Yes, definitely looking at fun with the new place I have a good stack of projects (I like handy homeowner things), will also be getting in some exploration diving there. I don't think we'll get a boat this year (my heart is set on a little 16' pontoon boat if we do get one), but probably do a dock. Place has a canoe, might get one of the little peddle boats (BIL has one, they are fun fur playing around near the house).

And the rest of us? Heya PI...great to see you here

Mark, now I'm jealous! The pontoon boat does sound fun, the paddle boat too.

 

[FranC]

Hey PI..good to have ya.

 

[FranC]

Evening everyone! Tracy that Nanner Puddin Poke cake sounds yummy!!

I got lucky last night...he passed out around 11pm. Fran, you crack me up! I did see a pop up camper for sale the other day, but I'm not sure I could run internet to it...if I could find a place to park it

Backyard's always open sweetie but a pop-up would be darn cold this time of year.

Maybe my hot flashes would keep me warm enough!

 

[FranC]

LOL maybe so.

Well my gosh!!

PI, its good to see you my friend!

Our honey girl Fran had a Thread running here and I popped in to say hello and never left.

Lots of my old friends are here though and nearly everybody who hung at the ECF place I had is here too. So your going to be seeing a lot of familiar faces!

Good to know you are here too old buddy!

Hey Mark, are you a SCUBA diver?

I started diving back in the early 1950's and used to test gear for US Divers, Voit and some of the other companies. I dove up until around 1996 then I hung it up.

Yes I am, just certified as an instructor last fall, going to pick up a drysuit instructor specialty next weekend

I started diving 7 years ago, really love it. Been a divemaster 5 years, finally got off my .... to go instructor.

The course director for our IDC class was a Texan, EK Sowell out of Nacogdoches..

Its a small world Mark.

I live about 20 miles from Nacogdoches!

I lived in Venezuela for about seven years and my place was just outside of Puerto Piritu, right across the street from the Caribbean. Some of the best diving in the world ... at least as good as the Maldives.

Oh, and I wanted to tell you. I have a pontoon boat at a lake near our home and have enjoyed the thing tremendously! Its great for taking friends out fishing or pulling grandkids on tubes. We use it a lot until it starts getting real hot here then leave it for the kids to use until the weather cools down. The grandkids love to swim from it.

Good Sunday Morning everybody!

Wow, I must be hogging this place! I was the last one to post yesterday and the first one this morning. Where's Fran? She's supposed to open the door and turn on the lights and get the coffee pot going!

Its supposed to get up to about 70 degrees here today and the sunshine is coming down by the bucket full.

I'm going to get my 4wheeler out and run my dogs for a while after it warms up good. And I need to run a few other things to keep batteries charged up. Unless my boss lady tells me she has other plans for me today. A guy never knows ...

Hope you all have a great Sunday and nice weather too!

Wow, Mark! That sounds like a blast!

Good morning TT and Salem!!!

It's 41 here this morning, warming up to a toasty 45 today!!! hahaha The family enjoyed that nanner pudding poke cake, it really is good! I wanted to make lasagne for dinner tonight, but I only have one 9x13 glass dish. Might have to make a trip out to buy another. Been wanting more than one on several occasions anyways for reasons such as this! Love my Pyrex!

My dd's decided to get crafty last night and do some crayon art projects. They've taken photos and put them on FB, twitter, and instagram...I will have to get them to send it to my email so I can post it here. They turned out great! Oldest dd's isn't quite complete yet.

As for me, I will be around today. Just have a few errands to do, and lasagne to make....if I go get that Pyrex!!

 

[908Tracy]

Mark, I wish you many years of fun at your new cabin/lake house! I look forward to hearing about all of the fun you and the family have there.

 

[908Tracy]

Bov, Lilac, and Salem,

You are very welcome for the link to the poke cakes! I stumbled across that site and love it as well. I want to try the nanner pudding southern style sometime....ElDee has made me curious with that ejuice of his afterall!!!

I'm puffin' puddin"....Tracey!!

Mark.....lake house....canoe....That's great!!! All the big lakes round here are Army Corps....NO HOUSES!!!! I got a place down in Holly Ridge NC...It's inland of Topsail Island...Blackbeard's old stomping grounds...About dang ready too head that way for a day or three!! The pontoon will come...I had land too pay for...then a mobile home...then a boat capable of going off-shore...Now all that remains are the taxes and lights...

Heading back into Durham today...There is a Toyota 4X4....93 extended cab!!!!!!!! They're hard too find in good shape and usually bring a premium price...Hustle or die.....

Seems almost daily I hear things that I don't like...Stuff like the pass out at 11 dude...Last evening I saw a life long once friend...Now he's done nothing too me..I've seen him push his own sister off the cliff and do his best too break up a couple of marriages...Now he's pushing 320 on the hoof...He got that ride on the karma train...He smiled and laughed when he spoke...I just stared...No time for the silly sheet.....No use acting as I like him...I don't and haven't the time too waste...Smiling too your face and stabbing your back???? I'd rather go toe too toe.....

 

[908Tracy]

hahaha @ Puffin' Puddin'!!! Vape On ElDee!!!~

I'm enjoying some VG Purple Haze, awaiting on some flavors to try my hand at some DIY....stay tuned! (I do think it may either require some steeping time, or else the 50/50 mix had a tad more flavor?) I'll figure it out!

Good luck with the truck...crossing fingers for ya!!
