Good Saturday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

:hi::donut:
Welcome to the Saturday edition of the Early Morning Crew thread! :bounce: We made it to the weekened! I hope your week was a good one and you have a fun two days off planned because, you know, we all need that once in a while!

I had a couple things come up yesterday morning and wasn't able to go get my new camera, but I'm going as soon as I get off work this afternoon! Of course I'm off on Sunday, and I'm going to use that day as a picture taking day, so Monday morning I will have lots of photos to show you from around Tallahassee! :woohoo:

So let's get this weekend started, shall we! We're going to have a lot of fun! :bounce:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

2. Good morning, Clintmax!

First!

[Clintmax]

5. Good Morning, Starbucks!

:hi:
Yep! You're first today! :woohoo: Any big weekend plans, Man?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

15. I'm cleaning and packing some of my stuff.

I also need to post some ads on Craigslist for my TV and other things.

Oh, I remember you had some problems with putting movies on your video iPod. I saw this ad in Rolling Stone today, so I figure it's at least halfway legit. You might want to check it out:

http://www.nullriver.com/index/products/moviepod.win

[Clintmax]

23. Packing, huh?

Getting ready for your trip! :bounce: I actually found a program that specifically makes video iPod ready! But, I'll check out the moviepod link! Thanks man!

[Clintmax]

Well, hell...

That software only costs $10.00! I paid $30 for Cucusofts software. x(

[Starbucks Anarchist]

40. Ouch!

[Clintmax]

44. That's my luck though.

Happens to me all the time! The camera I want is on sale $249...and after I get it, I'll find it somewhere for $99 or something. :rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

51. I had a similar situation recently.

I won $60 in the lottery and used that plus an additional $40 to buy some... "grass." :smoke:

The guy I always got it from, who's always been reliable, has been unreachable via phone for the past week, so I'm basically out $100.

[Clintmax]

54. Well damn!

NOBODY likes to lose money like that. x(

[Starbucks Anarchist]

73. And not like I can call the cops on him.

Actually, the last time he and I talked, he said he'd call me back because he was talking to the cops at the time, ironically. I never got a hold of him again and don't know if he ended up in jail or worse.

:shrug:

[billyskank]

3. Morning Clint

:hi: I most certainly don't have my beer goggles on. I threw them away a few years ago! ;)

[Clintmax]

6. LOL! Good Morning, Billy!

:hi::rofl:
I'm not sure the song refers to YOU exactly, but I'm glad you threw yours away long ago!

[billyskank]

10. Funnily enough

I had a beer in my dream this morning though. :)

[Clintmax]

16. Hmmm...I can't think of even ONE booze dream I've had.

I dream about my store all the time among other things, but never booze. :rofl:

[billyskank]

22. Not sure if it can be called a booze dream

in fact, I can't really remember what it was about. All I remember is that it did involve drinking a pint of beer.

You dream about work?? :P ;)

[Clintmax]

24. Yes, all the freaking time.

I dreamed that a big 777 airliner crashed into my store and I could only save one person. I was outside smoking a cigarette and saw it coming down and realized it was going to crash! That was probably the worst one I've had.

[billyskank]

81. Jesus

:scared:

[AirmensMom]

56. Good morning, billy!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: You're a step ahead of me -- I never had any beer goggles. I'd probably buy the wrong thing if I went to the store to get some. :rofl:

[billyskank]

79. Hi AirmensMom!

:hug: :loveya: :hi:

[Mutley]

78. Mornin' billy.

:hug:

[billyskank]

80. Morning' mutley!!

:hug: :loveya:

[Neoma]

4. Good morning.

[Clintmax]

7. Good Morning, Miss Neoma!

:hi:
It's a pleasure to see you this morning!

[NMMNG]

8. Good morning Clint!

I have lots of fun planned. I'm going to take a second run at cleaning the oven, because my first attack on it only got rid of about 2/3 of the crud. I'm going to spray it before going to sleep and let it sit for a good while so hopefully it will work this time.

Then I've got some other stuff to do around the house. Yesterday I did the oven and re-hung the bathroom door after putting a fresh coast of paint on the door frame. So much to do, so much to do. :P

[Clintmax]

11. Good Morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug:
WOW! Fun, fun, fun! Especially the oven thing. When ours need cleaning out, the "self cleaning" feature works like magic, so we don't have to do any scrubbing or anything! :bounce:

[NMMNG]

17. I don't have one of those fancy self-cleaning ovens

I have to crawl in and clean it. It's not so bad though--how often does an oven need cleaning? I'm just waiting for the self-cleaning bathroom. :rofl:

[Clintmax]

26. Well hells yes!

A self-cleaning bathroom! THAT would be awesome! :bounce: I want one too! :rofl:

[billyskank]

12. Holy cow Buffy your life sounds even more exciting than mine!

:hi:

[NMMNG]

19. Yeah, excitement is my middle name

Go to work, go home and work, go to work, go home and work.....

