Neak, I certainly hope you're not trying to say you're planning to go to WA between now and tomorrow night, when you're supposed to be home getting ready for our "special" music in Manteca and your big book promoting program that night. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> If you are, you need to be practicing the following phrase: "My life is no longer worth a plugged nickel." <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> And you can have your children begin to prepare your eulogy. They'll need it sooner than they think.

t&l

P.S. Maybe less than a plugged nickel, what with inflation and all!!

Just for Neak

Toolin' down the Highway

On the road again
I just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is sending emails to my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again

Now that song will be stuck in my head. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

WA will be for AJ alone on Monday. We have two wikiwiki drops in southern CA tomorrow, then we beat feet home.

We would have been in LA by this afternoon, but were too tired to drive all night last night. We felt very decadent, stopping the truck for 6 1/2 consecutive hours. Except for loading and unloading, and obviously a few brief potty stops, we have been rolling round the clock since Monday.

Coming across highway 90 (I think it was still 90), along the TX/Mexican border, we came across an oversize load where the truck was stopped, parked, under a too-low bridge. They had stopped just short of smacking it, and AJ thought they could get enough room by lowering their airbags long enough to get under. But in the meantime it was pretty funny, as long as no one hit them.

We now have the microwave out and strapped down, so if the Princess wants, she can make her popcorn while we drive down the road. All we really still need is a shower.

In case I didn't mention it yet, we are in Arizona now.

Let's see...the boys amused themselves this afternoon by coloring all over each other with green markers, and we all read a whole bunch of my book together. We are now on Chapter 4.

After we get home, I will try and post a few pictures. AJ's phone has been acting up, so I only have a few, but the ones I have are pretty.

So, who is cooking me breakfast tomorrow? I know, AW can cook me breakfast tonight, which is morning for her, and Cinders can cook me breakfast tomorrow, which is also tomorrow for me. I would like pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream, please. Both times is fine.

Be back in a while..... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I can fix you yogurt with some sliced strawberries and a handful of raisin bran or cheerios on top. You are hallucinating if you think I am cooking pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream. Saturday, you can get a pbj sandwich which has become my scriptural breakfast before my training walk. After the walk, we can stop at the Donut Den and get something decadent and fried and glazed....or a big muffin....or fresh bagels - maybe a spinach parmesan bagel or a power bagel.

HIYA Neak!!

hope you have a good trip to the second SoCal drop and a safe ZOOOOOMMMMM home!! I'm sitting here with match sticks holding my eyes open eating my pikelets waiting to see if I hear from Aussie.

Mum is half watching cricket between falling asleep and Liz is working tonight in casualty at Royal Perth Hospital with the resident docs to see what its like. I imagine its yucky & bloody ..most accident victims go there.

She told me of a young brick layer who came in around 8.00pm during the week. He was up on a couple of 44 gall drums laying bricks on a house wall and slipped off and fell on the handle of the wheel barrow. It pierced his stomach but being a MAN did that stop him? NO!! He slid off it and went back to bricklaying!! (I mean wouldn't we all?) Then after a while he felt 'funny' so he jumped down and went to the pub to have a beer, I mean what else would you do?? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
Can't you hear his mates now ..... Bit of a hole there old son? yep, maybe should get it looked at .. yep after you buy your round .. yep <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> so he did.
Thats why he turned up at around 8 pm half cut. Pardon the pun! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
He was so lucky, it missed doing any real damage, however I think his mental acumen has already been shriveled by the sun <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> I'm pretty sure most men are not like this ... well excluding Aussie ..probably ....... maybe <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

There's no way I can comment on everything -
But I couldn't pass this one up.

That stupid baby made me flash the head elder on our outing Sabbath.

I am going to wear high button shirts until he is 30.


How old is the head elder now? And what difference will it make when he turns 30?
Did I miss something?

I admit this aisle isn't always the easiest for me to understand.

Cinders, you are well this week?

AW,
I hope when you do hear from Aussie, it's all good.

If it was a hod tender then I could believe it, but I thought brick layers were smarter than that.

T&L,
Relax, she'll either make it, or she won't. Prop your feet up, and take it easy. Maybe even have a nap.

Hi Neak.
I hope all is well at home when you return.
My camping place last weekend was a HOUSE, in a small town, in the mountains. I don't feel bad about it either. We took walks, and I read a few books and I got to sleep as long as I wanted. Sometimes life is good.

The campground where we took walks. It was closed for the winter for camping - but not for hiking.

Cinders, are YOU getting enough sleep?

Hi CC -

And BTW Neak, I do have a few photos from our camping trip earlier in March.

May God watch over you all, and take care of you.

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

SS - enough sleep...no. Crashed about 10 last night - fully dressed. Coughed off and on all night - enough to wake me up. And I dreamed about bras.

Woke up at 1:30 and got between the sheets. Had trouble getting up this morning.

Pollen is terrible right now. Son has been sick for 2 weeks. I was sick last week and I feel like it's coming back. YUCK!!!!!! Still taking my antibiotics, though.

Hi SS

Good to hear from you & I pray all is well with you and your family.
I heard from Aussie well to be exact I got a phone photo of him so thats something. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Glad you had a great time away SS <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Rella I have problems with pollen as well at times, but not as bad as getting infections though, just a stuffed nose. Hope you get better soon! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

well back to gardening ..... Mikey is sitting happily in a muddy little patch ..playing & having a ball <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Time for a walk - anyone want to go do 6 miles with me? I can't find but one knee brace. I know the other one is in my room. I feel like I've been having ADD issues with much of life for months now and I am going nuts with it. That might be the one thing I would change about myself.

Will come back later with the full scoop, but AJ is about to leave on his next round of interstate fun, and I'm helping him get ready.

Wheelbarrows <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Loved the pix

Pep <----> peP sooooooo sorry!!!!!!!! My bad, to be sure, but from something you said a long time ago, I thought you were in the Bay Area-ish. I will let you know when we'll be down there, hopefully not too far from now.

Sig line: every time we go through Idaho, I have to put up with all kinds of AJ cracks about the name. Et tu, Pepe?

Cinders, I waved to you, maybe you just did not see me. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Pep, since it is your BD, I hope you have an awesome day. I hope you have an awesome day everyday - but especially today.

For that matter, I hope everyone has an awesome day. I need to do yard work. I want to go to the toy store. I need to do mail. I want to take a nap. I need more time and less to do.

It never fails.

Do I stop at a rest area, just before arriving at our location?

Yes, I do.

Am I still tying shut raunchy plastic bags for the Dervish?

Yes, I am.
