Good Night :smilies0814:

[Susan Unger]

Good Morning!

[Glenda Harvey]

I think my goal is to be last one to post at night. All be it that it is usually actually morning. If I manage to post after everyone else has gone to bed then I usually get about 5 or 6 hours out of it. Of course when I start back to work in January I will have a little more trouble managing it.

[Jim Chabot]

That was a huge camper but I'm surprised it was so hard on a one ton pickup. From what I hear a tow rig like yours is highly sought after by trucking companies. They love getting hold of a medium duty commercial truck like that. Even full time RVers don't put even a small percentage of the miles on it that a trucking company does.

Our camper weighs in at around 7500 dry and our Tundra is rated at 10,500. I sure hope we don't end up with some of the problems you had with the first truck!

I should admit that I'm not really a gentle driver. I have no qualms driving a thousand miles a day, and I generally move at a good clip, so I may be partly to blame for killing the little truck.

You are right about the miles though. We have had this truck for going on twelve years now and it is just coming up on 60,000 miles. We used to camp a lot more before we bought the other house, now we use it mostly for campmeeting and an occasional outing.

I found a picture of the old camper, but not the pickup. The truck we still have was painted white back then.

I'm thinking that you will have good luck pulling a 7,500# camper with a 10K rated truck. Especially if you drive reasonably, I can't help but think that you are a very reasonable fellow!

Nice! Is that a kitchenette slide out I see above the wheels?

I would love to get back to something that size once it is just the two of us again. I have decided that there will be no more big trucks, if there is to be another camper it must be towable with something that we already own.

This spring, I had gotten the idea to trade both camper and truck in for something smaller. Between the trade in loss and the price of a new Airstream, I have retreated back to the status quo.

[Mark Metcalfe]

Congrats to Susan on 1500! :-)

The slide out is the smallest slide out around, basically it moves the couch back, giving a bit more floor space. The camper isn't our first choice. We want our son and his family to be able to use it too, so we bought (1) a bumper pull rather than a 5vr and (2) a camper with bunk beds for the kids. We hope to do quite a bit of traveling with our next rig and we'll probably end up with a 24' or 26' 5ver.

Still, by replacing the bunks with a walk in closet/pantry, this one would be a pretty nice match for us if we were headed out for more over the road use.

For time actually on the road, I think your set up is terrific. Once in a campground, though, I wouldn't like having that big truck for sight seeing, etc.

My RV philosophy is:
1. Seasonal camper: small/medium bumper pull
2. Lots of time on the road with longer stays: 5th Wheel
3. Lots of time on the road with shorter stays: Motor Home with toad

This thread is reminiscent of the days when Southern congressmen would be philibustering - they would do just about everything up to and including reading the phone directory into the Congressional Record. If I crecall correctly, Huey Long once included a recipe for 'potlikker' into one of his speeches.

[Marg Shurtliff]

I did it! I posted #1500!


Congratulations ,Susan, but not sure they should count as for about 8 posts you turned this into the theology board . Maybe those should be transferred there ? That would give the honour to Jim !! He'd like that !
Couldn't believe it when I had to change pages to read all the posts since last here . All 70 !!! And I only got 2 minutes last night . Guess I should break my one a day post and go back about 3 AM as I am usually up long past that and get a few of Glenda's hours !

Nice! I'm guessing, bedrooms at both ends with a large central kitchen/dining/living ?

I feel left out of the conversation. I should buy a camper. No, wait, that would cost money. I should change the subject. Boy, how about that...um...weather? No, we've talked about that enough. How about those sports? Yeah! Sports sure are...something to talk about...

I see. We had to have ours built for us, all of their fifth wheel floor plans combine the bedroom and bath into one room. It was/is important to us that the bath should have it's own room with a door!

It can still be washed, here's a trick that works as long as it is warmer than 20 degrees. Put the truck in a heated garage overnight. When it is time to wash it, pull it out, wash it as quickly as you can then back it in to dry. The warm vehicle will keep the wash water from freezing.

Oh and wear gloves!

Finished my Christmas shopping. 9 hours down the hill, hitting the shops and then back up. Wasn't too bad. I checked all of the road condition reports before heading down and called my son before coming back up so knew all of the sections of highway and freeway to avoid.

I'm in Southern California where we are being deluged by heavy rain storms which in California means flooded and washed out roads and mudslides. Where are you?

[Joe Hittle]

I am excited!! I AM stoked!! I HAVE finally found my internet niche!!!

Right here. I can post endlessly to this thread and be assured that people WILL respond as I drone on endlessly about the benefits of being an ardent and vociferous Cubs fan!!

Are you ready for some baseball??

After 31 years of listening to a die hard Vikings fan, I think I can put up with someone droning on endlessly about the Cubs.

[Joe Hittle]

Obviously you're not a sports historian. See, the Vikes have won more than a few championships in the past 31 years.... The Cubs????

Haven't won one in over 100. We not only tell stories of dismal failure, we whine while we're doing it. It's positively merciless. Lessee, I could start with Tinkers to Evers to Chance, but that would be a high note, even though it's also a hundred years old. Or, I could posit that Steve Bartman's selfless act during the 2003 playoffs was really the best thing that ever happened to the franchise.

I might even be able to drag out pictures of Ron Santo and his pizza/spaghetti shop from the 1960's. Or, how he got stuck in the mud on a rainy day attempting to slide into second base.

See, the problem with your position is that you're assuming that I'll be talking about what I think are good things to report. There simply are NO good things to report about the Cubs.

Have fun listening :-)

[Joe Hittle]

I feel left out of the conversation. I should buy a camper. No, wait, that would cost money. I should change the subject. Boy, how about that...um...weather? No, we've talked about that enough. How about those sports? Yeah! Sports sure are...something to talk about...


See, I'd won Charlotte over, even before I got to her post. FWIW, I'm impressed with all you folk's inanity here!!

[Glenda Harvey]

Okay Joe, What time zone are you in and how late do you stay up. I think I will have a difficult time being the last poster of the night with you on here.

I figured this out a while back myself. We have this nice, cozy group where we can talk about all sorts of utterly facinating things. I have ever learned about campers and camping which would not have popped up in a regular converstation. And coming from a family of Cub fans, I can take on whatever you bring me. It might actually make me look knowledgeable at reunions!

[Susan Unger]

Thanks for the vote of confidence with that top smiley.
Hope I didn't bother you with that. Just got lost again in the technical discussion ;)

Not me, I grew up in a family of White Sox fans, all of whom thought that losing to the Dodgers in 1959 somehow made them a dynasty.

So, I argue from the minority position, and with the same vociferousness.

And, just to clarify, I DON'T expect to win this (after all, when have the Cubs ever won anything) but like all other Cub's fans, I just show up no matter where you all gather.

It's a GREAT life !!

Oh, and if you ask people who have been around here as long as Kim Hersey has, they can all tell you how I even respond to my own posts to make corrections.

I'm pretty sure that's why "they" loved it when I suggested a piece of forum software that had an "edit" function to it.

I have been REBORN!!!

It's gonna be SOOOOOOO much FUN getting to know all of you!!

[Joe Hittle]

And, then, I rethought this whole exercise:

y'know, the question which started all of this was "Who will be the last person to ADD [emphasis mine] to this thread?"

That opens up a whole set of philosophical considerations which I don't think have been handled yet at all.

We must:

a. define person
b. define add
c. define last, and
d. come to an understanding of the intrinsic value that any particular post contributed to the betterment of mankind to determine whether or not any real "addition" ever occured.

you know, sort of like asking "HUH?" to any/all of my posts

But, you can see that I'm putting MUCH thought into all of this!

Either that, or I'm really good at compiling one-liners.

I once asked my aunt if we were going to route for the White Sox since they are from Chicago as is most of my mom's family. It seemed logical to me. She informed just how wrong I was :)

Okay, gotta confess,

If I kill this particular thread, I will indeed develop a loser's complex. Thanks for rescuing me there.

