Chit Chat Thread for the week of June 30th 2008

I am not sure why GARMIN had to sign with that other crew when GARMIN could have signed with the POI Factory.

As previously seen Sparky had a slight accident.
Well he was taken to the local hospital and checked out. I filmed him getting his x-ray. It indicated a broken leg.

Short work week

Friday, July 4th, Earth reaches aphelion, that should cause some fireworks.... Happy birthday to the USA....

and if you live in California, NO FIREWORKS!! The smoke is terrible, over 1000 fires going on right now. God watch over the firefighters in the air and on the ground!!

The Green Bay Packers are going to win the NFC North Division.........

ARE YOU NUTS?

Of course not...............

football season is really gonna be fun this year.

Ahh- the old keeping the Windmill alive trick.

Happy Fourth of July to all and if you are traveling becarful. enjoy

nothing exciting for me this year. Hanging around the house.

GO Browns

That should cover it.....

Will miss #4 coming out of the tunnel thats for sure....

Bob: Given the thread here I assume you are implying that the changes will be drastic enough that we had better get our hands on the latest map updates to keep up with things.

Hope, everyone has a safe and enjoyable 4th of July

I'm with you Tim,

GO BROWNS!

Leg??????? What leg(s)?

Jon and Maryann take some time off and enjoy the long weekend.
We all will behave. If you are driving this weekend, drive safe.

Not my lucky day today

I made 13 deliveries. After I received a tip for $6.66 things slid downhill fast. I was attacked by a pit bull. I escaped unscathed by fending off growling teeth with package that I hope was insured, because it's shredded. At least it wasn't my arm!

I also locked my keys in the car...

and ran over a black cat on the way home...

Today's winning lotto numbers will be.. never-mind.

I'll probably go the strip Friday & watch the tourist(they are quite funny) otherwise than than that, sit by the pool (suppose to be 106 - 109 degrees) this weekend.

Everyone have a safe fourth of july weekend.

OMG there are some Browns people out there!!!...GO BROWNS!!!..LOL

Just spent a month in California and the last count I heard there were 1500 fires burning. We took off from Saramento airport and looking down from about 2000 feet, all you could see was a blanket of brown smoke everywhere. Couldn't see the ground.
By the way, top Delta Airlines speed on my Garmin 780 returning to Florida was 568 mph!

Like many others above, I too am anxiously awaiting the start of the football season. What is most interesting to me is that each year one of the teams in the very bottom of the NFL pile defies all of the predictions by the NFL prognosticators and rises to the top... If it happens again this year, I wonder which team it will be? Bottom-up predictions anyone?

Check your rearview mirror and I will bet that it got broken when you ran over that cat.

Hope you had some salt to throw over your shoulder.

Wow
Fires & Smoke, Mud Slides, High Temperature's, Floods, Tornado's, Hurricanes, Droughts.

What in the world did you all do to the Man to Pis_ him off so bad? Why not come to beautiful Cleveland Ohio where none of that stuff ever happens, Plus we have one of the worlds largest fresh water supply. And you can waste all you want.

Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland said that the idea below was a staple in his campaign speeches in 2006.

Strickland has joined five other states in ratifying an agreement aimed at protecting the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes Compact is a framework between eight states and two Canadian provinces that seeks to prevent most diversions of water from the Great lakes' basin to arid states in the South and Southwest. "We will have the ability to maintain our precious natural resources and preserve and protect Lake Erie for generations to come"

Keep the Fresh water where it belongs. If you want it, move north to it! if you can't stand leaving the sun belt then just go to your local convenient store an buy it but the gallon, it's cheaper than Gasoline. and oh enjoy the sun!

Happy Brithday, and many more.

The Fourth falls on Friday, and I have no idea what to fix.

Anyone know any good Fourth of July recipes?

How are they gonna do that without #4 ?????

Going over last year's vacation photos, I found this one that I just had to get on my profile.

For the curious, it was posted about here lat="48.62352" lon="-1.58228" near Mont St-Michel, France, a couple of hundred meters from the sea wall that marked the end of the lowland.

everyone have a happy and safe 4th of july weekend.

Go traditional - hamburgs, hot dogs and homemade ice cream.

Don't want you crashing the forum :)

Regards, Ted

I'm normally very lucky. Yesterday must have been the universe readjusting the balance. But I won't be taking anymore 6.66 tips, just in case.

And in Australia - Queensland are going to win the State of Origin - playing as I write just now - half time and the cockroaches (that is New South Wales) are ahead 10 to 8 Grrrrrr. For those from the US of A - State of Origin is one of the REAL football codes where players actually get into VERY physical play for 80 minutes no breaks except a short half time and which is - person per person - a far bigger event than anything in the USA (including any game and the political stuff) - Google "Rugby League"!

Rugby League players do not wear padding or helmets....

After the game - Queensland won 16 - 10 and took the series 2 - 1 for the third year in a row. Now that is a game!

On a recent flight from Darwin to Brisbane (Australia - not Austria) the ground speed was over 1000kph - someone can convert that to mph. (Qantas 767)

I think Rodgers will be fine....

Just read this Walmart is changing their logo.

TB Rays - 2 (the team with the best record in baseball)
Red Sox - 0

Going for the sweep!

How About that? They're 2-1/2 games ahead of Boston, 7-1/2 ahead of the Yankees, and the closest team is the Chicago Cubs. You've got to wonder how Pinella feels about his old team doing even better than his Cubbies. I hope they can keep up the tremendous play for the rest of the season.

GO Ravens!!

Where is the hump day in a four-day week? I guess I should just be happy that today is really the penultimate day of the week.
