Would that emblazoned figure be an Abilene Eagle? Tell us a little about your book, coach.

Why, yes indeed, it would be! I graduatd from here a long time ago and then was fortunate enough to get a job here a few years back ... it is pretty cool to go to "work" every day and have it feel like homecoming!

Well, my book ... which one should I talk about? Like most English teachers, I think I can write just as well as some of the authors they have me teaching, so I have a bunch of stories in my head that my sons are pressuring me to let OUT of my head! My favorite is my Old West novel, featuring a big ranch, Indians and cowboys, horses and six-shooters, saloon girls and a friendly school ma'arm!

I have my 1st cup hot outta the Keurig and just about ready for the day! Hope we all have a better day today.

Good morning, finishing the Keurig cup now (Tully's this morning); hear the wife stirring downstairs, so I can go down and put the big pot on now! Hope you gents enjoy the day.

Up and at 'em. Just digging into a bowl of cereal. Our ten day forecast calls for temperatures in the 90s for the foreseeable future. That's unusual for this part of the country and especially for this time of year. Thank God for air conditioning.

Ooooops, sorry, I didn't stop here at AAPK first


Been up since 0615 ..............burnin' through the coffee!

I skipped the coffee this morning because I had a fairly early doctor appointment, and I suspected I would have to pee in a cup.

THAT WAS A HUGE MISTAKE! I have had a no-coffee headache and a case of the grumps all day. And the doctor was more than an hour late. And it finally dawned on me: why do I give a $#!+ if the doctor finds coffee in my urinalysis??

Had my first and only for a while. Gettin' ready to go to meetin'. Hope all have a great day today!

Ray

Same to you Ray!

Chuggin from the jug right now!!

Welcome to a new week gents. Sunday was a great day in the Midwest. The Cubs beat the Houston Astros for a three game sweep and I raided eBay for a bone handled Camillus 72 and a Montgomery Wards Powr-Kraft, made by Camillus. This particular one is not a Camillus 72 but a Camillus 80. The 80 is a Deluxe 72 model with NS pins and liners and jimping on the liners. I'm beginning to believe the 80 was only made for a short period in the 60s. I have a Camillus 80 but I've never seen one with the Powr-Kraft stamp.

I hope y'all have a good week. Stay cool. This heat wave is supposed to keep temperatures in the 90s through Saturday so it's going to be a HOT 4th of July.

Mornin' Jerry.


Just crankin' up the laptop for the day.

Monday! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Not too bad a day for me, my Dad is riding with me to Atlantic Beach to check out a condo unit (and some fishing stores) ought to be a GOOD Monday!!

6:45 and it's 80 degrees. Oh well, the coffee tastes good anyway.

Well, I kinda slept in this morning. The Keurig has cranked out my first and I am workin on it. Got the trash out and I'm ready for the day.

Can I join in here. I'm as bad addicted to my coffee as I am pocketknives and shotguns. Up awful late today. Me and the big boys stayed up pretty late last night after church watering the garden so we slept in. I'm a teacher so my summer schedule gets all messed up.

The faithful ol Bunn just finished up with a half a put of extra strong, hot black perfection. To top it all off it's thundering outside. Man we need rain bad. Have a great morning guys

You have the key to the web site (user ID & password). You're free to roam where you please. I hardly ever drink coffee and they haven't kicked me out.

Hey Colonel, send some of that ol' Kentucky rain over to us poor hillbillies in SW MO, would ya? It's drier'n a preachers liquor cabinet 'round these parts!

WB

If I could I would. It ain't rained yet, but I'm hopeful. The tobacco is dying up in the field, the corn is rolling up, and even that blamed ol Bermuda grass is drying up and getting brown.

Two cups of "Pecan Sticky Bun" from the local bean roaster and grinder, and a pleasant viewing of Lonesome Dove, Part I, "Leaving."

The heat is only in the mid 90's here today, but the humidity is up there around 70%. I'm a'sweatin' like a sinner in church!

That ain't the way I heard it.

Woke up early this morning and already have my first cup. Not much going on today except for a men's breakfast meeting this morning.

Ray

Mornin' Ray!

Just poured my first cup........ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....there we go....

Sippin and checking the forums for spam and such. Got a long day of driving ahead of me today. Some days I'll drive 300 miles or more on my job. This could end up being one of those days. (At least I'll get to rest up tomorrow.)

Have a good one.

I ain't got to the coffee yet, but I've been up a while. The good news is that out rained! Finally it rained, and they're calling for more tomorrow.
