8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 12

Is it time for me to capture the + 1 that I seem to get lately?

I went from being late to being premature..... is that an improvement?

Captain Crash should know what a GRUP is!

Too bad he had to go tend to his girls. I hope they are both feeling better this morning, Tom.

OK...no wonder I had never heard of it.

Also known as yupster (yuppie + hipster), yindie (yuppie + indie), and alterna-yuppie. Our preferred term, grup, is taken from an episode of Star Trek (keep reading) in which Captain Kirk et al. land on a planet of children who rule the world, with no adults in sight. The kids call Kirk and the crew “grups,” which they eventually figure out is a contraction of “grown-ups.” It turns out that all the grown-ups had died from a virus that greatly slows the aging process and kills anybody who grows up.

DING DING DING DING DING!!

Okay - back to work for me! See everyone later.

[lbgraves]

But you are all so nice and fun!

I guess the alternative is to be one of the folks MR keeps running into.....

not a tough choice.

Do you mean the one she should have done this to?

Thanks fwe the B-day wishes. I DO appreciate your congratualtory thoughts! And on the winner having the most T-shirts.... well... I got a long way to go before I can compete with ANYONE on that front. The last bike race I was in was a fund raiser for MS - a 200 mile bike ride from Orange County to San Diego. I got HIT by a car at the 87 mile point and broke my left hip and right wrist. Plus a $$$+ bike was wrecked! I don't regret riding to raise money to help others - I DO have regrets at being hit by someone who had been in an accident only 60 days earlier - and had no insurance. Fortunately, I had a little uninsured motorist coverage which paid me a maximum claim - which was enough to cover my medical bills and leave some consulaton funds for my lost time.

YIKES!!! Glad you were OK...eventually.
We have lots and lots of trails here. One parallels the highway for about 15 miles (at a same distance from the road). The only catch is that I can't ride my racing bike - too much muck and slush, so I'm riding my mountain bike. Not ideal for speed. Yeah, that's it, I can blame the bike.

Isn't it hard to bike under water?

Harder than you think.

You're sending that crap to us! My latest forecast - 2-4 inches tonight with another 1-3 tomorrow morning! I'll meet you in PA - you won't miss me - I'll be the one with the pot to make the stew in!

Lisa has a recipe.

Wow, two swims and a bike.....?

OK, too much multi-tasking. 13 mile run.

I know!!!! Reading what she does wears me out. I wish I had her energy.

It's all the energy I save by not ironing.
or scrapbooking.

 

[tom31b]

That depends....has your family started giving you evil stares whenever you log on to the DIS now?

Is that what that look is?

[tom31b]

Someone here MUST know that bit of trivia!!

As I read later in the thread, that's from Star Trek, but Capt. Pickard was on Star Trek, not Capt. Kirk......

 

[lbgraves]

Tom, it looks like you were the only swabbie around...so good show!

 

[lbgraves]

LOL! I did pull out the wrinkle release that I have for trips the other day & used it on several shirts right out of the dryer...saving myself a lot of ironing. Guess that I will have to invest in more. There were a few things that it wouldn't work on but it still cut back the ironing pile considerably.

If I may be so bold as to speak for wenches everywhere, "No."

It has been killing me hearing stories of people traveling for spring break, had the travel bug pretty bad the last couple of weeks. Problem is DW and I work opposite shifts (to take care of the kids) so we don't get many days off together. Yesterday DW got "Called Off" not enough babies for her to take care of, so off to Santa Barbara we went. About an hour up the coast from here with a beautiful drive along the ocean. Had lunch at our favorite place, Brophy Bros which is located on the harbor overlooking all of the boats. This place makes us feel like we have traveled to somewhere far away but only 1 hour away. Afterward the kids got to play on the beach. Weather was beautiful as well high 60's.

View from Brophy Bros.

WOW, and I thought the 72* water temp at De Leon Springs was cold last week...................

One of these days I am going to short out the keyboard or monitor. How do I explain that to IS..........

Hello

You're sending that crap to us! My latest forecast - 2-4 inches tonight with another 1-3 tomorrow morning! I'll meet you in PA - you won't miss me - I'll be the one with the pot to make the stew in!

I'll meet you guys there! When we're done with Phil we need to find his handlers too!

Should I be worried or scared that I moved into the top 40?

Ummm, maybe a little of both!

Are you there yet?

You go girl!

I guess that all depends on your perspective!
