10496. judithathome - 7/22/2004 11:16:21 AM Arky, we'll be comig in a rental car. Keoni is getting one while they fix his truck at the body shop and we decided to use the rental for the trip so I can drop my car off to have the fuel pump changed out over that weekend.
I think it would make it up there and back but the way our luck has been running with cars lately, why chance it? 10497. Magoseph - 7/22/2004 8:25:43 PM Hi, Max, it's about time you show up and say hello to your friends here! Do you have some new paintings to show us?
Hello, Mac. 10498. Macnas - 7/22/2004 9:30:20 PM Hello Mago.
Clear blue sky, 20 deg.C, all is well. 10499. alistairconnor - 7/22/2004 9:36:05 PM Lucky beggar. 34° and thunderstorms over here. 10500. Macnas - 7/22/2004 9:44:01 PM And are you still bicycling around? 10501. alistairconnor - 7/22/2004 9:51:18 PM Oh no, finished that last Saturday. Just rotting in a training course this week.
Taking the girls for a cycling trip this weekend. Gentle stuff, the younger one only just learned to ride.
Here : La Voie Verte, former railway line and canal towpath, a couple of hours drive north of us in southern Burgundy. 10502. alistairconnor - 7/22/2004 9:55:22 PM Actually the Tour de France is, right now, crossing paths with where we were riding yesterday : Jex and Mijoux, in the southern Jura.
I am gratified to see that the Col de la Faucille, which they are currently climbing, is a Category 2 hill. I "won" that particular stage by a fairly wide margin last week. I raised my arms in triumph on the line, but there was no crowd of screaming or spitting fans. 10503. Magoseph - 7/22/2004 10:59:38 PM Ali, replace your camera's batteries this time. Don't forget.
Mac, we have the same weather as you have today. Right now, it's still cool and crisp outside. Luckily there are no mosquitos right now. I'm going to walk to town, one mile to and from won't kill me, a cinch. 10504. Macnas - 7/22/2004 11:09:18 PM You're lucky you didn't fall off! I hope you are not giving such a poor example to your daughters....
You know, you might be interested in this, something to think about maybe.
10505. Macnas - 7/22/2004 11:11:57 PM Mago, I might complain about a lot of things in Ireland, but the lack of mosquitos is not one of them. 10506. alistairconnor - 7/22/2004 11:53:48 PM let's see... St Patrick put them all in a sack and threw them into the sea?
Yes, I would like to do Ireland. Not sure the hills are steep enough for our crew but...
... more likely it would be too expensive for the likes of us.
I'm going to propose Normandy for next year, if I can work out the logistics. But heck. With a cheap flight... I might ask these people for a quote, after all. 10507. Macnas - 7/23/2004 12:07:29 AM Well, I was thinking more in line of the family, when the girls are a bit older, as opposed to the hardened cyclists you gad about with. 10508. iiibbb - 7/23/2004 5:32:51 AM you want? 10509. Ulgine Barrows - 7/23/2004 2:46:44 PM ''When life gives you a smoking ban, make a Nicotini''
goes a favorite quote from Ft. Lauderdale's Larry Wald. Persecuted puffers flock to Wald's bar, Cathode Ray, to order up the Black Lung. The drink mixes a mystery concoction of nicotine-infused vodka with a darkening Kahlua shot.
I was never a quitter! 10510. judithathome - 7/24/2004 3:29:11 AM Our electricity went out at noon yesterday while I was at the gym. Came home to no digital clocks,no air conditioning, no computer and no TV. Half the afternoon I read a book, then I went shopping as it started to get warmer in the house. Came home and went to dinner with my neighbors and Keoni met us at the restaurant on his way home from work.
We all get home and our electricity is STILL out. So we changed into cool clothes and went down to our neighbor's house (the dinner companions of earlier) and lolled around in their pool til the electricity finally came back on...after 11pm.
Their backyard looks like a manicured, exotic jungle. He has banana tress all over the place and blooming plumeria...it smells just like Hawaii. His pool is tiled in dark blue and it was simply wonderful out there. Plus the wife had baked an apple pie earlier in the day before the outage and we ate that with melting ice cream. Had to do our part to help them with the ice cream; couldn't let it go to waste! 10511. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 7/24/2004 4:43:19 AM My barn burned down , , , and now I can see the moon! 10512. Max Macks - 7/24/2004 4:46:02 AM Sounds like you have some pretty nice neighbors
JAH,
CAme back to the Mote because I knew that wabbit
and alaistair
had posts relating to the Tour d France.
this year I learned from them that
the Tour has a different route each year...
different cities in France want the race
to go by them.
So I also learned that it aint just one
long contiguous stretch of road. 10513. Max Macks - 7/24/2004 4:48:09 AM It seems to me that when I was here before
there
was a way one could set something so that
the most recent posts here were at the top
Do you people have to scroll thru the posts
to find the most recent near the bottom? 10514. arkymalarky - 7/24/2004 5:25:40 AM You can set your preferences to bookmark threads, Max.
Judith,
Sounds like y'all made the best of a power outage. 10515. Max Macks - 7/24/2004 5:50:58 AM ok I re set the time hope what I see
when I post this will be Calif. time.
But arky...do you see the most recent post
at the bottom or the top??
and is there a way to change the sequence?
