Not until one-ish.
Oh, man.... that's really lousy.
We need to start planning the '06 moot now so hopefully more of us can get there.

Slap Corin with an -ish.
I'm taking my software patterns book along to study in case she gets in late. With a test this week, can't afford to waste time doing nothing...
Well, part of the reason is that we're also planning what we're doing as a family next year.
It's the Disney year for the boys. It's our last chance to do that before Jr. graduates (work with me here). So we already know we won't be doing the beach. But the Music and Fine Arts Dept is taking a cruise in February. We're hoping to use our Marriott points to cover it.
BUT, I am vey series about rafting the canyon for my 50th, which would be 2008.
Also, wouldn't the rotation for Mooting bring things back to the East? (Entmoot ~ Wedding Moot ~ Shoot Moot)
I'd like to raft the canyon in 08.
I'm still putting off any final declaration one way or the other on whether I can make shootmoot. Trying to let things take their course and it will either work or not work! But all my plans for extra money and time bring me to thoughts of horse trailers and trail riding this year. Has to be this year.
I understand the money/horse issues. Although I would never punish a horse by putting me on its back.
The reality is for me is that I just need to keep things as simple as possible. Money is working out better than I'd thought (for Brazil, etc). BUT, we've got to at a minimum repair and replace the kitchen floor and replace the back atrium door. If we don't the house will cave in.
Like I said, I'm most serious about rafting the canyon. It's been a dream of mine for more than 20 years. I'll do some more research.
I gotta go. The funeral is at 2:00 p.m.
Something my ex-FIL (may he rest in peace) used to say.
I asked him what it meant and he asked me if'n I'd ever been around a guava tree. I replied that I hadn't and he informed me that overripe and rotting guavas on the ground smell exactly like cat crap.
Riddle solved!
I still have a small grain of hope that I'll be able to pull it off, but it's highly unlikely.
Next year just ~has~ to get better than this year has been so far.
I hope you can go.
I am gonna go out and get started on outdoor chores... The lawnmower is fixed and it has stopped raining. It's almost dry enough to mow. If I don't mow this week, I'm gonna have to bale it.
Tis a good thing to be most serious about. The canyon is an amazing place and you'll have a great time.
(I've never rafted the canyon, just soaked some tired feets in the river....)
6 + 6 = 12
I wonder if you can raise catfish in an above ground pool...
small ones probably.... there's a species of catfish that is fish-tank size and can get big if it's in a big tank.
Not noodling size, perhaps, but you could let it grab your finger. ;~D
My lawn's all mowed, and I need a bath, bad.
I need to pick up branches so I can mow the lawn sometime this week...need gas for the mower too.
I had to pick up branches too... - those the mower didn't chop up. ;~D
And I had to buy gas... but gas isn't that far away for me ;~D
Well....let me go pick up some sticks. See ya in the funny papers!
I've never tried raising catfish, but am fairly sure you could do it above ground. If the hole is not too hard to dig, there are some advantages to doing it in ground, though.
Rosie is home. The cats are happy to see her. I'm exhausted.
OK!! Give us all the news about the wedding!
