The Ark

Gee Whiz, with my new job I seem to only be able to
get here at 3 or 4 in the morning before you guys are
even awake, or after everyone has gone to sleep.

I may have to reconsider this working business. :)

Its time for me to go horizontal myself.

See you marinara.

Morning 40 F here. Chance of snow tomorrow night.

Morning Goofy, we must be on the same sleep schedule.
So, you got my snow, eh? 57 degrees here this morning.:(

Headed back for bed, have a great Easter weekend!
Small dinner this year on Sunday, only 8 of us.
Doing a 9 lb ham with brown sugar and maple glaze.
YUM YUM

A nine pound ham with only eight people?

Hope you like ham sandwiches. :o)

Nine Pound Ham?
How about a Nine Pound Hammer?

My first Chet Atkins song on guitar.
Practicing this one every day for a couple of months and learning it could well have been responsible for my divorce.
Oh well. Had to end eventually. Might as well have been for a good cause.

:)

Quoting RobDaHood:


Ahhhh, see Pottery, you ask the wrong question. What you should be asking yourself is "do I know anyone who has come back?"

Big place, that delta. One could lose one's self. Then again, one might spot a pink dolphin.

Have a good evening my friend.

Greetings, on this Glorious Saturday.

Have no Fear, Capt.
It seems that there will be 3 boats and one is a powerboat.
I'll send you some charts and notes from other people who have done the trip and it seems that we will follow a pretty well-beaten path.

And anyway, if we dont come back we can always say it was our Destiny to be swallowed up by the tangled roots of the Mangrove Swamp of Life.

Sounds more Exotic than crab-grass, dont you think ?

:):))

Hoppy Easter dear old friend
I Hope you and yours have a blessed Easter!
Been so busy (grateful) and since its that time of year again - working emergency preparedness for the disability community.

No rest for us weary pyrates.

Have a blessed Easter....

Good to see you Emmy.

Happy Easter from here to you and yours.

p.s. ... I didn't mean to highlight that word above. It just sort of happened automatically. Yeah, that's it.

:):))

happy Easter all. 33 F here. sunny. Coffee good.

Have a great day with your family!

I'm headed back to bed.

63 degrees and rain.

And a calm 63F with a slight chance of rain this fine Easter day.

Hope all have a blessed day.

I shall attempt to keep my posts, err, Easteresque and be mindful of a blessed occurrence 2013 years ago.

Haze burning off and blue skies peeking through.

95% complete on painting list.
It's a good day. I didn't fall off the ladder even once.
:)


> )))">

Happy Easter, everybody!

Flurries now

Happy Easter Rob and all!

Hope you had a nice day =)

Hi Rob, yeah, that last boomer threw me right out of
bed! LOL

After the family left I went to put the leg up on the
two big monster pillow shams around 8 PM for just a
little while and went out like a light bulb.

Not anymore. :)

Hope everyone had a great day, we sure did.
Looks like the big stuff went by South of Macon.

Found a new receipe for a ham glaze yesterday, is
really sweet, but wonderful. 1 cup Apple juice, 1 cup
Dark Brown Sugar, 1 cup pure Maple syrup. The last
30 minutes checker cut the ham and pour the glaze all
over the ham and cover with foil to keep it from
burning. YUM - toot sweet!!!

HA HA Pottery - you caught it huh?

Yes I miss you too Rob we so need to catch up. Lots to talk about...

WE GOT RAIN today - it was heavenly ... I was in Galveston for Easter with friends and family and the sky opened up - even better than a basket full of chocolate...yeah, we're that desperate for rain.

Let's catch up Rob
and tease away DEAR POTTERY LOLOL

XOXOXOXO

News Flash. Heat Wave strikes western Europe. Townsfolk awakened to the sight of a giant bright orb rising in the eastern sky. It has caused a heat wave. Temperatures are reported to be almost 2.5 C. Soon we will see Yankees strolling in shorts and golf shirts. Maybe even sandals. With the clear skies some of the 24 inch frost may even melt. Frozen nuts buried by the tree rats may thaw. Well that's all the earth shakin news from this quarter. That is as long as you are not on El Hierro. Vee working on de 2 cup of Joe and good morning to one and all.

WOW, Snow in Macon, Georgia!!!

Curly, Larry, and Moe are not happy campers. :)

Good Morning, Critters of The Ark.

And especially the Pyrate Queen !

Another hot and glaring morning. The kind that makes the eyes want to stay shut.

Sad to see Moe and Co. looking a bit bedraggled out there in the white stuff.
Yer supposed to bring them in, Snakeymon, and ply them with Brandy.
It's the Humane thing to do.
And while your'e at it, have some yourself. Then get up and dance on the table around that ham. And dont forget to chant "oonga boonga macarena" while you do it.
Best cure for legs that I ever did come across.

(actually, it's probably the two weeks in bed after the dance/prance that does the cure. But it's more fun this way )

:):))

Oh, and a Happy April's Fools to everyone.

Quoting theshepherd:
...and on the home front.


My daughter finally decided on a color to paint the house.

In the meantime, I educated myself on Avocado trees.
She has a wonderful young healthy 10' Avocado tree already on the south side of house, but it's only like 8 years old and hasn't flowered yet. No, I refuse to try and graft a tree that size with a mature scion and risk losing it to whatever. It will fruit, it just needs time.
I went to the local mom and pop nursery this AM and found one about 7' tall that was grafted correctly as a seedling with a mature scion and has about 50 new avocados already fruiting on it, and planted that bad boy beside the grapefruits and oranges.
Yes, we have Avocados. Can't wait for my next trip down.
I'm ready for some fresh avocado cheese burgers and avocado dip creations.
Life is good.

So, I'm painting the house now. Painted the front this afternoon around brick and entryway. Should take maybe 3 days to finish between rums and watching the Jodi Arias trail. :)

BTW, young oranges make a great substitute for limes for the rum and Coke.

Yo Lord Pottery, that mountain pool looks awfully inviting. I'm thinking about sacrificing a trip to the keys to buy a plane ticket to your neighborhood. :)

Hey, watch out for that Red Bay disease. It is killing red bays in my area and is going to head for the avacados next. :(

Also, I think I have allergies to pollen or something... Nose is like a mini waterfall. Ugg... I also have a cough, which isn't too bad.

BTW guys, do you think Google is going crazy? They now have something called Google Nose, to where you can smell dirty diapers and wet dogs, vanilla, and other things... Sounds like that is eventually going to go wrong when someone types in fart and they get to smell one for the rest of the day... :-O Yuk... Well, I have to go, bbl. :D

mornin mornin

so if any of you start a new blog today,expect to see WU April Fool's message stating First!!!
