Guten Morgen Alle

I thought I'd make an extra effort to pop in today

Lovely Autumn (Fall) pictures from everyone the last couple of days, it certainly made me have a good look around on the drive to see my Son in Osnabruck on sunday and as MBH was driving I tried my best to take some pics, but my little kodak just wasn't up to it....

this was the best of the bunch



but I did get this one yesterday afternoon at work...



Tara I love the way you are 'doing your trip report' a Pic each evening to close the day

morning everyone - off to work - poof

Judy, so far so good! We are finally done with taking down all the trees that needed to be cut down so my son can begin the process of making a back yard now. Lots of tree stumps to grind. Been a two year process, think we took down about 50 trees total. Still have about 7 or 8 keepers left in yard, working a little bit here and there. First the stump grinder, then the back hoe to level it and then I guess either a sprinkler system or just topsoil and sod, not sure what he wants to do, he may just try to seed it. All I know is our job is done. Phew!

Krispi, Looks like you are having fun! As you should be.

Morning everyone! Beautiful pictures are a nice way to start the day. Thanks Roy, Donna and Krispi. And thank you Krispi for sharing your trip with us.
It was another beautiful morning to be walking with a full moon and a clear sky.

My pictures for to day is also a quiz.
Does anyone recognize these fur friends?

dog1 and dog2???

Tara, You're so smart!
Next!

Oh I can change that for you, Jerry.

Captions please.
Let's see how far I can kick this HKS

(Message edited by cyndelee on October 14, 2008)

Time has run out on the dogs.

They belong to Timmmy. Can't remember their names, but they played like crazy in and out of the pool during the FLAMM.

Jerry.......just send Meds or better yet Kobi can get the Crown and I'll find a funnel....hey Rob want to race??????

I'm ready when you are..........

Boy, I'm really not feeling very fresh today, and I'm a bit bloated. I just need a good cry.

I'm a little cranky this week so am eating more chocolate than normal......

KIV needs a hug?

Girls, don't forget


PahPOOF. DANG TIMING

Yea, I do Thanks!
And thanks, even more, for that email, SUNSHINE!!!!! LMAO

Jerry, the chocolate will help with the bloat. At least that's what I pretend anyway LOL!

Kobi, do you still need office assistance, I love to type.

Good Afternoon Everyone!!

Linda, I got here late, I KNEW those were Timmmy's dogs!! I would've gotten it!!

I'll take some of that Crown if there's any left...

Tom, yes position still open No typing skills required! Just drinking skills LOL!

HEY, PS!!!
Plenty of Crown left for you, BH, me and some friends......

Tom told me he types with the Florida method:::

He finds a key and lands on it!!!!!

I just ate two chockie swiss rolls and am eying some more chocolate. Dear Lord...is it that time?!?! I'm losing control!

LOL, BH
I just had to refill the snack area for the employees; that is NOT A JOB I should be doing in my state of mind LOL!
Look out Ho Ho's!

Ring-Dings!

Tom, whats that fem-spray called?

Morning!!! I knew who the dogs are too!!!
Misty and ..... dang can't think of the other's name.

Kobi, me too. I just scarfed down too much trail mix w/chocolate and peanut butter chips.

I don't know Kristi and Kenny just don't look happy huh? LOL!!! Thanks for posting those beautiful pictures.

No Woodwind with Darlene and Susan and the gang..awell..Kiri and Tonky were ripping it in Playa..the waves are very cool. I may go bodysurf at Bachelor Beach later.

PS, Well you win the dog picture prize. I haven't figured out what the prize is, but you win.

Chocolate keyboard? I'd be typing away like crazy, but every once in a while a key would just disappear.

Hee hee, Kobi...I was just listening to an interview with some diet expert who calls that feeding frenzy thing the "Primal Hunger"...said it's you body's way of crushing your will power and getting what it wants. I likeit....it's not my fault: it's my Primal Hunger!!!

Hi, Tara. I'm gonna be pinging OFF the walls here shortly. Good thing there is some filing I can do. I'll be fast at it today LOL!

Thanks, CB....I knew SOMEBODY out there would understand & figure it out LOL!
That's what I'm gonna call it from now on; Primal Hunger I sounds good anyway

Primal Hunger, Huh? Now I feel better, had one of those attacks yesterday, that little bag of chocolate covered pretzels didn't stand a chance with being in the same room as me, devoured it in no time flat!

Good morning everyone! Great pics of the fall leaves!

Kristi, good to see you and Kenny...

Kobi, I NEED that keyboard.

TOM...LMAO..."so go shopping, dance, swing your arms in the air, do a day's work in a hot office....LMAO...guess that was before AC??? Oh, and I like how it neutralizes ALL feminine odors...foot, armpit, you know where...omg, that is too funny. No wonder why we are always wondering if we are feeling fresh or not...

I'm starving!

