Morning folks, coffee is ready help yourself to the cups in the cabinet to the left of the sink, sugar in the bowl by the microwave.

Warm here already this morning. Gearing up to be in the 90's again today. Can't complain too much, we've had an extremely mild Summer thus far this year.

Gotta run, help yourself to the coffee.

One pot of coffee gone, another is ready and waiting.

might want to double check the white stuff you're putting in your coffee. :)

John Wright

08-11-2009, 06:31 AM

LOL....No "white stuff" for me....LOL, the creamer dish is not for me.

John Wright

Morning folks.......Coffee is up, if anyone is interested in a cup or two. For me, I'm just pluggin in my IV with a fast drip to keep the caffine rollin on through the morning til I can wake up.....LOL

Hell I'm about to take more mornign nap. I had to get up at 4:30 this morning and make a run to the airport to pick up someone. Not a big deal except I lost track of time last night and went to bed late. I'm sleepy, lol.

John Wright

08-12-2009, 04:58 AM

Sounds like you need a cup of extra strong coffee.

Time for a bowl of cereal after some morning stretches and exercise.

John Wright

08-12-2009, 08:33 AM

I'll agree with the stretching and exercises....gotta work off this big Lunch that I just had....uggh, I gotta quit these big lunches, they are too much work to burn it all back off.

John Wright

08-12-2009, 11:42 AM

Ya'll have a good evening, I'm heading out to get my kids picked up and grab some supper.

John Wright

Been up since 3:30am. Tried getting my wife's computer to connect to the network without success. tried getting my computer to connect to the chat for tonight without success. And my severe migraine that I have had since sunday morning is ramping back up after a brief respite. Was going to hit the junkyard but between it being wet out and the stabbing pain in the back of my eye I think I will wait.

John Wright

08-13-2009, 04:45 AM

Man, I feel for ya about the headache......I've had sinus headaches for most of my adult life. Sometimes the best thing is to grab a couple tylenols and go laydown and get the room quiet and dark....bright lights and noise always made it worst.

No, seriously. Never been on it. Should this make more sense to me?

I'm no where near twitter and never will be. I'm just playing along

John Wright

08-18-2009, 09:12 AM

Never "twittered" either...just trying to lighten everyone's day. You don't have to have a virtual cup of coffee if'n you don't want one.

Twentyover

08-18-2009, 10:35 AM

I don't need the virtual caffeine..... Makes my virtual blood pressure rise......

Do you have any virtual Bear Claws?

TonyHuntimer

08-18-2009, 11:25 AM

Do you have any virtual Bear Claws?

Now THAT's funny! LOL!

My virtual coffee buzz is wearing off. Thanks John. I'm making virtual Skippy Super Chunk peanut butter and Smuckers strawberry jam sandwich's for lunch. Anyone want one? Sorry. I only have virtual wheat bread. :)

WS6

08-18-2009, 03:04 PM

woke up late but I was going to demand where's the coffee at 5:30 this morning. Now that school is back in session I have another job I do. From 6pm Monday to 6pm Tuesday, I'll work 14 hours minimum and attend one class. That's every Monday and Tuesday. Surprisingly, I'm doing just fine, lol.

See, you were doing good but I can't stand that virtual strawberry flavoring. If you've got any virtual grape instead, that on the virtual wheat bread would be my preference. (You might try the virtual Walmart store brand chunky peanut butter, it's pretty good).

Morning all. I'm going to need an extra cup this morning. Today I'm getting the moving truck and packing up my junk so I can move to Memphis. Wish me luck.

Andrew

I had a double strong cup !!

Thanks John !
This thread actually cheers me up.
You're so friendly.

08-19-2009, 07:38 AM

John, have any virtual ice cold soda pop in the virtual fridge? I could use a refill this morning. No coffee for me, thanks.

TonyHuntimer

08-19-2009, 08:33 AM

Good morning all. Time for a small virtual snack, then a standard sized virtual breakfast in about 45 minutes. My trainer says this will boost my metabalism. I think it's actually working. :)

Andrew...I hope the move goes well. I also hope it's planned move. It can't be fun moving all your car stuff.

derekf

08-20-2009, 03:00 AM

Tony, you of course mean your virtual trainer says it'll boost your virtual metabolism?

