I know! I just tried to use the one I installed, but the component is outdated. So I then installed the newest component and the database failed altogether. Now we have no chat capabilities.

I'll have to hunt around for a different one. The one I installed was unstable anyway.

Reminds me of the good old days of messing with Joe. I know you will do it, My Man!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the gentleman's hat in the photo. It makes him look like a mushroom!

That bear is holding that pole a whole lot more steady than someone else we both know from the past.

The bear probably drums a whole lot better also.

All,
Cabin fever has hit our Northern pards( Fro & Karl). Their brains have frozen. Please pray that they will thaw out for the upcoming season.

I have seen the same thing for living in Iowa. Our two states have so much in common.

Today we are to hit 38! My lord I think I am going to cry. Last night I went to Jakes and we stood outside and talked for a good half hour!

Spring is coming!

Holler

If its not Cabin Fever its Snow Blindness!

I love my Snow Blower! My Wife is starting to wonder why I spend so much time in the shed!
