Not my fault!

[Jeff]

The Network the Forum server is on has been down all morning. I dont know why yet and I dont know if were back for keeps yet, but were back!

[ronwood]

If you need any assistance please give me a call.
Thought it was my problem with my firewall.

Whew!  That was a rough mornin' witout da forum.......plowed snow while waiting.
Good to be back. ;D

[Radar67]

YES, I was startin to have withdrawals.  ;)

Stew

[SwampDonkey]

I got by unscathed, I was doing taxes at the time.  : I owe some, but it's not too painful. ;D

[Jeff]

Nothing I can do Ron, but thanks.   The outage included 360,000 domains. I only had about 30 calls this morning wanting to know why their email was broke.   Its just one of those things, like when the lights go out, your at someone elses mercy to get it fixed.

[Woodcarver]

Glad it's back.  My fingers were beginning to tremble.  Early stages of withdrawal, I think.    

I see the other Stew typed faster than I did.  Same thought.

[SwampDonkey]

Don't everyone type in here and hit 'Post' at once, you'll blow the place to kingdom come.  :D :D :D :D

While here all the afternoon.    ;D

Welcome everyone to the renewed forum!  ;D

Nope, got a generator fer just such occasions...........  ;D

Hmmm, maybe it's like my DVR, I should record a bunch of FF stuff to read if it goes down again.  :

[wesdor]

Well that explains why I couldn't get on at 6:30 this morning.  Thanks for informing us Jeff.

Glad to know things are working better.  We had quite a storm here in Illinois and were without power for nearly 12 hours.  From what I hear more than 100,000 people were without for a while.  Some are still without power today.  It is quite a mess.  I'm glad for the power company people who are working many long hours.  We are most thankful to have electricity again and a warm house. 

[SwampDonkey]

Another nice sunny day up here and 32 this afternoon. You guys just keep them storms south. ;D

[DWM II]

Just glad she came back up befor 4:30. I'd been bad off if I couldnt unwind with the forum.

[thurlow]

I understand that families with kids or that live in multi-story homes have a designated meeting place in case of a fire or other disaster so they can count heads and make sure everyone's alright.  Maybe we should do the same.   ;D

[Kevin]

That's a good idea, let's meet at Nobles.  ;D

[Furby]

That works for me! 8)

[fat olde elf]

Not a problem for me.....I do not get up early since I stopped working for others....
I get a lot of flack from my friends about sleeping in........I figure they are just jealous...  Interesting to see the cast of charaters who are on very late at night....
Keep up the good work Jeff................

[DanG]

I get a lot of flack from my friends about sleeping in

I don't get flack, I just get phone calls.  Caller: "What are you doing?"  Me: "Well, I was sleeping, but don't worry about it.  I had to get up and answer the DanG phone, anyway." >:(

[pigman]

I sure wish I could sleep in. :( I can't sleep in because my wife gets up at 5:30am and makes all kinds of noise putting wood in the stove and fixing breakfast. I have been known to take a little nap when she goes off to work though. ;) ;D

  After 17yrs 18yrs (as of today) of working 3-11pm (or so) on weekends and 21+yrs of ~8am-6:30pm on weekdays during the landscaping season nobody is ever sure when is a good time to call here.  This time of the year I tend to drift into a nocturnal lifestyle.

[SwampDonkey]

I don't work for anyone else, but I don't sleep a lot. I seem to be ready to go after 5 or 6 hours of sleep. In the long daylight times of year I'm up early, a lot of times before 6. If I want to mow the lawn I get up real early before it gets hot. But, I get up whenever I feel like it otherwise. Sometimes I take an afternoon nap.

[OneWithWood]

I can't go to Noble's.  I am afraid of his dog 

[Tom]

Did Noble pick the "Right" dog?  :D

[Bro. Noble]

Well, Tom,  it appears to be doing it's job :D :D

Just kidding,  Robert,  I hope you do pay me a visit some day.  I enjoyed that breakfast with you and your lovely wife and the very special people who were with us.

[OneWithWood]

Bro. I do hope to get over your way.  I will wear my extra heavy leathers  ;)
You know I think about that breakfast from time to time.  Especially Mark M.   Some good memories.

[Tom]

Keep him on your left, Br'er Noble.

MarkM left a lot of good memories. I wish I could have been at your breakfast too.

I don't think there will ever be another MarkM.

[Bro. Noble]

Well, Tom,  with OWW, Mark M, and Paul H and his son Tom all at the same table,  it was sure something I'll never forget 8) 8)  I hope to see them all again someday----including Mark

[SwampDonkey]

So what was this thread about?  :D :D :D ;D

[thurlow]

Even though I "stir the pot", I don't even like grits.   ;D

[sawguy21]

Grits ??? ??? What dat? ;D

[Tom]

Well, it started out being an announcement that the forum was down.  But, currently it was a reminiscence by some older forum members about our beloved, deceased friend, MarkM.
