Well, it arrived today! I couldn't be happier. Of course, I haven't decorated it yet, but the basic functionality is fantastic!



Hope everybody's Saturday is a good one!

KIWI STEVE IT IS SATURDAY.

Patrick, are you sure?

yes I'm sure and you

It's a B E A UTIFUL Saturday here in VA!!! Going to hit the mountains shortly for dirt biking

Kiwi....you've gone to the dark side! I knew it was a matter of time. Hanging out with us; you were doomed to be ruined....LOL.

Kobi

Saturday, Sunday, it's all the same under here. Peaceful, quiet and non-threatening. I love it.

Remember the one rule while under there. NO eaty the brown tic tacs

Jerry,

What sort of snacks and things do you keep under your genuine Jerry's desk? I was thinking of Hot Pockets and Everclear.

Enjoy, Kobi. Wear your protective gear. I have mine on under here.

The days just seem to blend together when you spend as much time under the desk as I do.

How we feeling Patrick?

Got a new helmet so I'll sport that today. Don't have all the MX garb;hubby does. I'm just out there to have fun and piff off the black bears

Hot Pockets?!? LOL...made me think about that comic Gaffigan!!!

Enjoy your desk Kiwi

Kobi

As you can see, I have been doing this a long time. Here I am in the 6th grade.

Hey - remember when we used to have air raid drills in school and had to sit under our desks? Ooooops = showing my age!

Absolutely, Gail.
Duck and Cover!

Still works today...

hot pocket

Kiwi, I love Jim Gaffigan, and saw that on HBO...absolutely hysterical!

Just don't eat the sugar babies under the desk...lol!

Angus, nice to see you join in

I remember the drills under the desk...the russians are coming the russians are coming...

I got a message from Angela's GADGET and they got their KLM flight..first try...to LAX! We pick them up in an hour an a half...I gotta get in the shower! wooooohooo! Let the mini meet begin! I can't wait to give both of them a big hug...I'll make Martini post and tell you all hi (if he don't, I'll go all HK on him)....

Any thing but that, although in Martini's case it might be warranted.

Pinki Dinki Do,

Is this you in the foreground and Jerry in the background?

Under the desk music:
Barry McGuire - Eve of Destruction
Note the dancers in background.

DAM, them be fuzzy times for me.

Yeah, Jerry me too. I think the flip side of the "Eve of Destruction" 45 was "Eve of Salvation"
How many people know what a 45 is today???

The brown a**d is bad.

Oh man, I just can't do the desk thing... not on a beautiful Saturday!!
We can see the sun and there is only a bit of ash.... I'm actually sitting outside
I took this with my cell phone this morning while walking Ms. Rasta

I've got some Mini-meet shopping to do

Geez, Boom

I don't blame ya. Beauuutiful.

Man, BOB would love that!!!!!!
How's the pup doing?

She's just awesome! I gave her a good long bath this morning, now she's just the purtiest dawg you ever saw!!
This morning was one of those times that I really have to pinch myself that I live here. When I left Washington DC my boss said that of the three of us girls leaving, I would be back.... pppffffttttppptttt to you Gerry!!! HA HA!! I'm the only one who stayed! Funny how I always think of him and that comment when I'm saying thanks for the last 17 years

Guy just sent me the update from the fire:

How'd you like to be the dude who owns the ranch the fire started on - his workers were doing some welding and sparked it. Ouch!!!

Boom,

I've been following your posts on the fire, but I didn't realize how long it's been burning! Yikes!
What an ordeal for all the affected areas, fire fighters and their families. I'll be doing my rain dance tonight with vigor!

Thanks Kiwi It's really hard on those who live along the mountain front (the Riviera of the US). Someone asked me if we had evacuation plans but the truth be told if the fire makes it to our house... Santa Barbara and we have a lot more to worry about than our house!!

Look what Finally just got delivered

I had this surfboard restored as a Xmas present for Guy. It was his best friend's and really means a lot to him for sentimental reasons. The restorer ran into some problems and well.... let's just call it Xmas in August!

Hang ten dude! And Merry Christmas.

I hope everything went well with Pinki's house guest?

WELCOME TO AMERICA MOD'S FROM THE OTHER SIDE!

Linki, go to bed!

Have a nice weekend everyone.


Check Please.

C O W A B U N G A

Have a great evening Jerry and tomorrow is a day off for you, right? Give Louise a hug and Caymus a pat

Because of Finki, I don't do hugs any more! But Louise loves to be patted.

LOL!!! Timmmy do you think he'll be surprised when he gets home tomorrow night? The restorer said he left some of the dings visible on purpose so that he would still have his friend's touch but it's watertight. Now Guy just has to learn how to surf! HAHAHa not my cup o tea!

Yes, a day off, then going to see a concert, Boston and Friends will be doing a benefit for the Brad Delp foundation.

Sounds like a wonderful Sunday!

I don't do surfing or what I like to call (SWSOTSS) simulated wounded seal on the surface silhouette !

Hi guys! Just posted on the other thread. Nice board Boom! And you're right, I have to pinch myself too sometimes because I live in such a beautiful place!

Angela and Martin arrived safely. Michael and Angela are napping, and Martini and I are playing on our puters

Yeah!! Martini & Angela are in Da-House!

Timmmy that's too funny - just ask CB's better half

So here's what it looks like from where I type... my laptop on the outdoor kitchen bar... looking towards the mountains....

Being the consummate romantic I always remind myself that when Guy and I are apart we still see the same sun or moon... lately, I look at this and think

we are seeing the same head of smoke!!!

