft8]

That guy's got an arm growing out of his armpit.
It's Friday..... Real Friday, not "Little Friday"...
It's been spitting snow all night, and it's supposed to continue off and on until Saturday afternoon..... A sweet 6-7 inches of fluffy, white, HELL!
Oh well.... This time last year we already had about 3' of the Devil's dandruff.
Today we shall feed off the backs off our own labor.
There's a hearty beef bourguignon, served with fresh out of the oven (Have you all noticed the bee hive bread oven?) crusty bread and butter.
Hot leek and potato soup.
Fried chicken with mashed potatoes, and steamed asparagus.
1 1/2Lb. boiled lobsters with steamed artichokes drowned in lemon butter, and fresh hand cut fried potatoes.
Sweet and sour baby back pork ribs with white rice, and stir fried mixed veggies.
Special on tap: Moretti Lager.

[Mrleft8]

Sigh..................

[David G]

My girl:









And - just for fun!

[SaltyD from BC]

Cool tunes L man. Makes me wish I didn't give up playing the trumpet. The only subject I ever got an A in was high school band, even made the inner city stage band in my home town which only had around 30,000 people in it so it wasn't tooo hard. LOL. Bud alas, chicks dug guitar players and not trumpet players in the 70s so the novelty wore off....

Stuck on our lil island today the jam tarts won't run the ferry till hopefully 3 pm. What's 50 to 60 knot winds between friends, I'd give it a whirl . Luckily they don't let me run the boat.

[Chip-skiff]

RIP Etta James. Great pipes and a hard life.

That Italian swing band was cute but they didn't quite have their act together. The bass player was particularly annoying.

Check this out. She's a Canadian with an Italian name, and swings like crazy—

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Here is some swing for Mr.Skiff

Yay David--this is very good news!

[jbchicoine]

All this great music here today, and me running out of bandwidth for my monthly billing cycle...

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Wonder where the Wolfman is? Glen you around? I guess that ChrisBen must have checked out. I miss that guy. Ya, I miss Mr.7 and Geno too. Kind of a birds of the feather thing I guess.

[Chip-skiff]

Say Hey, Bobster! Great lashings of drink for all.

That tractor is an excellent rhythm section. Is it a Massey-Ferguson? Doesn't quite look like a Farmall or Ford (or are the two last ones the same? That's all the red tractors I know.

This guy's a hot picker. Another white-bread Scandinavian tryin' to be Django. And he pretty near gets there.



The main thing about a rhythm section is it has to be rock steady. That gives the soloists room to move.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

A little practice and he might get good. How are ya tonight?

[Chip-skiff]

How are ya tonight?

In Heaven with my feets hangin' out.

The Wolf Goddess bought some Dover sole filets and I just cooked 'em up in a very trad way (she grew up Catholic and I usually cook fish on Fridays, even though she eats whatever) with a butter/sauv blanc/saffron sauce. Bottle of Kim Crawford Sauv Blanc.

Scarily warm today, after a nice snowstorm. I spent the afternoon cutting parts for a solar hot air collector space heater thing (see the Greenhouse Update thread) that I'm making out of scrap from the greenhouse and other projects. Can't work on the boat. Gotta do something.

How's by you?

[Paul Pless]

Now that the old geezers have passed out, lets take over the jukebox. . .

[Chip-skiff]

Penetrate, desecrate, etc. Ugh. What do you expect from someone named Trent?



What next, Plessner? Marilyn Manson? Eminem?

[Chip-skiff]

I'll restate: Glad to have you in the PUB, Paul, but could you indulge in a bit of friendly gab before subjecting us to Trent Reznor's malignant psychosexual pathology?

[SaltyD from BC]

Holy heavy speak Chip

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Got the fire going and coffee brewing. Morning folks.

[Paul Pless]

Morning Bobby, I guess we can put The Weather Channel back on the tv. . . .

[seanz]

Sunny today.......





Cup of nice gin for me, I'm off to bed. Night,

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Morning Mr.Pless, Hows the foot doing?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

If I had a cup of gin I probably wouldn't be headed to bed. Night seanz

[Paul Pless]

Morning Mr.Pless, Hows the foot doing?

Seems a little better, I could actually get boots on yesterday. Of course that's probably part of the problem, I get to feeling better and then 'over do it' for a day and set my self back a week. . .

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I am sure someone would say, thats a man for you.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I hope I don't faint from hunger before the barkeep shows up. You can tell by looking that I am suffering.

[Mrleft8]

Damn AT&T.... Internet out last night, and in and out today.....
It's snowing, and the world is in panic!
As if by this time last year we hadn't already had 3' of snow....

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Oh crap, I think I tore something. Trying to play plumber. Broken supply line under kitcen sink. A large Tequila please.

[Glen Longino]

Here you go, Bobby!
I've been standing by just in case of such an emergency...two large Tequilas!
Careful there buddy...you don't need any new rips in your ole hide.
