Right after I answered, my friend flushed next 2 me, and she must have thought we just launched something, it was so loud... ...come 2 think of it, he did!

ROTFLOL.........
Had to wipe off the monitor.

I hope you have a very good trip.

Thought about you while I was at camp, but no solutions. I suppose if there were cut and dried ones, they would have come out by now.

Missed ya, but I'll never admit it.

There are a LOT of fires going right now. Dry lightning strikes. I can smell the smoke some mornings when I go out, and the sky is often a haze - visibility down to 10 miles or so. Locally they should have them contained by Wed, but new ones can come at any time.

Closed I15 three times in the last few weeks because of smoke.

Good call AD.

Ohhhhh. Words of praise! That's what I live for SS! Me W never figured that out, LOL.

... and I don't even live in fire country. You would have an easier time setting a wet towel on fire that to burn something around here - with 70% humidity.

<I'm laughing at myself now. I dont' think there's an emoticon for that.>

No, besides wasting time on MB, I also waste time reading seemingly irrelevant news - such as something about forrest fires in Utah or some such far away place. LOL

Why?

I don't know if I would do as well if my W was moved out, and running around with OM. You are OK AD. Don't sweat it.

Was it Wy, or MT? Or am I way off?

SS,

Way off!

I'm about 3000 miles from there (??? I think ???).

Go find a chart of anything - well not anything, anything states are rated on. Look at the bottom of the list. It's one of those. LOL.

Why beat around the web-links. It's 'Bama.

Actually, she doesn't run around with OM. She just sneaks around to his place - sometimes in the middle of the night. (Who knows what she's doing since I moved out.) I think she's afraid to be seen in public with him. Exposure has been minimal, but it terrifies her.

Nope. The 2001.

Going 2 take my son and his friend, and they're not in2 the "pilgrimage" thing like I am!

W is looking at hiring a dumptruck locally, cause the 30-mile away town would cost about 300 for the load and their drive time.

300 is too much !!!
I guess I was off on that one.

Fire season is in full swing. Smoke so thick I can't see PV mountain from town. Comes from the south west, west, north west, and north. Hundreds of thousands of acres. Not sure when they will contain them all. Dry lightening strikes. (meaning no rain with them.) Ground cover (brush and weeds) at it's hightest levels in about 10 years. High winds.

I hope the sky is clear up north. You can smell the smoke in the air here when you go outside.

Glad you are taking help along, makes it easier.

W called last night (said she misses "us") and said that there is a fair amount of smoke up that way, but that they got some sprinkles yes2rday as well.

Here I am, supposed 2 be getting my stuff ready, and I still haven't decided which scope 2 bring. Problem with the old one is that it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the new one has, and so will be a little more persnickety (sp?) for taking pic2res, but it's light enough that I can easily carry it in and out, tripod and all. Problem with the new one is it doesn't have the latitude adjuster upgrade, and so I'll have 2 "fine 2ne" the pointing by hand, which is possible but a real pain, and it's heavy so I'll have 2 take it apart after every use. But the computerized stuff is fun 2 use.

...but here I am blabbing about it and not getting my stuff ready!

2Long,

I'm sure she does miss you. If your W would let go of her pride for an hour or two, I think something might go <click>. I'm guessing that RM is really gone for her. She hasn't admitted it to herself yet. But when she does, she'll be glad you're still available (if you will be at that point).

Ah, I'm getting your hopes up. Sorry. Never mind. Press for D. See what happens on the way. If it goes through, some lucky lady will snap you up.

AD:

I'm sure she misses me 2. It's been "interesting" hearing the change in her tone in that regard when she calls.

I don't think we've been "apart" nearly long enough. I think that, if I wanted 2, I could even do something like plan B now. Not sure I want 2, though.

Don't worry about getting my hopes up at this point. I really don't have many, though I will be sensible and be receptive if there is a fundamental shift on the horizon. I just don't think there will be.

And so, it'll be just a matter of when we go forward with the DV.

I'm starting 2 believe that I've got better things 2 do with my time than "fight" for a M that my W still thinks she never wanted, and that she unilaterallly "emotionally DV'd" from me several years ago.

...like PACKING already! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

See you later 2long. Let me know when you firm up your traveling home date, and we'll see how it will work.

Say hi to your dad, tell him you love him. That is always a good thing.

Good luck 2long. Have a nice trip and enjoy the stars. (We have a new, really good, binoc.)

FWW decided to come with DS and I. We leave Friday.

First time around my family for her since DDay2. It will be interesting. (Sometimes, I hate interesting.)
