Most of you likely won't have time to read this because you are scrambling to get your stuff in order but know those of us away from Irene are wishing you the best of luck and keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Stay safe,

Diego,
I am on the list for a couple. Harv would like to send 10 @ a time to the shirt guy, I supose I could bump my order to 3? We need 7 more, how many you in for?
Mark

Anybody else?

I would try a dilusion of bleach in an area where the result may not show. Clean white rag dip in and gently work the area. If it starts to work you can use more bleach and less water. Again in anarea where the result will not be noticed in case it affects the color. Other than that I must agree wit...

MarkS

That is a great idea John, invite them all! This is still going on! I have very little to do with it except that they call me and ask, "What do you think about this?" and "Should we do that?" Still is a great charity, it is the most fun you can have standing up and there is always room for more. I a...

At least somebody is getting some!

Shoot its been so long for me I forget who gets tied up?

MarkS

UV,
I will check with you first if I ever need someone to devise a trap for me.
Your purity of thought always gives me hope in clear thinking humans.

I love this sandbox,
Mark

and of course thanks capt.

MarkS

10% is what has been in the midwest for a while now. It is enough to cause problems. I think what you will find as the concensus around here is maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but at some point it will rear it's ugly head and then you will wish you jerked the tank and replaced it with a stainles...

Matt I will put you on the to do list next trip amigo! Couple pics of Reel Cowboy, one with me an a couple of hotties. Thanks again all! -M http://www5.snapfish.com/snapfish/slideshow/AlbumID=3963379028/PictureID=160605455028/a=4974675028_4974675028/otsc=SHR/otsi=SPIClink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish/ http...

Thanks Guys as always much appreciated! It was a whirrlwind trip but we managed to pack in the Aquarium (Thanks Danny) and the live butterfly display at the museum, totally amazing! Danny whipped up a Texas size fish fry and we also did an all you can eat shrimp gig that left us all moaning, not to ...

Reminds me of Michael Kenyon the Illinois enema bandit.

MarkS

Beautiful!

MarkS

We are currently in Houston staying with The Cranstons and hanging with the McKinney's too, John has an awesome place and I can't say more about the size of Texas hospitality! Words can not be spoken to describe the way these people have laid it out for us. Spent the better part of the day at the Bu...

MarkS

On a related subject, what is the proper shaft length for the wiper motor? It is one of the last things I have to add to my project 25FBC and I found a set but the shaft is to short.

Or so the wife tells me...............;(

MarkS

Used to fly regularly out of Horne Payne Ontario to a friends fly-in fish camp. Over the years we saw some crazy stuff. Flying around squalls, running out of fuel and coasting for miles, nutty bush pilots that would skim the tree tops just to listen to your ass suck tight to the seat. I got my sayin...

MarkS

We got some good news yesterday at Mara's checkup. The Doctors notes from two weeks ago to yesterday show marked improvement of side effects. We can only hope this correlates to whats going on inside. We also got to reduce the dexamethazone a little and that is always welcome. Thanks for the prayers...

MarkS

Thanks a lot guys I will keep all of this in mind. Right now we are struggling with steroids and the proper amount to keep her functional. Radiation beat her up pretty bad and we are doing our best to keep the inflamation down around the tumor with the Dexamethazone. Its rotten shit it makes her rav...

MarkS

I had been contacted by a number of you guys regarding Mara's status so I thought I would post a little something about how we are fighting. Mara has completed her standard course of radiation and chemotherapy and we gained about 1/3 against this monster. We are currently exploring alternative cours...

MarkS

Thought I would update this a bit. We are down to 7 days left in the radiation Chemo treatment plan then we have roughly a month to wait for the effects of the radiation to do its work and then some time in late April or early May we will have another MRI to see what we have accomplished. In the mea...

MarkS

Thanks guys we are still looking at everything. Today was Childrens Milwaukee for a check up.

MarkS

Other than chubby cheeks from dexamethazone and a hunger that is remarkable (she would eat the table if it had food stuck to it) she looks very good, in fact you wouldn't even know save some things only those very close can notice. Dads pride and joy. http://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd397/victor...

MarkS

We have finished our first full week of radiation. Mara is showing no ill effects from it yet and some of the symptoms seem less in fact. Maybe due to radiation but more likely due to Dexamethazone (steroids) and improved diet. I continue to do research for plan B attach against this monster and my ...

MarkS

We learned of a Dr. that was fairly close that could help us with nutrician for the immune system and had made an appointment to see him only to find out today that he isn't held in very high regard by his previous patients. In the quest to find the course to defeat this tumor I have decided that if...

MarkS

We are heading to Northwestern University today and Childrens Memorial Hospital to see Dr, Stewart Goldman who's name has come up a number of times during my research and his team has agreed to see my baby. Our current course of radiation and temozolomide (SP?) (oral Chemo) starts today with an anti...

MarkS

Although I continue to say we are going to be victorious I must explore all options post initial treatment or I would be doing a diservice to myself and to her. I may be looking at experimental drugs and clinical trials in the future. Thank all of you guys again for everything you say, think and do....

MarkS

My angel puts on a big face before she gets fitted for the radiation mask. Hueso she found the whale spouts. we'll be overto see you. Gracias Hermano!

MarkS

Thanks again guys. The last three days at home burried in the computer and lots of family, church and friends along with that orange tabby cat have been great medicine for morale. My daughter laughs and smiles as she squeezes that cat. UV Since you said they are good luck a few more have said the sa...

MarkS

Just a quick couple of picks of good times. The new kitty and the family.

MarkS

Hi all and I can't tell you how awesome you all are!!! Today we got the news that we may be able to go home. As with almost every hospital things move way slower than one would like but that news perked Mara up for sure. She had a fair night last night with a good amount of sleep and only a little p...

MarkS

Somehow I knew this would be here, thanks Danny! We made it through the first hurrdle today as a shunt needed to be placed in her head to relieve the pressure built up by the tumor which is blocking the return of crainial fluid to the body. Now we need to address the tumor which is not operable as i...

Feel free Dug. You won't be infringing on any patent!

LOL

I know this is not what you were talking about Bruce but this scale always intrigued me. Wanted to build one around the perimeter of my acreage then I investigated costs!

MarkS

Bummer I was really hoping for a Jets win.

On a humorous note I heard Brett Favre was so pissed about the Packer victory and return to the Super Bowl without him that he went to throw his remote through the TV but it was intercepted.

MarkS

Its a beautiful day in Cheesetropolis!

Here's a few interesting factoids about the NFL playoffs this year: The No. 6 seeds: 4-0 on the road so far. The No. 1 seeds: 0-2 at home. Jay Cutler has won one more playoff game this postseason than Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and Michael Vick put together. Rex Ryan has won four playoff ...

MarkS

jspiezio, That new black duct tape is really sticky if the Bear fan wife gets out of line during the game. Once you get the Packer bug it's tough to shake it. It's a great story, crappy little paper mill town of 50,000 has playoff caliber professional football team. You can get from one side of town...

MarkS

Peter, Mostly Lake Michigan and early in the year I keep it on the Winnebago system and troll for Walleye. There I am a big boy on my 25, on Michigan not so much. Do stop by I would love to share some Limburger and pickled white fish with you! I'll get a case of Point it will be a big time! LOL! Rem...

MarkS

Peter I went to college in Point. They brew a terrible beer there but I drank it anyway! I live roughly half way between Point and Green Bay. We are a number of things in Wisconsin, painfully dedicated, semi intelligent and often constipated. It was hard to watch the Rose bowl and see the horn-ed fr...

MarkS

Nice to see a few outside the state guys rooting for the Packers! Although you don't have to search real hard to find Packer fans all over the world. Saw a Mexican in Cabo last year wearing a Favre jersey. Went to break the news to him and he said he knew Favre was an idiot he just loved the Packers...

MarkS

Sim,
At night you can't see black smoke. Thats where 40 year old Bayliners go.

MarkS

Matt at that price why would anyone have a cell phone?

MarkS

Randall I was thinking the same thing! Lots of energy spent with the build up to the Pats and they may be just pooped out. I do think they can beat the Steelers but like I was saying at the begining of this thread, I thought they would be up against the Ravens who I see them match up much better aga...

MarkS

UV even though I started this thread out with a Jets Packers SB prediction I am sure you must have predicted it eons ago or as I have learned by hangin round this sand box that no matter what the argument Vic is always right! LOL!

You truely is a soothsayer, well done brother.

MarkS

I don't think they like the cold, plus they already have two in the hospital! Brutal game! They have no pressure on Cutler and even that turd can complete a pass when he has a week to find a receiver.

The pass rush will be different for him next week. Welcome to Lambeau south!

MarkS

The first one Jordy Nelson touched the ball on the top of the pilon which by rule is in the end zone and a touchdown. The second John Kuhn looked to me like he was short of the goal, but I won't complain. Maybe Coach Smith is in love with his red flag? At least one more week I get to smack off. Life...

MarkS

Daniel ride the wave amigo!
Bruce tell me again about how the Pack shouldn't have won last week!

I am listening.

Go Pack!!!!!

MarkS

Always makes me grin!
