The Ark

Quoting RobDaHood:
Thanks. Impressive cell for a few minutes there but not as much at the moment. Of course, that is a big, very shallow lake. could blow up, but think it'll slide by us.

Can feel the wind it's sucking in though.

Looked impressive on the radar for sure.

90*F here at 1645 hrs, humidity has dropped to 28%.

I don't think I've ever seen it that low here.

It was at 99% this morning, that is a drop, eh?

It has been a really long week around here.:)

Quoting RobDaHood:


I take that back the high has moved north east from you today. Guess you are in the dry slot north of us.

Yes, right smack in the middle of it.

That will be good though, the team gets back from Haiti tonight at 1845 hrs in Atlanta.

I bet they will be 20 tired folks but glad to be home!

We will also glad that they are home!:)

Quoting RobDaHood:
I was thinking about that earlier and thought they might have a rough flight, but the weather between here and there has calmed a bit today. Hopefully not too bad.

A little bumpy for a few moments perhaps but nothing major. :)

Time to start dinner, back later.

Check out the word of the day on Orca's. :)

Thanks Swampy, it is a great book of words!

Team landed in Atlanta at 1830 hrs!!!

All should be home in the next 30 minutes or so!!!

Waiting on text message when she gets to her house!!!

Thanks for the prayers you guys!

Oops: I had Leon playing and clicked "into the great wide open" had 'em both playing for a bit
OK I'm down to one tune now.
What if I played more at once?
Being a "One Trick" sort of guy I ain't gonna try that.
Reminds me of a Sam R. Delaney novel: "Bable 17" where all history is "compacted" into a weird screech which, if you figure out how to slow it down enough you can hear past and future. Been a while since I read it so don't quote me on that review.
RTL: we posted comments at the same time. I'll be interested to read anything you post about your daughter's time there. Wheels down is good in rough weather.

Hi Guys! Hi ycd, nice to meet you!

Overslept this morning, had just enough time to start the coffee, take a shower, and get to sound check at Church. Just got home from lunch, daughter is spending quality time with her husband and kids today and we will get the whole debriefing about the trip tomorrow.

Will fill you guys in about it as soon as we find out about the trip. She did say the team got the new orphanage, Alex's House, completely painted during the week they were there!

Time for a nap, and then we have a concert to go to tonight at 1730 hrs. See you later.

Al Stewart running - can't remember what?
Oh yes - Year of the Cat
Guess I just like music
Poetry is ok
But symphony behind the words is ...............
Where it's at

Quoting RobDaHood:
Getting the first real rain of the weekend now.

YCD, you raise some interesting questions. I'll try to find some time to think on it and get back to you.

RTL,
Glad all is well. Thanks for the report.

Since everything outside is sopping wet, I might try to take a nap myself for a bit. IF I can remember how to do that!

Hey all, the rain missed us again tonight. We really need it. The lake is down several feet and fishing only produced a 4' unwanted gator tonight. Perhaps it needs an incentive or rain dance to find and fill our watershed>

Now for a tune eh? I picked this over Phil Collins :)

Be well > !

Hi Guys!

Had to get out in the yard as the Sun came up this morning to avoid the heat. Was 62* when we started, 80* now and still climbing, supposed to hit 95* this afternoon. Let it come now, we are done for the day!

Might not be on in the morning either, I have that hilarious annual medical test tomorrow where they give you some laughing gas, and then pump about 250 psi of air in you, and then take a peak with a tiny camera attached to a rotor-rooter. :)

SugarBear will have to drive me home of course, I'll still be laughing till about noon!

Time to go to Publix, have to buy 2 gallons of Gatoraide. :)

Heh!!
Sorry for my Unauthorized Absence recently.
Entirely due to Forces Beyond my Control.
i.e., we forgot to pay the service provider....

Heading out to get the last Vital Supplies for 4 days in the Forest.
Looking for a Yoga Mat for Lady Pott, to place inside the Hennessey Hammok for Ultimate Comfort.
Seems that there has been a rush on these items recently, and everyone says "come back in 2 weeks..."

