good morning glenn.. :roll:

We have 57 this morning.. and sun.. I am not sure of our forecast :thinking:

We could have our warmest weather yet in August.. but they way it is cooling.. it feels like Autumn is coming.. :o

I have a "client" this morning.. then I am not sure.. I may see it they have the instant garage I want in stock.. and go get it. I don't need it quite yet, but they might have to order it.. and it would be nice to have it on hand for when I am ready.

Hi Dave and everyone 8)


How was your hike.. :thinking:


It was good. Long, but not strenuous. There was a waterfall that we got to play in. :thumbsup:

Hello Everybody :) I'm back from camping with our girls church group. I survived!! :? :lol: :rainy: It rained the whole weekend the tents were too small for the amount of people that came and some of the girls didn't come prepaired for the cold temps of the mountians.

Its a good thing I brought my sun/rain shelter it gave us a place to cook and hang out while the rain poured. Its also a good thing that I brought a few extra blankets for the kids that didn't come prepaired. I also brought my little three man tent for myself, but because the girls leader didn't plan so well and only brought 4, four man tents( which only means they hold three people realistically) :roll:

I had to share my little tent with a couple of the girls and I slept in the van.

Great story, Mandy! You can get some sort of camp trailer together by then if you start NOW.

:lol: :thumbsup:

Will you post pics? Your pics are the best...




Did I see a DAVE!?

:awesome:




Good morning, ThreadPals.

:coffee:

I'm up after less than five hours' broken sleep; was up late with a six-hour wiring job to put a 7-pin RV connector on the car. The whole rear interior had to come apart and I had to play limbo dancer under the back of the car too for a couple of hours.

:?

Even when I was in great aerobic shape; strong and fit, I wasn't exactly a "limber" guy.

*ouch*

hmm I just called on my shelter.. and they are out of the size I wanted.. and they are out at their other location.. so it will be a couple of weeks.

which really isn't a problem.. I called now... just in case of this scenario..

I have some more earth work.. and compacting to do.

well so that means I don't need to pick it up now.. so what's next.. :thinking:

I prescribe some yoga...


Your prescription is being considered... I'd say it's being heeded, but I haven't joined any yoga group or classes yet. And I may never... I'm not a "group" sweat guy... and I like to excercise outdoors.

I bought a large, magazine-sized paperback picture book titled, simply, S T R E T C H I N G. I will begin there...

:lol:
