Intermittent, but, manageable…! ;-)

I’m slowly but surely working on a update on Operation Moshtarak…!

sweet — have ya heard anything back on your application? was there a closing date?

Last nite I ranted about govt and euphemisms. Should have been ranting about dysphemisms. Also.

Love Soggy Sweat’s whiskey speech.

That train ticket-taker looks suspiciously like the predecessor to George Jetson.

Hi Suz!

hey mac how’s the big apple tonight?

I think that this is the first time that I can answer that the weather is nice here.
sunny in February it was.

Even’n folks. Been working on new shots from the Painted Hills in Central OR. Wed morning it was 27F in Mitchell, overcast and the car was covered in frost. Went out anyway and found some marvelous shots. The day before, however, driving from PDX, I had a tire blow out near Multnomah Falls and had to creep to Hood River in a doughnut tire.

Sucky, sucky!

I’m not going anywhere…! Just ask Suz…! I see you’re starting to get the hang of it yourself…! RBG taught ya well, eh…? ;-)

hey starbuck — that is sucky indeed. i h-a-t-e those donut tires… how ya been otherwise?

i remember ct getting some rbg lessons myself

Doing fine. How’s about you?

I thought there was something familiar about him!
“Jane! Stop this crazy thing!”

hey margot — how’s ohio tonight?

doing well — had some color at sunset the past couple nights. been real pretty

man you’re quick.

Uh-oh, You traitor, Suz…! 8-P

!!!

speak loudly and use a big stick was most of the lesson

I haven’t the foggiest whut you guys are talking about!

Delurking to say THANKS, again, Suz, for the toon. Dunno if I ever mentioned, but I think you’ve got the best links….

Man the memories once again. Watched it twice and after I hit “Submit Comment” gonna watch it again.

Hope I can say thanks in a way that actually shows it… but don’t know how.

Hope all is well with you and ALL firepups!!!

Hi Suz, it was a sunny day. Just lovely. Thanks for the toon!

i was teasing ct

hey ofguy — always a pleasure to see your fonts. thank you — i always worry about if folks are gonna like a video and your comment means a lot to me.

how ya been dood?

CT what were you applying for and who is Jason?
Suzanne in a word expensive 3rd highest housing market in USA. But the Herons, Sandpipers, Brandt Geese, Coots, Ell grasses are happy as are the seals, Otters, fish, Crabs and other Marine life that the Morro Bay Estuary harbors.
I bet your Bay is even happier.

same here :) the warmth felt good on my bones

i h-a-t-e those donut tires

Ya they just do good when trying to dunk em in your coffee….

hahaha-took me a while to place it too, Margot!

hey nahant — how ya doing?

count yourself lucky;

music of summer *sigh* love this tune

like 98 seasons out of 100? those inappropriate times?

well, being a Cubs fan probably can do things to one.

That bad, eh?

we be Olympicing it!! but ms julie complaining about the hour.. she has the kids choir in the am…

and !!!

Jason Rosenburg is the editor of the Seminal, and, I applied for the Blog fellowship that Derrick Crowe is relinquishing over at ‘Rethink Afghanistan’…!

when does spring training start? iirc i caught something on the local news about pitchers and catchers reporting? seemed kinda early to me — maybe they were talking about in the weeks to come.

Dude…
Jason Rosenbaum.
You must have Julius & Ethel on the brain again.

Been enjoying your emails and sent a few on of the 200 Dolphins surfing in the big waves. I also showed it around a coffee shop much to the delight of the customers.
Hope you are all staying well.

three days ago for pitchers and catchers

RBG gave me the 2010 Spring Training Reporting Dates…!

Only a couple more days…! Yee-Haw…! ;-)

trouble

Wow! Blogging has gotten to the point that people actually apply for a post?

*heh* I didn’t think it looked right but I was too lazy to look it up…! ;-)

Dang you would be great for Rethink Afghanistan. Their loss. And yes all that experience and connections with Geurrilla Guide, Suin and others. Let’s see what they end up with…they may need you yet. How long is the fellowship for? Til the war ends? G)

wow i did hear it right. daffs are blooming, trees starting to leaf out and baseball is almost here.

thanks ct

It was a paid fellowship… About $500 a month ‘stipend’ and some other paraphanelia…!

more trouble

fdl has a jobs page now

here’s the post that went with the announcement

Ah, that’s nice, and too damn bad you didn’t score!

Always a pleasure, M’dear…! ;-)

This is such a great song, the harmonies are perfect.

Heh!

Suzanne, great video. You always have the best cartoons!

ST has started for many teams pitchers and catcher and injured players, so it has started. Not everyone has reported yet, and won’t until the next week or so, but it has officially started.

ST games begin in a couple of weeks, and the regular season is only a few weeks away too. THANK GOD. I’m a baseball FREAK. Or I’m just a plain FREAK and was responding to this post simply cause of it’s number….

I dunno….

dood! swoon

hey teddy — thanks. how’s sf tonight

one of my 10 favorites ever. Perfect song.

nite bb

swaying in my chair blues…

hahahahahahaha come sit over here by me — we are gonna get along just fine dood

fuck — i did it again *banging head on desk*

great

and starts with t

That bad?

i forgot to look and snagged the 100 again *sigh*

And that is bad? Snagging 100?

has become a lln tradition that whoever snags the 100 gets congratulations — i try to avoid the 100 so i can honor the snagee instead of being the snagee

Nah, not bad. She’s just the “host” and hopes one of us “guests” gets to snag the nice round 100. She’s a decent person in more ways than one ya know.

Stick around, we might just make it to 200 and then you’ve got a shot!!!!

louis trouble

Let me then offer my congrats! After all, you do a great job here!

In fact, IIRC, January 1st LLN & LN got up to more than just 100.

Doubt I’ll be there.

Does 150 count?

marley trouble

I’m lucky these days just to be able to get it up!

thank you starbucks :) we gotta get together for another cuppa one of these days — when ya headed for the coast again?

I love baseball, but got out of the habit of watching games after one son stopped playing Little League…and then the baseball strike happened.

Maybe soon. My So just suggested we go somewhere else soon. I’ll let you know.

I’m going to save myself a whole lot of embarrassment by NOT responding to that……………………………………

oh shit…….

*embarrassed*

baseball games are best in person. aint the same on tv

kewlio dood

Gotcha!

evening, firegods

hey ppd — how’s the south south bay tonight?

light mist, but otherwise, everything’s great

clear skies and a chilly 35 outside at the moment. good night for a fire but it was nice during the day — didn’t have to start the fire until towards sunset.

I’m just a baseball freak. Played it waaaaaaaayyyy too long myself (chasing a dream) and then coached it with my son as well.

Dunno, I’m a huge baseball man, and not AT ALL a football man. Pretty sure that makes me weird, or at the very least, in the vast minority. I haven’t watched a Super Bowl in so many years I can’t remember. Of course, I still believe in Single Payer Health care as well as many other European ideas that also makes me in the minority. Guess I’m just weird (or “un-American” I guess according to the right wing).

35. Really? Well, it’s 39 here.

love trouble

Deal

clear skies so the water doesn’t moderate as much

worlds of trouble

trouble in paradise

I don’t recall my dad watching a lot of football games, but he did take me to a few baseball games and we watched them on TV. I can’t follow the football. Snap! where’d it go? Pile on. zzzz

Nice. Wow. Appropriate (tonight) song for me to say goodnight to all you firepups, and thanks AGAIN for the great links Suz. You really are the best.

Peace.

Joe
OldFatGuy

double double toil and trouble

i remember dad watching a baseball game on the tv and listening to another on the radio. i hear a bb game on the radio and immediately think of my dad. there were a few dueling radios out in the garage during the football/baseball overlap

That is sweet. Nice to listen and to go back 3 decades.

g’nite and thank you joe ofguy :)

troublemaker

Love the Lighthouse Choir! (clap) (clap) (clap) (clap)

Hah! Dobler was the dirtiest player in the league. Biting was not beyond him.

G’nite all.

alot of great tunes back then, bb!

g’nite starbuck

Dam, I forgot to tape the Potter movie tonite. Saw my first one last week.

bridge trouble

i read the first book and never saw any of the movies. liked the first book but could not get into the second for some reason.

in times of trouble

I second that!

My niece and nephew used to go to Borders at midnight to pick up the latest Potter book.

Wanna see something cool?

They used to have gospel groups come to Richmond, CA for a national competition. It was AMAZING!

I’ve not read nor seen any potter :-(

Stevie’s tribute to Marley.

oh that’s sweet dood

first movie for me last week. I liked it. Worth seeing, I think.

The girl I moved to CA for was a Stevie freak. Turned me into one, too. *g*

*laughing* i dated a guy for about 5 years and he was a huge blues freak

You think that’s why we met them? In retrospect?

Nice lead in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGO8HN1QQdI&feature=channel London 1977 Rainbow I shot the sheriff. RIP Bob

Suz, a question? Who is RBG and what does he do at the Lake?

let it be

i think some people come into our life for a reason — he was a reason i think. we had missed each other for a long time. he started working for a company the same month i quit — in the same office. his folks lived about 2 blocks away from me when i lived in the avenues of the richmond district — etc etc. we had been running with the same crowd at the same time and had never connected. and then one afternoon we met. we joked at the time about both wearing black jeans and black cowboy boots and how our shirts had the same colors in them.

oh my stars bb — sweet

Thanks. It’s on my list.

rbg is is in charge of the mod squad and trained me along with other mods. he is also part of the tech crew — dood wears many hats around here.

he has been jane’s right hand man here at the lake from almost the beginning.

when i find myself in times of trouble

OK thanks. Had never seen him referred to until a few times recently.

I agree. Sometimes people will come in with , seemingly, one purpose and then leave once it is imparted. One of the great mysteries to me.

he said the other night that he was the one responsible for me putting on my kevlar (laughing) i used to always screw up the order of the letters of his name and started calling him really big guy to keep rbg in my mind instead of rgb from my fingers. never good when ya call the boss by the wrong name :)

by jove i think we may just hit 200 tonight — haven’t had a 200 since the night before valentines

gotta stay on theme :-)

Excellent video. I hadn’t seen that. That was near the end of it all.

LOL-good point!

trouble

That’s amazing – they look so wholesome!

Didn’t seem so at the time *g*

Keep losing my connection – but I’m hanging in.

they were the good boys compared to these bad boys

That’s cuz you were overcome by the irresistible sexuality of the Fab Four,Sunny. :-)

tossing pixie dust into tubes for sunny

especially for this song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjaUTt5zS7M

Perks up. Bad boys you say?

laughing — was wondering if you were still awake

dood! that’s a find

Love that! Too bad it cuts out, though.

yeah…. would love to see the entire thing — wonder if it cuts off because he took off his shirt?

That’s danger!

danger zone

Whoa, didn’t even think of that, but I bet you’re right! And what did Mick do when the screen went to gray twice? *g*

could be

Here’s one for you, Margot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcPrzN-g-FQ

i wonder the same thing (edit reply to emerson)

FUCKity fuck fuck

HAHAHA! New rule-it’s OK for the host to get the milestone posts, too!

dammit i swear i never win anything i’m trying to win — and this is what happens when i purposely not try

tis fuckery

Hard to believe David Frost was ever that young. Here’swhat he looks like now.

fuckery indeed *g* (love that word!)

oh my — i saw myself in the mirror recently while i was wearing my glasses and was shocked. i have vowed to not make that mistake ever again — gonna make trying out the makeup i got for my bday uhhhh interesting

yeah, that’s not good. Personally I have to carry my own lights around.

Check out the video in 199. Can you believe Keith Richards was ever THAT young?

At least you don’t have to worry about looking like Arlen Specter. Frost could be his twin.

charlie watts looks pretty much the same tho

i used to sorta look like cher and now i find i’m more like ruth buzzie

Hah! Yeah Charlie has that reverse Dorian Gray thing going on.

Now Suzanne-you don’t look anything like Ruth Buzzie!

In Olympics news, US bobsledders should NEVER wear spandex.

i sure as hell don’t sorta bear a resemblance to cher anymore (although i still have those high cheek bones)

I think you have to throw your hair back more.

actually I could see that.

i got tired of it always being up in a bun or in a pony tail so i cut it short again. now its more like jamie lee curtis with less gray

OK, thanks for a fun night, ladies. Good nite, all.

g’nite emerson

holy moly look at the time.. i’m outta here too

g’nite all and thank you for the music and conversations tonight.

*poof*

whoa-just back to say I bet that’s a great look for you-really!

And then he went poof…

I see my late mother in the mirror these days — but it looked better on her.

nite all.
