So good to hear from our NOTHING brother, Nucky, last night. Can't wait until his various projects are over and he is back to his normal routine. I was wondering how the swimming has been going with all of this extracurricular activity. Glad to see you can still get some swim time in. Swim to Cuba? Not for NOTHING, but I think that is out of the question.

Yes let's hope Nucky's sentence/project is up soon. Everyone needs to get back to NOTHING

I have a great pool here but it’s not the same. I want to travel to Cuba soon because it appeals to us. After that the furthest I want to go is a Lake Sumter. Maybe I’ll swim to Cuba? I’m all over the place even for me cause I’m sleep posting. Forgive me. Hi FW & Chef Tom.

Guess what this post is missing? NOTHING that’s what. lol

Darn, K, you never cease to amaze me with your ability to catch what we all overlook. Well, at least it is very evident how much you're needed doing NOTHING, so be careful out there.

Abby10 08-07-2018 07:41 AM

You know me though, I would have made the excuse for him that he was about to add a NOTHING but fell asleep before he finished. Still a softy - NOTHING's changed.

Here's a nothing story. A long time ago I was teaching electronics and 2 students, Junie Copeland and Ozgar Ozba were working in the back of the room on their project. I kept a radio back there and sometimes played music. One day one of my students made an FM transmitter that worked with the radio with the volume down low. I was in the front of the room with the mic and I cold see their backs and hear what they were saying. In a low, deep voice I said "Junie" like I was a ghost. His head snapped but he didn't know where it came from. So I did it again. Junie tells Ozgar the radio is talking to him. Ozgar says "You crazy." I do it again. He tells Ozgar again. He shakes his head. So now I say "Ozgar" and Junie tells Ozgar "the radio wants to talk to you."

I couldn't stop laughing and then I imagined myself in a principal meeting with Junie explaining to his folks why I was trying to make a fool out of their son. So I showed them what I did and kept Junie for the next period so he could pull it on 2 students in the next class.

You taught such cool subjects. I always did so much better in the subjects that interested me like math and science but had to struggle a bit to learn the subjects that bored me. My sister used to be NOTHING but jealous because I did not have to study very much to do well and she had to work so hard.

That is the funniest NOTHING story yet! You had to be one of the most beloved teacher in many of these students lives.

Thanks for sharing......on NOTHING, none the less.

Nucky 08-07-2018 12:29 PM

NOTHING doing. In recovery mode today. All gas, car, household, personnel is accounted for at this time.

Abby10 08-07-2018 01:14 PM

I have seen people (both women and men) over the years who take their knitting/crocheting/cross stitch with them to meetings or gatherings and work on it while they are there. Today while I was out and about I came across a bumper sticker that said -

"If I'm not knitting, I might kill somebody"

So does anyone want to elaborate on that, or should I consider it NOTHING?

Certainly NOTHING I would want to do so it wasn't my car.

Lol.....not me either! I guess some people use it for NOTHING but to calm their nerves or to repress anger according to that bumper sticker.

I missed this earlier. Are you NOTHING but my sister?!? When I was up visiting her recently we were talking about this very subject. I was telling her that I always felt she was smarter than me even though she never finished college. She said she obviously was since I always studied so hard to get the grade and she didn't have to. No humility in my family.....:ohdear:

Anything involving logic I could always ace, anything that required memorization I could memorize, pass a test and then NOTHING but promptly forget since my brain deemed it non essential after that.

Abby10 08-07-2018 07:09 PM

So the countdown begins. Not sure if I'll be able to stay up for our fearless leader's check in tonight - early morning and long work day for me tomorrow. But knowing me if I do fall asleep early and end up waking up in the middle of the night, I'll probably have to check in to be sure he is NOTHING but okay. It looks like weather conditions may not be in their favor out there and I think the winds are going to pick up in the next few days. Maybe he can tell us more........:pray:

I'm afraid it may be NOTHING but a long haul for him. Looks like a very active season. Hoping I am wrong.

You are NOTHING but correct. Triple digit temp with relative humidity in the low teens for the next two days. Then a dry cold front moves in Saturday which will bring the winds and possible lightning. I think we’re in for a wild ride.

You are also NOTHING but correct. Fuel moistures are already where they should be a month from now. At today’s briefing they said the probability of ignition (pig) is at 90%. That basically means if an ember hits it it will ignite. It already feels like a long season.
On the bright side after 14 days I get 2 days off. The first day off is driving home. The second day off is driving to the next fire. lol

I just woke up! Saw no email notification that you had posted and I temporarily panicked. Gee whiz, it is like we're married...... lol.

Glad to see you are back safe. You will be NOTHING but in my thoughts and prayers in the upcoming days......

Abby10 08-08-2018 04:54 AM

Good morning, everyone. It's Wednesday, August 8th. I don't know about you, but I think the month is NOTHING but flying by. Probably because I still have a lot to catch up on around here from being away.

