I couldn't find a goat.

I wish I could have gone up there too guys ... but I think that driving 17+ hours ONE WAY to go to Chili's for a couple of hours would make me seem "CRAZY" (er). I was mostly funnin' with you guys since you were basically almost posting coordinates to where your meeting would be. And you KNOW what happens when COORDINATES get posted. Never know WHO might show up!

from right to left. Red dragoon and family, TN, Cab, Gem, and 04MINI
Cab looks like she's about to get somethin' started. *imagine Michael Jackson's "BAD"* "You know I'm BAD, I'M bad... you know it... ya KNOW!"

Looks like y'all had a great time with your MINI posse. For some reason though... RD's wifey looks familiar to me.

Uhoh, I was thinking about Kiki last night too!!! Was wondering where she is,,,etc. etc. we will have to search for her and see if she's posting anywhere else and entice her back to the Freeb's corner!!

Let's see if the pics work now???????????
So these are the pics from "hub of Cab"?

What?!? No eyebrow/eye/forehead shots? Geez!!

Now that I can actually SEE the faces of you guys... RD's wifey doesn't look familiar anymore.

Good morning freebies! You will note that it is 7:30 am on the west coast on a Saturday morning and I... am awake.

Mugen does not know the meaning of "Saturday" but I promise you, he shall learn.

Just sayin' "hi".

And Cab- you have permission for sassing!


RG- Funny how pets are alarm clocks, 'eh? Too bad they don't have the calendar thing figured out yet.



Last night I had to do a "sleep study". I'm going to have to get one of those friggin' Darth Vader masks. "LUKE... I am your FATHER!"

Welcome to the world of sleep apnea!

Deb and I both have had to put up with the portable air compressors for several years now. Once you get used to it (should take ant wheres from 2 weeks to a couple of months) you won't believe how good you'll sleep. I used to snore SOOO loud I would wake myself up and could still hear the sound echoing around the house.

pics as promised.

Found a pic from around 1994. I'm the kid on the right.



I found one from my first year out of HS (if that counts?). I still have the same Jeep over 11 years later!



And the current pic is from my last trip to my field offices. Some of you probably have seen this one already - I was having issues catching a flight back home, so the crew out there thought about putting me on a freight plane.

Ola,,, you are too funny!1 I agree with what Hal said. I have been begging hubby to go for a sleep study for years now. I literally can watch and hear him stop breathing for waaaay too long of a period of time.

I will be interested in hearing how long it takes you to adjust. And if it makes a difference in how you feel. I hear REALLY positive stuff about that Darth Vador mask,, grrr makes me frustrated with hubby all over again!!

and since I have permission to "sass" heh heh heh

Gem- Yes, hubby will email you those pictures, he is away til tomorrow night - he is certifying 6 student in Open Water Scuba and it takes 2 full days of testing. I am going up tomorrow am to snag some sun and blow a few bubbles myself!!
PM me your email addy and we will get working on it ASAP ( next week, that is!)

AK- love the shots - I agree with Cab, you look like a baby face!!! So I think it will do, OLA you the final judge!

Hubby had major problems snoring and almost had surgery until he got divorced from his ex.... yeah that came out wrong!!! Turns out he was very allergic to cats and ex had many.
He no longer snores. but I do agree with you Cab sometime I can here him stop breathing, once I hear that I can't sleep thinking he won't start breathing again! Frightening silence!

OLA, keep us informed on how you do.

MINIxB, NEW MINI, WHAT DID I MISS? PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES....HELLO.....

Hi to all, I'm tired and going to bed early just got back from an all day long picnic. Beautiful day today!!!

Um, thanks? Sometimes I wish I could look a bit older. There have been a few times where the cops have stopped me on some of my late night walks - reason? They thought I was underage and breaking the curfew law that's in effect during the school season!!!

Xb- congrats on the new mini... that's da bomb! Big D, you are... well... there's a reason why you got so much applause in the hunks in minis thread...
And Hal and all who are wearing or about to wear the sleep apnea masks, my mom wears one and hte first time I saw her in it I laughed and said, Mom, you look like the bastard lovechild from the union of a Space Alien and a Vacuum Cleaner...

She wasn't amused :P

Oh I forgot specs: Lightening Blue/White Cooper S with cold weather, premium, armrest and rubber floor mats. I love him. Got him with 6 miles on him and now has over 100. Hadn't stopped motoring except to feed our dogs since I got him...of course until I had to come home and try to go to sleep which isn't working very well right now because I keep thinking about my new car....
