G' Morn back at ya Syx.

It's supposed to be spotty rain here today, so I think I'll wash and detail the truck...just to guarantee it.

So I'm sure I'll be in and out all day as well. But today is my chili making day. Mmmmmm, chili. Slow cooked and extremely hot and spicy. I know that I'm destroying my guts...but it tastes sooooo good!

You are going to have stomach like a collander!

Good luck with the chilli!

a reply to: TDawgRex
You just be sure to keep the rain in yer area bud! I'm lookin forward to a warm sunny day here!
And Ahhhh, Chile!!! I've had the fixin's for some here, but been too lazy to make it! These two here like the way I make it, Naturally, and don't want to even try to match mine! LOL!!!
Hey, Been meanin to mention that My Bio Dad used to be head of the Weapons Manu Plant in Rock Island Illinois for over 30 yrs on Arsenal Island. He headed up the Howitzer Division. There's a park here in town that has one of the earlier models on display built in like 75' or so, everything welded of course so it is inoperable, but a nice piece of equipment none the less! I have a couple pics we recently took, if I can get em off the camera and online I'll post em.....

Nah...I've got a cast iron stomach...most days anyways.

Hot and spicy has quite a few nutrients as well, so it can be good for you. I have a tablespoon of Jalapenos every morning, so that and a cup of joe usually gets me up and raring to go.

Not always...but usually.

Ah...I'm familiar with the Rock Island.

Home of the Springfield Armory as well. I'm saving for a M1A for hunting, but it's slow going. Those things are pricey, and right now it's a "want", not a "need". Know what I mean?

Yah buddy, I'm familiar with Springfield Armory as well. And I know the 'Want' category very well too! LOL! That seems to be my longest list!
Hey, you got that hose runnin already? Seems we have some clouds passing by and clouding out my SunShine! WTF?!?!?!? LOL!!!!

Hi Everybody.

Hey Syxbud!
There's an old cannon lying half-buried under a stone wall over on "mysterious Island"!
That's on my list of "interesting local curiosities" to show the troops when they come over for the Gathering!

Strange?? LOL

Speaking of the gathering - HERES A wee taster Video from just outside my holiday flatThe lighting and camera phone quality are awful, but it gives you a rough idea of what it's like? - The little dark blob in the middle of the 2nd part is actually a Seal, sitting on a rock about 50 feet from me! (Just Filmed at the weekend!)

Sure Gordy, rub it in! LOL!! Just kiddin Bud! That is a kool piece of history there! Is it def a Lot older than the one I mentioned, I'd bet! LOL! Kool Kool old Cannon!!!

...and HERE is the Dr Who themed makeover I gave the flat for Last seasons end of Holiday season celebrations! (Everyone chooses a random theme and decorates their houses/flats just for fun!)

The TV in the bottom left window is showing a Dr Who video I made, celebrating all of the Doctors and their 50th anniversary - we tied it in with another local curiosity "Crocodile Rock" which was 100 years old the same year!
(And called the combined theme: "Croctor Who"!! LOL

Hiya Gordi! Those views look amazing! So peaceful!

Only problem is I doubt I would want to come back to Wales.

Hi Tsu!

It wouldn't be the home comforts I'd be worried about, it would be the spiders!

I mean it's not like I couldn't have a spa bath in a cave.

Hiya Jane, I'm a bit away with the faeries too lol.

Cheers me dear!

PS...hehe...there's a Wine Bay....bottle of red and some nice cheese and bread half way round on the bike ride me thinks!


We'll be well at home Tsu....

The Gaelic name Cumaradh means "place of the Cymric people", referring to the Brittonic-speaking inhabitants of the Kingdom of Strathclyde.[1]

Yay! There are standing stones!

A geothermal hot spring bath, in a cave? I mean, how much win can you pack into a sentence, without including words like "defenestration", and "Ballistic tracheotomy"?

You planning your own itinerary there Jane??? LOL (From memory, I think there's only one standing stone, but I can certainly take you there no probs. (It's very near to the route I'd take, to walk you guys over the top of the Island!))
Cool!

a reply to: angelchemuel

There's loads of rock stuff Jane, I just had a look on Gordi's link, there's loads of different rock formations. I'm thinking of stealing 30 little pebbles hehheh. Runes plus spares if I lose any.

What sort of crystals will you be selling? Do you have anything for psychic protection?

a reply to: TrueBrit

Hi True!

Hehe, I'm thinking of cashing in my return ticket and spending the cash on cave decos. Squatters rights and all that. I could be a professional hermit!
