Nice country you guys have down there ...

[Harry]

I missed the Coverings 2002 because I had to head over to Alabama Monday morning to see friends, oh well.
I must have been to at least 10 different States (11 if you add confusion) and man was it ever hot in Florida! I never knew there was a "Swanee River" or a real "Chatinooga Choo Choo" ... ya see I've learned all my American geography from songs. I especially loved the drive through Kentucky and Tennessee with all the hills and valleys.

The nicest place I visited was "St Augustine" .... what an amazing and beautiful historical area. Even went to their "Ripleys Believe it Or Not" museum .... very interesting!

Sorry guys if I spelled any place names wrong :D

Glad you enjoyed the trip. You didn't happen to go through Newark, New Jersey did you? John left his car there the last time he went thru, he's offering a reward.

Harry,

Remember several month ago we were talking about Yankees, Rebels, the Mason-Dixon Line and the Deep South? Well you just drove through a sizeable portion of the Deep South. Glad you enjoyed it. St. Augustine happens to be the oldest continually occupied city in the United States.

Oh, and while you were away I only stole two or three things from your site. You'll be proud of me. :)

I put it all together myself. With a little help from my "Fore Fathers".

I love the drive through Kentucky and Tennessee as well. Wait till you drive through the Rocky Mountain States, those ARE mountains.

Glad you enjoyed your visit and sorry you didn't have the opportunity to meet me at the show. I'm sure it was the highlight of Rons trip.:D

Hey Chippy old boy. The Rockies extend into Canada. Of course the best ones are down here. :D

[flatfloor]

What, the Catskills are chopped liver?

[John Bridge]

Er, Jim. We're talkin' mountains here. ;) The cathills are nice. I saw them in Dirty Dancing, but the Rockies they are not, amigo. Sorry.

Matter of fact, I wouldn't even put Mt. Houston up against the Rockies.

[Terry O'Neill]

New aBridged definition of a mountain (as opposed to just a hill.

Mountain: exceeds the timber line

Hill: does not;)

[John Bridge]

Terry,

I can't recall whether I had hung a nickname on you. Did I? What was/is it? I'm trying to get all that stuff restored. Unfortunately, there's no restoration available for the old brain. ;)

Hey John

Can you change mine back to Toronto Tile Guy again?I'm trying to remember Bri's handle but can't think of it now.Something to do with beer and buckets(of mastic) maybe? :)

[flatfloor]

John, this is a golden opportunity to stop calling Chip sh..head :D

[John Bridge]

You wanna change his handle to something decent?

Sorry, Ron. I knew I missed some. And you of all people, now that Chip has made you famous and all. ;)

[Terry O'Neill]

John,
It was Virginia Tile Contractor. That may be a bit too staid for this colorful cast of characters. I'll defer to your discretion.

[John Bridge]

Done. It's better than junior member, ain't it? Staid. :)

Well, since the thread has been well hijacked....I was doing research (looking at pics of Barbs' floor pattern) and noticed that she doesn't have her Saltillo Kid name back. I don't know if she comes by anymore, but she sure earned the name! My wife is thinking of a pattern with the dots, but at every corner (thank goodness, just with a lot of different colors. So saltillo, just something that sorta, kinda looks like it.

[chip]

I'm a big guy and all, but ya' doesn't have to call me shed.

I can still walk into a closet.

Let me see you get a shed into one.

Oh...you said....sh..head.

a..hole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chip

[John Bridge]

Done. Barbs is the Saltillo Kid again. ;)

[Bud Cline]

Hey Chip???

Are you out of your medicine again?

[flatfloor]

Nah, he OD again. :)

[chip]

I get them refilled 24 at a time. Normally lasts me at least a couple of days.

Haven't OD'd in a few weeks, long before that post.
