| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 5/14/2008 6:48:22 PM | Thanks for finding it for me Suth'n..........I was wondering where it had went to.
At least with some of the rain that we have gotten, we don't have to worry about the dust devils, huh? LB72  | |
|
| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 5/17/2008 4:14:22 PM | Well I dunno.. It's getting a little sparse in here again..
Kinda like a ghost town..
I just hope them tumbleweeds don't get all the way down to the counthouse square before we see some folks out here on the street.. And there's even more of them a-rollin' into town too. We'll grab a couple of 'em for ya as they roll by LB72. 
What we probably need to do is have a Saturday Night Dance down at the firehouse, and a parade.. Yeh!! That'll shake folks up, I betcha..

| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 5/25/2008 8:24:59 AM | Let me know when you are planning on setting up that Saturday Night Dance and at what firehouse we are going to have it. I am game for getting out and mingling a little. I am hoping that we can get some more M&G's going here in East Tennessee. Maybe another get together at CEJ's or some other dance place.
Thanks for grabbing them tumbleweeds and holding onto them for me.

| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 5/26/2008 2:58:27 PM | 'Twas my pleasure Ma'am..
Only I do wish there weren't quite so many of 'em blowing up the road to grab.. heh heh 
Where do ya suppose all them Tennesseans are these daze? Lots of storms rolling around today. I doubt they are out enjoying the gorgeous mountainsides and the scenery..
Come out, come out wherever you are!

| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 5/27/2008 5:44:55 PM | The next M&G in Tennessee will be the Burgess Falls M&G on June 7th. It is a bring your own lunch and drinks and bring a desert to be shared by all. CW is planning on doing a speed dating scenario and has the age breakdown on the forum post. Check it out.....would be glad to have you there.
As far as another M&G closer to the East side, nothing has yet been mentioned. I had thought about hosting one, but not many people would want to come to Oneida...just a small town with no night life other than bars. But if people wanted to do camping and such, it is great! The last M&G for East side was in Knoxville @ CEJ's and there has been talk about doing it again. Maybe someone will take the initiative and run with it.
Checking the Tennessee Single Events Forum is the one to check out for the newest happenings. I hope that this helped.........

| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 5/27/2008 11:35:43 PM | Oneida, I recall that place, it has a place cal Royal Blue, a place for off road enthusiast with too much money and a 4x4 that they can't wait to tear up, or leave for a short period of time until the equipment to extract it can be acquired. Yep, I'm guilty in such stupidity, but was during my 20's, I've learned better, but I have read forums where guys still go there, so it ain't quite dead yet. Can't make anything this month, I'm spending it with my boy, would love to see some Nashville events though. | |

| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 5/28/2008 12:43:07 PM | Can't do June 7, I'll be flying to Honduras for a week of diving in the Caribbean!
I'll keep an eye out for one in Knoxville.  | |

| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 6/13/2008 12:58:14 AM | OhMyGawsh...
A whole herd of tumbleweeds just rolled down Main Street again..
It's starting to look like Deadwood, SD around here, after the Gold Rush.. Only without the saloons and the brothels. Where are all them there Tennesseans anyway?
Did everybody catch the stage back East or what? Oh wait! This IS back East. Sorta! Hmmm.. Not sure what to make of that.

| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 6/13/2008 1:19:37 AM | | Been working tons of overtime. I need sleep..................but too tired to sleep........... hence that is what I am doing up at 4AM, what are you doing here Suth? | |
|
| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 6/14/2008 3:08:47 PM | I wanted to post a quickie here and let ya'll know that I have located one of the tumbleweeds. I looked in the mirror and it was ME!!!!! It is time for this tumbleweed to get ready for work, yet again, and roll down the road.
Take care and stay safe! LB72 | |
|
| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 6/17/2008 6:41:24 AM | Probably right toward the central courthouse square too, along with all the others rolling down the road thattaway, eh LB72?

| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 6/17/2008 6:45:38 AM | OTD I'm kinda like you I think.. I don't have very solid sleep-patterns, oftentimes. Comes from a life of being an eternal insomniac. And from being on-call for most of it.
Not a stranger to 4:00AM at all.

| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 7/8/2008 4:47:28 PM | Uh oh!!!
Beginnin' to see all them danged tumbleweeds blowing through here again..
What we need is a showdown of a couple of drunken gunslingers at high noon, out on Main Street.. That ought to do it. Sure to bring the local population out of hiding!
Of course, well . . . . . . . I guess somebody has to agree to lose..
But it's for a good cause. For the sake of the forums..

| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 7/18/2008 12:20:33 PM | Just thought I would let you know that this tumbleweed has made her way back to East TN finally. Had a great trip and will tell ya'll about it later! Trying to get everything unpacked and put back in its' place for now. Might just head to CEJ tonight and see if anything is happening there. Who knows..........might find another tumbelweed to roll with.
Hugs to all, LB72  | |

| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 7/30/2008 9:35:26 AM | *YIPES!!!
Did I hear a sound?? Woke me up! Sort of a crunching sound coming from the direction of the fireplace. Now what'd I go and do with that lantern?? Seems I snoozed off here in the chair.. 
Did anyone else hear that? Is it Christmas? Santa maybe? Nahh that can't be it. It's much too hot to be Christmas. Phew! 
What do you suppose could have made it's way down the chimney? OR, still IS making it's way down the chimney?
Know what? I think it may be haunted here.. This happens a lot! Seems they are probly harmless though. Just make funny noises at night...
Whatever it is, you never seems to see 'em.. Ya know?
OOOOHMYGAWD!!!! . .. ...

| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 8/3/2008 7:36:36 PM | Oh my gosh! How funny and delightful it was to see your post Suth'n. I absolutely loved it! Got some news for ya though..........Just had to share it. I may be answering one of them there calls regarding the haints before much longer. I have 2 more weeks of training for my newest position I am taking on. I will be becoming Officer LB72 in about 2 more weeks if I can hold up that long. Working and training classes are starting to kick my tail and the worse of the classes is yet to come. I believe the devil himself will make an appearance before it is all said and done!
Oh well, as they say, I will get plenty of sleep when I am dead and gone , so for now I will just keep up the hectic way of life . Big hugs for now since I may not be seeing ya for a bit.
Stay safe from your soon to be, Officer LB72  | |

| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 8/3/2008 8:37:45 PM | | Sorry, guys, I was in Georgia spending time checking on their request for water rights. Negotations are going very well. Deal may be struck very soon.................... | |
|
| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 8/4/2008 7:11:08 AM | | OTD, glad to hear that the negotiations are going well at this time and hope that it continues in that manner. Hopefully the deal will work out well for everyone involved. Take care and try to catch up on some rest! | |
|
| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 8/14/2008 6:53:54 PM | Whew!! that was pretty scary LB72!!
I tried to call dispatch in Oneida and they said there is no longer a dispatcher there! At least not a really really good one!
So I just dealt with it in other ways.. I done run 'em back up the chimney with a big stick!

| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 8/15/2008 12:58:31 AM | Will be heading back to Georgia next week, high level conferences and all, have to protect those water rights. Will check in as time allows............yeah, right. Will be back in about a week and hope everyone is well and happy. | |

| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 8/15/2008 10:08:56 AM | SB darling...if you want those tumbleing weeds to stay put in one place just promise to sing and play for them and I bet you'd have a big bunch gather round the old watering hole to listen to you cause you such a sweet , handsome hunk of southern gentleman  | |
|
| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 8/19/2008 6:20:46 AM | Just thought I would let you know that I am back to dispatching full time and reserve officer part time. Nothing to worry about anymore Suth'nBoy. I got ya back!!! Now, where did I put that bullet so that I can shoot one of them varmits for ya?!?!?!
Officer LB72  | |
|
| Tumbleweeds Blowing Through Tennessee? Posted: 8/20/2008 12:02:49 PM | Awww SR, ((blush)) you are just too kind, is what it is.  Why thank ya Ma'am.. Heck yeah, let's have a good ole suth'n hoedown. I'm sure game for that! I'll bring the geetar if somebody has a fiddle!
So LB72 where's it all going from here? Are you going to be a patrol officer or a dispatcher primarily? And which would you prefer? I see you're still on board, so they must have made you a purty good deal to get ya to stay on. I was pretty sure sumpthin' good would come of it. 
Can we shoot these noise-making varmits that we can hardly see? The ones that only seem to only come out at night and seem to hang around the fireplace and hide under the table? Or do they pretty much have the run of the place at will? Without even askin'?
Sure would be nice if we could run em' off alright!
