Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: number 6 Date: 06 Aug 05 - 02:54 PM Jerry ... I would love to construct one of those in our back garden ... unfortunately the yard it's too small. sIx |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: number 6 Date: 06 Aug 05 - 02:58 PM gnu ... I knew I'd expect that kind of post from you. What perception are Mudcatters getting of New Brunswick? Is it hot up there in Kent County today ... it certainly is down here in Saint John ... just got in from hosing down the back garden ... gotta wash out all that toxic fallout from the refinery and paper mill. sIx |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: gnu Date: 06 Aug 05 - 04:06 PM And what with all the new $$$ for LePreau, you should be awash in plutonium soon as well. Wait a minute. You are only a little more than an hour away. That's about two hours on a moderate wind. Oh well, lots of fluids should flush it out. Hey, did you see where Moose won gold in New York this year, too. Wow, they are really cleanin up! Two in Belgium and this one in USA. Go Moose!! Moose be the plutonium eh? |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: LilyFestre Date: 06 Aug 05 - 07:28 PM I slept in, made some plans, played with the kitten, checked out the regulations for veggies for the upcoming county fair (must submit tomorrow), went for a ride in the country, finished one book (Weeping on Wednesday...mystery), picked up where I left off in another (Eco-Village, Ithaca), had Chinese for dinner, played with one of the dogs and I am now about to go out and water the garden and play some more with the dogs. :) A lovely day if I do say so myself. It's nice to be home! Michelle |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: gnu Date: 06 Aug 05 - 07:44 PM Gee, Michelle... sounds idyllic. I'd ask if you were single, if I was so inclined. |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: number 6 Date: 07 Aug 05 - 09:00 AM gnu ... thanks for reminding me about LePreau. With the refinery just north of me, and that nucklear power generating plant just south of me I'm sitting in a very vulnerable situation. Think I'll go get a vew cases of Moose and get stinkin' drunk, to releive my anxieties .... but it certainly reassuring to know I will be in a stupor brought on by an award winning brew. Moosehead ... certainly deserves it's accolades! sIx |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: number 6 Date: 07 Aug 05 - 09:06 AM LilyFestre ... we did the same thing yesterday. Spent the entire day in the garden and walking the dog. It was one of those special, warm sunny days and was good to kick aroung the home and walk around the neighbourhood. Went out last nite to see Steve Forbert ... We were quite surprised how much better he is live, solo with an accoustic guitar than his recordings. All in all it was a nice, comforting day. sIx |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: Catherine Jayne Date: 07 Aug 05 - 01:20 PM Yesterday we went to Eastbourne Lammas Festival with the Giant and took part in the parade..got a bit sun burnt which wasn't a good idea. Being by the sea with the sea breaze you don't notice how hot the sun really is. Today I have been relaxing. I made home made crumpets and some scones. Tomorrow it will be back to work |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: sixtieschick Date: 07 Aug 05 - 03:03 PM As usual, I unplugged everything to engage in fulfilling creative work. Then plugged in everything and engaged in mostly futile attempts to drive the wolf from the door (where he is baying ever more loudly and insistently). Took the usual potions and motions to cope with the entropy gradually encroaching on an aging physiology. Checked in with the few people in my life, family and friends, who are very dear to me and are mostly far away. Made the usual vain attempts over the phone to soothe the anxieties of an elderly mother. By evening said the hell with it all and made a pretty good salad and got lost in a book until sleep arrived to knit the ravell'd sleave of care. M. |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: gnu Date: 07 Aug 05 - 03:47 PM I wrangled hummingbirds all day for branding, but the whir of their little wings kept putting out the lighter before I could get the iron hot so I gave up. Cute AND smart. Sure takes a lot of them to make a good stew, though. |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: LilyFestre Date: 07 Aug 05 - 10:10 PM Today we picked veggies in the garden, selected the best ones, made a nice lunch, delivered the vegetables to the county fair, went for a ride, stopped for some ice cream and went home. We worked around the house, took a nap, woke up to the new kitten sliding down my leg, took note of the newest kitten wound...this one starting midway up my thigh and extending down beyond my inner knee...made dinner mostly from the garden (cucumbers, corn on the cob, squash and chicken) and relaxed. I love the weekend. :) Michelle |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: GUEST,Joe_F Date: 07 Aug 05 - 10:22 PM Took a shower. Had an omelet, half an English muffin, & coffee for breakfast. Vacuumed the apartment, and mopped the kitchen & bathroom floors; dusted most of the visible horizontal surfaces. Had a corned beef sandwich, a carrot, and two kiwi fruits for lunch. Spent more time than usual on the Internet. Pleasant phonecall from my brother in Arizona. Read the Washington Post Weekly and browsed in a book on Yiddish. Listened to some of Kipling's songs. Took the trolley to Mass. Av. station for a date with a fuckbuddy, but he stood me up; however, I studied the tune to "The Night before Larry Was Stretched" on the way there & back. Dinner was chicken livers, kasha, salad, wine, & crumbcake. Had a sherry while listening to some more Kipling. Expect to have a Bianco vermouth & read some Orwell before going to sleep. --- Joe Fineman joe_f@verizon.net ||: A debate on how to cure the incurable is a debate between crackpots & hired liars. :|| |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: GUEST Date: 07 Aug 05 - 10:30 PM Read a section of a mamoth (summer long) book. Helped raise $26,000.00 USD in one day for alady with cancer. Played acoustic with the fund raising group. Cleaned the swimming pool.
Sincerely,
Being Sunday, this was a day a rest .... don't ask - and I won't tell about the others. |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: Metchosin Date: 07 Aug 05 - 11:07 PM hmmmm....day of rest? Got up on the roof and cleaned all the debris from between the shakes with a sharp stick and a broom, then cleaned out the gutters. Still have the front gutter to do, but I did manage to catch Good Rockin Tonight: The Legacy of Sun Records, for the third time in less than a week and enjoyed it as much as the first. Also last Friday I finally got to meet my first Mudcatters in person. Frogprince and his wife dropped in for a visit while on a tour of the Island. Delightful! Although I must admit it was the first time I've been stumped by a request in the English language. He asked for a "dat pap" and I had no idea what he meant. My daughter finally explained that it was a diet pop. LOL |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: CarolC Date: 07 Aug 05 - 11:51 PM I demonstrated pet products to pet owners at the pet equivalent of Walmart. What an astonishing experience. The amount of money some people spend on their pets could put a kid through college. |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: Cluin Date: 19 Aug 05 - 02:41 AM Yeah, but the pets might actually show some gratitude. |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: GUEST,Mooh Date: 19 Aug 05 - 11:38 AM Pulled the frets on my Godin electric 5 string bass, filled the slots with ebony veneer, and now I wait for the glue to dry so that I can smooth the fingerboard. Instant fretless, that is, after a set-up. Later (when I find some like coloured rosewood) I'll remove the postion dots too, and fill the holes with rosewood plugs. Next up: train Rosie The Wonder Dog to do back massages. Peace, Mooh. |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: gnu Date: 19 Aug 05 - 04:58 PM I cleaned my HP mouse. The compaq mouse is okay. Odd. The compaq mouse gets a lot more use but picks up less dust. I guess it's better to have compaq balls. |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: RangerSteve Date: 20 Aug 05 - 10:18 AM I was off from work on Tues and Wed, so I called out sick on Thurs to give myself a much needed three-day weekend. I made my first ever eggplant parmasian and followed it with my first ever peach pie with fresh peaches. Both were a success. |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 21 Aug 05 - 07:04 AM I've been busy making covers for foam wedges for my mate with the broken ankle. The pillows keep slipping out from under his leg and it needs propping up, so I got a block of foam and cut him 3 different size wedges to slide under his pillows. I've also tidied the bathroom, cleared out the bathroom cabinet, sorted the plants out and am thinking of going to see lots of bikes this afternoon.... Guess I better get dressed first though. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: Scoville Date: 21 Aug 05 - 09:06 PM Threw out a bunch of stuff. My dad's out of town and my mother's depression (a side effect of her anti-rejection meds) has lifted for the time being so we're cleaning house like madwomen. I filed papers all day long and then helped her go through some of her sewing stuff. We have piles of stuff to give away and piles more to finish sewing and either use or give away. We finally threw out the pillows that belonged to my grandfather (who has been dead for 28 years) and some tableclothes, etc., that were my other grandmother's and are so old they're falling apart. We're getting ready to box up books tonight and send them back to my brother for him to deal with, since he doesn't live here any more. Then, we can get rid of his horrible cheap bookcases. I love seeing clutter go out the door. |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: Midchuck Date: 21 Aug 05 - 10:00 PM We played an afternoon outdoor gig at the Vermont State Zucchini Festival in Ludlow (VT). I swear I am not making this up! Had a good time. Pretty well received, considering the amount of other stuff that was going on. Peter. |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: number 6 Date: 21 Aug 05 - 11:26 PM I played the guitar for my 6 month old grandson. It's was amazing since it is the first time he displayed his awareness of it. The look on his face was priceless. Let him fulfill his curiousity by pulling on the strings ... it is the beginning of a new guitar virtuoso! sIx |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: freda underhill Date: 22 Aug 05 - 08:17 AM I live in an artists community. This evening we had a barbeque out the back to celebrate ten years of living