Good Saturday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hug:
Welcome to the Early Morning Crew for this 4th of March! How are you today? I'm doing just fine, myself. I had a very relaxing first day of my mini-vacation watching the entire 4th season of "OZ" on DVD! :woohoo: I love that show!

Today will be a little more industrious for me. I have several things around the house I'm going to get accomplished...then it's off for some shopping! What are YOU going to do today?

Ready to get the day started? Me too. So let's GO! :bounce:

2. Clint! Thanks for livening things up around here!....

...get the day started!...:hi:

[Clintmax]

4. Hail, Robeson!

:hi:
I would have been here sooner, Man, but the OZ episodes were just SO good, I stayed up till all hours watching them! :rofl: It's been slow in here this morning, huh?

[Robeson]

9. Slow?......

...well, let's just say.... does the image of molasses pouring come to mind?...:rofl:

[Clintmax]

11. LOL! Wow...that IS slow.

:rofl:
Maybe things will pick up here now, huh!

[Robeson]

19. Seems like it happens everytime you jump on board!....

...:thumbsup:

[Clintmax]

25. Well, that's good!

I'm glad, Man! You have any big plans for today?

[Robeson]

28. I gonna get the car washed, and run some long over-due....

...errands. May call up some friends later and see if they want to meet for a drink. I think it'll be a low-stress kind of day.

[Clintmax]

31. See now THAT'S the kind of day I want too!

Greekspeak made it to Missouri yesterday at around 9pm. He left at 7:15am. And he said my new car performed admirably! :woohoo:

I have a few cleaning chores to get done around here today, but I'm going shopping too. :bounce: I love that!

[Robeson]

34. I'll bet your car kicked ass...

...but you were probably right. On a long trip like that, he didn't need to be driving something that he had to worry about breaking down. But I'm betting, you're still itching to have some time off with the new ride...;-)

[Clintmax]

36. Yeah, I sure am.

You know it, Brother! Ever since I got it, I'd peek out the window just to look at it! It will be back in about 10 days though! And I'll get to drive it again then.

[billyskank]

3. Hi Clint!

Nice to see you. I got my car back - as well as the breakdown that happened on thursday, there was a couple of other things that were waiting to be done to it, that they had not done before because they didn't have the parts. All told it cost me 300 quid! x( At least they valeted it.

This afternoon I am going out to Leicester for the evening. Tomorrow can be a lazy day for me. :)

[Clintmax]

6. Hail, Billy!

:hi::hug:
It's nice to see you too, my buddy! I'm glad you got your car back...but are you saying that it still has more problems to get fixed? I hope not! I hope you have a good time in Leicester, Man, and I'm glad tomorrow can be a lazy day for you! We ALL need those once in a while!

[billyskank]

13. No, all done now

I hope. What failed on thursday was the ignition coil, but it had also been waiting for a new lambda probe, the heater control was broken, and one of the front foglamps was smashed. That's all cool now. They said the brake discs were getting a little worn, but that can wait until the next service.

[Clintmax]

18. Oh, OK...

I'm glad it's all done now! Cars can be expensive to fix. That's why I knew it was time to trade in my old car and get the new one.

[billyskank]

20. Yeah, I'm looking at a new car for 2007

Think I'll have to wait until christmas before I can afford to pay this one off.

[Clintmax]

26. That will be good then!

Do you have any idea what you'd like to have this time?

[billyskank]

30. One of these:

The Skoda Octavia vRS. Larger than what I have now, and much faster. :bounce:

[Clintmax]

32. That looks like a very nice car, Billy!

:woohoo: I bet you are excited! Have you ever considered one of these:

[billyskank]

35. Smarts are cool

but they are not what I am looking for. I want something bigger than what I have now, the Smart is far smaller! They are efficient as hell, but I do quite a lot of motorway driving, and they are not well suited to that. Also, occasionally I have to chauffeur people with a lot of luggage about. Often my current car has proved too small - inside it is okay but the trunk cannot take much stuff.

Also, the Octavia vRS has a 200hp turbocharged engine... :blush:

[Clintmax]

38. When I was in Rome, I was amazed at those little cars!

They were zipping around Rome all over the place! I just loved how they looked! I wish they were available here in the US. x(

[billyskank]

41. Yeah, if you're just nipping about town

there's nothing to beat them. You know they have a sports car version?



How they get a 500cc engine to make it go 120mph+ is beyond me, but they do.

[Clintmax]

50. Yes, I knew they had a sports car version...

But I like the Four-two best! It's so damned cute! And plus, it does SO good on petrol!

[sbj405]

5. Good morning!

Today I'll be meeting a friend for lunch and a play. Just hoping to relax this weekend.

[Clintmax]

8. Morning, SBJ!

:hi:
I hope you have fun then! I'm going to take it easy also. We had a huge floor move at the store where I work last week and I worked so much I was exhausted. I'm going to need this mini-vacation to recouperate!

[sbj405]

15. Yeah, so bummer about this morning is that the alarm was still set

for 5:30 :-( I have trouble getting back to sleep once I'm awake.

[Clintmax]

21. I can't go back to sleep once I'm up either.

So I know how you feel there! I usually get up at 5am, but I watched too many episodes of "OZ" till all hours last night. So, I got up later than usual.

[sbj405]

22. Yep. No crazy saturday nights for me.

I'm usually exhausted by 10 pm.

[Clintmax]

27. It's usually about 11 for me.

I try to go to bed every night at the same time. If you have insomnia (I don't, but Greekspeak sometimes does) that's supposed to help more than anything. Going to bed and getting up at the same time every day.

