Hello & How was your summer?
Hello PPOT,
Just got back from my 2 month summer vacation; spending this weekend moving back to the house from the cabin. Having all my kids (5) and grandkids (2) at the cabin this summer was a definite highlite for me!  Being without a computer for two months was another.....Ha, Ha! All in all, it was a great summer! How was yours? Cheers!  My Family: (L to R) Son, Blake; Daughter, Erin; Granddaughter, Brynn; Daughters, Jenny & Cathy; Grandson, Tegwyn; My wife Lynn; Me and my daughter Candace. Photo taken about mid-August at our summer home on Shuswap Lake.

Welcome back Rob! I could do with a 2 month vacation, looks like fun. Due to the WGA strike in Hollyweird It's been busy since March. A backpacking/fishing trip was all I could fit in.

How dare you show up fresh and rested. This is all hate all the time. Get up to speed and get some hate on. By the way, I'm envious, looks like a great time. My kinda fun.

Two months off, at one time. Wow, we in the US are a 3rd world country.

the correct spelling is "definIte" there's a word "finite" but no work "finate" as far as I know.

Rob,
Welcome back! We had a great summer in the backyard, enjoying our "staycation" since we have a pool and a hot tub in the back. The weather cooperated and we were able to drive the 911 a lot (with the top off, of course). Our kids are 16 and 12, so we're able to get out more often that when they were little. Great summer, I hate to see it over!

Welcome back Rob. Some of us posted here: How about a "What I did on my vacation" thread - at least it's a-political

Hey Bob,
Thanks and glad to hear you had a good summer. We should hook up next summer? Come up to the cabin for a few days/week; we love the company and you can't find a nicer spot in Canada 'eh. I actually own 7 computers; Ha. Ha. 4 at home here; 2 which are my personal PCs, a personal laptop and two satelitte offices, both with computers; so parking the box for two months is a tremendous challenge; but I force myself to make the break and so far; 8th summer in a row, I've had no computer at my cabin; not even my laptop for 5 minutes. It also shows a great respect for my wife and family when I crawl outa my office every summer! Cabin is about family, relaxing, recreation and of course Miller Time! You can take everything else away from me; but don't take my cabin. Actually, Lynn and I have just sold our cabin and bought one that is 4 doors down the beach; ha, ha. Our cabin was a rough cabin style retreat with 4 bdrms and 1 bathrm and we bought the one down the beach which has 5 bdrms and 3 bathrms, year round services and doesn't need any work. It's our retirement home as soon as I kick the last one outa the nest. Way cool. Talk to you soon, sorry for being a stranger. Cheers! |
