PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY DESTROYED BY FLOOD

Crawford, Texas
A tragic flood at the personal library of President George W. Bush
destroyed both his books. The flood began in the presidential bathroom
where the books were kept.
A White House spokesman said the president was devastated, since he
had almost finished coloring the second one. The spokesman added that
the tragedy could probably have been averted, but repeated calls to FEMA
went unanswered.

Its been a crazy few weeks...

 

Work is nuts.

 

This past weekend we went to Phila for a weekend away. The hotel was OK, but Saturday night around 12:30am water started pouring thorough the bathroom ceiling from the room above us. I don't know what happened, but it wasn't a good feeling. It took running the water for like 10 minutes to get hot water except in the morning (when everyone else was using hot too) because the hotel was so old.

 

On the way home Sunday, we passed a guy in a little Honda-type car high-centered in the 10" of snow on rt70. We stopped and pulled him out of the snow, only to find out that he had a flat front tire. No wonder he got stuck. People who drive low cars should stay off the road when its snowing that hard, they are a danger to themselves and to other drivers. Not to mention the plows couldn't plow that ramp because he was stuck right past the end of it. ugh! I'm glad we took the Jeep. I took the roof rack off because I wanted to be sure that we would be able to get into the parking garage and not get  snowed into a lot on Sunday.

 

I think I'm going to keep the rack off the Jeep, as much as I liked having it up there. I'll mount the Hi-Lift on the luggage rack and think I will look for a plastic box that has a good latching lid that is like 48"x24"x4" to replace the plastic containers I had my gear in. This will make the Jeep about 6" shorter than it was before, plenty of room to fit into a garage if I need to.

Funny, i didn't know they still sent telegrams...

We had a great ride yesterday. We got together with a few of the Southern Cruisers and did about 100 miles through the pine barrens. We stopped and had lunch along the way.

Looks like I may have a water heater problem.. we ran out of hot water awfully fast this morning. I'll have to see if we have hot water when I get home tonight.

RIP Lady Bug

We lost Lady Bug this morning about 3:30am. I guess we can't complain, she was 18 years old, which is real old for a cat. She didn't suffer much, she was gone in less than 2 days from the time she started to decline. We'll miss her.

I've been lax about posting lately - I need to fix that.

 

Let's see.. We went to the Franklin Institute on Saturday and saw the Body Worlds exhibit - pretty cool. Katya liked it too once I explained to her which parts of the body she was looking at.

 

Life has been hell at work - but that is year end as usual. I'm real busy working on a whole bunch of projects.

 

I have been working on scrap booking lately. I'm starting with a cabin party book and then think I will work forward from there. It is actually pretty fun cutting gout all the pictures. Now the real work begins - putting it all in a book and making it look pretty. I'm sure I'll learn quite a bit as I do it.

 

I ordered a battery tender for the bike since I'm not riding anywhere near as much as I used to be.