All work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlvAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girlAll work and no play makes Buffy a dull girl

[billyskank]

21. But we're okay with it

:cry:

;)

:hug:

[NMMNG]

91. That's a relief

:hug:

[Robeson]

9. Hey Clint!....

...bummer on not being able to get the camera. But, with being off tomorrow, you'll have lots a time to spend on checking it out!

[Clintmax]

13. Good Morning, Robeson!

:hi:
Yeah, but stuff happens sometimes you know. You're right! I'll have lots of time to check it out! Any big plans for you this weekend?

[Robeson]

20. No, not really.....

...my back is having one of its periodic spells of giving out on me, so I think I'll just take it easy.

[Clintmax]

28. Hey, that's a good weekend too.

I'm sorry you're having trouble with your back. Yes, take it easy and have a relaxing couple of days. :hug:

[Cannikin]

14. I cant sleep. Is it too early for coffee?

[Clintmax]

18. Good Morning, Cannikin!

:hi::hug:
I'm sorry you can't sleep, Dude. It's ALWAYS time for coffee in MY book. So, have a cup with me! I'm pouring a fresh one right now! :donut:

[Cannikin]

25. Sounds great! I'm brewing as we speak.

[Clintmax]

27. Cool!

So what are YOU going to do this weekend?

[Cannikin]

32. I'm really not sure yet. No definate plans. May catch a movie.

How about you? Do you have to work today?

[Clintmax]

34. Yeah, gotta be there today...

but I'm off tomorrow, so I get at least one of the days off! Plus, I start another vacation a week from today! :bounce: I can't wait for THAT, let me tell ya!

[Cannikin]

35. I bet! I'd love a vacation. Got any big plans?

[Clintmax]

36. Well, I MAY just hang out at home and do absolutely nothing!

But, then again, I think I want to go to Orlando and check out the new roller coasters at Universal Studios Theme park! :bounce:

[Cannikin]

46. Ugh. I saw all of those coasters on Ellen when she was hosting from there.

You'll NEVER get me on one of those! hehe

Staying home is my favorite kind of vacation.

[Clintmax]

47. No coasters??

How come, Man? They are freakin awesome! :bounce:

[Cannikin]

49. Ya know, I'll fly a plane at 4,000 feet, but no roller coasters!

I'm a total baby when it comes to getting on one.

[Clintmax]

53. Greekspeak is the same way.

I have to go on them by myself. That's OK though. Did you have a bad experience on one or something?

[Cannikin]

57. No. They just scare the hell out of me.

My S.O. loves them too. At least if we ever go together, you can ride them with TJ (my TJ) and I'll hold down the sidewalk with Greekspeak. hehe

[Clintmax]

60. LOL! That's a deal!

What's funny is that I get sick on the rides that take one in a big circle, but I can ride roller coasters all day with no trouble.

[sbj405]

29. Morning, Clint.

I'm up early organizing my trip photos. What type of camera are you getting? My bf just got a Nikon D50. I would have liked to have that on my vacation. :-)

[Clintmax]

31. Good Morning, SBJ!

:hi:
I'm getting a Canon A620! It's a 7.1 MP! I can't wait to get my hands on it too! :bounce:
http://www.digit.no/photoalbum/view/?size=medium&id=46303

[sbj405]

39. Looks like fun. Enjoy and be sure to post some photos.

[Clintmax]

42. Oh, I'm going to post a LOT of them!

So, you'll get to see a bunch!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

30. Good morning!

I've been up early today working with my foster dog, Lucky. Two days ago, he didn't listen at all, but now I have him sitting and laying down on command. I'm falling in love with him. He's such a sweet heart.

[Clintmax]

33. Good Morning, Haruka!

:hi:
Sounds like you are pretty good with dogs! What kind is he?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

38. He's a pitbull.

Actually, I'm one of those people that's awesome with all animals. I pretty much have no fear with dogs though, so it's real easy for me to become the alpha.

It's a sad story actually. Apparently, his owners were evicted and they left him chained up in the backyard with no food, water, or shelter. He has cuts on him from barbed wire that was in the yard. Neighborhood kids were hopping the fence, feeding and playing with him. They told their teacher about the dog they would visit after school. So she got the story and checked it out. With the help of a neighbor, she was able to get him out of the yard. I heard about his story the day of his rescue and I got him the next day. So basically, 4-5 days ago, he was chained up in a yard (it was about a week he was out there). This was also in an area that has a major dog fighting problem, so it's amazing that a dog this nice didn't end up as bait for fighting pits.

