Oh God....why must this be?

Good to see you're not picky anymore - old guys like you need to take what you can get. P.S. Can I borrow that picture sometime

Happy Happy JR Ewing...hope your wife makes your b'day EXTRA special

I was expecting cats on a Segway. Weedy...you are definitely on the right track there - I remember that's what the guy said now. I think I have a good idea of where to concentrate my search for it - somewhere near the fan/blower unit and something that fits in there like a U. Kinda gross about the whole dust thing though.

Thanks Weedy - I"m gonna rip the doors off the front of the furnace today and see if I can't find it. I do know that it couldn't get sucked into anything - the filter is huge when it comes out - I remember it being like 3 foot by 2 foot and I remember the guy saying that, next to having a HEPA filter, it was the next best thing. Fat lot of good that is when I can't find it. But I'm sick of dusting twice a week so I have to figure it out somehow.

I've googled all morning and I can't find what I'm looking for. About a year ago we had our furnace and ducts cleaned. The guy showed me how to take out and clean our furnace filter but, for the life of me, I just can't remember how and what he did to remove it. I do know we have what's called a "permanent apron filter" that is somewhere in the furnace and it's supposed to slide in and out fairly easily. But we can't find it. Anyone else have this type of filter in their furnace and could possibly direct me to its location?

I don't know why, but that does bear some logic....doesn't mean I like it though!

14????? You're as old as my youngest. Happy Birthday homeslice. Love, Mom

OK....2 stories about teenagers driving their parent's cars....I'm pretty sure I'm gonna welch on my promise to take Hayden for his learner's permit now....

That's sweet Dube....really. Thanks. Sometimes I forget big picture. And BBT - I know that story wasn't about your brother either...and that it was a biography.

Hey Rick.....I went for an X-Ray on my arm today and I'll bet that the way it was twisted and turned hurt worse than your silly snow in the face Anyways....I think I have something that will satisfy both your desire for kite flying and skiing the next time you have the urge. We were in Steveston B.C. last summer (home of the BEST fish and chips ANYWHERE) and we took a walk along the beach. There was a huge field in the middle of an area with heavy winds and cross-winds and there were these guys who were flying kites and had these roller blade things on but they weren't rollers, they were like the conveyor belt things on tractors and dirt movers and stuff (I don't know what they're called...but you know what I mean right?) So it was like grass skiing and kite flying all at the same time. Some guys were in little go-karts doing it too. You cannot believe how fast these guys got going - was insane to watch! Lots of body armour on too - don't imagine it'd be pretty if you wiped out or hit someone.

Jensen ruffle feathers? No....he's so not all about that.

Guess what Dave did today. He spent the day youtub'ing Segway videos.

There's something to be said for combining insurance with the same co. We have our house and trailer insurance with the same company but there's no way they could touch my auto insurance quote that I have with someone else. I have never had a claim on any insurance EVER and our trailer insurance went up this year. I got the old "it's a standard industry increase bla bla bla". Wasn't much - just the principle of it that pissed me off. What REALLY makes me mad is my auto insurance. I pay SFA for my new vehicle (08 Outlook...about $1,058 a year). That's about to change REAL quick when Hayden gets his learner's permit. I don't know what it's gonna turn into but if it doubles you best believe I'm gonna do some yelling. I've been driving for 27 years - never an accident, speeding ticket or claim. I'm a gold star driver by their standards but it doesn't mean squat when you've got a driver under 25 in the house. Anything insurance makes me irate....all the money I've spent on premiums and I'll bet the day I make a claim it all goes to hell for me.

Somebody....anybody....who is the parent of a teenager. Please give me your worst story of the worst thing your teen has done. I need to feel good about my parenting skills today.

I WISH I broke my arm like that. That's cool. Taco - naked bacon frying? I can't even fathom the circumstances under which you would do such a thing. And no need to explain either

I'm sorry too. Dave doesn't suck. Durka Durka

Dave "I'm faking being up north so I could sleep in and not go to pancake breakfast" started the durka durka durka phase. Ordinarily I don't pay much attention to what he says, but I've been walking around saying this for the last 3 days for some reason and Mike had to go out tonite to get away from me. I think I have potential as a terrorist....ask Mike....he's seen the PMS. And, yep, I do believe I might be a little crazy. But in a good way. No need to be ascared. Durka.

That's great.....thanks Don. As if I needed even more justification/reasons to drink wine.

Looks like BBT's first day back at work in a month is a busy one But you're right. Dave does suck. Durka Durka Durka

Durka Durka Durka

Ruh Roh Raggy...this is going downhill real fast.

Thanks Rick! We had fun as well. Nice to sit and shoot the *hit with folks who come from long and far for a pancake or two! Just wondering - didn't anyone want one of my dogs????!!!!

You're pitchin' to break Barry White's record aren't ya?
