I became familiar with one of those (I think that's what it was) yesterday. Quite thrilling! Got pics of course, but will not be loading them onto the blog till tomorrow.
I lost my bid on the two books I wanted from ebay and my ISP is giving me grief and I can't access ebay to bid again. I might make it to the library in time in the morning.
Been a GREAT weekend. Got a lot of stuff done on the Bug. Alas, the house is disaster!
It was a Mass of Resurrection. For Communion we say "Yahweh, (I Know You Are Here), which is one of my very favorites. The final song was the rousing "Lord of the Dance". Very appropriate.
Evening Rosie - when you read this you will likely be in "Colorful Colorado".
We hope that journey was 'uneventful' and you were 'not delayed'.
Not at all, Sam. You love life, and you wish he could have had what you have.
Evening Corin - regarding the cannas, you can plant them as soon as there is no danger of any frost.
You never know, g'nad...
Well, it begins tonight - the long loneliness known as baseball season. *sigh*
Evening g'nad - been doing a bunch of dirt therapy today. Got up to 82 here. Dang that felt good.
re; getting off the blades, good luck. Did you ever consider sharpening the blades on the mower with an angle grinder? Or is it replacement time?
Thought about you yesterday. SSQ and I drove down to CT to pick up the Concrete Mixer he'd bought on e-bay. It's HUGH! We're looking forward to cooking up some concrete soon! The guy from whom we bought it had all kinds of tractors and equipment in his yard. Made me think of you and your farm.
Our new little trailer got it's first workout hauling the mixer. We call it Bill the Pony. ;o)
I like it! Vey snazzy!
I like the random quote on there...wonder if "blow it out your shorts" will ever make an appearance? LOL ;-)
I'm so excited for you! Can't wait for you to arrive!
Heh, you just never know! ;~D
Heh, why are you on? Done with the bug, Steve out with the boys, what's up?
I'm boooored... I want you to be here already so we can do fun stuff! Like the jam, I wanna go to that.
I'm in the shop! Steve has the boys at church...he takes them to choir on Sunday evenings.
I just finishing waxing half the Bug! I can't wait to update the blog! There is so much to tell! It'll have to wait till tomorrow though, because I can't access my blog, or ebay, or anything! I don't have any trouble with FR or The Samba or fetching my email, but not any of my computers will load my blog or ebay.
ARGH!
I'm logging off, though...church is almost over and I still haven't cleaned up from dinner.
Are you still there?? Can you check on the status of those manuals I bid on? What is the price up to and how many hours till it closes???
Search this...
Volkswagen Official Service Manual & Haynes Repair Man.
Current big is 10.50 and there are 14 hours 37 minutes left.
Thank you!!
No problem!
You don't hold the high bid, as I'm sure you know.
