Good Saturday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

:hi::donut:
Welcome to the Saturday edition of the Early Morning Crew thread! :bounce: The weekend begins now, my crew! :woohoo: I hope you had a great day yesterday and that you're ready for a relaxing, fun filled two days off (if you have them off)! I have to work today, but after my shift, I have nine glorius days off! You know, of course, that the time is going drrrag on today because I'm looking forward to getting off work this afternoon. :rofl:

What are YOU going to do these two days? I hope you have something fun planned and not just chores because, you know, all work and no play makes you a dull boy/girl. :rofl:

Here are a couple of good "Zings" from the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper I thought you might like!

"Funny how we are harangued about the U.S. flag display rules, but the Constitution, the governing document of our precious country, is flagrantly and cheerfully ignored."

"Homosexuals will have a hard time doing more damage to the sanctity of marriage than drive-by-marriage heterosexuals."

"Wonder why that tricky fellow, the intelligent designer, decides to design a new flu virus every year that is immune to all existing vaccines. Does he not like us?"

And so here we go with the weekend! Let's get this thing started shall we? :bounce: Time to rise and shine! :woohoo:

9. that would work since I'm going to be up this time

I'm kinda a vampire these days working at a bar.

I usually don't go to bed until the early am.

Good morning to y'all!

[Clintmax]

11. You work at a bar, huh?

Are you a bar tender? I've always thought that would be a fun job! :bounce:

[libnnc]

14. close, I bar-back.

Just serve beer and wine. I keep the glasses washed. Basically act as an extra pair of hands for the bartenders. It's fun. I love the peeps I work with.

[Clintmax]

16. That's cool!

If you like the people you work with, that makes the job even better, you know it?

[southlandshari]

2. Morning, darlin'!

I've been scarce a long time, but I see you've kept me in the crew, so I hope I'm first to wish you a happy day, today, sweetie!

:hug:

[Clintmax]

3. Good Morning, Miss Shari!

:hi::hug::loveya:
Oh my goodness, I've MISSED you! Of COURSE you're still part of my crew! :bounce: Once a member, always a member, says I! I hope you've been doing okay. :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

Always nice to see you. My self-imposed "vacation" is done, and I'm back!!!!! So very nice to see you! Hugs and kisses to you, my friend!!!! :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Clintmax]

23. Awww...you're welcome!

:hug::loveya:
Do you have any big plans for the weekend?

[SeattleGirl]

26. Not really.

Mostly catching up on my rest. But, I guess that's prety important. huh?

[Clintmax]

31. You bet it is!

We need to recharge our batteries once in a while. :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

36. Oh, that is SO TRUE!

So very, very true!

[Clintmax]

38. Yes, and so I'm glad you're going to get to!

:loveya:
I'm going to do a lot of that on my vacation coming up too! :bounce:

[Robeson]

7. 9 DAYS OFF!!....

...you deserve it Clint. Hope you have a GREAT vacation...:thumbsup:

[Clintmax]

10. Hail, Robeson!

:hi:
Thank you, Sir! I think I do too. I'm going to take it easy and take a few day trips, but otherwise I'm just going to hang out here and relax and take it easy! I can't wait!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

12. Good morning, Clintmax!

[Clintmax]

13. Good Morning, Starbucks!

:hi:
Your trip is getting closer and closer, Man! Are you excited?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

22. Of course!

Packing sucks, though. :(

[Clintmax]

25. Yes, it certainly does.

HATE IT! x( :rofl:
Any big plans for the weekend (I mean, other than packing)?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

30. Yep.

I'm playing poker with some friends this afternoon, then I'll be meeting another friend at Starbucks -- probably the last tine I'll ever see them, at least until I return for a brief period.

[Clintmax]

33. That's good!

That you're going to take a break from all the tedium of packing at least for a while.

[Random_Australian]

15. Morning!

[Clintmax]

17. Good Morning, Random!

:hi:
You holding up, Mate?

[Random_Australian]

24. Yesterday's School good health bad has flipped.

I have an exam a day earlier than I thought, which is not good.

[Clintmax]

27. Uh, Oh.

Don't you hate it when that happens? You'd better start cramming then. Good luck with it, Mate.

[Random_Australian]

29. Meh, I can sit for hours concentrating without moving, and I have

a whole entire day to learn almost a course (for the exam the day after).

Learning Monday's one tonight. :)

[Clintmax]

34. It's good you can do that.

I hope it works out for you. But you usually do good on your exams don't you?

[Random_Australian]

37. Until now I have had few to compare to.

We shall see.

I just wish I was a bit smarter. (or more organised)

[Clintmax]

39. I think organization would be my problem too.

Don't forget to eat at some point too, my friend!

[Random_Australian]

40. I ate food early.

Entropy, Carnot engine cycle, equilibrium expression changing pressure and concentration gas solid phase diagram.

Now studying (and talking).

I'll show you matrix cryptography in a second if you're not careful! :);)

[Clintmax]

41. Look out...

your studies are bleeding into your posts, Man! :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

52. They are a bit, and I have just started an R/T flamewar. Oh shit.

mpy hppf !

[Clintmax]

55. mpe eju epi;d upi hp smf fp dp,ryjomh ;olr yjsy??

Silly boy! :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

58. You misspelled the third word, and the post has not become a flamewar.

[Clintmax]

60. Oh, OK...that's good!

LOL! I didn't misspell anything...did I?

[Random_Australian]

61. epi;d instead of epi;f . I edited to change 'war'and 'word' - war was what

I was thinking of at the time.

[Clintmax]

73. Ah ok.

LOL! It's about time for me to go get ready for work, Mister Man. I'll see you again on Monday AM!

[Random_Australian]

77. cya!

[MissHoneychurch]

18. Good morning Clint

this is where I will go this evening

http://www.palmengarten-frankfurt.de/englisch/englisch.htm

This is what I will see



and then at about 11pm there will be a firwork.

I am going with two friends of mine.

AND I am almost finished cleaning my apt.

Living room - check
Bedroom - check
Kitchen - check
Bathroom - check
Teasing Oedipus Rex - check
Washing clothes - on its way
grocery shopping - next on the list.

Aren't you proud of me? :)

[Clintmax]

20. Good Morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug:
WOW! Look at all the beautiful flowers! Thats gorgeous, my dear! YES, I'm proud of you! You're doing better than I am. I'm going to scour this place while I'm on vacation too, so hopefully ours will look as good as yours does! Sounds like you are going to have a fun weekend!

[MissHoneychurch]

21. I will take my camera with me

so I can take pictures of the roses.

[Clintmax]

28. I plan to take a lot of pictures too!

I want to see how my new camera does with close-up photos! Any suggestions of the best way to take those?

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Sorry, close-ups are something I still have to learn myself

most of my close-ups come out blurry and out of focus.


Off to grocery shoppping. See ya later :hi:

:loveya:

[Clintmax]

35. Have a good time shopping, my dear!

I'll see you on Monday and I can't wait to see those pictures! :bounce::loveya::hug::hi:

[AirmensMom]

46. Good morning, MissHC!

That's GORGEOUS! :bounce: :loveya:

I'm very proud of you. :hug: Pick up some stuff at the grocery store for me, if you please. :D

[sbj405]

42. Good Morning!

I plan on finishing up a few projects around the house. Tonight I'm going to a Solstice party which should be fun.

[Clintmax]

43. Good Morning, SBJ!

:hi:
It's good to see you today! :bounce: So...I may be being dense here, but, what's a solstice party? :rofl:

[sbj405]

45. Well, this particular one involves . . .

building cardboard wheels, lighting them on fire, and rolling them down a hill. But really I suppose it's just another excuse for a party. :-)

[Clintmax]

53. LOL! THAT sounds interesting!

How on earth did THAT come about?

[sbj405]

57. I think it does have some roots in pagan rituals

though none of us are pagan. Or maybe the host is a pyromaniac :-)

[Clintmax]

59. That was MY first thought!

"Somebody's a pyromaniac!" :rofl:
Sounds like it could be a fun time though!

[AirmensMom]

44. Good morning, Clintmax!

:donut: :hi: :hug:

Oh, boy! Vacation! Does Greekspeak have time off, too? :bounce: Are you still gonna come and say good morning to us, as long as you're home? :bounce: :woohoo:

I'm waiting for harleydad to wake up and then we're going for a motorcycle ride and to meet the kids for breakfast. It's only 59 degrees out, so I'll be bundling up! I was worried about finding my cold weather gear, but I had packed my gloves and balaclava right inside my cold-weather jacket, which was already hanging in the closet. How clever was that? I'll have to admit that I surprised myself. :rofl: I was SURE I'd have to go rummaging through boxes looking for them. :rofl:

Other than that, I guess I'm a dull girl. :cry: Still working hard trying to get things straightened out. When harleykid came over yesterday and saw the house, she said we weren't going to want to leave it ... it has improved SO much. :D We managed to get the garage cleaned out enough to fit the motorcycle and my car, with room to spare for the family room furniture (to save for harleykid) when the new stuff comes. Harleydad still has to put up "landing lights" for me and he got some plastic baseballs for that. :rofl:

Yesterday a dog got in the garage and peed on one of the boxes. Fortunately, it was empty. (Why do dogs and cats have to PEE on everything???!!! :grr:) Guess we'll have to keep it shut every minute that we're not out there. We still haven't caught that feral tomcat. Just another thing to do next week. :shrug:

[Clintmax]

49. Good Morning, Miss Airmens!

:hi::hug:
No, Greekspeak doesn't get the time off from school right now. So, we'll just do a few days trips while I'm on vacation. That's cool though because we can't stay away from the house very long since Tony barks a blue streak. So, yes, I'll be here every day posting the Crew thread! :bounce:

Brrr! 59 degrees? :scared: It's been 72 all night down here and going to be 94 during the day today! I'm glad your cold weather stuff was close to hand though so you don't have to go treasure hunting through boxes to find it.

