Good Morning!

WOW! Has it REALLY been THAT long since I've been on the PORCH? :eek:

HOLY COW.....*hangs his head in shame, tsk, tsk* Sorry for my absence, if it's not ONE thing, it's another :roll:

From pulling 32 hours a month now of reserve duty with the PD, to business being REALLY good, to searches, to catching kids with matches trying to burn the mountain down, to the "WIND!" :grr:

I don't know what day it is, what time it is, who's who, what's what :lol:

ANYWAYS.......what a SAD turn of events yesterday with the beheading of the American civilian, makes me SICK to my stomach, hope the HADES we catch the S.O.B's that are responsible for this horiffic act of terrorism :grr:

I won't say what I feel we should do to the scumbags once we catch them, this is, after all, a FAMILY site!

Furry, glad to hear the fires are out and a VERY BELATED Happy Anniversary!

Geeesh, I have SO many posts to catch up on.....I *might* have time today, the WIND is HOWLING once again, driving the fire danger into the EXTREME catagory. We are WORSE off now than we were 2 years ago during the Rodeo Chediski Fire, the Haines Index is at a "2".....which translates into the moisture in the fine fuels is ALMOST non existent :cry:

It is SOOOOO dry up here and we're at LEAST 2 months away from ANY moisture, God help us!

That's ENOUGH doom and gloom for one day "LOL!" Take care my friends, I'll "try" to stop by more often......OH, BTW, if you see patio furniture blowing by your house, it's MINE :lol:

This is the second set of patio furniture I've lost this spring thanks to the WIND :roll:

I'm not very welcome in the Off Topic room, so I'm not sure if you want me in here, either. I am so tired of being put down because my views don't agree with the majority. Anyway, I do like talking to the people who can handle an opposing viewpoint nicely.

What? Sunnyday - I for one, welcome opinions that are not of the norm here! Do like I do - avoid politically driven topics. Then you'll do fine. But if you want to post an opposing viewpoint, you should be able to do so. That is my opinion of what this board is all about. I know it doesn't seem that way at times, there is a majority here that seem to view issues the same way, but in theory, all Storm2K members ~should~ be able to voice their opinions. If they're done so with respect to others. Which you always do anyway. In a wordy way, I'm trying to say I enjoy your posts and to please stick around!

Of COURSE your welcome here on the Front Porch Sunnyday, just be NICE and we won't make you wear the "I don't play well with others" t-shirt "LOL!" JUST KIDDING :lol:

HEY....we all have different views, if we didn't, what a BORING world this would be!

DANG....2 days in a ROW on the front porch, must be a record of sorts 8-)

BRRRRRR! I thought it was SPRING, nearing SUMMER, not FALL, entering into WINTER :eek:

It's FLIPPIN' CCcccccold! I've got the TRUE Pot Belly Stove CRANKIN' this morning, it's now 24 :eek:

Needless to say, all the frost sensitive plants are GONE, FRIED, FROZEN, like Green Giant peas :cry:

AH WELL, it's GOOD for the local nursery business :lol:

Not much else going on, think I'll go back inside and sit by the FIRE "Bbbbbrrrrrrrrrr!" No THANKS, I'll pass on the lemonade this morning 8-)

Congrats to Garrett and Joshua on your new jobs and to Jeremy on your upcoming graduation!!!

Wild weather huh?! Dennis is freezing in AZ and Shannon is sunning herself in the next state. Pretty nice out here on the porch. I think I'll do a "Furry" and catch a few rays with a good book. :wink:

furluvcats · #110 Postby **furluvcats** » Thu May 13, 2004 5:30 pm

Well, we are off til Saturday in Vegas....we're going to meet up with Brian's sister from South Carolina. Since we didn't make it to his brother's funeral, and the brother lived with this sister, we thought we'd best visit with her while we're in the same time zone! So, we'll be leaving in a few hours, whhen Brian gets home from work. Take care everyone and I'll talk to ya when we get back!

*Throwing Dennis and Michelle a cozy down blankey to keep them warm and toasty! :O)

on the news tonight of interest to wildland fire fighters. Four 747's are being outfitted as tanker aircraft for slurry drops. The aircraft obviously can't fly as low as the grounded "heavys" but they can drop 24000 gallons of retardent from 400 ft along a five mile long swath. The aircraft are being outfitted at the Pinal AirPark west of Tucson. A Mesa Company is outfitting 20 aircraft as mid size slurry tankers for the California Division of Forestry.

Morning everyone.

Would you like some chocolate cake sunnyday?? Stick around and ride the waves here.

Thanks Donna for the congrats in here. I am still thrilled beyond belief. When I sign that contract I may go nuts!!!

Well, I have a busy day ahead of me. We are still remodeling and need to run to Home Depot and get some stuff. The fun never ends... let me tell you!

EVERYONE have a great day! :multi:

Hi everyone! :O)

We're back from Vegas....had a great time...Vegas is incredible...It was hot in the desert though! I'm already ready to head back :O), though I promised hubby we'd take at least a week off from travels...Anyway, have a great rest of the weekend everyone! Ciao!

Glad that you had a good time in Vegas, Furry.

Hi everyone, hope that you had a good time this weekend. I only had one day off so it was not as good as it could have been, but oh well, it happens.

Weather here sucks, I can't wait for another heat wave.

furluvcats · #115 Postby **furluvcats** » Mon May 17, 2004 11:22 pm

LOl Josh....I am enjoying these cooler temps! Time for another trip to Disney....no sweating involved!

#116 Postby **wx247** » Tue May 18, 2004 11:07 am

It is sticky this morning on the front porch. I am enjoying my time without much to do these last couple of days. I am working some on the house, but I am only the "assistant". In other words, I do the meaningless and dirty work. :lol:

#117 Postby **Aslkahuna** » Tue May 18, 2004 9:46 pm

temperatures of around 100F are just barely in the hot category for the Desert. For a real experience, try Vegas and the Desert in late June and July when you will get the kind of heat people have no clue what it's like until they experience it-I'm talking of course of 115-120F.

:grrr:

I once had a friend from Colorado who monitored the heat here in the desert just so he could make a trip down here to experience 90-degree MINIMUM temperatures overnight. Lucky for him, he actually did!

furluvcats · #119 Postby **furluvcats** » Wed May 19, 2004 12:02 pm

I'll be flying in and out of Vegas June 10th and June 29th....I guess on my return flight I should get to experience that true desert heat???

StormCrazyIowan · #120 Postby **StormCrazyIowan** » Thu May 20, 2004 1:48 pm

Too warm for me!! I'm a fainter!

Anywho, hi y'all! Just sitting here at the public library waiting for the weather to go haywire so I can chase chase chase!

Hope everything is going well for everyone!
