I dunno, where the hell are we?

Does ring know?

sunday mornin' coming down...

tully?

Yep, with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.

Jewels?

here I sit sipping my coffee and eating some cream of wheat wondering who will come in here for us to meet...mostly likely "rhymie" would be amonkie

It could be ...

Unca Phil.

Me...

Then Phil

then jewels?

she'll probably be next

so where's fly?

He must be busy up there in the beautiful Northwest. I'm not so busy down here in the beautiful Northeast.

unc, how's it down there in the beautiful Southeast?

I'm basically bored today down here south of the border.

Nick again?

The southeast here is slightly warmer now that the rain's stopped.

How's yours, Unc?

mine's fine..

tully?

well overnight here it snowed about 2" aka ~ 50mm but by the time I woke up ~6:30am it was raining but still below freezing air temp, so it turned into a thick sheet of ice. As I was having my coffee (in my den on my favorite chair) the rain melted some of the snow so it was already turning into slush...rain all morning so more slush. I think they're predicting more snow tonight. That suggests I should predict snowy but since she rarely shows up here I'll go with Tully since they both end in "y"

Good guess, still no snow here.

OCM?

Yes, hello? Brief hiatus from the snow here, but it's very cold.

BadNick, what's the temperature there?

Right now it's 35F and predicted to creep up to 39F by 6pm, then back down to 37F through tomorrow. Thursday & Friday are supposed to be in the low 30F's and Saturday & Sunday in the low 20F's. Pretty much normal winter weather for around here.

Ocm?, for me the upper midwest has a lot of nice things about it but the Winter is not one of them.

I feel the same way about summer down here. It's just too freaking HOT. I keep thinking I'll get used to it. I wonder if I'll stop thinking that after 5, 10 or even 20 years?

Phil's got the right idea. Migration.

Right Phil?

So then who's smarter, humans or ducks? I bet phil would know...quack quack


(Tul, maybe it make sense to slowly creep in a more temperate direction until you stop having thoughts about it being too hot or cold. I suggest trying southern Peru or nothern Chile.)

Oh, I can't leave all the plants would die.

Now Phil?

maybe phil would agree with my advice, I know Fly would: smoke the plants and just leave. Get new plants when you resettle.

right, phil?

No one smoking the plants I have. Ok, maybe that one crazy lady down the street but not me or anyone else.

Back to Nick?

truer words have never been spoken

good morning, unc. Hope you had a restful sleep.

Just because ... :p

Unc Tully?

Unle Phil next.

i be here...

fly?

dammit! It's still winter around here.

early to rise, unc?

early bird here caught the worDs first ;)

tully?

Yep

Morning Phil.

so happy it's thursday...

fly?

you got me baby..........


stab in the dark here........


Tophat?

Nahh.

How 'bout OCM?

nope, it's me..

tully?

Yep it's me.

Jewels?

Good morning TFP.

Nicky?

I like it when you say that :)

I'm going with my usual guess: Ocm?

I like it when you say that, too.:thumbsup:

-15F this morning...

I'd like one of my usuals, uncle phil.

sorry buddy.......c'mon back and we'll discuss it.

You silver-tongued devil, I assume you were talking to me...

Was he, Tully?

Tully, when you do show up, please let us all know the answer to that. Thank you, kind sir.

I always assume all the voices in my head are talking to me.

OCM?

my favorite part is when the voice in my head sticks it's wet little tongue in my ear...that tickles!

I'm sure Ocm? will appreciate that.

What's that you say?

Unc Phil may have been rained out.

almost...

gg?

good game? yes? :)

jewels?

I just scratched them.

unc, happy Saturday!

The voices in your head?

Tully?

nope...

now tully?

I'm here, just dragging ass this morning.


Nick?

Tully.................

Yes.

Nick?

I just rolled out of bed ~1/2hr. ago. Have I repeated lately how much I like this coffee? Hey, anybody wanna meet up tonight and shoot some pool?

hi jewels, what are you up to today?

Just got home from work, Nicky boy.

Hi Julie honey. How was your day in work? I need a pool table...and a room for it.

Did someone need a pool shark? Dat be me!

Tully wanna play?

he'll be up next...

Maybe, maybe.

I like pool.

Nick?

nope...

tully?

Yeah I'm here. Somethings happening here on weekends esp. Sundays where the power goes out and doesn't come back on until almost exactly 8am Monday morning. Third time this year. Odd.

Jewels?

is she odd? Jewels, are you odd or even?

She seems even to me.

Jewel are you even?

well she's been a long time comin'
she's goin' to be a long time gone.


right, unc???

I go both ways. Feng shui and all that.

I'm wondering about Unca Phil, though. Odds?

About 50-50 these days, only 'cause I've gone off my meds. Stupid voices in my head, stupid! What was I saying? Oh right-

Phil should be next.

"Now Hear This!!!"

fly?

yes.....you called.


oh Nick..........

Sorry.

Tully?

Dazed and confused.

Unc?

unc...

jove?

jewels oughta verify eventually?

I agree with you on that one!

unc, how's your wet wind?

cats and dogs...

ocm?

bark, bite and all that.

tully?

Miss, up to and touching Miss!

Phil.

c'est moi...

flky?

who you callin' a flky? We're having a bit of unexpected snow now, but pretty soon we're having a lot of expected snow...this must be why they make colored golf balls.

right, uncy?

I'm sure that's one of the reasons that phil hasn't considered.

bagatelle, if you please?

Nope, tis I.

Phil.

here, here...

now bagatelle...

C'est moi. Nicky?

bag lady here...

jewels again?

Morning all,

Phil.

gonna sleep in one of these mornings...

jewels?

My last opportunity this week to sleep in, gone. Thanks, people upstairs.

OCM might be up.

Could be, don't know.

Nick?

I'm up. About this high ...see my hand?

so I guess jewels is up and about.

About, no doubt...maybe the people upstairs left & she was able to lay back down.

(nobody's light is on): Giant Hamburger?

No lying down when there's stuff to be done!

Bag be back?

bag lady or bag man?

unc, what clubs in your bag?

14... (driver, 3-wood, 5-wood, 3-iron hybrid, 5-iron hybrid, 7-iron hybrid, 7-, 8-, 9-, pw-, gap-, sand-, and lob-wedges, and my old nicklaus tranzitions putter...)

jove?

maybe you meant evoj? That's why I'm here.

how 'bout that Tully!

He may be sleeping in on a saturday morning ...

I'm thinkin' Unca Phil gon' go golfing!

I'm here

Phil's here too.

yup, and i'm goin' golfin'...

fremen?

Did you ever read Dune, bagatelle?

Can't say that I have.

Nick has, though.

Saw the movie but can't say that I read it, either. But I did sleep in a Holiday Inn Express. It was actually better than I expected.

...expecting Ocm? now....

Funny, "No one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition"

Now OCM?

Is that your nickname, Tul? I think everybody should have a nick name.

unc, what's your nick name?

pinky...

and ocm?