I don't think you two will have a problem moving out when the time comes because you'll know that you have a brand new home waiting for you! I'm glad the place is looking great for you though! Who wants to live in a hovel anyway? :shrug::rofl:

I wish I had an answer for you about the animals urinating on everything. HATE THAT! x( All the gods know why, but we mere humans never will. :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

64. Oh, good!

:bounce: I mean ... too bad Greekspeak doesn't get time off, but good you'll still be here. :loveya:

It's 59 degrees NOW. It's supposed to get to 85 today. Reminds me of camp -- cold mornings and hot afternoons. Requires two outfits every day. :shrug:

I have to agree -- no problems leaving this house for the new one! A hovel would be fine, as long as it's a CLEAN hovel. :rofl:

Guess what? Harleydad is awake and ready to go. I just called harleykid and we're all leaving now (they're on the other side of where we're going).

Have a great day! I hope it goes by fast for you so you can start your vacation! :loveya: :hug: :hi:

[Clintmax]

71. Well I hope you have a great day today, my dear!

I'll see you on Monday morning! :loveya::hug::hi:

[Neoma]

47. Morning.

I'm back on a early schedule! :)

[Clintmax]

50. Good Morning, Miss Neoma!

:hi:
YAY! That feels good doesn't it! :bounce:

[Mutley]

48. Clint!

Good to see you, my friend.

:hug:

[Clintmax]

51. Good Morning, Miss Mutley!

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you too, my dear! How's life treating you?

[Mutley]

54. Pretty well, pretty well.

Can't complain — wouldn't do any good if I did. :D

How about you?

[Clintmax]

56. Doing just fine, thank you!

I'm all excited about my vacation, so even better now! :bounce:

[Minnesota Libra]

62. Good Saturday morning to everyone...................

...hope you all have a great weekend planned.

I'm going to stay close to shelter all weekend because we're supposed to get showers off and on these next two days. Oh well, I can still go shopping!! :applause:

You know, I've often wondered about this one as well. "Wonder why that tricky fellow, the intelligent designer, decides to design a new flu virus every year that is immune to all existing vaccines. Does he not like us?" Really makes a person wonder just what that Higher Power thinks of all of us.:hide:

Be good to each other and see ya all Monday. :grouphug:

[Clintmax]

66. Good Morning, Minnesota!

:hi:
I hope you have a great weekend, my friend...whatever you decide to do!

[In_The_Wind]

63. Alright! I'm up!

How could I forget you and the Morning Crew?

[Clintmax]

67. Good Morning, Miss Joan!

:hi::hug:
You didn't forget about us! And we CERTIANLY won't ever forget you! :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

70. I do declare ~ You say the sweetest things. That's what I love about

Southern Gentleman
no matter where they were born ... ship 'em south of the Mason-Dixon line and

[Clintmax]

72. That's sweet of YOU to say!

HUGS to you, my dear! :hug::hug:

[In_The_Wind]

75. I'm going back to my roots someday!

I need to be living in the South again.
Did you know ~ snow is cold ~ I firmly believe that my overnight low temperatures should never never never hit 0°F!

[jpgray]

65. Time for sleep

What a weird night this has been. Going to sleep in this thread is better than going to sleep in one's vomit, though.

[Random_Australian]

68. I'm off to bed soon too!

:D Aint timezones something?

[Clintmax]

69. Good Morning/Night, JP!

Who wants to go to sleep in their own vomit? YUCK! :vomit: Sweet dreams!

[Clintmax]

74. Time to go have breakfast and get ready for work, my crew!

Last shift before my vacation starts! :bounce::woohoo: I hope you have a great weekend! Take care of each other and I'll see you again on Monday morning! :bounce::grouphug:

[riona]

76. Fl check-in

Good morning. We got some more rain last night. The ground is soaking it up like a sponge. Gabby has more energy this morning - spilled her water dish skidding through the kitchen. She's still congested though. Got some nice (from Georgia, I think) peaches at the fruit stand. Yum.

[newyawker99]

78. Good morning everyone!

:donut:
