  1. Great advice - I'd love to have you up to help decorate! My first instinct was to hit the garage sales - (since the STBE is getting the bulk of the furniture-) I've been told that's OK, as long as the stuff matches and is in great shape. (Not hard to find in this area, it's infested with yuppies-) Great source of dishes, pots, pans, etc. Wire spools, cement blocks and scrap boards are right out, though. Easy Does It
  2. mmmmmmmmmmmmm - Leather - ! A nice big overstuffed leather couch? And matching loveseat? Easy Does It
  3. Alti-III on my left hand, 1 Pro-Track and 1 Pro-Dytter. One day I'd like to get and Alti-Track, when they come out on the market - Any day now I guess?? Easy Does It
  4. Dude, have you ever considered submitting these stories for publication? Might be enough income potential for, I dunno, a new canopy or something some day!!?? Easy Does It
  5. That is some very nice metal work! Methinks I need to find an anvil and build a forge! I've got a good-sized sheave to play with (about 20" in diameter) and all sort of othe neat stuff that would otherwise end up in the scrap bin. Easy Does It
  6. Chicks dig Neon? Really? Easy Does It
  7. Don't forget couches recycled off the curb on junk day-! Easy Does It
  8. Oh jeez NO I won't let my son decorate! He's too big into bands like Green Day, etc. and decorated his room in the "early-teenage garbage-pit" motif. Nah - I'll certainly get his input and let him have his share of input. He does like the big-screen TV and home theatre ideas, though!! One of the ideas I had was going with an "industrial" infuence I'll call it. I work one some fairly large machinery and have some really large machine parts, (sheaves, etc.) and full use of a bunch of welding equipment. - I can build all sorts of stuff, I just need to be sure it doesn't make the ladies go "yuck". So let me ask this - What are the things ladies DON'T want to see in a guys home? (Maybe I should post that question in the Womans' forum?) Easy Does It
  9. OK - Here's the scoop - My son and I will be moving in a few months - It'll be the bachelor pad thing sort of - small two bedroom house with garage - Need some decorating ideas, need to keep the masculine thing going while making it appealing to the ladies. Easy Does It
  10. I've been told to go to CrossKeys by lots of folks. Ok - That's one stop on the list - Any more suggestions? C'mon now!! Easy Does It
  11. Thanks - I knew it looked funny - Let me see if I can fix it. Easy Does It
  12. Ok - First Off - Did I get the spelling in the subject line correct? (I think I did- Spell Check didn't spot it but it looks funny to me.) Here's the plan - In June - after my "change in marital status" is complete, and my son and I are moved into our new digs, I'll be taking him out to NY state to spend the summer with his Mom and sisters. I'd like to take a full week and a half or so off and do some aimless wandering. I live near Chicago and I'll be taking Esau out to NY, near Swain/Geneseo - around that area. I KNOW I'll get some really great ideas - One stop that is a MUST is FreeFallOz in Ceres, PA. Must spend a few days with Ash and Celeine. After that - Show me a good time! Easy Does It
  13. mmmm - Mebbe you took me the wrong way - Tunnel time is great - I know there's more than a few who prefer the tunnel to actual freefall - But for some one like me, it takes the buzz away. I'd love to have a tunnel in the Chicago-Milwaukee area. I have no doubt the customer base is there, seems there aren't any investors though. I, for one, would be spending a few hours a year in the tunnel in the wintertime, and jumping all summer. My daughter Sarah had an hour in the tunnel before starting AFF. She flies like a sparrow now! Easy Does It
  14. I can some more "sayings" but they ain't real Texan that I know of - Meanings oughta be self-explanatory. "Squirmin' like a worm on a hot shovel" "Busier than a cat coverin' shit on a tin roof" "Up shit crick without a paddle" "Horny as a three-peckered billygoat" "Colder that a witches' tit" Easy Does It
  15. My family is so dysfunctional we're ALL "black sheep". I'll be even more so now, becuase I'll be first in the family to get divorced TWICE! Easy Does It
  16. In McHenry, Illinois - Condos - anywhere from $89,000 (real cheap, crappy place-) up to about $175,000 for something pretty nice - average about $150,000 Apartments (renting) - Figure $650 - $950 a month. We purchased our home in '00 for $137,000 - We're putting on the market here soon for $220,000 Three bedroom, two baths, two car garage, 80x120 lot, lots of upgrades. Easy Does It
  17. I grew wanting to do pretty much what I'm doing now, pulling wrenches, welding, fixing and building stuff, working with my hands and my head. And hanging from parachutes. I had a big fascination with parachutes and kites when I was a kid. So, I guess grew up to be exactly what I wanted! Damn, I'm lucky! Easy Does It
  18. Don't recall, "My" something I think. I've seen it blocked by our firewall at work also. Easy Does It
  19. So, like I'm just checking my email and shit, and I see an email from bbarnhouse@dropzone.com. I'm thinking, "Wow what does she have for me??" So I check it, and the text is all in some sort of oriental script, and includes an attachment "readme.exe". My anti-virus software indentifies it as a worm. (Yahoo is pretty good that way, I must say!") Pretty forking clever. Bastards. I know Betsy wouldn't pull some stunt like that. Easy Does It
  20. It's just as I feared. You are suffering from Dumpster's Disorder. Cause: a significant alignment of the stars Symptoms: tooth loss, extreme leg numbness, occasional shrunken head, snoring Cure: cryogenic freezing until science catches up Shit - I've been waking up like that the past five years!
