You shoulda seen Gimpy hopping about, beating his chest and whooping when he couldn’t get it working.  Ever when we said “Gimplander, the fire is IN the container” he was at a loss.  Very sad.

FYI
If you throw a rock towards Mexico, it is caught by someone skipping across the border, it never lands.

We do own pants.

It snowed on Valentines day in 2008 in Ramona. It was 38 when I took the boys to school this morning. They were wearing shorts, with jackets : )

38? Jackets? Apparently I’ve been away from Cali a bit too long…

Careful man, the Canadian started it . . . the cold is making them . . . a mite touchy . . .  cool grin  Let’s just toast their can-do pioneer spirit and gosh darn cute yankee (Californiankee?) ingenuity.

We have too many heroes lost and not enough workout days to commemorate them. I think it’s fitting to always think of the men and women in service, whether military or peace officers and public safety, as we do our workouts. A bit of motivation to throw a little of our sweat and maybe a drop of blood on the floor in their honor.

TP,
Let’s be careful about thinking Rip would be upset.  As I recall the Texans requested the heaters because at the cert in Oregon the Canadians complained about the cold.  Seeing as several Canadians were going to be at this cert, its safe to assume Rip was simply trying to keep them from continuing the tradition.

Waiting for the revelation that some parts of Canada are not as Canadian as others and are therefore not to be regarded as representative of the whole.

Yup,
They must have been from Victoria, BC, Canada.
Now there are some folk who wouldn’t even know how to build an igloo.