[Hissyspit]

7. Good night, Early Morning Crew!

I'm going to bed.

"...'til the night closes in!"

[Clintmax]

10. Morning, Hissy!

:hi::bounce:
Have a good rest and sweet dreams!

"I wanna kiss you all over...and over again...I wanna kiss you all over...till the night closes in..." :woohoo:

[Hissyspit]

17. Add me to the Crew roster!

:hi: And, thanks, I will :boring:. (Will prob get up about 3 p.m.)

[Clintmax]

23. Done! You'll be on the list beginning with tomorrow's thread!

Welcome to my Crew, Hissy! :party::hi: If you see me in here when you get up, say Hi!

[MissHoneychurch]

12. Good morning Clint

my plans for the weekend ... the same as the last days ... cuddling underneath my blanket on my couch, watching TV, sleep and trying to get rid of my cold.

[Clintmax]

14. Morning, Miss Honey!

:hug::hug::hug:
I'm sorry you're still feeling bad. I know that colds suck. Be sure to drink lots of fluids and I hope you get to feeling better VERY soon, my dear. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

16. I bought me lemons today

gonna make me hot lemon later on and hot milk with honey. Then I also drink a lot of water and juice. Is that enough?

[Clintmax]

24. Yes, ma'am, that should be good!

All of those should be a big help. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

29. Good

:)

Heating up a tomato soup right now. Its lunch time

:hug:

[Clintmax]

33. I LOVE tomato soup!

:bounce: YUMMMM! With saltines...even better!

[MissHoneychurch]

37. saltines????

[Clintmax]

39. Crackers.

[lizziegrace]

40. Clint!!

Good morning! :hi:

I got permission from my new landlord to start moving all but the furniture into the farmhouse! You have no idea how much that will save on packing time. I can take the stuff up in the car and unpack right away. No waiting for the movers on the 29th. Today the linen closet and china are getting moved, and some necessary cleaning will be done as well.

On this end, my daughter's new boyfriend (who wants me to like him) has offered to help. Since my left wrist is toast, he can help me disassemble the antique table and move some heavier stuff around. BTW, I already like him but I can sure use the help!

So that's my weekend. Pack up the car, drive north and unpack. Repeat.

I remember that Exile song from high school. You've got good taste.

LG

[Clintmax]

46. Morning, Miss Lizzie!

:hi:
Sounds like you're going to have a busy weekend! I hope you get lots done!

[lizziegrace]

47. Me too!

If I had the money, I'd pay double rent to get the hell out of here. The "girls" next door had another party and I wished so badly that I was anywhere but here last night. :(

[Clintmax]

51. Oh, shit.

I hate that. x( I know how you feel about wanting away from where you are. I want to move as well. This complex has become a ghetto. :rofl:

[lizziegrace]

52. I'm sorry Clint, I TRULY understand

I've lived this way for 3 years now in two different places. Both had twenty-somethings who partied until the bars closed (I'm only 3 miles from the OSU campus) and came home to continue. Slamming doors, squealing tires, loud music. And last night, they blocked my car in. It's a damn driveway, not a parking lot, but somehow, they managed to cram 6 cars in front of the two garages. x(

And all of them were raised in this upper-middle class suburb with parents who just sigh over their "bad choices". I've known the family of one of the girls next door since 1994. But blood is thicker than water.

Sigh...rant over!

Carry on.

(just 3 1/2 more weeks!)

[Clintmax]

55. Luckily, I haven't had as much trouble as THAT...

But it's time to change addresses, that's for sure.

[lizziegrace]

61. And this is where I'm going

30 acres around me. :bounce:

[newyawker99]

42. Good morning everyone!

:donut:


:hi:

[billyskank]

43. Hey newyawker!!

:hi:

[newyawker99]

45. Hey billy!

:hi:

[Clintmax]

48. Good Morning, Miss NewYawker!

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you today, my dear! :bounce:

[Minnesota Libra]

44. I slept in a bit this am but am here now to.......

.....wish everyone a great Saturday.:loveya: Hope this day is restful if you need rest and eventful if you want excitement.:grouphug: Be good to each other and let's find a way to get behind the Democrats to beat them horrid neocons.:bounce:

[Clintmax]

49. Hail, Minnesota!

:hi:
I slept in a little as well. We all need that once in a while! Let's get behind them, says I also! :bounce: Good to see you today!

[Minnesota Libra]

53. I AGREE we all need a bit of extra rest occasionally, I just.......

......want to wake up from my dream one of these days and find the fundies have all been sent packing one and for all.:toast: I know that will never happen but it's my dream none the less.:bounce:

[Clintmax]

58. Mine too!

I wish every corrupt one of them were gone for good! I keep wondering what it's going to take to get Chimpyboy impeached? :shrug: What are we going to find out next, and will that be the straw that breaks the camels back?

[Cannikin]

54. Good morning Clintmax!

Great to see you this beautiful saturday morning.

[Clintmax]

56. Hail, Cannikin!

:hi:
It's great to see you too, Buddy! How's every little thing in your neck of the woods?

[Cannikin]

57. Everything is great. Nice weather today and I intend to enjoy it.

[Clintmax]

59. Me too, Man!

Sunny and 75 down here in Florida today! :woohoo: I'm glad you're doing good!

[Clintmax]

60. Well, My Crew, I'm off to go get some things done!

I need to make a Circle K run also, so, I'm outta here for now! Take care, and have a GREAT Saturday! :bounce::hi:

[Cannikin]

62. Have a great day!
