Nothing like a beheading to start the day !

Well Angie made it out of Downieville alive but after our trip through Nevada City then the few days in Napa Valley I could just %#@@+* her!!!

However she swears the shoes will last forever and she has enough wine now to last until I run out of stocked beer.....

and that is a looooong time!!

As befits grownups in a group gathered for support, we expect the residents of South California and Old California to be civil to each other.

Even if you don't have a budget. Or do have a budget. Or two budgets.

Or a baseballl team. Or two baseball teams.






[Note to self: This gotta be made up by the Eastern press.]

You mean THEY have a baseball team ?

This posting number ends in a "5".

Happy and Safe Canada Day and Independence Day weekend to all!

6 is my favorite number and YES we do have a baseball team....

if the check cashed.....

Really ? Anybody I might have heard of ?

I could tell you but as Angie always quotes from her favorite movie...

"There's no crying in baseball!"

I only cried once in baseball when I was sitting in the stands and saw a grand slam.....good news except the hitter was wearing something blue....oh the pain of it ....it hurts even now.

So you California folks, how serious is this from CBS Los Angeles?

Should I be sellling my stock in California Inc.?

It's not that we don't like the north down here Bill, It's just that we...ah...

well I guess it is just that we don't like 'em!

Party went well yesterday....20 friends and family kicked off the long week-end here....

step-d probably wished she was here instead of being helicoptered out of the national forest.....

She is fine now....but gave us a scare.....

Well, she was out with her Americorp firebreak team doing physical training. They wear full gear, hard hats, and carry back-packs that weigh approx. 35 pounds or more (I know because I lifted it!)...

anyway it was really hot and the trail was difficult, one she has done before, she just collapsed from heat exhaustion...

She admitted she didn't hydrate enough. One helicopter had to come and rescue crew to hike in 45 minutes, place her and one guy in the basket then fly over to another heliport where another chopper took her to the hospital.

She had 4 bags of IV goodies was evaluated and released.

She is doing fine today and enjoying the day off with her crew.

Thanks for asking :)

Whew! That's serious stuff, Gary. I'm glad there was a happy ending.

And http://i1008.photobucket.com/albums/...ness/Usa-2.gif to my American neighbours/neighbors!

HAPPY 4th OF JULY!

Ruth, my step-d is doing fine. She called Angie last night to say one of her team members was doing "Gary" impressions and everyone was getting a kick out of it...

he's a good kid so I assume it wasn't too bad.....:D

either way the kids were having fun with it....

4 out of the last 6 posts here are mine...

giving me the authority to....

close this thread.....


thank you for understanding my needs.....

Gary, you were absent for days leaving Bill, Ruth and me to carry on. We deserve a rest.

Yes...and thank-you in advance of your thank-you to me for leaving you all alone....:dizzy:

This thread is slower than cold molasses...:lol3:

running uphill...:running:

in the middle of a blizzard...:snowglo:

Now we know something about hot molasses in Boston. Seems we burst a tank of it a few decades ago and swamped a bunch of people. A horrible way to go.

After giving it some thought I think I would prefer to be beheaded.

We are accepting of North Shore, South Shore, and all the other Shores. (Unlike some places in this country.)

LOL!!!

But since this has been discussed, I wonder what would be the proper attire to drown in hot molasses?

When I first heard of this, I wondered why folks didn't just outrun the stuff. Seems it traveled at 35 miles per hour. Kinda hard to envision.

again I ask...what's a Snooki?

Gary, I Googled it - I have no life. I still don't know.

Hey! It's Hump Day. Do I know any camel jokes?

No Ruth, I don't....but if I lay on my back I kinda look like a fat camel...

would that help?

I am trying to get this thought out of my mind. UGH....

Bargoo, I'm really sorry I brought it up. We sure don't need THAT visual!

Don't let it happen again !

So glad we got over the hump w/o me having to prove anything....

just sayin'

Gary, you would be interested in what Ray Romano had to say yesterday on "The Talk" . He says since getting older he no longer surfs but boogie boards instead, as he said " anytime you can lay down and pee at the same time is a good thing."

That's funny BARGOO!

Actually last night Angie and I caught up on 3 Men Of A Certain Age shows we had dvr'd but never got a chance to see....

I love that show!!

I can so! relate to their issues....

in fact one of the ones we saw last night was on them getting colonoscopys...lol....my brother got one too yesterday and we were joking about it on Facebook!

/poke.
