Guys (and gals), I have been away from the board way too long. Think I've only made it here to even just read a couple times for the past I don't know how long... ..feel the need to apologize for that (sorry) and let y'uns know we're ok. Nothin' "wrong", just caught up in all of life's other distractions. Typical excuses... busy, work, etc... so won't bother with that. Hadn't paid attention to the fact that I didn't take much time off this year. End of year was coming fast and discovered I still had 2 weeks vacation time and was only allowed to carry over 1 into 2009... so had to take one in a hurry before yearend or was gonna lose it. Seat time has been few and far between this year. Kama has set for 6 & 8 weeks at a time without being started. On the upside, EVERY time I hit the key she fired right off. ;D One of those times I discovered a radiator leak but haven't even gotten back to it to pinpoint it yet. Now, cold weather's here... guess I'll get to it when weather breaks. Once I figure out what & where it is, I'll post that in the Kama section I guess. Anyway... guess we need to "smell the roses" once in a while... while they're still around and while we still can.

Welcome back Jake! I for one sure missed your sarcastic humor. We could use some of that around here. Most of the guys are old geezers (like Brad) and don't have enough energy to hit the smiley buttons anymore, let alone get out to start the tractor ;D What did ya do for your vacation, anything special?

Hi Jake and welcome back to the "real world" HaHaHa weren't you worried about getting laid off or was that just getting laid? or something like that? Brad, The remote sending unit belongs outside on the porch, not in the freezer where you have it now I've got the wood stove going, it's 82* in the house . Funny how 82 feels real good right now. But in the summer 82 feels miserable , why is that? Larry

... weren't you worried about getting laid off ... This time of year... every year... for the past 6 years runnin'. This year's no different... it's comin' again. ... it's gettin' old. Company is still "cutting costs", etc... guess we have to... considering we're paying the last ceo, the one that got FIRED, $82K a month. ..but... don't get me started.

Brad, The remote sending unit belongs outside on the porch, not in the freezer where you have it now Larry Hey, it reminded me of old times. Every year on my birthday my mom calls and reminisces about how cold it was when I was born. Store windows in Green Bay were cracking and The Lake (Michigan) froze all the way across. This year my brother told me about this story: www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20090102/GPG0101/901020607Right now it's 32.4 and we are getting the first snowfall of the year. 1/2" so far - if there's enough to sled tomorrow I'm taking time off. It only snowed once last year. Jake, you're supposed to get more snow than me - How's it going down there? Is your computer weather station still ticking? Let's hope jobs hold out. I hear you about the rock star salaries and golden parachutes. Gloria Pace King is charging discrimination Brad