here. It was a foine night, the stars were out, and ecopella, the choir, was rehearsing in our common room, as they do most Monday nights. We all brought food, the carnivores had their barbie, i made jugs of sangria, we had a fire, and have been standing around eating, laughing and reminiscing for some hours. On 15th October we will have a huge party to celebrate 10 years of living here - tonight, we planned it all. any catters who read this are welcome to come!! just let me know in advance so i can cater! best wishes freda |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 23 Aug 05 - 05:19 PM Not today but yesterday, I drove for 160 miles, spent some time with my mate with the busted ankle, gave him the foam wedges which were well received, then found my way to Herga folk club where I met Alaska Mike and Tawmee! I had a bloody wonderful day! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: GUEST,noddy Date: 24 Aug 05 - 04:54 AM I am feeling realy smug with myself. On Monday as I was driving rom Blairgowrie (Perthshire) to Edinburgh we picked up two hitch hikers. They were showing a card "Edinburgh" So I thiught easy that going to the Festival jump in. However they were actualy going to Newcastle to fly back to Prague on Wednesday. Well that was about all the info we got out of them other than they had spent the summer fruit picking to earn some money. We dropped them off at the A1 the road to ewcastle and headed into the city where we spent 5 hours of fun watching the street theatre on the Royal Mile. When we got back to the car and drove of my wife notice something on the back seat, it was a small bag! It was not ours. Inside it was a mobile phone, some Chezck money 150+ krona various cards library, insurance contact etc. A passport £890.00 in notes about £5.31 in coin what looked like a diamond engagement ring oh yes and a rather nasty looking knife. Needless to say we pawned the ring and the phone and spent the lot on a really good night out! No we didnt we returned it to the police who believe they can get it back to them. |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: JennyO Date: 24 Aug 05 - 11:32 AM An interesting assortment of things, starting off badly, but it got better as it went along. First, I leaned too far over the bath and ended up falling in, banging my head on the wall. I now have a big lump on the back of my head to show for it. Then, I locked my keys in the house, and actually managed to reach in from the window with a long pole and extract them from a hook in the kitchen on the other side of the room - bloody miraculous! Finished up tonight on the James Craig at Darling Harbour in an excellent shanty session with Danny Spooner and about 30 people all belting out shanties. That was the best bit! Jenny |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: number 6 Date: 24 Aug 05 - 12:17 PM Took Otis my dog to the vet ... sore foot. Working from home ... now sitting here at the Mudcat .. better get back to doing some work. sIx |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: gnu Date: 24 Aug 05 - 05:03 PM Finished up my last project on the books. Anyone need any design work done? Airport, seaport, highway, dam, water supply and wastewater removal, parking lots, storm drainage and retention systems, municipal roadways, traffic control systems, parking, foundations, buildings up to four storey's, specialized structures of steel, concrete, reinforcd concrete, timber, wood.... an outhouse? Oh yeah... I can play a Bodhran too. But, it don't pay much. PM me at gnu. gnu |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: bobad Date: 24 Aug 05 - 08:09 PM sIx How did Otis' foot problem turn out? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: number 6 Date: 24 Aug 05 - 09:26 PM It's not as bad it looks ... that's what the vet told me. He split a pad on his back paw sometime on Sunday while running around .... he hasn't been limping but I noticed yesterday he was obsessively licking it ... it was pretty nasty looking, a crack exposing raw meat ... anyway the vet said it wasn't infected ... just to keep him from licking, let the air at it and make sure it stays clean and just keep him off his feet for a while ... which isn't too hard, he's a greyhound and besides his weekly 5 minute run he just lays around the rest of the week. This breed of dog, suprisingly are very lazy. I appreciate your concern bobad, sIx |

Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today? From: bobad Date: 24 Aug 05 - 09:37 PM Glad to hear it wasn't bad, have had dogs with gashed pads also, their ability to self heal always amazes me. Is Otis a rescue dog from the racing industry? |
