Patience is not a virtue I possess. Nope. Not me.

its gotta be for me. i mean come on, i had my mom out learning how to drive a stick in my mustang the other nite. oh how i wish minnesota permitted passengers to have open bottles :)

Why does she want to learn how to drive a stick? I learned to drive with my Dad's stick and we had one early in our marriage, but honestly, automatics are so much nicer and easier.

The open bottle idea is a good one though for suffering through teaching your kids to drive. I wish I would have thought of that when my kids were learning.

well, i've had the thing for 2 years now. and for 2 years she's wanted to learn how to drive it. i dunno why. i'll agree that automatics are nicer and easier, but in the 2 years i've had the car, i've kinda grown attached to the clutch and the stick. and re-learned how to brake with either foot.

<edit>but alas, minnesota is a the-car-will-always-be-dry state.

amazing isn't it how little it takes to get a little thread drift.

It's because we're refocusing here so not to get too psyched up. I think it's actually called preservation of sanity or something akin to that.

speak for yourself on that sanity stuff :)

Well I have to work at that sanity stuff. Doesn't come easy...and in fact I believe it gets more difficult the older one gets.

Now where is that nightshirt with the funny sleeves? It's time for bed.

Indiana allows open bottle (or can) for passengers in a vehicle.

Goodevening, We were in such a rush Sat night when leaving Lindstrom-while packing the truck I actually forgot to take the winecooler out of the truck (drinking while packing up)-Sarah says 'just drink it'-I had to explain what a bad influence I would be when she remembers this incident years from now. Our destination was only a few miles away on the other side of the lake and I finished it there :)...ooohhh and actually on our way home there was a crazy driver who sped up past me and jumped in my lane and got right on the butt of the truck pulling a trailer in front of me...road his butt for miles that I was gonna dial 911 on both of them cause they both swerved around too much---well, just then the car decides to pass the truck-sure enough a cop was sitting under a bridge and it was approx 2 am -so bar close traffic on 35E south of Forest Lake...the car sees the police and brakes and cuts back in behind the truck ---the police pulled out and cut in front of me and pulled over the car----hahahaha-good thing I got rid of the winecooler earlier, I would have felt guilty.

FYI - passed a fox, 2 deer and another critter on 28 up here in Aitkin! I worried the whole trip up about deer after reading that post about the doe and her 4 children :( ...fog all the way up here...I had to squint throught the fog lights-it's like driving blind, you basically cannot stop even if there was anything in the road---left the cities late about 10 pm Sun. night --I remember now why I hate driving at night!

But, glad to be up here :) sunny and upper 80's

---a loon came within 15 feet of the beans, grandma and I thisafternoon and swam around us for a while. We fed the sunfish breadcrumbs, sat outside and sewed, read the paper and swam in the spring fed lake :) which is flooded up a good 10 feet into the grass from the beach.

A woman likes a rugged outdoors man who can fix anything (including breakfast) and show that he can take care of a woman under any conditions but still be dependent on her for all the little things life brings, laughter, companionship. Actually I know a few women who wish they had a man like that but ended up with men who don't even know which end to use on a screwdriver!

i thought that was common knowledge.

nice thing is, i'll not only have it, but i'll have gsm service from at&t come the next hunt. i really will be living up to the "there she sat on the snow-mound with a laptop and cell" from hotel coolerfornia. except for the she part (gotta get that in, cuz i know me2's watching and will pounce on anything i say :)
