What a lovely gesture, Aurelia.

I hope it does his heart good.

[Aurelia]

Good morning dear ones.
Thank you cat man I didn't know that. He said it smelled good I think it seemed to help
It's actually cold here hooray

[BeeWeeDee]

Hello barflies!

Sunday here. I'm thinking a reclining nude is my next project. I also have two more piles that can become "le petite tetons." And another remake of the snowsnake here that has been completely buried. Then some hot cocoa with marshmallows.

[Elorrum]

Awesome monster, BeeWeeDee.

Good Morning Bar. Yep cold, but not bad, since I don't' have to go out yet, and it is quite sunny. Friday, it was warm in the forties, in the morning, wet, and planning on rain. "too warm to snow" By the end of the day at 6pm, there was 24 degrees, three inches of snow on the car, and the parking lot was completely iced. With the new parking plan I had about two hundred yards to get to my car, one foot down flat at a time. Yikes. They have decided that the night shift parks close to the building, and the day shift parks far away from the entrance, "to be able to plow and salt... and prevent slips and trips... urh? Since we had a real downpour of rain recently, no salt or gravel.

One more week of nutty overtime, 11 hour days, two on, one off. three on, one off. I slept about 12 hours last night, four in the chair, and 8 in the bed, and feel pretty good today. I'm going to a bacon festivity at the Morris this afternoon, and have the bacon cooked, and now, wondering wtf I'm going to make with it. Merry merry y'all.

I've always loved seeing the snowmen Calvin dreams up.
It's really the only thing that makes me wish we had snow here.

Good to see you all here. Missed you

Cheers

Afternoon All!!
Got a fire goin in the fireplace.
That is something straight out of Calvin and Hobbs there BeeWeeDee.

I like it there, too!
do either of you remember "Bill and Effies(sp?)", or "The Liberty Bell"?

dang I'm old........hahah

I don't remember Bill and Effies but my former supervisor, a Sparks native, told me about it. It was originally a small truck stop/café on old US40 about a mile or so east of Boomtown. Former Reno mayor Bob Gashell bought it sometime in the late 60s early 70s and relocated it to the current Boomtown location naming it Boomtown.
I do remember the Chevron truck stop that used to occupy Cabela's.
Hang on to your hats: there is going to be over 200 houses built behind Cabela's

Ellorrum: Do you live in the north valleys? That's the area that got bullseyed by that snow squall last Friday.
Be careful driving on 395 between Golden Valley south to Oddie Blvd as that hill can ice up very badly.

[lucky420]

Liberty Bell on South Virginia, yes was good mmmmmmmmsteak

[ygmir]

Liberty Bell on South Virginia, yes was good mmmmmmmmsteak

indeed. I was partial to their prime rib, but had good steaks there, too.

yeah Bill and Effies became "Boomtown". they had a mushroom steak sauce my dad would stop and buy. Some home made family secret recipe thing.

[FIGJAM]

This song reminded me of you Yg!!!

God afternoon, Bar! It's a chilly afternoon in the bay, though chilly for us is nothing compared to what a lot of other folks get. The last few weeks have been all kinds of busy, and the next few will probably also busy... but thinking lots of dusty thoughts, and hope you're doing the same.

[MyDearFriend]

Good Morning, dear friends.

*starts ECM*

Cold here today, need more

[mgb327]

cold here as well. You wanna do some steel roofing with me today? Where's my coffee........

[Captain Goddammit]

Here's hoping you fall off the fucking roof.

[mgb327]

I love it when you sweet talk to me.

[MyDearFriend]

Please don't fall off the roof, we can't let Goddammit have his way in everything.

[ygmir]

steel roofing......now there's some fun!! A friend once stepped on a panel, thinking his partner had fastened it.......he surfed right off the roof. Luckily only minor injuries, but still!!!

*pours MDF more coffee*

[Aurelia]

Good morning dear ones

[Captain Goddammit]

I love it when you sweet talk to me.

Your last words to me were "fuck you" just because I lean the opposite political direction.

ha, actually Marty is very safety conscious! it's be "that time Marty watched me work with "9-1-" pre-dialed". hahaha
Sometimes he just makes sure to stand clear!! Well, many do.

[FIGJAM]

Is any place safe when it's raining Ygmirs???

[Elliot]

Yesterday I was pruning a tree, using a variety of ladders, when a neighbor came over carrying one of those "fall stopper" cable reels. No harness, which is kinda important, but he brought me what he had, seeming genuinely concerned for my safety. I am so fortunate to have such fine neighbors!

[FIGJAM]

WWYD???

[burner von braun]

[ygmir]