He's such a sweet dog. He seriously loves all people. I guess he knows that he's in a safe place now. He's actually scared of my cats and he shows no interest in other dogs at all. No food aggression either. It's just disgusting how someone could abandon such a nice dog. He's a little less than a year old. A light tan brindle with a white stripe up his nose and white toes.

[Clintmax]

43. Awww...the poor thing!

I don't understand how people can DO that to a dog either! I swear, some people need to be kicked in the jimmy! x( I'm glad you got him and he has a good home now! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

37. Good morning Clint

I just got back from groceries shopping. This afternoon I am invited over to coffe and I will provide the cake. This evening my friend and I will go dancing. Tomorrow we want to watch another soccer game at the river.
Yesterday evening was crazy. The news says there were up to 50.000 people there :wow: And we were two of them. It was a good game and we had fun.

So my weekend is full and I have to get to bake the cake now.

[Clintmax]

41. Good Morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug:
Yes, you DO have a full weekend! :bounce: I'm glad it's going to be a fun one for you! You deserve it! How's Mister M doing?

[MissHoneychurch]

48. The weather is really nice these days

and we try to spend some time outside and enjoy the sun.

M. is doing good. Last night I saw that he was online, but idle so I didn't chat with him. But this morning when I turned on my PC I saw that he sent me a message. STRIKE!!! LOL

[Clintmax]

52. Missed him, huh?

I'm sorry. I hope it is going to be nice and sunny out there for you ALL weekend long! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

62. Not really missed him

I just didn't write him. I wanted to see if he writes me. Beside he is not really complaining but wondering why I am always online. I justed wanted to make a point :)

[Clintmax]

64. Oh, I see.

Well...I guess you got your point across! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

71. Sure did

I think I would have been upset this morning otherwise. It proves me that he was hoping I would come online. Good.

[AirmensMom]

58. Good morning, MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

You sure are a busy gal! I'm glad you had fun last night ... 50,000 people! :wow:

Push some o' that cake over here through the modem if you would, please. :9

[MissHoneychurch]

69. I am baking a cheese cake

and it smells good already :D

[Minnesota Libra]

45. Good Saturday morning to all, hope.................

.....everyone has an enjoyable day planned.

BTW, the last time I looked at the calendar it was supposed to be summer, right?? Wrong!! Not around here anyway!! It was rainy and cool yesterday and last night it dipped to almost freezing here in the north country. I think the weather people are saying we should get up around 70 to 75 degrees today. :rofl:

That picnic, thank goodness, can be held outside or inside. We planned ahead for both possibilities O8) so that is still on for today.

A big :hi: DU welcome :hi: to all the newbies. I think we've gotten about 30 new people just in the last day or so. Welcome!!:hug:

Have a great time everyone.:grouphug:

[Clintmax]

50. Good Morning, Minnesota!

:hi:
As hot as it's been here in Florida, I can't imagine there's anyplace that's still getting that cold! I'm sorry it won't warm up for you up there. Have a great weekend! :hug:

[AirmensMom]

55. Good morning, Clintmax!

:donut: :hi: :hug:

I hope those couple things stay down so you can get your new camera today. :bounce: Can't wait for the photos!

We have the same old thing planned for the weekend. Harleykid came over last night and helped me set up the office/guest room while harleydad worked on the master bedroom. We might sleep in a bed tonight! :bounce: Oh, and the neighbors came over and mowed the lawn for us. They're charging WAY less than the landlord wanted and did a better job.:shrug: They own the horses out back and said they like to go for long rides and would like to have me go with them. :woohoo:

Satchmo and Sophie got their first outdoor walk on the patio last night, on their leashes. They loved it! Satchmo thought the fireflies were great! Now it'll be hard to keep them in.

[Clintmax]

59. Good Morning, Miss Airmens!

:hi::hug::loveya:
I'm SO happy to see you this morning! :loveya: Sounds like you got some things done yesterday! I wish I could come riding with you too. I love to ride horses! Maybe when we can come up there for a visit, we can go once together, you and I! :bounce: I'm glad you'll actually get to sleep on a BED tonight. That's gotta feel good!

[AirmensMom]

61. I'm happy to see you, too!

:loveya: We did get some things done yesterday, but it's slow going. Oh, and I broke the rocking chair. :rofl: It's an old wooden one that sits on the porch and goes with the house and the wood is rotten. I rocked back and the rocker broke ... stuck me in a lying down position and the guys came over and pulled me up. :rofl: Damn! There goes my security deposit -- ya think? :shrug:

I wish you could come riding with me, too! :bounce: I'm a little afraid of horses, but everyone here is telling me they're just like big dogs. Once I'm on them, I'm not afraid -- it's just the other stuff because I don't understand horse body language yet.

