[beachn4fun]

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today's activitiesl

DC Metroland weather report ~ Today... A few isolated thunderstorms developing this afternoon. High 72F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%. ~ Tonight...Showers and thundershowers likely. Low 49F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60%.

Ok, today I am at home, but won't be around the Canteen long since I have errands to run.

Mr. Beachy, my parents and I will be making a quick trip down to NC to check on an elderly great aunt & uncle. And, wouldn't you know it, they're saying we might have rain. I am hoping it will be raining north of us (sorry guyz) so that as we head south we'll have smooth sailing.

That means music, fun, and mayhem!

Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

Now remember, the Canteen is

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

Good morning Troops, Fellow Canteeners, Lurkers, and FRiends!
It's another beautiful day here in the sunny South - and we are safe and sound thanks to our TROOPS - THANK YOU!

It's FRIDAY! That means tomorrow I get to swap jobs and attempt to reassemble the things my children have disassembled this week. LOL!! Just kidding....sort of.
Anyway - the office is fairly empty today and what I'm doing has all the excitement of watching paint dry - SO, it's going to be difficult not to spend the day here with my FRiends; but... the only thing that never changes - the deadline is looking me in the face.
I do hope everyone has a GRAND DAY!

Grass ready to mow?

How is your world?

[GrandEagle]

1.You can properly pronounce Kosciusko, Ackerman, and Belzoni

2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.

3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

4. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the
door, but by the availability of shade.

5. Stores don't have bags or shopping carts, they have sacks and buggies.

6. You've seen people wear bib overalls at funerals.

7. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

8. You measure distance in minutes. (It's about 5 minutes down the road)

9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

11. You know cowpies are not made of beef.

12. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.

13. You have known someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.

14. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, beer, and bait all in the same store.

15. A Mercedes Benz isn't a status symbol. A Chevy Silverado Extended Bed Crew Cab is.

16. You know everything goes better with Ranch Dressing.

17. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.

18. You actually get these jokes and are 'fixin' ' to send them to your friends.

OK...I got bit again by not previewing my post.
#337 should have been prefaced by something like:
"You know your a true Southerner if:"

(darn slow connection...)