(Message edited by bonaire9 on October 14, 2008)

It's frickin freezing in here!!!!
It's supposed to get up to 84 degrees today but right now.... I'm cold
I wanna go home and sit in the sunshine on the patio....
wahhhhhhhhhhhh

sorry for whining. guess I'd better get some work done

Kobi let me know when you break out the Crown
and I don't mean a tiarra

Ahhhhh what a good fuzzy feeling I have

nice pics everyone

I just snapped this one on the way home...



and thought I was in very a super sunset on this special day

but just caught the sun disappearing behind a cloudbank..



well gotta dash, MBH is taking me to dinner

see Y'all later

What do you think Tom?

Roy, spectacular...wow....

Roy, that looks so nice!

Say, Linda, just to answer your question from yesterday: Yes, pneumatic players with paper music rolls were indeed the standard for player pianos in the day. That's the way they were invented.

Now, of course, they're digitized and both play and record, replicating the motion on the action on a piece of music by using either a gray scale technology or Piaso wire, depending on the system.

I like the crazy old pneumatic players...very Rube Goldbergian and individualistic. There's a place in San Francisco called the Musee Mechanique that has collections of mechanical music devices that make me crazy, I like them so much. Both player like devices and wind ups. Great place.

Ok...I feel better now that I'ved answered Linda....my apologies to everybody else...

Well, I knew THAT would kill the thread....

Pretty food, Jerry, but it's all dead!

Dear CB, need a hug?

Not feeling so fresh are we?

Chuck, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, let me get the job first.

Kobi, it's time somewhere - go for it.

Jerry, Hoppes.

(am radio voice)

"HEY GIRLS, ARE YOU LONELY IN THE FALL BECAUSE YOUR GUY IS AT DEER CAMP? WELL HOPPES CAN HELP YOU REIGN YOUR OL MAN BACK IN AND HAVE HIM UNDER YOUR THUMB, JUST LIKE THE DAYS WHEN YOU WERE COURTING. JUST PUT A DROP OR TWO BEHIND EACH EAR AND OL BUFORD WILL BE DONE THINKING TWICE DEER CAMP. FOR THOSE HARD TO PLEASE MEN OR THOSE THAT ACTUALLY LOAD THEIR GUNS AND HUNT WHILE AT CAMP, TWO ADDITIONAL DROPS BEHIND YOUR KN... WILL HAVE HIM SELLING HIS ARSENAL AND STAYING HOME WITH YOU DOING EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT. THAT'S RIGHT GIRLS HE WILL EVEN BE BEGGING TO SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH HIS IN-LAWS" Listen to what Louise G. of Mass said in this unrehearsed phone conversation. "My man would never hang around when my family would visit. I think he even misbehaved on purpose a few times just to get himself thrown out of the house when they were expected. Well, after I discovered Hoppes and applied just two drops those days of him actually enjoying himself ended (evil woman laugh heard) All he does now is ask "Honey, can we invite your family for another month long stay? We Can? Oh, you are so good to me. Can I clean the toilets for you too? One day I spilled a few drops on the floor and next thing I knew he was sewing new curtains, pretty ones too. Thanks to Hoppes I am so happy that I think next week, I am going to start teaching him needlepoint. If he is good that is"

HOPPES, KINDER THAN NEUTERING AND NOW AVAILABLE IN FINER SPORTING GOODS STORES EVERYWHERE.

Warning: Using more than four drops of Hoppes has caused some men's minds to melt.

Whew, I need to go sniff a muffler after that. But first

POOOOOOOOOOOOOOF

(Message edited by vtscuba on October 14, 2008)

Just trying to get a rise of you, buddy....

OMG JERRY, MARRY ME. I'll get the Hoppes out.

"Kinder than neutering"...good god....

Roy what a wonderful drive home you have.

CB, Thanks for the answer. You would have loved the collection of music boxes a friend of my mom's had. She must have had 100 of them in all shapes, sizes and ages. I thought of how they worked when I mentioned the paper rolls on our old player piano.
Is the Musee Mechanique near a pier? If so, our dad took us there when we were kids. It was fun.

Jerry, save me some of that tunahhhhh!! I LOVE that dish.



(Message edited by tlraz on October 14, 2008)

Tom, you had better watch what you ask Jerry for. He's not been feeling "fresh" lately.

Linda, those rolls are treasures these days...people collect the heck out of them. They're the vinyl of the piano world.

Okey dokey...of to work for me. Nice chatting with you!

Hope this helps Jerry

Tom...where can i order some of that stuff..

CB, you would be proud of me. On my girls white trash rv weekend, one is going Vegan, and so we had vegan all weekend...i liked it

Tom, I'm getting Louise a part time job, Pam might like it as well. I need some time to myself when I get home.

I'm buying some of that stuff. Terry likes his newspaper too much.

Sorry Tom,

Here you go big boy!

And, you can have some more if you want!

Guess who is the leader in total # of posts?

Jerry the voices have won and they brought Bob with them.....save yourself my friend.

Think it's time for me to head out....everyone have a great rest of the day....have a great HH and have one on me.

Think it's Lurk Mode Time

Have a nice evening Chuck, and weekend!

