There are some neat shots in there, worth looking at. One of a guy in a rowboat out on the open spot, and a few of some bubbles and cracks in some clear ice out on the lake that looked really interesting.
I am spending a ton of time on ebay buying up wearable headlamps....I am sure I can come up woth soemthing for you boys to use!! That is if you'd wear it on your head??? We can finger something out!!
I have a B-day party I need to go to at the Moose and will have people from the party over later. But I'm gonna try and get out and show up for the clue at least.
Good Morning! It took me most of my extra time last night and this morning just to get caught up on slogging. I can see I'm going to have to start getting here at *least* once a day to keep current.
VJ - you make me laugh with your stories....I *hate* when you're woken up like that. Had to ask - someone just was looking at this bus at work a couple days ago.....Aw nutz, can't remember how to post a link.....gotta run now to work, hafta try for it later!
I'm here. Just trying to find a job. I'm still collecting unemployment, but it doesn't really cover all my expenses and I'm basically already in the hole as it is. And then I got pulled over last night and given a ticket. Someone else had been pulled over on the side of 35E and I drove by. I didn't know though it was like a law that I had to move over into the left lane. So the cop goes and chases me down and tells me that and gives me a ticket. Like that's what I need right now. In fact, since becoming unemployed, I've gotten two tickets and had a minor accident. Prior to that I'd never been pulled over and just had one accident when I first started driving. I can only hope that this streak of bad luck is like when there's a tsumai and the tide drops way down just before the big wave hits. Hopefully there will be a big wave of luck during the hunt.
I think he was convinced I had been drinking or something and wanted to nail me with something since he couldn't prove it. I was actually coming home from a bar, but I don't drink. Still, he accused me of having "watery eyes". I suppose it was from the cigarette smoke in the bar. We were doing Pub Quiz at Brit's Pub and managed to come in 2nd place (only 1/2 point out of first). Getting pulled over was a good way to dampen that mood.

I'm with ya AW. My wife's car is fried. And we can't afford gas the way it is. I'm not jumping on the complaining bandwagon, just letting you know that you have company is all. -Things are tough all over -When it rains it pours -It's always darkest before the storm
Sounds good but I still think I have a few ribs that haven't totally been kicked in just yet. I have a feeling that things are gonna get worse. Although I do like surrounding myself with positive thinkers anyway. Thanks guys
Bummer, Allison. Man... I hope something good happens to you soon. It's been about 2.5 years since I lost my job and I'm just now starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel (that's not a train) - I think. But after I finish off my trustee payments (Jan? Feb? March?) then I've got to start in on the medical bills from breaking my arm...
What's a killer is the depression. It's kind'a hard to shake even when things start looking up. When you're down a long time you sometimes have "waiting for the other shoe to drop" mentality. And I've lived in fear of losing my house for so long, I'm not comfortable in it any longer.
Violent (sp?), Master and Allison - I sure hope things start to pick up soon for you guys...
But I draw the line at finding The Med! THAT'S MINE!!! :D
Hey Marley! Great concert, wasn't it? That was the weekend of the super storms that went through the arrowhead and did all that damage in the BWCA. What a mess!
Allison - Sorry that you're having such luck. Wish all of you unemployed guys could find good work. This economy has to turn around sooner!
Looks like folks are beginning to "collect" around here. Hey Marley! long time! AW- good to see ya. Me2, you crack me up. AW, bummer- I loathe pinchy cops who make assumptions based on wether or not they agree with appearances.Hope you find your dream job. Green- chin up, girlie! I know you have it in you to grin. I'm experiencing the doldrums myself- winter break nearly over, and I've done nothing but watch old movies and make cheesecake. Looking forward to the upcoming "noodlefest" See you.
Another update, new photos (well sorta, I just got around to getting them uploaded today) from Phalen that I took on Sunday.

Sorry to hear that AW. Sounds like a pretty lame law. I've never heard of it before. He should have just given you a warning.

-Things are tough all over
-When it rains it pours
-It's always darkest before the storm
etc.
yeah, lots of bad luck lately it seems. Bummer deal guys.
I guess if I don't find the medallion this year, it'd be nice to see it go to someone who is down on their luck.
You forgot one CM.
-Misery loves company.
At least you've got each other!
-It's always darkest before the storm
That's not exactly comforting. How about this one instead?
It's always darkest before the dawn.

Sorry to hear about all the bad luck, lord knows I have had my share of it this year, all I can say is keep your powder dry and the world will turn.

Cooler! Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they update it to often.
yeah I noticed that too.. once every couple minutes. I'll stick with the other obviously for the video.
This would made some nice add in shots though. too bad there's a big ol channel 5 watermark on the image.
Master, Me2 - you guys are TOO funny!!!
