First Cup Diner!

[Paladin]

Mornin' guys! There's a big group already in this morning! I'm guessing most have disbursed already. Jerry and Scott are probably back in bed and Monk is likely on the lake.
Good luck to all today, whatever the task at hand might be.

Ray

Mornin' Ya'll

Another weekend upon us. TGIF to most, but it's Monday to me Better than unemployment.....

.....seems like I've used that line before. Sounded like B.S. then, too.

YA'LL HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

[Paladin]

Mornin' Royal. I woke up early. It will be one of those lazy Fridays as I have no real plans for the day. Maybe a good nap and some 1st class lollygagging.

Ray

[jerryd6818]

Royal -- Keep your shoulder to the wheel and your nose to the grindstone. Somebody has to keep this country's nose above water with the taxes they pay.


Ray -- Sounds like a plan. I think I'll join you. Oh yeah, now I remember. That's what I do most every day.

[TripleF]

Like smoke through a keyhole.....another day, another week, another month.....I graduated from high school yesterday....


I'm here.

[Old Hunter]

Morning gents, about to start the little motel room coffee pot. Got a customer event to attend today -- looking like a wet weekend now. Have a good one! Bruce

[Paladin]

OH,
Jerry and I, and all the other retirees, sure appreciate you for going to work and paying that social security. It keeps us in beer and beans.

Ray

[royal0014]

For certain persons I don't mind workin' and payin' taxes, even some grumpy old Marines

It's the current society of Obamanites that bug me.....

....that and the fact that I'll never live long enough to retire myself.....

[TAB2you]

Gents,

A few pages ago we had some coffee issues with the Keruig. Cleaned mine out this am, and got a fresh cup of joe. I can feel my powers returning...

Duck season opens up tomorrow. Might have to jump shoot a pond or two.

TAB

[Old Hunter]

Oh Thomas, love shooting ducks - best hunting there is - post a picture of your bag! OH

[TripleF]

Good luck TAB. I loved both times I went duck hunting, absolutely loved it!

Mornin' boyz.

[Paladin]

Mornin' Scott! And also to the rest of the group.
Got my 1st cup cooling a little, got KOKEFM.com 'Golden Oldies' playing and all is right in the world.

Ray

[jerryd6818]

Scott. Ray. I hope you're both well this morning. Ray, do you have KOKE-FM turned on this morning? Webb Pierce right now.

[Paladin]

Jerry,
Right now it is Jealous Heart and it sounds like Tex Ritter singing.

Ray

[jerryd6818]

Oh, for Pete's sake. Homer & Jethro "How Much Is That Hound Dog In The Winder". It's been too many years to mention.

[Old Hunter]

Morning boys (geezers too!). I've been to Abrams with my Dad for a cheese biscuit and that first cup of coffee, then to Lowe's to take some excess parts back, stopped at Burger King to buy my wife some Cinnabon's (scored some points with her and grabbed my second cup), back home to start a venison chili to enjoy after the ECU - NAVY game today - busy but fun! I sure hope NAVY doesn't wipe us out today, they killed us at home two years ago - this is military appreciation day at ECU and I've got to say ECU does it right!

[jerryd6818]

Colonel -- I don't know if they do that or not but if Army was playing ECU, would you have to clone yourself?

[whitebuffalo58]

Mornin' Fellers, coffee's tastin' real good!
Well we got our first frost last night, but the suns out and it should melt off pretty quick. I managed to get our first cord of firewood in yesterday, probably need atleast one more before winter sets in. This'll likely be the last year I cut my own, it hurts more then it used to. Cuttin', haulin', splittin' and stackin' is a young mans game!
A great day to all!

WB

[jerryd6818]

WB -- It's all a young man's game. My buddy just called. He met his faux brother-in-law (live in girlfriend's brother) over at their parents house yesterday and helped lay two rooms of flooring.

Whine. That boy (my buddy) can do some major league whining. Of course, I can empathize with him to a certain degree. He's 65 and they didn't get out of there until 9:00 pm.

[whitebuffalo58]

I hear ya Jerry! A couple of years ago I was doing some fill in work between cabinet jobs with a couple of contractors I work with alot. We laid 3000 sq. ft. of 8" ceramic tile in a new tanning salon up north of here. On my knees, bent over 10 hours a day for 4 days. Then back for 3 more 10 hour days to grout it in the following week. I've done some hard time in my life, but buddy that job dang near done me in!! I love my wife, but if she called me a wuss one more time, I may not have been responsible for the consequences.

WB

[jerryd6818]

3000 sqft? I did this little bathroom a couple of years ago and thought it was going to kill me. John (my buddy) did his entry way last spring and the first floor landing this fall. All I heard for a month was whining. 3000 sqft?? May God have mercy on you young man.

Story from email for all you deer hunters.


In North Carolina, Sunday hunting was legalized last year for archery only.
I did all my prep-work . . .
I scouted the area all summer. . .
I searched out the best location for my tree-stand . . ...
I set it all up a month ahead of time . . .
I trailed the herd . . .
I picked out a trophy buck .. ..
Two days before opening day I rechecked every aspect of the hunt ....
Everything was in place . . ..

Sunday morning, I woke up at 2 am ....
I put on my camo, loaded my pack, set out for my stand . . .
This was destined to be an epic hunt . . ..
As I approached my deer stand . .

. . . I changed my mind, decided to go to church instead.

[TripleF]

That's funny Jerry


Mornin' boyz!
