Merry Christmas Terry

[Peter Griffin]

Merry Christmas Terry, Cass, HJ, Valveman and all the members. Keep warm, keep safe, and keep your loved ones close to your heart.

Thanks Peter. But it's not Christmas yet. At least on the East Coast....

Maybe on the West where you keep funny time?

[Peter Griffin]

I'm off work for a few days and figured I'd get things done early. Being Irish and all I can't vouch for my condition in the days to come

According to a stupid customer tonite I started my celebrating early. A co worker and I after he left we had to sit on the floor because we were laughing so hard.

Here is what happened that gave me the much needed laugh.

I came into work early tonite so my co worker gave me my present early. It was a white hot chocolate mix. I was delighted and had to try it out. I went into the back room and boiled some hot water and brought it up front. Meanwhile in walks an older man.

He is watching me while I am measuring out the white stuff on a silver spoon. I am sniffing it because it smelt so delicious and my nose started running so I started sniffling...

I turned around to see this man's mouth drop and when my co worker asked if she could help him, he couldn't take his eyes off of me. Then, it hit me.

I started laughing and said, " this is hot cocoa!"

I still don't think he believed me cause I wished him a Merry Christmas and he said, " yeah right."

LOL.

We laughed sitting on the floor hysterically and laughed even harder thinking... what if he would walk back in! I left the coke for my boss for tomorrow.

I would of pulled a mirror out and start cutting lines, preparing for the madness

[Peter Griffin]

Ah the 80's a magical time

[Dunbar Plumbing]

I'm probably the only guy in my entire class that didn't do that....but everybody wanted to see me on it because they said I would of been a riot.


The 2 reasons I didn't do it:


The issue of the heart rate running 200 beats a minute

and

watching so many of my friends go on 3 day binges, disappearing off the face of the earth after blowing through 100's of dollars and no benefit.

Too addictive...way too addictive of a drug that back then was just outrageous expensive. Pretty much for kids with money.

[Dunbar Plumbing]

I'll stop talking about a White Christmas for some. Website looks good. Hope you reap the results.

The issue of the heart rate running 200 beats a minute

That's me at rest.

On a good day.

I think we all know where you're going at this time of year Peter. It's genetic and you simply cannot help it.

Merry Christmas everyone

I've put pics on other sites of my Christmas Display
So I thought I would share here too
Biggest display since 2006, next year will be bigger
Currently broad casting Christmas music on my own channel - ELF 101.1
I have about a 4 hour playlist of music
Lights will be animated next year...probably not to music

Even the truck is decorated, lights work while I am driving

Nice job on the lights Dave,
Now it feels like Christmas.

I'll be with my family tonight.
Got the last service calls done for the night, and the last toilets picked up.

I'm looking forward to hot chocolate tonight.

[Terry]

Gary,
Thanks for the Washington Apples.
Those are going to come in real handy tonight.

[Redwood]

Hey Everybody Have a Merry Christmas...
And I Hope The New Year Brings Health and Wealth To You All...

[Terry]

Walking up to the old family home, I look in the window to see a few of my relatives eating on Christmas Eve.


This picture below was taken after 22 people had been eating.
I guess we could have had a few more.

[Terry]

This dish came later, Yeah, we could have had more over.