Anyway, I'll be back later with words of uncalled for wisdom....

Quoting RobDaHood:
Got a couple things to do myself, so:
If I'm not here, leave a message...I'll get back to you.

(no 'Snake, you don't have to wait for the tone...just type)
:o)

Cute. :)

92* outside now, the garage is still 25* less than that, I am glad I insulated those garage doors last year and put the dark film on the windows. A small window AC might be a good idea in the coming years if the temps keep going up every year.

OK, its about time to get this routine started.

Will check in tomorrow!

And now for the weather:

95*F in Macon, Georgia at 1715 hours today.

A new worlds record.

See, I can behave when I want to. :)

Have a great evening.

Quoting RobDaHood:
Hey Pottery.
Looking forward to it.
Wisdom is a good thing, called for or otherwise!

Yeah. Well I have seemingly written myself into a corner with that post and I am unable to extricate myself without trying desperately....

Let it be said that my weekend was a Good One, as I had some Friends & Relations came by on Sat to help with walls on The Studio (it's been suffering from lack of Activity...)
The day was good and we got through a lot of work, beer, food, laffs, whatnot and stuff.
Other than that, things have been quiet.

Heading out in the morning into the bush till Friday evening.
Lady Pott, Hammocks, 2 friends and all the fixin's.
Need to get into the Wilderness. We are both going a little nuts with Ancient Person here. Need some time off again. Whew!

Nice book needed on doing yoga in a hammock. And now the weather. The weather rock is swaying to the music that means thunder, lightning and Rain.

A little rain:

A little more rain:

And now for the weather report:

92*F in Macon today at 1800 hours.

42% humidity, very dry, but no wind at all.

Pollen count: 7.6 out of 12.

Spoke briefly with daughter this afternoon,
they were safe where they were,
but Port-Au-Prince was a dangerous area for American women,
they only went there once but had to be surrounded by
the men in the team and their Haitian counterparts.
They were not allowed to go to the tent city areas.
Will talk more when she has more time.

Out for now, I am doing fine, report was good!

Happy May Day!

The firecopter was up early this morning..

Quoting RobDaHood:
Okay,
Maybe one song.



Goodnight!

Gnight Rob, and one more for the ditch, arrrrhhhh! :)

HUP TWO THREE FOUR, HUP TWO THREE FOUR,

Oh, sorry, I forgot you guys don't get up as early as I do.

Was just out doing my four miles before breakfast.

Will try to be a little quieter next time.:)

Wow, just gave you a "SCORE" on Orca's blog!

Best Slam Dunk Zing I've seen lately!

Very well done.

Watch out for the bus of course. :)

I had to get outside early again before the heat moved in.
Started putting the mulch in the landscape areas this morning.
Then I mowed the lawn, only takes an hour on the tractor.

I'm in now having lunch, give me a call if you want.

Quoting RobDaHood:
Okay, it's settled.
Fried chicken breast strips. Stuffed Jalapeno peppers. I'll let her decide on the veggie when she gets home.

93* here at 1530 hours today, 93* again Thur,
and then 95* Friday and Saturday.

I hear Fairbanks is nice this time of year.

Stuffed Jalapeno peppers???

That's like putting Wasabi on a cracker.

Both options are loony tunes! :)

I didn't know that!

I did learn a neat little trick the first time I dipped a shrimp into what I thought was guacamole and it turned out to be wasabi, take a small packet of sugar and put it in your mouth and let it dissolve in your mouth and it takes the burn away.

Won't ever make that mistake at a Japanese resturant again! :)

Rob, I've just got to say you must be racking up lots of brownie points in the husband-and-best-friend department. Talking Angie down after work, even though it leaves you emotionally drained. Fixing dinner though you'd rather be out doing some target "work". Angie is one lucky woman -- but you already know that.

Here's yer sign:
