I am enjoying this beautiful day outside...really gorgeous outside today. The cat is sitting in the open window and the dog is outside on the grass. Ah, warm weather brings warm memories.

Hopefully your dog eats some grass and vomits on capos shoes.
That would set your tank back atleast 3 years.

I've been out bonzai'ing my Japanese maple in my front landscaping. It was looking more like a blob rather than a tree last year, so I decided to open it up a little. My back yard is a mess. I lost alot of grass last year to high temps and little rain. And if my wife's bid for disability doesn't go through, I may very well have to get looking into that selling of a house business. :(

I was really scared to open this thread up, I was worried it would be a pic of Nook in his underware in a lawnchair.

I love nothing more than spending a beautiful spring day in a cubicle with no windows.

I did get to enjoy the sun for a little while from my car with the windows and sunroof open, when I ran to the gym over my lunch break. It really sucked coming back inside. :( A beautiful day, and a Friday no less... I am spending my afternoon clock-watching.

Yeah, she lapped it up and smiled a bunch, then she ate a cheeseburger. She is a great old dog and I know that Ann is really relieved that we are not putting her to sleep yet.

we totally do that!
i'm the sole programmer for the company, and the sys admin guy went to high school with me. together we are the IT department. (small company)
when it's time to throw away old things, like printers, computers, monitors, we take them out to the dumpster cage and beat the CRAP out of them.

Stuck in a cube myself today. I'm thinking about replacing a few of the fluorescent lights above my head. Maybe a 10,000K and an actinic...what do you think?

I was thinking of putting in MH over my cube — it could use some shimmer, and it is ALWAYS freezing in here.

Well while you cubicle workers complain about not being out, I'm going to complain about being out. My "office" is on wheels, I've got WAY to much sun beamming through my window"s". No matter which way I turnned, Blam! Here take this to your eyes, and Pow! Right to the eyes again! Oh and how about when some car jumps in front of me and the glare burns into my retna blinding me for the next few min. Oh yes it was so nice outside today, The sun was popping in and out. Funny how every time I stepped out of the truck, the sun went away and it rained. Ofcoarse I was at work so maybe this could be the reason I seemed to be having a bad day. LOL You want out.....I say, let me in, let me in!

With spring comes baseball! My daughter had her first baseball practice today, and she loved it. I gave her my first glove, which my father gave me, so it was kind of special. That glove is older than I am, and I am 41!

I love spring and summer...

Tornados and hail - get those cars out in the driveway if you need a new skimmer or lights...

The lenghts that some folks will go to for this hobby makes me wonder.

There MUST be a stronger term for this hobby than addiction or obsession.

I recall that my mother was using some very strong terms when I sold her to get enough money to buy my sump but I don't think they will let me use them in this forum.

How much does an older woman go for these days?

As with cars, the high milage ones are cheaper. Unlike cars, the ones with spare tires are also cheaper.

What can I say ....all that time spent at Nooks has damaged me! I used to believe that water should be in there......really, I did!
