Good Morning Vagabonds

I’m back from yet ANOTHER fiasco on the Gulf Coast.

This makes 3 trips in a row that I came back feeling like a punching bag. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Welcome back, Leaky. Sorry your trip wasn’t successful.

Gulf Coast? It was warm maybe? at least….

Thanks Jan…………the last few have been horrendous.

But I’ll be back. :-)))

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen I am in a very good mood this morning. Just a few minutes ago, I mailed a copy of my CD to Lonewolf, who is going to up-load it so my frtiends can listen to it. Sorry I don’t have a video, but then I’m not that pretty. Wouldn’t want to risk cxracking a lens.

You.ve read some of the lyrics and poetry here. Now you will be able to hear them.

One piece of advice on tuning: Turn the bass down a little, and turn the treble up. YEA, WOOPEE, GOODYGOODYGOODY!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU AGAIN, lONEWOLF!!!!!! :-)))))))))))))))))))))

Actually SWEETBILL it was in the mid 30’s at night, but warmed up during the day.

Good Morning, Leaky, JanC, SWEETBILL, Slim, Montana Lady and all the Vagabonds!

Your welcome, Slim. I’ll “e” you when I receive it.

Good Morning Wolfie

How you be??

Good morning, Vagabonders!

I’m ready to say goodnight…….just stayed up long enough to say hello to Everyone.

Slim……..it will be great to hear your CD!

One of these days Leaky will have a winning streak?

It’s going to be zero tonight…..brrrr….I’ll take that 30’s on the golf coast. Daytime was absolutely gorgeous, though, It broke 32 and snow is melting. What’s is like where you are SweetBill?

Watched a Maverick episode this p.m., Jan, one of those where Brother Bret does the introduction, and Brother Bart was the main character. NOT THE SAME!!!! Love Bret….!!

Good night, All…….

Montana Lady………….what you need to do in order to build up you stamina, is go sleep outside in your birthday suit.

You will feel much stronger in the am. ;-)

I am so excited!!!

Good morning LS, JCVV, SB and Lonewolf. Also, any tardy ones that might deign to join us. :-))).

Uh Slim……………..what with this “excited” stuff you’ve been spouting tonight?

You didn’t take that “blue pill” did ya??

And on that note, I’m off to bed. Good night all.

Hanging in there, Leaky.

I’m hesitant to ask about you after the “fiasco on the Gulf Coast”. But……………….how are you doing, sir?

Actually, Leaky, it was blue and white. Is that the one you’re talking about? The capsule?

If you read the fifth post down, you will understand why I am excited. My writings will be available to the world. That gets me very excited!!!!!!

Good Morning folks, and congratulations, Slim. We all can’t wait to hear it.

Dkram - I remember it very clearly, and it was an excellent movie. But I have no idea what the name of it was.

@ dkram:

“The Boy With The Green Hair”

Morning? Afternoon? Whichever? Survived another night, to wake up to a clear sky and what will be a rediculously warm day for December. Around 80 degrees???

Sorry, ML, but winter is a sometimes thing down here. More so when La Nina is in effect

Funny thing about winter on the Gulf Coast, at least in Texas, is that it can be cold enough to freeze the wart off a witch’s nose in late November and you can be outside in short sleeves on Christmas Day. Then in January it gets cold and wet and miserable.

MontanaLady….. I like geography, especially unusual place names. The Mother Lode country in California has lots of interesting names. I suspect that there are a lot of them up there in Montana gold country? Some are namesthat reveal where the miners came from, while others are rather unusual like, Shirttail Creek, and have a story behind them, or a questionable legend.

I bring this up because I see an unusual name just a few miles from where you are. “South Scratch Gravel Hill”. I’m guessing it has something to do with gold mining?

I have a lot of maps of just about everywhere in the U.S., as well the world. Got a slew of topo maps, too, of various parts of gold country in CA. Those are my favorites, particularly the 7.5 (minute) maps. great detail of terrain, and full of unusual names.

I’d like to also say…. Get a good fire going in the fireplace. It’s gonna get COLD tonight!!

Good going Slim I figured if anyone would get it, it would be you.

You say you like old maps?

www.old-maps.com/vermont, not just VT., but all of New England, and New York.

I also wish to draw your attention to another web sight.

www.ghosttowns.com

For the Ghost Town Hunter, sounds like may be you are.

Just for the fun of it, did you know Nome AK. is considered a ghost town?

I’ve been debating if I should put out another movie.

Why not?

Staring: Alfred Able, Gustav Frohlich, Brigitte Helm 1927 In a futureistic city is devided between an upper class, and a working class, the son of the Master of Metropolis falls in love with a working class girl.

That’s enough of that till next Sat.

dkram…..wow…………talk about movies I’ve no idea about…..can’t wait to hear the answer of this last one!!!

Anyone one get the movie I posted 2 days ago? with James Caan, Sally Kellerman and Peter Boyle. It had two very sinister black vans in it for the suspense part. Very good, dark comedy.

Slim…haven’t heard of the South Scratch Gravel Hill, but we have “Last Chance Gulch”, and the Four Georgians school. They were the 4 gold miners from Georgia who gave it one more “Last Chance” before they went home. However, they struck the mother lode, and put Helena on the map!!! As it turns out, they were 2 Georgians and 2 Alabamans.

I too, love the old names!

@dhram…..It’s not so much old maps. I like to see where things/places are. I like topographical maps, the ones put out by the government. They come in different scales, from 7.5 minute scale, 15. 30, 60, and 120. The first shows every gully, stream, hill, place names. I have a lot of the 7.5 maps of the area where I prospected for gold and quite a few of the other. A 120 minute map will stretch from Sacramento to Lake Tahoe and the border with Nevada. The gold country maps have all kinds og offbeat place names.

Also have maps pf different sectors of the U.S., and the world. Main source, National Geographic..
