Evening everyone. I just caught up on the cc threads after a day of running around. Terry and I were going to go to a Rays ball game, but the area was hit with bad storms. Lots of lightning and big rain. The team plays in a dome, but getting there would have been no fun. There's another game tomorrow that we can go to.
Cynde, hope your feeling better today.
You too, PATRICK!!
Kobi, How far do you guys travel to go biking? Do you have dirt bikes or ATV's?
Bette, have fun diving with Timmy and his peeps.

Hey, Linda!! Sorry about the weather and no game for you guys today :-(

Rob and I have three Yamaha dirt bikes; Rob has 2 and I have one....LOL! We try to ride each weekend and ride up in the mtns of VA & WbygodVA :-) It's about 25 miles from our house to where we park the SUV and trailer. It's beautiful up there for sure. We ride on trails up there that are FDR (forest development roads). There are 100's of miles of trails to ride around here!
It's not far from Sugar Grove Naval Base. Highly classified base BUT we know they work on ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) :-) Friend works there.

Today was great riding as we had gotten some rain and it's nice to ride on the trails when they aren't SO dusty!

Bette, almost time for me to go drafting LOL! I'm on an all girl's fantasy football team so ought to be fun :-) I am ready to rumble LOL!

Call me "Blond" but what is a fantasy football team?

You're not blonde LOL!
It's an internet football thing. You pick/join a team, pick players and then you're off. I am doing it for the first time, this year, by myself so I'm learning as I go along :-)

Hi ladies. Sorry, I was on another site reading up on Dancing with the Stars. Warren Sapp, a former Tampa Bay Buccaneer player, is one of the dancers this season. I bet he will get the boot the first round. He's a big defensive guy, so he may not be too light on his feet. I could be wrong - never judge a book.....
Kobi, my ex and I used to ride way back when I lived in Kansas. I had a little Suzuki - maybe a 90cc. He had a bigger one, but I can't remember what size. I liked riding, but I'm such a clutz I was always running into something. We would throw the bikes in the back of the truck and to out of city limits to some trails. My favorite was going to Colorado and riding the fire trails. Of course going to Colorado and just sitting there is fun.
Bette, are you working late tonight?

I just stole PS's picture of Tabasco from yesterday.
Basco
Is just me, or does he look like he is squeezing in from under the trim board?

LOL I was thinking the same Linda. He DOES look like he is just crawling from under the trim board.

Well I'm trying to finish here at 6pm but with my job you never know :-(

OK, I'm all drafted and my team's in place. Let's see if I have a winning team.
Bye Linda...sorry I missed you on here.

Bette, we're an all girl league is what I should have said but we're all individual peeps picking NFL players for our team. My team is the Backyardigins :-)

WOW, I need to check the weather channel. Crazy stuff and it needs to stay away from the coast of North Carolina until.....well....the next few months. We're going beaching this coming weekend!

Do you even want to SEE the top song of the summer?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1Y8utsY6LY'''

Ah, I think I like it.

My best friend lives with us, kinda like a boarder as she pays rent plus, is a certified counselor, but still by best friend and coworker, and my hubby knows me and loves me, so THEY have the political discussions (as they are most at odds), and I just chime in when it's my time. It's all good. :-) I promise you that. :-) Larry's upset that I crossed the line, and he's telling me that Obama will raise our taxes. I asked him for clear cut proof.

They're out there talking f stops now. lol (camera stuff)

Dinner's almost done, still the "Kathy's going on vacation diet" for all. A pork stir fry. The other white meat. No bread, no pasta, no salad, just pork and veggies with Mojo sauce. I'm tellin' ya, that's all it takes. :-)

Enjoy your weekend, everyone. :-)

Hubby borrowed a fuse from my Jeep for the Golf cart so I had to middle drive it today Kobi. I'm used to it though but we sure had a lot of mail for it being before the holiday catches up with it. Tuesday will be heavy for sure.

We had a little bumpiness for the first 30 minute from the upper bands of Gustov... I will now have a 3.5 hour wait here in Houston for the 11:30 pm redeye - wondering if they will retrace my flight here from SW Florida and zip through between the two storms or if we will hug Central America and go around Gustov to the south ???? I'm going to ask the pilot because inquiring minds want to know !

good choice. My F-I-L is a pilot for Delta and if they can get you out they will. But if you get stuck I have family just to the north of you in Conroe if you need a place to lay you little head for a few days.

Once you get out of Houston Texas is Great. My Hubby is from there and we have toured most of the state. Lots of places much better than downtown Houston. No Offence intended to residents of Houston of course.

I'm sure it a great place to visit - I only meant that Gustov is predicted to hit very close and very hard in a couple of days. Cat 4 now and it's just entering into the Gulf!

expected to turn to a 5 then for some reason they say it will drop back to a 4 before landfall.

Talk to an old fisherman in Pensacola a while back and he believes that between Ivan and Katrina the storms have carved a path in the Gulf that these other storms do seem to be following these past few years.

Timmmy, you are getting out of there in the nicky, nick of time. Gregg and Tiffany are just about an hour from where you are right now. I am so glad he is with her, they are watching Gustuv very closely.

Me too, Timmmmy, me too! Gregg will make sure Tiff will be o.k. This Gustuv freaks me out, but thinking by the weather guys, it may go above Houston, but Louisiana somewhere is going to take a big hit again, Galveston should just get rain and wind? Well, I am hoping that is all they get. You never know, of course if her dad was not with her, I would have made her leave already. I am trying hard not to panick or worry too much. The way it looks now, it will go inland in Louisiana then bend west and up almost directly to Dallas, but winds will be so much slower by that point.

Hey Everyone!
Timmmy can't wait to see your first post from the other side. You should be close to take off??? Hmmmmm.... maybe you have another hour.

My day sure didn't go as planned today. I woke at 5am and couldn't sleep (should have called Kobi!) so I got up and took a shower, was going to take Rasta for a walk once it got light out, then the gym, take Missy to the vets for a spa day, then a little volunteer work, then home to help a friend with Quickbooks.
I got out to my car at 7am only to find that it had been broken into during the night. What a pain in the butttttt! The dumb kids - the only thing they got was my briefcase that I had all of my Red Cross paperwork and ID's in and my Thomas Guide. Cost me all morning waiting for the police and then the glass dude's hour response time turned into 4 before he showed up, then $110.
Oh well.... it was a pretty day, Guy was home and my friend was here. No one got hurt.
Tomorrow is another day :-)
Safe travels Timmmmy!

Hugs all around and see you in the morning!
