Charlie's little weather station recorded 42mph wind last night. Could hardly open the door without the wind trying to take it off the hinges. Got up this morning and had about 6 inches of sand blown in around the bikes and trailer tires. It was hitting the windows with a constant tap tap tap ! Sure was nice this morning though.

I want to see it too!!!

Don't think he needs that much help.

All I can say is WOW, good thing I have Charlie for entertainment. I don't know if he likes enchiladas, Chimmy Chongas he really likes, Skyz, Che Che?

Tim, I think we ended up with 8 boxes last year, I'll do the same this year.

Ha Ha it will only get worse !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Na Cheese, I'm too lazy to kick anybody's I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHO THE HELL THIS CHEESE GUY WAS

First and formost I'd like to thank Mike, Beth (hot pocket)and her boy friend for the great Sierra samich! Can't thank you guys enough for helping us out!! That was really ugly before you came. Funny now but not then. Good weekend, got to meet some new people and saw some that we hadn't seen in awhile. Beth you can burp better than ANYONE I have ever met!! Good girl! I really need to hone my skills. Got Charlie to try Jager, me I'm the 3 second drunk, thanks Mike for pointing that one out. All in all it was a great weekend, lots of sleep, good food and my daughter came out with her husband and my grankids.

Hot dam! I get money for the worst poker hand and a picture on DDR home page! Thats a pretty good way to end the year!

Got nuthin, Charlie and I don't do x-mas we just give to the kids and grandkids. Don't do Anniv. or B-day either. If you want it, go get it yourself nobody knows better what you want than yourself. Make sense? Besides "I HATE SHOPPING" Takes me 3 days just to work up the grocery store!!

Nice relaxing weekend. Pretty quite though.

Just talked to Charlie, he is half way home from OHIO. Don't know if he'll be up for the Christmas trip? We'llsee. 4,000 mile trip driving is a little rough on an OLD man! Most definately for New Years.

MERRY CHRISTMAS BACK AT CHA COLE, JULIE & AVA as well as everyone else !!!!! But your girl is better looking than mine JIll, Chaz & Pepper

HEY MIKEY!!!!

Now I don't know? Charlie, I think wants to get home from Ohio before X-mas. I sure hope so, I kinda miss the little a-hole. X-mas? New years for sure!

All our kids are grown and gone with families of their own. If they want lights and trees they can do it at their house and we will visit them. No mess no fuss SOOOOOOOOO Much easier!!

Really glad to hear it Randy!! Is that his official screen name now? "GRIMDART"

Add 2 old coots for the peanut gallery

Should find out today.

Talked to one of the boys earlier, at this point they are in a motel room and don't have any place to put anything. They are looking for a place to rent right now. I have told them that there is help available when ever! Until they here some news they can't even get into the shop to see what tools they might be able to salvage. No tools for a mechanic means a mechanic has a hard time rebuilding his buisness cause he can;t work on the vehicles, hense a tough road. To everyone I thank-you for the offers and will pass on the offers, along with our own.

Not alot of people know that Charlie has twin boys that live in North Pole, Alaska. And yes they do take after their father, when they are all 3 together I just run for cover!(seriously). anyway the day after Thanksgiving they had a fire at their business/house. A total loss! 4 adults and our 5 grandkids ( 6mo.-9 yrs)lost everything in a major fire at 1 AM in 15 degree weather. The boys got everyone out and then called 911. Everyone is fine other than it's kind of a kick in the head to have everything you've worked so hard for destroyed right there in front of you. Just always remember to appreciate what you have no mater if it's a little or alot you could loose it in a minute! KEEP YOUR FAMILY CLOSE, LOVE AND APPRECIATE THEM ABOVE ALL. 4,000 or 5,000 miles away really stinks!

GLAMIS WAS AWSOME 10 days worth. Just got in about 30 minutes ago

Here it is "THE BIGGEST LOSER" But it was still $75! No complaints! Just had a great weekend. Thanks everyone. 80grit, was that you standing next to us? Thanks for the picture, now I can rub it into the hubby "who got the money honey" :ahhhhh: :ahhhhh:
