Noticed that the front page forum threads cover a time period going back to yesterday, early afternoon. Used to be this was a rolling scroll of postings.

What's keeping YOU away? Of course if you're not here you can't respond I guess. LOL

Is it the weekend (although the front forum page still seems slow to roll over on weekdays too lately)?

Hmmm ...

Oh well, I'm out too here in a sec. Good news / bad news ... the Bushhog I had out for repair came back this morning. No excuses for not clearing up the horse pasture now. So, I'm out for a good sunburn (not really, I do wear a hat). :-D

Work. Doing what I can to finish an RFP that is due on Tuesday...

Then I'm going to sorta disappear for three days - heading out on little train trip with the GF for her B-day.

To paraphrase Yogi Berra, the forums are so busy no one bothers to post anymore ...

FWIW my Saturdays generally mean doing chores and errands that I didn't have the time or inclination to do after work during the week. Sundays I try to avoid all and any obligations! I seem to post and be more active here during the week, after work.

Does it count if I'm always here, but rarely say anything?

I rarely post in the forums anymore except to offer my congratulations, condolences, or throw an occasional picture in the Scavenger Hunt thread because, really, it's no fun talking to myself.

Took one of my adolescent puppies to a lure coursing field trial, at which he qualified, so tomorrow (if no one else in the house requires my presence) I can get up at oh-dark-thirty to go back to the same field and enter him in competition. Well, it's exciting if you're into it ;-). I did get a few pictures of other dogs running, but it's impossible to hold onto an eager 170-pound dog till you hear the "tally-ho" AND hold onto a camera, so no pix of my boy running.

Hey! The firewood disappeared. :-) 2 1/2 cords is a lot. I can relate to THAT chore.

Computer was starting to brain fart, took it to factory settings. Now deleting all the crap, and installing programs I use.
I don't know why but everything seems over sharp and over sized, including type, so I have to work on that also.

Had a volunteer commitment today. I think I'm going to be in the local paper tomorrow (pictured and/or quoted). Damn reporter distracted me from a candid picture I was about to take of my wife next to a stuffed buffalo.

difficult to imagine what you might have said on such an occasion that would be quotable, but then you continually confound.

I was hoping this all went down at at some Native-American themed "farm to table" cook-out.

Being chased by monkeys and I would usually be delighted but the clouds are so dense I can't even get good pictures.

I'm being chased..... but not by monkeys.

Defying the laws of physics by getting more food than possible in the fridge and fighting off a cold.

Quiet today ... what's keeping YOU away?
Um, rare occasion.
Cherish it.
Nothing to say.
