HAPPY NEW YEAR from DOWNUNDER

[Arcey]

Bet you wish you was back in IA Arcey.  That stuff used to happen in the military before the regulations got tightened up.  It's just sad, my thoughts to his family.

Not this one. No. I don’t want any part of it.

[Leo Tanner]

Understandable.  Won't say nothin more on it.

I guy named Reuben came fer lunch taday.  Was glad ta see him and invite him in.  He is always welcome in my home round this time of day.  Still guessin on what supper's gonna be.

[Delmonico]

Snow startin' to come down heavy and hard, one of the co-workers heard on the radio some place called The Fort is closin' at 6.  Found out from the bosses a short time later.

[Leo Tanner]

You all need a break Del.  It's still cold here but the sun has been shinin and the ducks returned ta the pond this mornin.  They wait for the honkers ta bug out bafore they light here.  Angel is havin a ball chasin em around the pond, they're more fun than the chickens for her.

[Delmonico]

Doing invotory, my eyes are buggy.  Looks like the worst will hit about 6  keeps building behind, one of them any one's guess ones.  Not much wind though, hitting the ground and staying:

Been snowing here all day, it looks like we got about 3 inches of fresh stuff on the street outside my window. Cold, but not windy, yet.

Mention it all ya want. I’m sure I will.

Just that when the file hits court I don’t want my name on it.

Yeah, we're gettin' the stuff you sent, problem that scares me is none of them can even argree on how long it will last and how much.  Those are the ones we get it bad from.

Forgot to ask you Stu, from the thread on the straw bale church, you know anyone up in Aurthor County, I'm looking for a lost town or rather a Post Office, would like some Long and Lad on it if I could or township and section numbers.  Was around on a map as late as 1933, Carman Post Office, can't come up with anything, was started by some distant relative.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Weather advisory up for here starting noon tomorrow. Guessers are saying posiibility of 6" by Friday. Figures, I just got the drive down the way open again. Looks like blower time for sure...........Buck

Don't know anyone who lives there, but i drive through there a few times a year.  Don't know why, but the name kinda rings a bell for me, maybe there's a sign or something...
I'll ask around & see what I can dig up.

I get folks at work once in a while from out there, I ask, but no luck so far, I think I've asked a fourth of the folks from there.

(Arthur County is 718 square miles and had 444 people in 2000, for those who don't know.)  I hear that kid up there in town (note town, there's only one) is a danged good hatter.  I figure if I can get close to the site I can find in on a B&W saddle-lite like that town up in Cedar County I found for Buck a few years back, bet the spot is still pasture..  One can find stuff like that in prairie.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Del, PM'ed yu the correspondence we had then with the link, but like some of those Gov. archive sites, I beliee it's dead now.....Buck

[Delmonico]

Some night when I'm bored I'll see if I can find it again.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

I heard excuses the other day that makes me think they are going to try to use the outgoing City Manager as a scapegoat on this one. This might be the final nail in the Chief's coffin, I hear that Council is getting antsy about the bad publicity.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Sackett broke both bones in his right forearm falling off the bunk bed ladder last night. He got a cast on it today.

[Delmonico]

Buck, I forgot to tell you, out there you might want to block I-80 come fall, had to explain to one of the kids at work that guy wearing the Ohio State jacket.  Remember, you guys let them join the club.

Not good.

[Leo Tanner]

Sorry about the boy Slim.  Picked up another puter job taday, landlady's son an his wife.  The thing starts ta start then everything goes black.  Toyed around and got the start up screen but it never went nowhere.  Messed around some more an got inta BIOS settings.  Asked em ta leave it right there for the night and I will go after it tammara.  They have no back up discs, just my kind of challenge.

Tamale pie fer supper.

[Texas Lawdog]

The nasty stuff is headed this way. We should have freezing rain/sleet by tomorrow afternoon. I just don't want any snow. We always have our bad weather during the Stock Show in Fort Worth. It started last Friday and lasts thru Feb. 5.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

No snow here yet. 19 and dark. Emergency babysitting day

Slim, Boys will be boys. I busted a bunch of stuff when I was young, too. Wrist, fingers mostly.

Del, Just another OSU for them to deal with

[litl rooster]

iiiike's  Slim sorry to hear about Sackett, hope it ain't his gun arm

[Arcey]

Hate ta hear of Sackett, Slim.


Gonna get me some beer ‘n popcorn, cuz. Lotta shoes yet ta drop.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Morning y'all.
Coffee is hot.

iiiike's  Slim sorry to hear about Sackett, hope it ain't his gun arm

It is. We'll teach him ta shoot with either hand.

'Tis -2 and overcast. "Partly sunny in the morning...then cloudy with scattered snow showers in the afternoon. Highs 10 to 14. West wind 10 to 15 mph. Wind chills to 20 below zero."

Slim

[Leo Tanner]

Cawfee up.  0430 mornin so breakfast is light. 

Slim, try doing an eye dominance test on the boy, it might just turn out the other arm is the one he's sposed ta be usin.  A lot of guys in the Corps get a big surprise when they are tolt they are using the wrong arm while in basic.

Can't see the sky yet, but it didn't freeze, prolly means it's cloudy.

[Texas Lawdog]

It's been drizzling since about 0400 this morning. The Cawfee is strong. Sausage Bisquits for breakfast again, some sorgum to go on the bisquits. The rain is supposed to start freezing this afternoon and turn to sleet by tonight.
