Any day I don't run the AC is a good day! I got the windows open working on my Half Track and it just hit 80 in here. Confused [%-)] I am fast running out of clothing to take off! up North at least you can start a fire and have some wine...... maybe some good company to pass the time.



Aaron, if your clothes situation is as dire as you say, that's one WIP I don't want to see pictures from! Dead [xx(]

Oh, I'm in for it...

There's a knock on the door, SHE opens it before I can get to it..."There's a USPS guy driving an armored truck...is this for you?"  I shrug, pretending innocence..."I don't know...maybe..."

The USPS guy steps out of the truck and goes to the back of truck.  He unlocks a cage and pulls a package out...a CAGE?!?  What kind of package is this?!?  He quickly tosses the package to me, yells "good luck" over the infernal howling racket the package is making, dives back into the truck, and burns rubber zooming away...Evil [}:)]

In other words, IT has begun...30 Days, 6 Hours, 55 Minutes...and counting...

Arggg! Its already driving me crazy!  Whatizit? Whatizit???Big Smile [:D]

Cheers,
Alex

Good news indeed Mark especially in todays market.  I hope you didn;t take too big a hit.  As for your SSGB gift I would be putting it in the front seat of the car and not the back of the moving truck myself.  Best of luck in you move.

So my cat was checking out my gift that I have stashed in my closet. A few moments later I heard a loud noise. And the cat came running out with this look on his face

I don't even want to know what's in that package...

Aw you're just funnin us.  That's not your household contents, its only your - stash - being moved at the moment.

Are you sure you know where she put it.  Didn't she wrap it in a muffler then put a silencer on the end to stop the noise.

Good luck in your move.  I know its not easy.  During my time as a LEO I moved 16 times in 35 years.   Does that qualify me as a travellin man.  Hope I am now permanent (but how long is permanent).Laugh [(-D]

All's quiet on the western front.  No sounds from the Censored [censored] package.  But no doubt it is planning the next skirmish.

Bearer of Bad News

I hate to break the bad news to all or you GB participants.  Well bad for you good for me.

Today is the magical day - the Christmas Cake is ready.   The better half pulled one out of the fridge and cut a nice big piece for me and one for her Burger [BG].  It tasted fantastic.

I just got something dropped off at my house.

It was kind of muffled, but it sounded like an elf passed gas in it. Not sure what that was all about. Gives new meaning to "Dutch Oven"!

 Sorry guys! I haven't had a chance to get on the computer for any decent length of time. I received my BIG package last week. What a shocker! It's HUGE! Kinda neat to get back on the FSM forums. Haven't posted for a long, long time. Like they say, sometimes life comes at you fast. Hope all my ol' pals are doing good. If you don't know me I hope you are doing good too!

Hey Greg, you weren't supposed to reveal who your Secret Santa is until Christmas day!!!  Oh well, cats out of the bag now so you might as well tell us all what you got him too Bondo!!! Big Smile [:D]  Heeheee!!!

Awfully quiet in here lately.  I think everyone is trying to avoid thinking about that little package that they have tucked away in the back of the closet and wrapped in sound proofing fabric so that they don't hear those little voices saying its time to open me.  ...or something like that anyway Whistling [:-^]