I'm pretty sure that Bob Newhart is a Cubs fan, too. ;-)

By this you mean you have someone with whom to chat about the Cubs?

Well, that's a side benefit.

I was just pointing out that even my 2 hours reign "at the top" (or is it the bottom [which would be apropos for a Cubs fan] in this venue?) doesn't make me the ultimate champion at anything.

My psyche is pretty twisted, all things considered ;-)

OK, just living up to my reputation re quoting that Tinker bro't to my attention: ;)


I am going out to the garage now to look for some pixels. Scott says that we are running low and I feel partly responsible.

Could you please find some PURPLE ones? Pleeeease?


I have reclaimed my title in Mahjongg. Order has been restored to the universe. I can rest in pieces now.

How many pieces is that, Tinker??? [a cpl extra "?'s" in case the "?" may be missed were there only one there ;)]


I am excited!! I AM stoked!! I HAVE finally found my internet niche!!!

Welcome back, Joe.

And here I could help Joe out ... reminding him of the little old lady who, somewhere in the late 90's/early 00's, held up a sign at the Cubs/Diamondback game [out in AZ] telling how she was there at the now-100-yrs-ago Cubs win! ;)


See, I'd won Charlotte over, even before I got to her post. FWIW, I'm impressed with all you folk's inanity here!!

Yes, and -- having seen Joe's posts in the past -- he can be as inane as the rest of us, so he'll fit right in! ;)

I've concluded that the last person to add to this thread will be the person who posts right after the second to the last person to add to it posts.

My prediction is that people will eventually tire of posting on this thread. It will die a natural death and no one will even know who won. Then someone will come along pull it up from the archives to see who won and post the results thereby reviving the thread and the whole thing will start all over again!

I went to Waco today and brought back a calf for the zoo. It was 75' here but 57' in Waco. Quite the shock when we stepped out of the truck.

[Jim Chabot]

Did somebody say CUBS!!

This little feller is serial number #518, it was one of twenty five test units built in the fall of 1960. This tractor is pictured here at Pineland Plantation in Albany, Georgia. This is the very place where this tractor was used in testing back in 1960.

According to MapQuest, this picture was taken 1230 miles from my house. I think that trailering this tractor over 1200 miles, just to get a picture of it here, qualifies me as a Cub fan.

So what is this baseball?

[Jim Chabot]

44 posts since last evening and about 50% by Joe . He'll soon catch up with some of you in total posts to this thread .

Mine don't count because I'm not trying to be last. I'm just a helpful sort of fellow trying to be a blessing to all who are in the competition.

That's just the kind of person I am.

[Joe Hittle]

yours count

Not quite sure how yet, but they definitely count ;-)

Alright, Joe has found a way to run me off. If you start talking about baseball, I'm going to go join Norm on his thread.

I envision lots of baseball replies now.

No, see, you misunderstand: There are a great and vast number of sports fans who maintain that the Cubs haven't played baseball for more than 100 years now. I'm beginning to suspect that "they" are right.

Which is why my motif should work. No one wants to talk about the Cubs, or, at least be seen as wanting to talk about the Cubs. So, I have the perfect situation here. I WILL get replies. They probably won't be about baseball or the Cubs, but I WILL get responses.

And, gauging by the quality of posts so far, highly inciteful ones (oh wait, maybe that was supposed to be "insightful"... nah, probably not)

Hey, you're a Texan... buck up! :-)

[Tinker Boyd]

CALL TO NON-ACTION!!

I noticed we've haven't received any more reports from Little Moose, Alberta lately so I looked on the map and it doesn't even exist anymore! We caused the demiss of that poor little town!!!

Please, before any more of our Northern neighbors disappear, stop posting on this thread!

That's all I have to say.

Upper Moose, Ontario: December 23, 2010

Source of Internet Pixel Shortage Found

Researchers at the world renowned Upper Moose Internet Crisis Center have found the source of a recent drop in Internet pixel availability that has concerned Internet users worldwide. The drop in pixel availability began about two months ago and has continued since. It is reported Internet providers like Verizon and Comcast have in some cases resorted to rationing certain font colors and that even reserves of the venerable black pixels have been dangerously low at times. “We’ve been concerned about the capacity of Internet providers to keep up in the face of depleted pixel supplies of all colors,” commented chief researcher Phineas Breezeley, head of research at Upper Moose, “the recent drop in pixel availability has increased our concern that the internet is more fragile than some have thought.”

One result of the pixel shortage has been the gradual disappearance of Internet articles about the precious and endangered spotted owl and the little snail darter fish. Breezeley also believes that there’s a link between the pixel crisis and climate change. “It is yet to be proven, but many of us think there’s a correlation here,” he said.

The source of the pixel shortage was found as Breezeley and his research team of crack scientists researched the flow of Internet traffic from Australia to Denmark, from London to Brazil, from east Texas to west Texas.

“The source of the problem,” Breezeley said, “is a thread on a website called ‘NazNet.com.’ A group of users are competing to see who will be the last to post to a particular thread.” In the thread, each user tries to post something that will be the final thing said in the thread. As the hundreds of posts are done, pixels are used at an alarming rate and reserves are threatened.

Breezeley says that the only hope for the Internet is for the competition to end immediately. “Just a person trying to get one more post in by saying something like ‘ME’ or ‘thanks’ will likely push our fragile Internet past the tipping point. The NazNet users must cease this thread immediately,” he warned.

He adds, “Do it for the sake of the children.”

Realized that one thing this forum is now doing is something that takes us backwards. Used to be that, once a checked-off post has been quoted, it does not appear in future posts. Now, I'm having to delete any post, it seems, that I've ever quoted [just deleted Susan's snowman post I already quoted earlier, & now see Jim's "purple pixel" post below that was also quoted earlier, when we thanked him for checking on those purple pixels. As we move down the page, we see Marg's already quoted is here, too. And even Charlotte's admirably alliterative post previous quoted is here, too. And Joe's 1st 100-yr-Cubs post already quoted remains. Hmmmmm ....

Oops! This isn't the first one ... it's the one I meant to quote this time around ... re "inciteful -vs- insightful" ... yes, some of his posts may "incite" folks to respond, while others can be downright "insightful." ;)

Now, after all this "splaining," what was I going to say in this post? Oh, well ... won't worry about it ... there'll be other posts in which we can say whatever it was we were going to say here in this post. LOL ;) [giving me an excuse to post again ;)]

How did I miss Tinker's remark about Breezeley abridging his reports!? First I saw it was in this quote! Huh? Did I miss a page somewhere? Oh, nooooooooo! Can't miss any of these insightful [or is that "inciteful," as Joe suggested?] posts in this most important NazNet thread!?

[Marg Shurtliff]

42 posts since last evening. And between Glenda and Joe , I managed a bare 2 minutes , then 3 minutes . Oh well, I still enjoy the thread .
And Susan , here I was thinking you had gone to all that trouble counting the threads for each of us . I do remember seeing that feature before , but completely forgot about it for this thread . Thanks for the reminder .
Sure is interesting seeing who has posted how many times . Especially that nameless one with the connections in Upper Moose , Ontario . I think I'd have to vote him one of the most ingenious posters part of the time anyway .
Carry on good friends . I have it on good authority that there are indeed many more pixels out there for us to use . You just have to know where to find them !!!

Interesting what a little reasearch will uncover . The sources cited by that nameless one vary .
First was Little Moose, Alberta
Then it was Little Moose Centre for Climate Change Research .
Then Big Moose Centre for Climate Change Research
Now Upper Moose , Ontario .
Its no wonder Tinker can't find these on any existing map !!!

[Tinker Boyd]

Its no wonder Tinker can't find these on any existing map !!!

I'm getting suspicious but surely the nameless one would not be making them up. :rolleyes:

It's okay, guys. I know I was gone for a whole day, but I'm back now. You managed to survive without me. Congratulations. I'll be honest; I wasn't sure you could do it.

We did but you were missed .Glad you are back !

[Gina Stevenson]

Hey, this isn't the "who can enter the most posts" thread! (Maybe I should start one!) This one is "who will be last!"

B^)

But how does anyone get to be last without the old "Try, try, try, and then try again!" adage? So, we all jest keep tryin'! ;)

Yeah, looks like Scott lost track of his pixels a short time ago ... one of his posts plum petered out ... did you notice the way it was fading from the pixels getting dim/running out!?

I won't be home tonight. But anyhow I have to get back on schedule next week so that it won't be too hard when I go back to work on Jan. 3.

It wasn't easy Norm! Wasn't easy at all.

[Jim Chabot]

I have finally thought of a way to kill off this thread for sure. And on Christmas eve!

Dennis had posted a thread for us to post our best rendition of "O Holy Night" and since I didn't have anyplace in particular to sing it tonight, I figured that I could sing it here. That should kill the thread for sure!

Here it is, warning I didn't get a whole lot of practice time.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17383806/O%20Holy%20Night.mp3

I did set up a dropbox account using Scott's link, so Merry Christmas Scott, and don;t tell Kevin!

[Jim Chabot]

I Win!

[Marg Shurtliff]

24 posts snce last evening .My first one got me 13 minutes but the second 2 hours and 18 minutes !!
And Jim you haven't killed this thread , sorry .
Congratulations Susan on post 1700 .

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

Move OVER, Ernie Haas!!

[Susan Unger]

I am really enjoying your song, Jim. Good job!

[Norayr Hajian]

How did we go from 11:11 all the way to 5:57 without anyone posting in between? Was everyone out Christmas shopping? I tell you, this thread is seriously falling apart (which, from the perspective of a recovered postaholic is a good thing). Sure there is enthusiasm around a milestone (oh, and congratulations, Susan), but there are also some serious lags going on.

I suggest we all take a reprieve over Christmas. Do you think we can do it? Instead of posting to be last, how about we collectively put our keyboards down and sing "Silent Night" together and then we can resume the madness the following day. How about it? How about a day of "Peace on NazNet Earth"?

Maybe we were out celebrating a day early?

Now, in honor of your request I ought to stop everything today to make sure to sign in to naznet and post here for you ;)

[Joe Hittle]

... Instead of posting to be last ...

Good idea. I may have to change strategies here. Maybe even join Scott, and assume an attitude of non-competitiveness.

Of course, IF I do that, I'll have to make an announcement of my intentions, just to be fair to all of you. Of course, we could all post our acceptances of your terms to Marsha's post "Not many people know this" in the theology forum.

I can assure you that would get a response from her there :-)

[Gina Stevenson]

Aha! When I saw you stretching out your post, I figured something like that was up before even looking at the #. Congratulations! ;)

Yeah, what Susan said ... good job, Jim. ;)

[Jim Chabot]

Merry Christmas
, Church! Merry Christmas, NazNet! Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Family and Friends!

Heading to bed now . Have to go out this afternoon for that turkey dinner !

Good Morning Norm!!

It would be rude of me not to say "Good Morning to you too, Jim".

Merry Christmas to all of you. May God's presence and blessing be like this thread - never ending and always a part of your lives.

Hope y'all had a great day!

BRRR..cold here but a wonderful Christmas with family. Really enjoyed our new camper.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas

Photos! We need photos! Especially the glamor shot of pickup with camper hooked up!

[Charlotte 'Mercer' Burton]

I had a Merry Christmas, and I get to have another one tomorrow! Hope you all had as great a weekend I I have so far.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Only 15 posts since last evening and 2 were mine ! Got 1 hour 15 minutes with the first one and 3 hours 20 minutes with the sedond ! Wow !!
Had a good day and my that turkey was moist and tender . Came from a 40 lb bird ! Traveled a lot as I drove to my brother's to drop off gifts and then back somewhat to enjoy dinner at my doctor's . Gave gifts from the Canadian Nazarene Compassionate Ministries gift catalogue . ( goat , pig ,rooster ,health and school for a child for a month , and a fruit tree and vegetable seeds for their daughter. She( my doctor ) asked questions about it and was impressed that 100% went to the projects as she was looking at World Vision and thought prices were many times what they ought to be. (one baby chick $ 45 versus a rooster at $ 25 .They said they had to train the people to use the things )Plan to get her a gift catalogue to look at .

I know I did. Wonder where your post disappeared to. Perhaps it was disappointed at not being last, so it just left.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Don't see any missing posts , Glenda . Are you sure ?

[Glenda Harvey]

I was in a hurry when I posted it, getting ready to leave for my daughters yesterday. I'm wondering if I typed it but neglected to hit post button.

Merry Boxing Day, everyone!

This song takes places on St Stephen's Day, which is today. Also, Wenceslas in Bohemian is Vaclav, which is my grandfather Unger's name and my greatgrandfather Havlen's name.

Just 11 posts since I was here yesterday and 3 of those were mine !! Got 1 hour 4 minutes with the first , 0 with the second and 3 minutes with the last one .
Cold here and sunny but we are far enough west that we are missing that storm up the east coast . Tomorrow is to be a carbon copy of today .

[Susan Unger]

We didn't get much snow either. Only a few flakes.

[Jim Chabot]

8 or 9 inches here so far, I'm guessing we'll get another 6 to 8 overnight. Looks like this storm will actually deliver enough snow to start the riding season. So were leaving at dinner time tomorrow, hopefully be in Florida on Tuesday night, then back here again by next Monday. By then the trails should be marked and groomed!

Not to dash anyone's hopes her on this thread, but I should still be able to post by phone, although I haven't figured out how to format text with the phone yet.

Well, if you can't format it, then why bother posting at all? It might be misunderstood. Maybe it's best if you just take a break from this thread for a while. Just let it slip from your mind. In fact, we should all do that.

We got snow on Wednesday night but it was melted by Thursday night.

Yes, you do have a point there. Maybe it is time to rest?

I DID get a Cubs "throw" from my daughter-in-law for Christmas!!

Now I can settle in and stay nice and comfy cozy as I speak of all things Wrigleyesque.

It's a WONDERFUL life. (someone should shoot a movie with that as the main theme, really, someone should)

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Trying to watch the national news and every 10 minutes they devote 5 minutes to talking about the weather in the northeast. It feels like I'm watching a local channel. (Of course, the news media is all based in that area.)

Woah! Only 7 posts in twelve hours. Could it be that my persuasive skills are working and people are slowly forgetting about this thread and moving on to other things? Rhetorical question. Anyway, for those of you who were persuaded, it does no good if you make one last post after me.

Oh, I'm sure you have figured this out to perfection! People are so no-committal nowadays, and it's just like them to forget what their proper focus should be.

And, I'm also sure that there's not a whole lot of rhetoric in that answer, either ;-)

I'm trying to slow down. One more week off work and I need to get things done now that Christmas is over.

[Susan Unger]

We were on the western edge of the storm...so, no snow. :(

I can tell you one thing. For me this non stop news about a snow storm is incredibly annoying. One would think that it hasn't snowed here before, and to think all of this hoopla over a 18" nighttime storm! Good grief!

Got up this morning early, shoveled off the end of the driveway. Went to Dunkin Donuts (which was open), went to the Post Office (which was open), went to the jobsite and cleaned off the snow from the drive, went to the bank to cash a check (and they were also open), came home blew off the driveway and a path for the dog in the backyard. Just got out of the shower, we still have an hour or so to finish packing and we are driving to Florida.

Maybe we should have gone out last night and stocked up on milk, bread and batteries!

Oh, and I almost forgot, my Mom called twice yesterday and twice this morning to make sure that we were all right. Being in the middle of the biggest snowstorm in history and all, according to the media.

I hope that I don't come across as somewhat jaded against the media, I really love those guys and gals who keep us informed about so much of what they don't know about!
