Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

Okay Eric, what jokes can be made about rhubarb???

You will wish you hadn't asked ...


Little Emily watched in fascination as Kevin cleaned up after the big horse.
Uncle Kevin, what are you going to do with all that poo ?
Well, I will take it to the corner of the field, stack it in a big heap and leave it to rot down for about 6 months, then put it on the rhubarb.
Really ? said Emily. We put custard on ours.


Little Emily was playing with her friend Rhubard when the cart broke loose. The brave stick of rhubarb pushed Emily safely out of the way, but poor Rhubarb was squashed. There was juice everywhere. The limp Rhubarb was rushed to hospital, where the doctors did all they could to save him. Eventually the surgeon came out, sat down beside a red eyed Emily and gave her shoulder a squeeze.
Is, is Rhubard going to survive ? The surgeon gave a sad smile and nodded.
Emily looked up, wiped away the tears and asked - Can he talk ? Can he walk ?
I am so sorry Emily, Rhubarb will be a vegetable for the rest of his life.

There is another one about Emily throwing Rhubarb into a big bowl of pineapple and orange juice, with a good splash of rum - but I forgot the punch line.

Good morning. Good to hear you all survived all those bullets raining down on the 1st January. That's one thing that doesn't happen in the UK, either because we are more densely populated, or because firearm owners here just aren't that dense . Actually, if anyone tried that here and got caught, they would have their guns confiscated and face 5 years in jail.

The wind has really got the wood burning range in our kitchen roaring this morning. It was the same yesterday, burning twice as much wood as usual, even with the flue damper mostly closed. No one complaining as it's now cold enough to appreciate the additional heat given out in windy weather.

42 and cloudy. Our vfd had that one horrible call last night. "House on fire people trapped inside." We were the 3rd station there luckily everyone got out before FD arrived, only one injury smoke inhalation. House was on the ground , Trailerhouse with attachments. Nap later . Zzz

Stealing Eric's phrase, only 3 more sleeps till Internet service connect. (Plus one nap)

Don hope your Dad heals quick, good luck on getting Internet back.

Buppies, hope your back and shoulder heals soon.

Kev nice looking horse, have fun with him.

Kyle great news on the car, hope the short block holds up.

Drew, too bad they can't fix your tooth as fast as you clean up your Christmas decorations. BTW my stepdaughter reports clove oil helps with pain. She puts a drop or two on a q-tip then bites down on the hurting tooth for a minute or so.

Farmer how is boy's hearing progressing?

Larro have fun at new camp