Sorry I didn't get back here sooner, have a great nite Chuck. I don't save you tube stuff on my hard drive, don't know why mine posted and yours didn't.

If the weather gods allow, I won't see you folks tomorrow, hoping to get out and enjoy another day of clean air and great views.

Colchester to Bennington, to Wilmington then taking Rt 100 north to Waterbury then back to Colchester. Then again, everything is subject to change depending on weather, other drivers and mood - right?

I think we're going to have to give Linda the Tara/Mara quiz. I know, I know - we are both about the same age, both walk for Breast Cancer, one has a husband named Guy and the other has a husband on a team called 3 Girls and a Guy. We both like to cook fun and exciting meals. And while the names a spelled close to the same they are pronounced differently... Here's the pronunciation...

Tara - sounds like tar a
Mara - sounds like Sarah

So that's the quiz - who is who - Boom or YoMO.

Hint... YoMo is a Captain Shiver me timbers.

Are you all aware that Karel's is gone? I'm so sad. I can't get to my Bonaire pictures on this computer.. the external hard drive took a dump a while ago.

Mara, You did good with clarifying who's who! Glad you did that as I was never sure about Tara's pronunciation. Tara, please forgive me; I should know this stuff!!!!!!!

Just went to the webcam thread and O M G......those waves were crazy and Karel's GONE!!!! This is sad

Eating cottage cheese now; chocolate is back at work LOL!

Have a nice evening kids.

Click!

Brad, you can share my Smore's keyboard

I just want the ASDFGHJKL:" line though as I use that more than the others LOL!

When did Karel's go away????

'Night, Jerry!
Roy, thanks for the beautiful pictures. I really like your part of the world. One day I will visit!!! Oh and thanks a BUNCH for the countdown update

Tribs, hop over to the webcam thread to see the wave damage.

Hiya Kobi --- you can call me whatever rolls off the tongue - if it's something bad, I probably deserve it!

Check out this thread in Local Items
Omar Pictures

Tara I needed a grin today and you gave it to me!!!!

Crazy pictures for sure. Thanks for that link. I'm slow at getting through the threads.
How's Rasta pee pee? OK?
Wow, that sounds funny but you know what I mean

always glad to be of service Kobi
we're still waiting to hear on the cultures - they needed to see what, if anything, grew.

Where's PS lately ---- is it just me or has she been missing a lot?

I took delivery of our new Quad for work today a nice extra little pressie for me today , but forgot to take a picture to update the RED one in my profile, this one is a bit smaller....only 300cc instead of 400cc and it's black.

I'll be giving it a thorough test drive tomorrow so best I get a good nights sleep

Good night ladies n guys

Thanks for pointing me to the webcam thread. Wow. That is so very sad.

I know PS has been a busy little FL chickie. Maybe she's working on another masterpiece/work of art.

Roy, your new quad ride sounds awesome!!! Enjoy tooling around on that; keeping the rubber side down Can't wait to see more pics from your piece of paradise!!!

Hey guys, took my oldest daughter and grandaughter to the airport just now, and stopped and bought Subway on the way home. I'm NOT cooking for an army tonight. It was wonderful, it was hectic, it was a great week, but I AM glad everyone had a great time and is home or on the way, and my house is mine again. Whew, 11 people, 12 one day, was well, you know....hard to do when you're a little OCD! lol

Anyway, glad you all are enjoying fall. No signs of it here, except bananas growing like crazy. I like the pics though, so keep them coming. Not that I'm reminiscing or anything! lol I NEED warm sun and green things year round, so I know I'm in the right place (and at the right time in my life).

Maybe I'll be back in the swing of things in a couple of days. Must regroup!

G'night all!

Yo = Mara
Boom = Tara

Right? I always have to think or cheat & go to your profile page.

My bad.

Cynde, Thank you! I got your note today.

Linda You got it now!!

Goodnight gang! Going to watch some things we DVR'd last week. Will be up all night watching the plasma.

Nighty, night......

Did I goof it up somewhere?

Good night all.

# 100.
Good night kids, sleep well.


Click.

It's OK Linda- I guessed dog1 & dog 2 not Tara - but that's OK I knew what you meant - LOL!

Nite all - need sleep

I would never mind being mistaken for you Yo

I got home and found my TiVo had taped an old Bewitched tv show --- that was such a nice surprise. I also finally lost the fight of keeping a cold at bay, so Bewitched was just the ticket. Pure fun

Sleep well everyone and those on island wishes for calm and good thoughts are with you

Guy and I enjoyed many evenings at Karel's and it made the perfect spot for us to meet our new friends who were staying on their boat.

So sad to see all the devastation on Bonaire to the piers/docks, and hoping the best for the reefs.

When such a tiny island (as it is called on Cnn.com) is so impacted it makes world news, it makes me sad.

I can't wait to see what people see u/w for the next few. I hope the reefs and corals were strong enough to endure. And I am glad that we saw it all in its glory a few weeks ago. AND I will be glad when hurricane season is over.

Sun's setting, supper's on. See you all tomorrow. xx
