Excie I thinkl you need to move to Australia where the beer runs like water "no worries and no dramas"

[notinKansasanymore]

"no worries and no dramas" sounds like heaven. Are there palm trees?

We had an ice storm. The garden is hiding under a raised tarp. I am hiding next to my heater. Mr. niKa was very smug with his 4WD, going to work this morning; there was a solid inch of ice on the road, so clear that he could see the asphalt underneath it.

Now there's snow on top of it all.

Spring is coming.

Hot chocolate, anyone?

Spring is coming. Spring is coming. Spring is coming.

In Dallas, only the northern bred could drive on ice. Is OK like that too? :o

After record warm January, we finally got some sub zero temps ... Collecting a little more firewood here ... but the worries are relatively few

Well life on the farm is kinda laid back

Ain�t much an old country boy like me can't hack ...

LOL ... actually I'm more of a hack at being a country boy ... but I'm a learnin'

[fellowshipper]

Niki yes we have palm trees in fact I am thinking about putting one in my front yard. The rain forest of fern trees is only 1/2 an hour drive with the port of Phillip bay the same distant and the ocean 3/4 of an hour from here in the suburbs. Yes it is heavon and my wife is my Eve.Geez I luv Aussie land Mr. Niki has been here once. I likee.

[Tom Strange]

niKa... please take this cold weather back... pretty please....

[notinKansasanymore]

Yes, he did a tour with the two teenagers, in between some seminars that he was giving. They went all over, and they even spent three days hiking the Thorstenburg Trail on Hinchenbrook Island, with his oldest buddy, the culprit who got him into climbing. They white-water rafted. He scuba'd. We'd saved up; they bought a didgeridoo, some artwork, and some opals for the diligent wife who stayed home with the little ones, who were too young at the time to hike for three days.

We'll go back, and I'll go then.

Spring is coming.

TommyNoStrangerToLove:

This weather didn't come from me! I'm a warm-weather kid. Sunshine in my heart, y'know? ;)

We can't even sweep the ice and snow from off the tarp that's covering the garden; it's frozen solid. Perhaps we'll take it off in a couple of days, when the balmy breeze will raise the temperature all the way up to 39.

What happened to my friend, Global Warming? :blink:

Niki, here I sit on a summer day of the garden state of Victoria Australia with my jumper (sweater). It is chilly to day I have had my jumper on four times today and this is summer. Wow I love this climate. I saw the weather in Okie boogie land and is below freezing. Thinking of you Okies.

[tomtuttle1]

This is starting to sound like corps night, with the weather reports from all RUT locales...

It was near 80 over the weekend - I was sweatin' working around the house. But when I landed in NC a couple hours ago, it was 35. What a nice, cool relief!!!! Felt good in my golf shirt, but everyone thought I was the oddball. Too bad, so sad ...

Where's Simon Bin Sinnin'???

[J0nny Ling0]

Hi Tom.

Hi Fellowshipper.

[tomtuttle1]

You've been posting on our treads, haven't you Jonny?? That's Okey-Dokey, you are honorary, spacial (special), Jr, sunset, recognized, spouse and LOA 9th.

How's the winter up in your neighborhood??

[notinKansasanymore]

Oh, my gorsht, Borscht.

If there's somebunny reading these threads who's passing the winter in Alaska, I'm thinkin' that I'd better quit my whining about it being cold.

Here's to ya, Johnny!

[fellowshipper]

Tom Tuttle of course it is Corps night. This is always family night here. Brothers don't shake hands we brothers gotta hug.

Hi Johnny Lingo, all's well in Aussie land. I can not believe the summers here as they are quite different from the summers you and I did roof work on in Okie boogie land. I never in my youth realized how hot it was until I got older of the relentless heat I was exposed. I reckon Alaska sure has it's unique coldness.

Niki I haven't had a good bowl of Borsch since the Corps with the Sour Cream and all. I miss my childhood.

[tomtuttle1]

GoldenSlipper, you may miss your childhood, but I wanna move back home & let mom & dad support me, maybe go through college again, this time not going college WOW, but maybe studying. I may have misplaced priorities last time thru ...

[Tom Strange]

Reverend2T's that sounds like a good subject for your teaching/sharing at our next feelowsheep... I (as always) will bring the refreshments...

Sleeper, have you completed your study about which way the water swirls as it exits the toylet?

Peas to all... who's in charge of set up tonight? Will we need an overhead projector or a Betamax?

[notinKansasanymore]

Oh, my GOSH! Who's got the chair string? Whose branch is doing take-down?

WHAT IF I FORGET MY RETEMORIES?????

[Tom Strange]

Celebrating Mozart's birthday today. Let's all rock out to a concerto! Yah, DUDE!

Happy Saturday. The sun is shining, the garden survived, there's way too much grading to do, and life is pretty much normal.

Bought some dressy shoes with 4-inch heels yesterday. They make me about 6'1".

Old ladies out of their sensible shoes. Go figure.

No, go Dancing.
