  1. Careful bro, remember @Drew Espinosa is one of his minions. I foresee glitter nukes ...
  2. What?!? Who's a lady? I mean she's my WQ sis I should know something like that right.
  3. Lookin' good. You've still got that mischievous grin.
  4. It became rainy here too and only got up to about 47/8° so it has a raw damp chill feel to the day. Not very conducive to accomplishing much. Though we now have most of the Christmas decorations packed away until next year. I've got the makings for beef barley soup simmering in the crockpot and a loaf of sourdough French bread I'll warm in the oven to serve as tonight's supper.
  5. Was he any help? I meant posting the chapter.
  6. That Mr. Corker seems a right corker but he loves his horses. I thought it interesting he saw Duke and Molly as being of equal value. I've often encountered studs costing more because of their ability to sire more colts than a mare can bear. Too bad we missed their purchase of the land. Might have proven entertaining. I like that while the lads might make purchases separately as a precaution they view what they have as shared. Will there be one house or two? I suspect just one along with one barn for this winter as there too much work to do to devote time to building a house they don't need.
  7. It took years to grow into that tangle so it's likely to take a bit of time to undo. Any progress is still progress.
  8. I suspect the Imperial Dreadnoughts will soon be sailing just off the western coast of Ireland.
  9. I didn't know Johannes Gutenberg printed the first issue of 1984. Do you still have that First Edition?

    Chapter 3

    I had hoped it would be otherwise ... It seems that Eddie is meant to be Aric's future.
  11. That may be the "official" version maintained for historic purposes but those of us there know the TRUTH and the truth shall set us free ...
  12. Oh no, you're much older ... er, I mean mature, yeah you're a much more mature codger.

    Chapter 1

    I remember putting away hay. We would space the bales to allow airflow and scatter rocks salt on them. In the event one of the bales would combust the fumes from the burning salt would smother the fire before it could do any damage. My grandfather had an old Allis-Chalmers tractor that started with a handcrank. Dad tired of having to crank it and bought a small used Ford though the old tractor remained until the farm was sold. I can relate to Aric having come of age a couple years later in the early 70's.
  14. Hmmmph. Well, next time the fog is rising off the pond I'm gonna try some of my own imagining ... I just hope what I imagine isn't part alligator.
  15. Sumthin's fishy ...
  16. Stop imagining ... wait ... are you saying he's just a figment of your imagination caused by the early winters morning light on the fog?
  17. And, there was plaid. Damn my head hurts too much ... lad did you forget your coat again?
  18. Okay you two. So I had a senior moment and my head really hurts. I had the first and last letters correct and the right vowels, even if they were in the wrong order. It was just the middle consonants that I screwed up. In my head I was imaging the hunky guy sleeping next to Page. Wait! That's not quite the way I meant it. I wasn't wasn't actually imagining Morgan and Page in bed ... just, I knew who I meant.
  19. Soon it will be hockey season, 56 fast and furious games played mostly against your local rivals and apparently, the Canadians are staying north of the border.
  20. I'll have a bowl please, wait is it bourbon, Irish, rye or scotch? What do you mean ... Canadian?
  21. Doesn't Morgan ever call you "baby"?
  22. How is it fake news if you're the one who said it first? I like to think of it as historical scholarship and reporting on the early years of his Imperial Excellence.
