    Hark! Who goes there?

    Tis I....Adonis..... King of the Fits.

    Great job, Mary! Sounds like an amazing meal!
    Busy day in store - reopening government is timely and laborious.....

    My father arrives tomorrow night for the long weekend. Taking him to see the NRA Museum on Friday. Hope he likes it. Yawwwwwwwwn! Me and guns have an understanding. I don't like them, need them, want them, or desire them. I cannot be from the loins of my father! He's total opposite...

    Cheers for a great Hump Day!

    Mornin' BBB.

    You did good at Gibsons, Mary. Rock on.

    What happened to Skip's thread on the anti-geometry article he wrote?

    Got over 50 yesterday, back to freezing temps today.

    BBB OP ;-)

    "Me and guns have an understanding. I don't like them, need them, want them, or desire them. "

    That's why you went Air Force I imagine. But thank you for your service and support of the second amendment. You gotta love guns if you go Marine. Every Marine is a rifleman.

    Good Morning,
    The folks that proof boards did not understand article and thought it was obscene.
    We are back to normal January temps, highs in 50's lows in 30's; rain holding off till weekend.
    Mary, with 1/2 bottle of wine and shots of whiskey one does not need volka. You did good; hope you get lots of sales leads today.
    Burning mattresses today, trying to find what's hardest for inmates to start a fire with.
    Local farm market is starting a monthly supper club, going to give them a try tomorrow.
    Lee, what's on tap for day off tomorrow?
    Dave, what's turning?
    Steph, hope all is going good in TX.
    Hope those under weather are better.
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am

    Morning.
    I missed yesterday. Big day got up early to celebrate ds and his 22nd birthday. Overdid it with the rating and drinking yesterday. Ugh.
    Up and going now.
    That’s s big honkin house. I live with gun nuts. I’m not a nut over guns but I am a nut.
    Make it a magnificent day.

    LOL, Kelly :D

    Good morning and greetings from your favorite working stiff!

    I'm on an earlier train so I can have more time for coffee when I get to the city. It's the rush to get in by X that forces me to drink that abomination they call "coffee" at the office. So, I've bought myself 20 minutes by moving my *kitten* a little faster; and I already move pretty quickly.

    I work for a man who's custom license plate says "GLOCK 22". I have a 25 y/o BB gun that looks very realistic. So, if you break into my house, I'll put your eye out!

    No bread? No dessert? I'm beginning to question our friendship, Mary.

    Good Morning BBB.
    I am one of the only bleeding heart liberals you will ever meet that has a conceal carry license - I don’t like guns but I know how to use them and I respect the use and need for them.
    Counting the days before exiting the frozen tundra.
    Sam - I love that you are burning mattresses.
    Mary - what? No vodka?
    Bill - too funny that the thread with your article was proofed. Enjoy your dad's visit ;)
    Lou - sounds like you are finding the sweet spot for your morning routine.
    Lee - nice find on the trailer.
    Do good out there everyone.

    Good morning BBB.

    Sam, yesterday I glued up a blank of an exotic hardwood (sapele) to use in turning a chip and dip bowl to give my DDIL for her birthday. I also finish turned a maple bowl, just for the fun of making shavings. I still haven't started turning blanks from the pile of cherry, mape and hazelnut logs that fills the corner of my shop.

    Burning mattresses - yes!

    I got a concealed carry permit a few years back, but don't own a concealable firearm. I enjoy shooting, but haven;t done so since I retired from active duty 18 years ago. I'd make fun of those who claim dislike for a tool, such as a gun, but realize I feel dislike toward dirt bikes, ORVs and jacked-up pickups. So who am I to throw stones.

    Morning BBB

    Two days of mostly sitting...candy dish got the better of me yesterday afternoon so out of weeklies for the rest of today. Catered lunch and breakfast are going to make today hard. Traveling is easier than meetings.

    I haven't shot a gun in 20+ years. Grew up in a big hunting area. I have no strong feelings either way.

    Good morning BBB friends.
    • Sam, glad to hear you are burning mattresses at work and not at home.
    • Lou, once you build up some office cred maybe you can get them to upgrade the coffee. Afterall, you are the money man.
    • Mary, I think I would have enjoyed dinner with you last night. Next year in ATL.
    • This Flyboy has a yard sign that says "Security By Glock".
    • Caribbean cruises and trips to FL are on the horizon for some lucky BBB gals.
    • Business trips were always difficult on WW. Not impossible but difficult.
    • Have a great OP day.

    I missed the whiskey shots,???

    Show is dead, last day usually is. Bet ORD

    I'm on the hopefully before noon train, tomorrow and working from home Friday, since I worked sat/sun, okay, ok. We're getting our new water softener installed Friday morning woohoo.

    Boss leaves from show around 2pm, we close at 4pm. Byebye.

    We once at Gibson's orderrd German Chocolate cake for dessert I kid you not they brought a half of 10 inch cake to the table one serving. Yikes.

    Mornin' all. I have enjoyed some hunting at times with shotguns for waterfowl and also rifles. No big desire for something small and short. Like fly fishing the most and especially dry flies. We all have our likes and dislikes for sure.
    I love Lou's remarks. Yeah I might poke your eye out with a pointy stick in me home.
    I use to have OK martial art stuff but would probably pull a hamstring these days if I tried.
    Hey stay warm and dry folks!!
