4. Fixing my bicycle
Got a damn flat tire while riding Saturday. I have a spare bike but I prefer the one with a flat tire. I just don't feel like messing with it now

But I'll just wait until I'm in a rush and trying to get out the door for school.
I'm an adrenaline junkie.

29. Well, it's like this.
Harleydad finished work and took me away from it all. So I'm afraid I'll have to pass on the ironing ... although I would have LOVED the chance to help out. Next time, just get the order in before I take off for parts unknown, OK?

:rofl:

16. That sounds like hard work.
We had two nights of freezing weather here in the desert. Now I'm waiting to see what citrus trees may have survived. I won't be able to tell for a few weeks when they hopefully start growing again.

19. A lot of our tree's
broke apart badly...I got a lot of brush to clear...all of its out of the road, so its not hampering traffic. But, I want/need to get all the brush concentrated in one spot, so I can

1. Burn it offf

2. Save some for our wood stove.


Near our creek line...its murderer's row, for tree's...You would need a handful of loggers/chainsaw's, just to clear a path....

20. Ouch. I saw some of that storm on the news.
It looked really bad. Did you lose power too? 'Cause that wood stove sounds like a good thing to have in bad weather.

I've been contemplating getting soup in a bread bowl. I've been getting that alot lately, but I can't think of anything else I'd want. That and it's a "balmy" 20-something degrees outside...or maybe 30-something...

53. And I was thinking temps in the 50's were chilly.
I'm spoiled by the weather here in AZ.
I was from PA originally. I don't think I could handle winter back east any more. If it was in the 20's here I'd be eating hot soup while sitting in a hot bath. I'm such a wimp. :)
