Default How is you all?

Hello MLU-ers friends .....

I've been wondering how everyone is doing since I haven't been so active in here for some time and am out of touch with everyone and everything ... so thought I'd post and ask

I've been absorbed in my own little world happenings and non-happenings and am so FARRRRRRR behind in my research and projects (getting things written up re my Uncle and others) that I wonder if I will EVER get them done. Having a hard enough time taking care of myself and my home and am VERY glad no one can see the condition of my place

I'm also WAY behind in communications and keeping in touch with people personally and I apologize if any of you have been expecting to hear from me since long ago and you aren't hearing from me. I haven't been able to spend much time, at a time, at the computer because of bouts of rough stuff with the health, and thats mostly why.

BUT ... none of you are forgotten or out of my mind (I'm the only one out of my mind )

Thinkin' of ya's ...

Ma Yappy Karmen

A great change in my life ... the trees have sprouted their leaves and I haven't seen snow for a while, so I think winter is over I'd post some pics but my camera still not working until I can figure out why not and get it happening again. Haven't spotted any military old timer vehicles around to take pics of for you all anyways

Happy Spring to those of you in the parts of the world doing Spring right now

I thought you was just hybernating. Welcome back!
Cheers, Lynn.

Hi Lynn, thanks for a welcome back. I guess it's been a form of hybernation and it's unlikely over yet. I do check in MLU several times a day but can't sit much/long at a time and my posting/corresponding on a budget. I've spent a lot of of my typing time in another forum when I can sit (different kinds of conversations than in here) but I pay for the sitting and typing these days. This will pass eventually and maybe I'll be more active in here again soon ...........

PS: Cliff, the current temp is +2 feels like -1 with chill factor. We've had some days hitting close to, or even at +20 I think, but we aren't into the "trust above zero" part yet. I have seen signs of spring with the leaves, grass, flowers etc, so it's trying.

Been down to +4C here and I'm thinking of shifting north for the winter. For some reason the cold is hitting me harder this year.

Hi Ma, thanks for asking. I haven't been posting as much recently either. Our schedule to complete the Ethanol storage facility in Fort Worth has been shortened considerably. The original completion date Oct. 30th, has now been moved to Labour Day necessitating a change in our work schedule from 4 ten hour days to 6 ten-and-a-half hour days a week. By the time I get home, have a beer and watch the hockey game, it's time for bed! By the way, I am temporarily a Dallas Stars fan until my beloved Canucks are back playing again.


Derek.

Great to hear from you Derek, as we so rarely do in here these days, and now everyone knows why not ... you're a busy one for some time to come then ... just drop in now and again and say Hi so we all know you're still kicking and making mischief
