The presence or absence of rodent dentition would be diagnostic…

It seems that breakfast is absent too…

Morning TRIBE! I had a terrible week but this is a new dawn. The newspaper came as I made my coffee, My dog and cats (and girlfriend) are still asleep, and I am able to read GoComics without somebody wagging his tail at me, rubbing my ankles, or saying, “It would be a good day to paint the porch.” Tell me God is not in Heaven.

Sounds to me like he’s visiting your house Lew

Good Morning, Lewreader & Plods.

Occasionally, I’ve had nights like Dagwood particularly while playing 2 card guts.

Good morning, Everyone,

Just checking in. It’s going to be a real lazy Sunday. There’s the Indy Car race today from Brazil, so that’s my excitement for the day. Love those races!

This is just one of the reasons why I don’t do pancakes

I agree Montana Lady. I was shocked to see only six comments on Bigtop at 9:30 EDT. I usually just read the comments rather than leave one.

Anyway, Dusty could be a rat, he acts like one at times. I’m glad he didn’t take anything else off; that would be really disturbing!

Good Morning, Montana Lady.

The only races I’m interested in are the daily races home from the plant.

And finally, check out today’s Mother Goose & Goose & Grim

The sun is shining, the sky is blue, there is no coffee made.

Good Night Everyone?

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪ Good Morning TRIBE! ♪

Hello to all those here!

I’ll have a 3 egg omelet with tomatoes, olives, mushrooms and cheese, some hash browns and DWFNC, thank you Johanan.

Good toons Grog and good pic Ooops!

Good Morning, Johanan, Thunderdog, Grog, Sir Lew, Doc, Montana Lady, LuvH8, Sojo and …………………………………..

Good Morning, Tribeandall.

Working at the store today. Unfortunately it’s going to be a slow day too.

James is doing a jog-a-thon for his high school booster club.

Good Morning Doctor Toon and ♠Lonewolf♠!

Have a good snooze Doctor Toon.

Good Morning, ♠Lonewolf♠, Johanan, Thunderdog, Grog, Sir Lew, Doc, Montana Lady, LuvH8, Sojo ,Big Sister

Done with morning service rest of day quiet. See if instructor is done with Essay. worth 200pts.

Good Morning ♥Kab♥!

I am awake again, and the sky is still blue. There is something amiss with the world today.

Good Morning Ooops! - Cloudy, cool and light mist here.

(suspicious look)

Where exactly did you get those clouds?

Good afternoon, everyone, especially Ooops! & Sojo

Good Afternoon Grog!

Ooops! - I didn’t, they came on their own. I’d just as soon they wern’t here.

Oh! Hello Sojo & Grog

Mmm-hmm, a likely story. You weren’t possibly thinking about how your plants could benefit from a nice spring shower?

Ooops! - The moisture may be nice but it’s getting to cool for good growth. Besides, I could water the flowers and to me the sunshine would be nice.

Well….. Who do you think liberated my clouds?

I don’t know. The great cloud liberater in the sky? Too bad you don’t enjoy the blue sky.

It scares me!

Good afternoon Tribe

Day has gone by fast. One more hour and then I have to go home and work on Wolfangil’s minivan. I’ve got to replace a CV axle shaft. Fun, fun, fun.

Whether home or at work, you never seem to get out of the shop, ♠Lonewolf♠. It’s a good thing you enjoy it.

You’ve got that right, Grog. On both notes!

Good Afternoon ♠Lonewolf♠ - Good thing indead!

Hi, Sojo. What are you guys up to today?

Nice thing is James helps me out quite a bit and is learning at a fairly fast rate. He also appears to enjoy it. It’s also how he makes his money when we get paid jobs.

♠Lonewolf♠ - Just trying to catch up on things today. :-)

Well, I’ve got to start shutting down the commercial account dept now. I’ll be heading home to work on the van. I’ll check in with you all a little later. If I don’t see you before you shut down for the evening, have a good one, Grog.

Good Afternoon, peoples! (esp: Sojo and ♠Lonewolf♠)

I’ll be scarce until Thursday at least–got a workshop coming up to go to.

At least the sky is not cloudy here, Oooops!–and the snow is melting fast and running off.

Hey TRIBE It was a beautiful day in Southern New England. I strolled in Red Sox T-shirt, shorts, and flip flop till someone upstairs caused my belt to break (had to be foreign construction, not belly pressure). Felt like a gang banger pulling up my pants.

Hey–they just had a report about High Wind to the east of here. Here–we’ve only got 20-25 mph winds. Only I could swear some of those gusts are higher.

No!!! Wait Sir Lew was walking around Southern New England with a Red Sox T-shirt and his shorts around his ankles? Were there any serious injuries?

Hello bmonk - Enjoy the workshop!

Hello Sir Lew!

Sorry I missed you Lonewolf. I had some work to do of my own. I’ll only be on until about supper time, which is a little more than an hour from now.

Hi, Lewreader and Oooops!!

… and Grog!

Wow, it is quiet today! I’m surprised Sojo or Kab didn’t mention the damage the high winds did in ICT this week. Blew a couple of utility poles down, plus a substantial sized tree or two. Just straight-line winds, no tornadoes suspected.

Hello Rmom!

Hi Bmonk, you are leaving us for table saws and sandpaper? Do you think you could make us a sled that has wheels?

Hi, SRMom!

@Ooooops!!: not table saws, but pen and paper. And Theology.

Welcome back Smiley Mom!

Hello, Rmom,Sojo, Ooops! & bmonk

Hi, Sojo, bmonk & Oooops! edited Hi, Grog! I guess you snuck in while I was typing my comment.

Gotta go–supper is calling soon.

I’ve been here, sort of, Rmom.. I’ve been busy doing some things around the kitchen. My last post was toward the end of page 1. I’ll me here for another 45 minutes.

I can relax for a bit now. I’m making myself a Bloody Caesar.

Bye bmonk.

See you later, bmonk! No problem, Grog. - I multitask too. It was just that your comment appeared when I refreshed after posting mine.

Grog probably slid down the hill…

Good afternoon, everyone. Just came back from my walk. The roads are all melted, and I enjoy checking for new animal tracks. Saw a good set of our Mountain Lion tracks, plus some small prints that I think are a domestic cat. (It’s a shame that people drive up our hill to drop off unwanted animals!)

Time to start dinner……Orange Chicken, with rice pilaf, and a small Mandarin salad. any takers?

Hello Montana Lady - Sounds good!

My daughter is going to make me burn in the sun.

Bmonk, you could make a plane and ….ummm….. pray it flies

Hello Grog & Montana Lady & Sojo

Bye Everyone! Love & Happiness

Bye, Ooops!

Bye Ooops!

Hi, M’Lady! Bye, Oooops!

Good Night Grog.

Dinner time.

Gunite, Tribeandall!

Good Evening, Tribe!

Done for the day! Finished the CV axle shaft, got the oil changed and rotated the tires. And the cleanup is completed too. Went pretty good. :^)

Had a feeling I’d miss you, Grog.

Good Evening ♠Lonewolf♠ - Glad your finally done!

Hi, Wolfie! - Good job! Our A6 has developed a front-end shimmy, but hubby hasn’t diagnosed the problem yet. If it turns out to be a CV, he said it won’t be as simple of a job as it was on the PT.

Hi, Rmom!!

He’s right, but it still isn’t bad really. Everybody thinks European means everything is harder to fix. Not always the case.

Wolfie - Good to know. He was looking at something on the Dodge Ram yesterday, I don’t know if he bothered looking at the A6 to find the problem. We just put two new tires on the front, so he wanted to do some checking to see if that was the problem. However, I’d noticed the shimmy previously, so I don’t think it’s the tires. At least his work schedule is back to 5 days a week now, so maybe he’ll be able to find time to do something about it.

A CV usually doesn’t cause a shimmy unless it’s really making a racket when your driving down the road.

Hi, Doc! I bought some Easter candy last night, since it was on sale. It seemed like there was a lot leftover for a week later. I just couldn’t resist buying M&M’s at 25% off, but I’ll let my sons split the bag.

Wolfie - No racket, so guess it is probably something else. It comes and goes, I haven’t been at the wheel, so haven’t figured out just what triggers it. He’ll drive it to work this week, so he’ll have ample opportunity to road test it.

Hi and Bye Doctor Toon.

Hope you find out it’s an easy fix Rmom.

Good evening all. I knew about the winds tough driving in and we here didn’t loose power like west ICT did and my mom lives close to mid ICT. Didn’t really know about any damage until news time. Today is cooler.

For the chocolate’s your talking about. I know what’s up with it. Prices are too high. We stopped buying it. And doesn’t help my system can’t torate too much of it. Well I finally got my rough draft essay back, and yes I have a few changes and couple rewrites. I’m not writter. I rather input someone’s else’s work.

Spring class is almost over. I hope to celebrate. Let all know final grade I don’t want to take class over. Basic English was very tough. You enjoy the nice weather The Sojourner

Good Evening ♥Kab♥!

It’s been a little cool and damp but I like change.

Hi, Kab! Looks like just NW of SG county has a freeze warning for tonight. I went ahead and covered our new tomato plants here, just in case.

Well, time to get ready for bed. Good night!

Hi, ♥Kab♥.

Hi & Bye, Doc!

Good Night Rmom.

Time for my zzzzzz’s.

♪ P&L ♪ ≡≡ POOF! ≡≡

Good Night, Rmom

Good Night, Sojo.

Are any of you watching the news a major very major news items is on.

Hi, ♥Kab♥.

Yes, I just saw that news item live on CNN (perfect timing for me, unless its “live feed” ain’t so live).

I was tipped off by an email from a friend with a Yahoo article, and then caught President Obama’s speech just in time.

Osama bin Laden is dead.