At least the wind is blowing the smoke and ash away from SB for today

btw- I took those pics with my new camera!!!! Can you say happy dance!!!

HI all, We are safe and sound.. (I don't dare not to post it here, since I'll be getting HK if I didn't post...)

Oh, Martini I'm sure you'll be getting HK something no matter what you do!

Boom - You really have made made in the shade. Whata life! Does it rain gold there (when it does rain, that is)?

Martin - Is Inki Dinki Pinki Do spinning in place or stumbling about the place like a drunken sailor? -LOL

Glad you made it safe and sound.

Kinki is doing crazy stuff. I cannot tell or I'll be Hello Kitty-ed for the rest of my trip...

martini is doing CRAZY STUFF...you know how those Dutch are!!!!! We are having a dueling computer session on the back deck....lol! HELLO KITTY HELLO KITTY HELLO KITTY....Martin does not know that I have put HELLO KITTY sheets on their bed....mmmmuuuuaaahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Oh, we don't get the master bedroom??

I do like the Sesamistreet sheets there though. It goes so well with your wallpaper...

Yes, Martin. Until only a few days ago I would not have been able to read the HK word in your post without a lapsing into a mental funk.

Now, after several weeks of therapy I no longer under the evil influence of Inki Dinki Stinki Do's HK spell.

I would pass on the advise of others to wear a tin foil helmet tonight while you sleep or there will be UPS trucks lining up on Monday.

Yea, big bird is a little scary when you wake up in the middle of the night...I have nightmares sometimes....MARTIN, QUIT STARING OVER MY SHOULDER!!! lol!

If you guys could see us, we are about 10 feet apart on our puters on the back deck...lmao...

Kiwi, we have removed all of the tin foil from the house, so martin and angela have no defense from hello •••••....mmmmooooaaahahahahahahah

wtf???? so you can't say hello ••••• anymore???? ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• •••••??????

I tried to protect Steve and Jerry from the EVIL K i t t y...

omg, i am going to go through withdrawals if I can't type hello ••••• hello ••••• hello •••••....

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

It appears there is some white magic on this board as well!

There is one with the magic thouch...
Oh, and Kinky, step into the guestroom, you can stop the withdrawls....

Martin, I do not know you well, but I can tell you that from this day forward, I am forever in your debt.

Ding Dong the •••••'s dead!
Free at last... Free at last.

No more "didacted".

Be careful with what you say Steve, although I do have some knowledge of white magic, I do have an evil side....

Kiwi, Martin is bald, and he looks a little like Dr. Evil...if I had my camera here, I would take a picture and post it, he has a tatoo of hello ••••• on the top of his head

Yes master.. Yes. Whatever you wish is my command.

I'm going back under my genuine imitation Jerry's desk now. I'll let the two evil ones duke it out.

••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• •••••

Couldn't resist

OMG, I go off to do a little vaccuming and laundry and look at what the playground has brought up
Kiwi, don't go away... while I was pre-disposed it dawned on me.... Why "Kiwi"???? Is he from New Zealand? Is he a flightless bird??? Or, perhaps have a green-ish tone to him???

Can you please give me the answer so I can put my head to rest. TYVM!!

Ask the one who gave me my BT name...

Crap!
Note to self: Leave some stoli under desk.

Boom,

I'm back. Mr. Stoli and I are back under the desk getting re-aquainted.

Hot Pockets!

Boom, Kiwi is his Hula name

We were just given Dutch soaps, Stroopwaffels, Dutch chocolate, and a Dutch cook book hee hee And all we have for them are Hello ••••• sheets...

Steve, pour another stoli and come out from under the desk

My full hawaiian name is Kiwi Akoni.

Glad Martin & co. arrived safely to you Cynde!

Now as far as Kiwi and H**** K****....oye, all I can say is he's been ruined and at under 200 posts?!? OMG

Back from our mtn. dirt biking. No black bears this trip. Saw lots of hikers though; beautiful day here in VA. Tired this evening so will probably say night night early.

Cyn..enjoy your company

Kobi

Speaking of Hawaiian. One of Mr. Stoli's favorites...

Kiwi....been meaning to tell ya that my Daddy lived in Ft. Wayne; for 36 years. My step sis still lives there. Dad worked for N&W railroad and transferred up there from VA. He used to live on Tamarak Drive & then Oak Creek Drive Nice flat land up there!

Kobi

Kobi,

Glad to hear your back in one piece. Ruined? I resent that. I was ruined way before I was HK'd.

Kobi,

A thousand years ago, when I was 19, I worked one summer for the N&W. Worked on a section track gang. Liked it a lot.

Very flat. Lots of corn.

(Message edited by steve3453 on August 18, 2007)

Mr. Stoli and I have to go. It's time to strip down to start the Zaca rain dance for Boom.

Night everybody...

Night Kiwi...

Tara...NICE BOARD I know your man is gonna love that gift!!!


Kobi

OMG!!! You all have been having too much fun without me BUT, my computers are pristine and ready to fire on all pistines!!!

Kiwi, sorry to leave you hanging there. Just after I typed that I poured myself a glass of wine, then my computer friends came over to pull my bu$$ out of the jamb I was in! Then... my wonderful neighbor (bless her heart!! Seriously) came over to make sure I was doing alright and wasn't lonely... "Do you want to come over and hang out with me..." aaaagggghhhh!!!!
No!! I just want to get back to BT!!!!

That sounds a whole lot worse than it really is

NP, Boom
Glad to hear your bits and bytes are in order.

Nighty-Night

Ayup... I'm a regular crazy poster now!
See you tomorrow Kiwi!
