6:50 am and the third call just went out for superstreet and they put out the first for stock -- I can't remember running this early in awhile . Today the Sun is very bright and the weather is as follows -- 58.1 degrees -- 29.9% humidity 28.19 barometer--.14 vapor pressure and 2290 DA -- just a tad better than yesterday morning .

I heard from Classracer about posting pictures -- seems they say if they let me post pictures I'm clogging up the system............Hmmmmmmm .Like they say -- write your Congressman .

Heard yesterday from several people that said Dave Layer had a mild heart attack out here but is doing better....get well Dave ...... more info as I get it ............

Gotta get ready.........later---- after the first run .

7820 -- My partner -- Bill Myers is in Florida and will not be coming to Pomona........

Jack-try Using www.Photobucket.com -get thier free account-upload the pic to that-then under the pic, the bottom "slot" you can cut and paste it into the "upload photos from a url" when you hit "manage attatchments" on here-that way, the photo is not stored on this site and doesn't clog it up. I know its a pita, but most sites are doing that these days to save bandwidth. and FOR THOSE OF US LIVING VICARIOUSLY THROUGH YOU--WE NEED THOSE PICTURES!! IF THAT IS TOO MUCH TROUBLE, EMAIL THEM DIRECT TO ME,
STAGE1SCOTT@AOL.COM.

I will up[load them from my acount, I can get the ones you have right now on this morning, but I will be away from my keyboard for the weekend.

Billy Nees · 11-07-2008, 01:05 PM

Jack, things are pretty tuff here right now! It probably would have been cheaper for me to go out west with you. I just had to buy 20 acres down the road because I ran out of room to bury "Mason" jars! You gotta hate it when that happens!
