Just about the time.......

Post by W.J.Langholz »

Just about the time life really starts to stink.....ie: The Twins can't seem to win with bases loaded and no outs....you wake up to this......

Image

the wind is blowing at 20kts(no flying today) it's only 18 degrees and it not going to get above freezing and it's only the 10th of Oct......
I'm sitting at the kitchen counter having my cup of jo thinking this really stinks ........my son sticks his head in the back door and says "Hi Pops" he supprised me and is home from college for the week end :D :D
That means the Mrs is going to take out that roast and we will have some potatos, gravy, and corn and even though it's to windy to fly we will turn a few nut and bolts on the Stang together...........

Ain't life great!!!!!! :D

Have a good week-end evrybody

I think you need to burn a bit more of that pig poop methane and heat the place up a bit. :)

My backyard this morning:

3-4" of heavy snow sticking to the leaves that haven't fallen from the trees yet made all the trees look like pines. I've never seen that before.

Pretty photos John, just keep that stuff up there! We are griping about it being 45 degrees already while I am up in Lubbock, TX. Not ready for prime time winter.

John,

The Twins must not be counting on very much post-season baseball in that new open-air stadium of theirs, eh?

PS: I was pulling for them against the Yankees the other day, but wouldn't have done that had they made it to Anaheim... :wink:

Yeah, I think it's going to be a shock to go back to outdoor baseball after 29 years under the dome. Thanks for pulling for us anyway, Miles!!! :D

Miles I wondered the same thing. My guess was your father and a brother. You (Moe) are in the middle.
