Our Troops Rock! | The Canteen Crew

[2111USMC]

Thanks Kathy!

Fall is my favorite time of year.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, AZ, for the Tribute to Our Troops.

Hope your day went well. FR is working better. I was in withdrawal last night.

Did you have an easy commute? No critters to hinder your way? *HUGS*

Gas was 3.99 on my way home last night and 4.09 on the way to work this morning. I need to put gas in the suburban, but, geez......

[The Mayor]

Thank you Ladies!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, TSgt, and welcome to the Canteen.

We thank you for your service to our country.

[AZamericonnie]

Hiya Speed racer & great to see you! *Hugs*

Mrs Z & Apple & crew doing well? *Hugs*

If you don't know where you're going, chances are you will end up somewhere else.

Sonboy & I had a riot a few days ago at the table reading his quotes. What a character.

Good afternoon and Aloha, Hawaii...((HUGS))...just now I see the sun trying to poke olut its head. It has been more rain than not today.

Sun and son today? Is there a game tonight?

[SkyDancer]

Hi, Just back from a sojourn in the bush (outback to you Yanks LOL). Yeah, have a few flights. Best one was to Brissie for a weekend of fun. One emergency flight to the bush to pick up a jackaroo that got trampled but he’s doing okay.

Things are going well here in the Tweezers household. A few weeks ago Mrs. Tweeze decided to put a collar on Monkey. Every once in a while Monkey will slip off her collar just because she can; she almost never fights it when you put it back on.

Oh, and by the way I now hold an SCCA competition license! Ran my first races early last month at Thunderhill. I had a great time, and I'm seriously thinking about finding a part-time job during the evening so I can race again next season.

This season was supposed to be over as of last weekend, but Monday I had an email from Infineon Sonoma Raceway. They were looking for people to work a CSRG vintage race, so I signed up. The fact that I get paid for non-SCCA races at Sonoma made this an easy decision. :)

[AZamericonnie]

It was a good day indeed. Sonboy is on vacation so I took a couple of days off.

We had lunch the three of us & had a movie day. Good times.

Good gads it's a sorry state of affairs when you have to pay so much for petrol....especially considering where you live!

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha Night Owl! ((HUGS))

Not much of either today.....tomorrow is another day, though. Besides, last night's dfforts trying to get on any threads proved a fiasco. Thought tonight be more of the same.

[AZamericonnie]

Bigs...did I miss saying good evening to you? *Hugs*

You have my permission to “keelhaul” me! LOL

But take it easy ok?:(

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

It could be worse. You could be here in California.

I filled up my car Tuesday; since then the station where I filled up has raised its prices by almost 30 cents a gallon. And it’s only Thursday...

[Kathy in Alaska]

Internet just flickered...I’m going home. Back in a bit.

[AZamericonnie]

Have a ton of chores to do this evening so have to bail.

*Goodnight America!*

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha Connie! ((HUGS))

Don't tempt me, Connie.....I just thought that tonight might be like last night when nothing I posted got through. All that happened had an OOPS! notice popped up.

Thanks for the Yogisms, always a favorite of mine when I can't think of anything to say.

[NormsRevenge]

Scuttlebutt has it gas prices will rise before we get relief here .. but they will still be racing at Talladega this week-end. :-}

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!

All Gave Some – Some Gave All!!!

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Last night was not fun trying to get on FR...

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and rest well, AZ...