08-20-2009, 03:40 AM

Andrew, hope all goes smooth. Hope to see you at RTTH. Been up since 4 am, could not sleep. I'm on vacation this week and was going to work around the house. Well day 4 in the garage has already started and I'm brewing my second pot of coffee. :)

Happyfunballs

08-20-2009, 04:17 AM

Since we're all having virtual breakfast......I just did a virtual 3 hour workout with Christie Brinkley. Gotta keep my 8% body fat.

Yea right.

John Wright

08-24-2009, 03:33 AM

Morning guys. Mudz up....or you can grab a cold drink from the fridge, if ya rather....LOL

John Wright

08-24-2009, 07:24 AM

Morning John. I might need an extra cup this morning. The move went ok, but the shower is not working and the fridge was DOA. Today a new fridge is being delivered and the plumber is showing up as well. Wish me luck!

Andrew
Ah man, that "stinks" about the fridge.....and the shower.
Sometimes you have to wait until the oil finds it's way back down to the compressor if you happened to turn the fridge upside down or lay it down to get it through some doors or whatnot. The compressor won't last long if the oil didn't have time to settle back.

Good luck with all that....moving stinks whichever way you box it.

andrewb70

08-24-2009, 08:50 AM

Thanks John. The fridge came with the place. It was working during the final inspection last month, but when I came on Thursday it was dead. The new fridge is here and I can finally go grocery shopping.

The plumbers are having a good time. NOT!!! They are trying to fix some other hack *******'s work. Ugh.

Andrew

John Wright

08-24-2009, 09:18 AM

They are trying to fix some other hack *******'s work. Ugh.

Andrew
I hate that too....another reason that I change my own oil. As simple as that task is, it's hard to trust someone else to use the correct sized wrench.

Morning Folks.

New pot-o-mud is ready.

andrewb70

08-25-2009, 06:25 AM

I'm going to need another double today! The fridge was delivered without issue, and the plumbing got fixed. The plumber ran into some hacks work. We've all worked on cars and have wondered how in the world anyone could "fix" something so poorly. I order to get to the back of the mixer valve, he had to cut away about a tubes worth of silicone and a can of expandable foam. Ugh. So $400 later, I have a working shower.

After all that, I drove back to bowling green. I have to clear out what's left in my house and clean it up to get it ready to rent. Make that 3 cups today.

Andrew

andrewb70

08-25-2009, 06:27 AM

Well here's hoping you get things squared away Andrew! Shouldnt be too bad, unless they have to cut open your walls to fix the plumbling.

I do have a question though, How is Memphis? Hows the job market and housing? Ive always wanted to move to that part of the world...but never known anyone near there.

Memphis is a pretty neat town. It certainly has it's share of issues, but so do all cities. I can't really comment on the job market, but I can tell you the weather is amazing. Sure it's hot in the summer, but the winters are mild and fall seems to last forever!

Andrew

John Wright

08-26-2009, 04:02 AM

Coffee has been brewing for a while, so it should be good and strong...help yourself to a cup.

Tony_SS

08-26-2009, 04:20 AM

g'morning! on my way to the fridge for a cold one.... soda that is.

GrabberGT

08-26-2009, 04:58 AM

I'll take a tall with a double shot of espresso please. Where were you at 3:30 this morning. Kiddo woke up and I just could not manage to go back to sleep. Had a couple episodes of Top Gear recorded so at least I was entertained.

'Morning all, just rummaging hoping for the chance of finding some cyber pop-tart or donuts, a banana, and some hard hitting cup of joe.
I had a late-nighter working, but thank God it's friday! I'll be leaving a bit early today and fix the gas leak on the new carb.
Nice long weekend, should be beautiful.

Good morning all. Actually, I slept in and am just rolling out of bed! Hope you didn't put the donuts up yet! Going to get ready to drive to KC today and spend the weekend at the Goodguys show and then at the Greaserama show after we leave there. Pretty good shows, although totaly different.

You guys have a good one.