A long day ahead for both me and the Kommander, although I'm glad I am not walking in his shoes. Drink, drink, drink is the order for the day. Good thing I don't have your cell phone #, K, because the beeping reminders between me and Mrs K would probably drive you crazy.....lol. Hope she is holding up okay. I know it must be difficult for her worrying about you. :pray: for both of you.

Nucky, hope you had a more restful day yesterday and the countdown until your project is completed goes by quickly for you. It will be good to have you back in full swing here.

Fw and tomwed, hope you guys can keep the ship moving forward today. You both did a good job yesterday. Not easy with half of NOTHINGVILLE too busy with other activities.

Tomwed, looks like you got your mojo back as far as your wit, good humor, and story telling capabilities. You had some really funny stories both in NOTHINGVILLE and "out on the road" (on other threads) - lol. Btw, what WERE you thinking about regarding those after 11pm movies at the Barnstorm? I had some thoughts, but wasn't sure if we were thinking the same.

Have a great day everyone!

fw102807 08-08-2018 06:11 AM

Two years ago today we arrived in The Villages after driving for two days with our two dogs. NOTHING but a distant memory now. Stay safe K you need to make this trip though yours will probably be in a plane.

Kenswing 08-08-2018 06:24 AM

NOTHING morning check in. See you guys tonight.

We’re a great gang of pals. Have a safe day Kenswing.

FW, think about all we went through to get to The Villages! As for us it was NOTHING more than 10,000% worth it.

It reminds me of a rough closing on a house. Once you have the loot all the rough things are instantly forgotten.

Yesterday in one day we had, White Castle, Pizza, Surf & Turf for dinner, I had to pass on that, Surf & Turf. Had it for breakfast instead. Life is NOTHING but hectic and good.

:pray: for safety.

Nucky 08-08-2018 03:24 PM

Now your talking to me. I am gonna go for a ride past Coleman soon. I love that dopey little Golf Cart.
There is talk about a 4 person facing front happening soon. NOTHING but waiting for the Green Light. Now that light is just Amber. Keep the Coleman thing on the Down Low, as of now it’s just a thought. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

That is what I originally wanted but then we decided rather than to have to drive the extra long one we could just rent. Trouble is sometimes when people visit you can't find them for NOTHING.

You have NOTHING but friends to visit there......hmmm?

tomwed 08-08-2018 08:57 PM

Does anyone else have a nothing story from the past to share?
This comes to mind.
I stood a good part of the day behind a charge out desk with the librarian in a library. I fixed computers and she did the book stuff. Teachers brought their classes to the library and came to the desk sometimes just to vent while the kids were online doing research. In the building we had drop ceilings and maintenance gave me an extra ac vent they had. So when a teacher came up and started the conversation with "I can't believe it, do you know what just happened to me?" I would stop them---put the ac vent on the charge out desk and ask them if they would like to vent.

lot's of laughing---

There is an entire gang of Qtip Heads. NOTHING No plan it just sorta happened. Great people, thru trial and error we realized the age old, No Politics, No Religion thing should have been followed from jump street as several of the gang members :1rotfl:are misguided. (THAT IS HUMOR) :1rotfl: :popcorn:

We got chased off the mountain today. For some reason this is the highest priority fire in the country right now so we have plenty of resources. We had enough available air tankers to lay down a six mile long line of retardant. Pretty impressive.

For you math wizards. How hot is the inside of a porta potty when it’s 105 out? NOTHING but hot that’s how hot.

I miss my Cart! :) That was my point.

I got my first idea just how hot it is on the Disney backlot studio ride that showed the special effects ride that went by fire. My husband said multiply that by 10 and picture standing in it for hours. NOTHING I could have done. Stay safe K we are keeping the light on for you.

No worries, Nuckster, I got what you were laying down there. As usual, I was just joshing you. I know how much you love those cart rides, and swimming in those TV pools, and everything about TV life. It's all so easy to love!

And I agree with you about Coleman and the new areas. NOTHING to worry about. I've lived within a mile of a large county prison for 32 years now, no problem. If someone ever does break out, they aren't going to stick around close to the area. After all, they don't call it "on the run" for NOTHING!

Kenswing 08-09-2018 06:45 AM

110 predicted for today. I’m going to NOTHING but melt. See you guys tonight.

Ouch that is NOTHING but HOT. No complaining from me the rest of the summer. Any time I get the urge to do so, I'll just think of K out there and humble myself.

I was watching some video last night and viewing some pictures of the area where K is stationed. I really need to be careful about what I do right before going to bed at night. I had a dream that my husband and I were out hiking on a mountain and suddenly right ahead of us was a raging fire. My beautiful, calm dream turned into a run for your life nightmare. :ohdear:

Anyway, it's Thursday, August 9th......have a good one everyone!
