Short Notice

Fla._Deadheader · January 26, 2005, 03:06:27 PM

  Y´all better be ready for pics when I get back home. I am having a great time. Stayed with Fred and Amy Morgan in San Carlos. Went to the Finca and saw all the trees that they are growing. It is an impressive operation. Took what pics would hopefully show, while riding through the mtns. It is tough seeing the road because the clouds were low and hard to see through.

  I am going to the western part of Costa Rica tomorrow, for 3 days. I have Reina´s son, Victor driving me around. Reina was my friend Kens, girlfriend. He speaks NO English and I speak NO Espanol. We are having the time of our lives, trying to communicate.

  More later, Adios

Harold is going to get back to the states and forget how to speak English! :D

Thanks for the compliment Harold - now you all know that I actually am for real - and live here. Of course, I am sure I am much uglier in person - and everyone likes Amy and Ana.

Harold survived just fine one of Hector's death marches. We walked over the whole fince - I think it took about 3+ hours.

It was good to have Harold down, talking wood - comparing notes, etc. And now I actually know what a person who swims with gators looks like.

Imagine - a person who moves to a Central American country and a person who swims with gators in the same house. 8)

Buenos Dios, Senors y Senoritas. Como Estas?

I have found enough Wood, to make everyone on the FF drool. I have 25 Floppys of Photos. We found Tucas that are 6 feet in Dia. Have seen photos of Tucas that were 10 feet in dia!!!!!!

Look into GuanaCaste, Pochote, Cerro, Cedro Madre, Mango, Teak. There are many otros but those will give y`all an idea. Wish I had a shipping container handy!!!!!!!

What happened to the photo Gallery?????

Tom · January 30, 2005, 12:05:56 PM

It's a whole new site, Harold. New server, new software, .......new members :D

The Gallery is still attached to the old place and the road was bulldozed. Jeff will be dragging those surviving options out of the woods, along and along and trying to make them fit the new software. Until that happens you have to do some exploration and discover the "new" way of getting things done. Putting pictures on is easy. Two per post but you can get four.

Ckucj on "additional options" under the reply window. You will probably recognize the procedure. It is a pretty common one. on the Internet. ;D

Huh, Harold, you just called everyone "Good Gods", I think you meant good morning. :D Now, I know you hold the group in high esteem, but this seems a bit over the top.

Sounds like you survived your outing with Victor and still live - this is considered success here - on top of that you found wood - you can't ask for anything more.

Just so you all know, I did catch on the camera Harold in a shall we say, a uncharacteristic pose - It looks like he was hugging a tree. I sent it to his offspring so that they can handle him when he gets back. Granted, the old Corteza is a pretty interesting tree.

Well, Teri and Ed asked me to post this picture of Harold - I guess so you would all know he actually was wandering around Costa Rica.

Tom · January 31, 2005, 03:14:54 PM

Yep! He must've been there. I recognize him. What is that thing with the blue flag on it standing next to him though? :D

Teri · January 31, 2005, 03:34:29 PM

:D :D :D :D

Thanks Fred for postin the picture. Said he is having a good time down there.

Teri

crtreedude · January 31, 2005, 03:42:47 PM

You are welcome - of course, if he has too good of a time, we'll never get him to go home.

Let's see - swim with gators in water that's around 40 or spend your time over in Guanacaste, which is known for it's beaches. You might have to come retrieve him Teri.

Fred

Teri · January 31, 2005, 03:51:54 PM

I don't think soooo!!! ;D ;D

He's gotta come back to swim with the gators. Got a hot order brewing for cypress.

First try at this new image posting thingy.

Check out the new and improved version, compared to the other picture.

Need to take Tom to CR for 1 month. :D :D :D

QuoteJust so you all know, we had grits this morning. The shakes have stopped.
Thankfully Ana, our cook was not here - we will see what she thinks about them tomorrow.

Just leave those left over grits to dry in the pot and we'll see what she thinks of them! ;D

FDH, I think I know what your up to now...the coast there is full of ship wrecks. A many Spanish Galleon wrecked in those waters. A tree here a tree there, then a dive on the coast, a gold coin here and a bar of silver there...I envy you! ;)
