Chasms Champion Author Orange County Posts:22,541 Points:1,994,140 Joined:Aug 2005	Message Posted: May 23, 2013 11:24:49 AM Ignore Chasms Report Abuse I have a correction to my last message: "Would one of you good GasBuddies please do me a major BIG favor by asking Psycho Sid to please look for/answer a "buddy request" from Chasms." That would be SO appreciated- not to feel ignored continually. Thanks So Much.
Chasms Champion Author Orange County Posts:22,541 Points:1,994,140 Joined:Aug 2005	Message Posted: May 23, 2013 11:03:00 AM Ignore Chasms Report Abuse Good morning all GasBuddies from 61º So-Cal where at least we do see the sun popping its head out finally. Would one of you GasBuddies please do me a major BIG favor by asking Psycho Sid to please look for a "buddy request" from Chasms. I never asked him to be my buddy til about a week ago; but I still get ignored. That would be ULTRA-appreciated I can assure you! Have a Great Day also. :)

It's about 45 miles north of Chez Geezer. It was cloudy, but no rain. As we headed south on I-87 we saw darkness, then we drove into the storm. There were cars lining the sides of the road because of how heavy the rain was pounding down. We didn't encounter any flooding or other problems and got home safely. Early Tuesday the spillway from the Mohawk River to the Hudson River was dry. With the rains from Tuesday and yesterday it's roaring, as is the Cohoes Falls. More storms predicted for later today.

Grmoore, I actually put that thing together originally using Wordperfect. About the time I got it going, Time Warner yanked the web space out from under me (and thousands of other customers), and I thought I'd lost it. Just discovered backups a while back and decided to get my own domain and play with it some more. I'll have to check out Visual Studio. I'm using Frontpage 2000 right now. Glad that's over for you, WR-INC. On a more cheerful note, our WR Old Dead Chicken last night turned out to be really REALLY good. Good morning, Joseph....Psyr Psyd.....VW.... Time for more coffee! .

Doc - looks good! I got my introduction to web development on FrontPage (98) and migrated to Visual Studio. Most of the stuff I do now only requires Notepad (HTML and JavaScript). I sometimes use HTML Kit (a free tool that has a little GUI tool interface). Training completed so I'm well on my way to accruing the required numbers of hours toward my Government Supervisor recertification. I have a funeral to attend this morning; a colleague's daughter was killed in an automobile accident. She was only 22 - life is short! Off to breakfast, work at home for a bit, to the funeral and then into the office. Have a great day all!

VikingWoman Champion Author Washington Posts:1,275 Points:252,640 Joined:May 2012	Message Posted: May 23, 2013 12:04:53 AM Ignore VikingWoman Report Abuse Sid, My folks purchased the family farm from my grandmother because she couldn't run the farm anymore after my dad's dad passed away in a car wreck in 1949. Jennie and Olai had purchased the farm about 1915 and they raised chickens, hogs and milked dairy cows along with raising crops to feed the animals. My parents started took over with all that but soon got rid of the hogs. They raised geese to sell the eggs for years and my mother took care of 200 chickens. Plenty of eggs to sell and I remember going to the egg market with my dad when I was young. They evidently decided no more chickens when they added on to the barn to milk 6 more cows about 1968. The primary farm was 160 acres and we had a second 80-acre farm for livestock and to storing our hay and straw. We raised our own livestock and ran a beef animal for our own meat. We milked Holsteins but a Guernsey ran in the herd for her butterfat. That poor animal was so picked on I felt sorry for her. For crops. we raised what was needed to feed the animals: alfalfa mix hay, corn for silage and grain and oats. Plenty of our land was swampy so we had an abundance of pasture land too. My mother helped on the farm and all of us kids helped too. My dad had one hand due to an accident when he was a teen. He didn't use a prosthesis either. Thinking back the only things I noticed he couldn't do were cut a steak with a knife and fork and cut open a baked potato - he squished it. I learned a lot from him. My folks sold the farm in 1981.

Psycho Sid Champion Author Detroit Posts:2,731 Points:259,755 Joined:Oct 2003	Message Posted: May 22, 2013 9:51:49 PM Ignore Psycho Sid Report Abuse VW, this farm has been in my father's side of the family for 163 years. It was homesteaded in 1850 after the lumber barons went through Saginaw County and through the middle part of the Lower peninsula. There is a couple of pair trees and about 10 apple trees that are probably over 110 years old. My grandfather milked cows and had beef cattle. The house was built in 1953 and the barn was built September of 1945 right after Nagasaki when father came home with his combat pay. The calendar in the milk room says August 1961. My Superman and Mad magazines are still up in the hay loft where I used to play as a little kid. There's been numerous houses and barns on the farm here since the middle of the last century. Tittabawassee Township, MI. Sugar beets, soy beans, and corn along with winter wheat. What did your family produce? Cranberries? Dairy? [Edited by: Psycho Sid at 5/22/2013 9:56:46 PM EST]

Been having some fun learning more and more about website building with MS Frontpage....ain't easy, but ain't all that bad, either. Check out the latest developments RAT HERE! Talk to folks, Psyd. Some day you'll regret losing touch. Just yesterday I got back in touch with a guy I haven't seen or heard from since 1950. It's a real treat. We played a little football together and did a little swimming together. Maybe this summer we'll get to drink a little coffee together. That's the kind of stuff that makes life good when you get older than the rocks dinosaur crap used to fall on. I just try to keep my filters clean, CHASMS.

We and most others left. The luncheon afterwards went well until the same duo tried to resume their "service", which ended the gathering. Reports from people who went back to get belongings they'd left said that the two were angry and loudly berating innocent attendees. Today we gather for a short burial ceremony at Ft Snelling.
