Just got a call from my manager - work might be cancelled tomorrow. Due to the ice storm,there's no power in the area where my building is. :banana:

I will be "on call" though and may be called to go in later.

I found a USA dime in a pub last night. I'm in Australia, we don't have dimes.

So, in Australia, dimes aren't a dime a dozen?

No sir! Rare as hens' teeth, in fact.

Nope, nor do we have quarters.. 5, 10, 20 & 50 cent pieces only. We have $1 & $2 coins in lieu of the discarded one and two dollar notes years ago.

Saw a plump red cardinal today. My camera isn't that great...so it's not very detailed.

Love those pics Artemis! What a top looking bird that is - very handsome. We don't get too much in the way of such vibrant coloured birds here in the UK.

Yes, he was a fine specimen. He was easy to spot against the stark contrast of the ice and snow covered branches. The females are not so vibrant.

Long story but when I lived on Okinawa I had a 1963 Melody Maker (I had two) stolen from me. Well I found it and the shop that has it is sending it to me as long as I pay shipping without having to buy it back. This one had two p-ups in it and belonged to my grandfather. Needless to say I'm REAL fucking happy. Hope you all had a great Xmas!

EDIT: and I'm down 40lbs since August! :rockon:

Naw I just got really heavy with no exercise prior to that. I was almost 240 after the surgeries now at 180. Trying to get to 170. And I mean in terms of 40lbs of fat. I have been packing on muscle.

I will get to it most of my time has been spent on getting things up and running on Roatan. I will be spending 50% of my time in Austin and 50% of my time in West End, Roatan.

-10° or -11°degrees right now! (depending on what service you ask) :banana:

I'm happy because I like extreme winter weather (aside from when people are injured or killed or have their property destroyed, etc.).
I'm also happy because I'm indoors. I shoveled some Friday morning, and I usually get so hot I end up down to just a long sleeved shirt. Not this time. I had to give up early because I thought I was going to get frostbite on my face. Luckily it being so cold makes the snow lighter and easier to move.

Me too! I love the "nostril sticker" days. That's when the extreme cold causes your nostrils to stick together when you breathe in. (Yes, I know. I'm a bit of a weirdo. :lol: )

Thank you. The sweethearts woke up before 5 am just to say again good bye to me. Too bad I won't see until December.
Now I'm delayed here in Charlotte, N.C. Plane is here, crew is on the air. Cool, we're boarding now :wiggle:
