Arctic Adventures ...Not going to happen tis year

[TexasTimbers]

I wish you well Marcel.

But I just think that anyone who willingly travels to anywhere that has the word "Arctic" in it, no matter the time of year, just ain't quite right in da head. Do you have plenty of extra socks Don't fall in the water either. It's cold water. Real cold. Even in the "summer". Summer in the Arctic is a misnomer. It's just a real bright winter without snow. I don't care how "warm" it gets it is decieving. you can still die from PIDFATS. That's Permafrost In Da Feet And Toes Syndrome.

Bundle up. Take Pictures. Wear Nuclear Socks.

      Hi Marcel 

  Just tryin to cheer you up.   That's really bad news. I know how much you wanted to go, and all the things you want to get done before freeze up.

That's a real drag, Isawlogs.  I know you wanted to go and have been planning it for a long time.  You would have built a  better strip than anyone else they could get too, I'll bet.   

The worse part is that you will miss the acres and acres of spring wild flowers growing on those undulating hills of the Artic.  The bouncing deer, playing seals and comical bears will just have to be entertainment for another time.   Perhaps the money might be missed, but you will  certainly be welcomed at the pigroast.  See!  Every silver lining does have a cloud.  Hmm that not's right...

I mean, 'every cloud does have a silver lining.". 

Take care of yourself and don't abuse the healing.  You have only one wrist per hand and your "joint aching" days are mostly still ahead of you.      Take advantage of as much sympathy as you can muster. It's hard to get now-a-days.

DanG, Marcel.  That is bad luck.  I am going to miss your posts from up there .  If you can type with one hand, you can hang out on the Forum, though .

Sorry to hear of your bad luck.Marcel.You will find something to do to keep you busy.Take care of that wrist.

[Corley5]

That really sucks    Take it easy so it heals up good  

[SwampDonkey]

Now ain't that bum luck. There still ice in your yard? or was ya parked over a greasy mud puddle. I ain't gonna ask what ya was drinking though. 

All we need is another limp wrist.


cheers

As Chester Riley would say, "What a revoltin' development this is!"

I don't know how I missed seeing this until now, Marcel.   I know you're bummed about it.  I too, thought the snow snakes were in hibernation.

Hey, if you guys haven't seen it, zip down to the "Guest" section and look at the note Marcel's Daughter put there.  It's priceless!  The acorns don't fall too far from the tree, do they?

CHESTER RILEY??  Shazam, there're some old codgers around.      We didn't have a TV when he was first broadcast, but I remember him from re-runs. 

[DanG]

My ol' Daddy was making purty near fifty bucks a week in them days Thurlow, so we had TV earlier than most folks.  Chester represented a milestone for me.  Once I saw him go to the aircraft plant with his hip-roofed lunchbox, I wasn't satisfied with my little ol' square one with the picture of Roy Rogers on it.  I had to have me one.  I did manage to get one, but it wasn't black like the big guys.  Mine was dark blue, and I always resented that!  And my little thermos bottle that came with it wasn't plaid like it should be, it had pictures on it like a little kid's thermos, and I hated that, too.  Matter of fact, I hated being a kid.  But, things work out in the end, usually.  I'm really enjoying being an old fart.