Well, MAYBE I'll get to sleep in a bed tonight. It just occurred to me that I have no idea where the bed linens are. :rofl: But we're just about ready to bring in the boxes from the garage, so there's hope. :D

Don't forget to plug your camera's battery in as soon as you get it home, even before you read the directions. Then it'll be ready to go when you are. (You have a song of the day, there's your tip of the day. :D)

[Clintmax]

63. You destructive little thing!

:rofl:
No, I don't think you'll lose your deposit because of that. And if they say anything about that...you can always mention suing for being hurt by their defective chair! :rofl:

Once you get on a horse, you can feel them tense and relax. I'll never forget once, on a horse, I felt him tense up in preparation to run...I thought; "Well, OK...we can run for a while..." and let him go...HOLY GODS! We must have been going at warp speed! :rofl: It was fun!

Yes, you'll need to find the bed linens..who wants to sleep on a bare mattress? :shrug:

I certainly will plug it in as soon as I get it home! Good tip! :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

66. Well, I DID eat pizza for lunch!

See how fast I put on weight? :rofl:

It is fun to ride -- I'll have to pay more attention to the horse relaxing his tension. Once, I ran fast like that and the man I was riding with had forgotten to tighten the saddle and shorten the stirrups. So I was hanging onto the horse's neck for dear life and trying to get the guy's attention while my feet were flying all over and I was bouncing up and down. :rofl: He was on the lead horse and my horse wouldn't obey ANY of my commands as long as the other one was running. I'll never forget that! :rofl:

HAHAHA! :rofl: We've been sleeping on a bare air mattress for a week now ... too much trouble to put sheets on it at the end of the day (we have to collapse it every day). When you're that tired, you just don't care. :shrug:

Harleydad is up so it's time for us to get breakfast and get our tails in gear. It certainly was nice to see you again this morning. :loveya: I hope you have a wonderful day and get the camera going. :loveya: :hug: :hi:

[Clintmax]

68. Ok...well you have a great weekend, my dear!

Yes, that would have been a scary ride! You have to be sure everything is tightened, that's for sure! I've got to go get ready for work too. It was wonderful to see you also, sweetheart! :loveya: I'll see you Monday morning! :hug:

[riona]

65. Fl check-in

Maybe something is stopping you from buying the camera because it IS on sale elsewhere. A day early and a dollar over - not the way it's supposed to work. Bought my cat supplies - the litter box is an architectural masterpiece. I'm coming back as a cat.

[Clintmax]

67. Good Morning, Miss Flblu!

:hi:
I hope I don't see it somewhere else like that, but it wouldn't surprise me. It happens to me all the time. :rofl: So where did you get an architechural masterpiece litter box? :rofl:

[riona]

72. Luxury litter box

PetSmart. I did turn down the ones that were larger than a small condo - winding stairway, overhead entrance etc. Everything but turret and moat. Did you check Amazon for the camera or overstock.com?

[Clintmax]

70. Time to go get ready for work, my crew!

I hope you have a fantastic weekend and we can all look forward to lots of pictures on Monday morning! Take care of each other and I'll see you on Monday! :bounce: :grouphug:

[Random_Australian]

74. Morning Clint!

[In_The_Wind]

75. Hi

I started my morning cleaning and refilling the bird feeders outside.
Now I can enjoy watching them while I sip my morning coffee.
I'll try to be here earlier on Monday to enjoy your new pictures.

[billyskank]

86. Morning Joani

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

89. billyskank!

:loveya: I though I was too late and missed everyone.

[Wetzelbill]

76. Morning Clint

Hell I always have my beer goggles on. :)


Too bad you couldn't go pick up the camera. I always get overly excited like a little kid when I have something like that I want to use. Us "grown ups" have our own toys, you know? They are just more expensive than cars, trucks and GI Joes. :) Case in point, I loves my video camera. I barely use it though. :) I'm hoping to make a short film with it when I get a chance. :)

[entanglement]

77. Howdy, Clintmax!

:) :hi:

[bigwillq]

82. Hey Clint!

Good morning! I am up way too early but I have to wait and see if the games I have to cover today have been postponed. It rained a lot last night and is drizzling right now.


Have a good one. :hi:

[LaurenG]

83. Good Morning Clintmax

I know its late but I've already gotten the groceries for the week, fed the inside cats and outside birds and fed us too! Now I can concentrate on laundry and the other fun stuff. I'm taking it easy tomorrow though. Have a good day at work! Pictures will be fun, I love pictures!:) :bounce: :hi: :loveya: :hug:

[billyskank]

85. Hi OhioBlues!

:loveya:

[LaurenG]

87. Hi Billyskank!

88. Awww

[newyawker99]

84. Good morning everyone!

[WCGreen]

90. I thought you had taken the day off and turned the reign

over to yvr girl.....

Long time Clint, haen't been up and in front of the computer during many hours when the daylight is out and about...
