Sorry it took me so long to catch this post.  :eek   I got home from work at about 1 A.M.   I have my routine of checking my email to handle board related issues and to check out hotboat as well. :D  That being taken care of, now I'm here to read the threads.  :D

Well, welcome back then.   :D  

Looks like I have about 3 hours, then home for me.

Where were you in the early days of the "Who is still up?" thread on hotboat?  During that time, Rivercutie, Wild Lavey, and a few others were working the graveyard shift and using that to pass the time.  I was one of the unfortunate ones who was "freetiming" all night long at home since I can't post from work.   :(

I signed up last April on hot boat, but kind of lost interest since the weather was so dry (couldn't use the boat).  Lurked a while, then started posting again.

Your right though, I wish I hadn't  missed the start of "Who's still up", but I'm here know, just made a fresh pot of coffee too.

Nightowls have to stick togather. :)

When K3-River-Rat announced the challenge to race another thread to 1,000, I recall posting something like 200 posts in 2 days in "Who is still up?"  It actually got overwhelming for me so I withdrew shortly thereafter.  Prior to that, it was just a few of us and we only posted between midnight and 5 AM generally.  :)

I remember when you and I would post race to keep our count ahead of the other.  Man we posted alot in a short time on there.  My count went from something like 200 to 700 in about 2-3 weeks I think.  Then like you I got tired of it and backed off to a more leisurely pace and actually got some work done.  K3 was a trip though.  It's sad to look back and think that that thread at that time was likely the highlight of his life and his days.  I went back in there a couple times and read through a few pages he was posting heavy on, I had to stop...I'll try it again in awhile when I get used to the fact he's not gonna ever be there again.   :(  :(

I'm glad I don't do this all the time.   But working nights isn't that bad, it's just hard to keep a tan!!

Yeah, I remember that too!  :D  We registered on hotboat within a day or two of each other as well. :D

Mike, I just noticed your signature on hotboat.  That's cool. :cool

Mike as far as that answer I gave you on hotboat about the meaning of "K3", check this out:

I have a ritual on many Friday's that will actually happen again later today.  I pick up my daughter from Victorville and we listen to CD's on the way home.  That song is on one of them and it's one of her favorites.  Prior to this week, I told her that I knew someone from Kankakee (Chuck) and she thought that was special.  This ritual, also, includes pointing out your billboard and commenting on it.  The subject never gets old.  Like I say, it is a ritual. Talk about a small world!  When we do this again today, I'm sure I will have something to say about Chuck to her and your friendship with him as well.  I don't what I'll say yet because she's only 7, but I'll think of something.  :)

That's cool Doug.  Never thought my billboard would be part of anyone's ritual though  lol.   It's hard to address death with kids I know because they just don't get the concept sometimes I don't think.  

By the way the billboard should have new stuff on it by your trip next week.  Let me know if the boat show stuff is still on it then if you would so I can render some "encouragement" to get it changed.  

talk to you soon

See ya Mike.

Doug, is that the original Arlo Guthrie (I think I spelled that right) version, or the cover that Willey did ?

And Doug, even though she's 7, she knows what friendship is and will understand what Chuck meant to you.

That's the original Arlo Guthrie version.  I had to take my daughter to the Emergency Room in the middle of the night several months ago.  It turned out to be nothing, but it was very comforting for us when we drove home knowing that she was doing better.  That song was playing and I think that's partly why it is special to her.  I, also, tape the Boston Pops every year on the 4th of July.  I was able to show her the one from 2001 in which Arlo Guthrie performed that song in addition to "This Land is Your Land".  She knew that song from school. She got a kick out of it.  Arlo tells a great story and always with a sense of humor. :)

You know, even though I like folk music and the like, I didn't realize that Arlo wrote that song till just a couple years ago.   :rolleys
