***CRIMSON RED DAILY THREAD***

[cbbama99]

Morning all. Dang 2, that is a rough stretch. Prayers for you and yours during all this.

The woman and little cbbama at the beach this weekend, so dad is able to get some school work accomplished plus a few honey-do items. Do miss them though. Can't wait until they get back tonight.

What beach? And why are not you with them? 

They went down to Virginia Beach for the weekend with my mother-in-law (which is reason No. 1 I didn't go with them    ). I had several assignments for school I had to get done this weekend, otherwise I would have gone.

I bet they have a good time. Little CB is probably still at the playing in the sand age. It won't be long he will be checking out the girls in bikini's.

Yeah, I know. Time slips away too fast. Seems like I was just holding him in my arms for the first time; now, he is starting first grade next month. Next time I turn around, he'll be graduating.

I was sitting and thinking back when I used to look forward to getting up early in the morning and getting to the computer to see what Chechem, WV, and Smitty had going on for that day on the Daily Thread. Most of the time there was some good natured ribbing going on but there were times when some beautiful pictures were posted or some serious work related discussion was the topic of the day.

But it was entertaining to me, I never got involved with the work related discussions because it was way over my head, but it was entertaining. As time went on there were others that added more to the entertainment, 2Stater, Supercoach, pmull, etc., that joined in and there was some good stuff going on. But then one day, something happened and all of those good times disappeared. Smitty left us and then the big ado between some of the posters and all of the fun times would be no more. Coach Hank Crisp and Taz  died as well and CRS just hasn't been the same.

I would like nothing more than to wake up in the morning and hurry to my computer again, to see what the subject of the day is. Maybe some of us can rekindle the fire and enjoy some good teasing and bragging on a daily basis, we just lost two more of our members and no one knows what tomorrow brings. Roll Tide everybody!!

I agree with you Jamos. I came to this site for Alabama sports but it has become much bigger than that to me. You guys became my friends. I will do my part to re-kindle the Crimson Daily Thread.

Great stuff, Jamos and pmull. I will also do my part. Things will never be totally the same as they were in the beginning since we have lost some treasured members along the way. But I think of ALL you guys as my friends (even though many of you are A LOT older than me I'm a young punk  ) and I want to do what I can to bring some of the magic back. All of y'all take care, hug your family members a little tighter tonight, and let's all come together as a CRS family to carry on our love for the Tide and for each other. GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!!!

Tonight my wife and I went out to celebrate my Fathers Day gift from my daughter at Longhorn Steakhouse and was I ever disappointed. We had been to this place when they first opened and it was a disaster, and we blamed it on them being new. I'm a steak lover and can usually make it through a not so good steak but tonight tested my will.

On our first vist, our table was at the swinging doors that go into the kitchen, not a good place to sit. We ordered, ribeye, salad, and loaded potato. About ten minutes later, the waitress brought some food, wrong table. The waitress never brought our drink and finally we waived down another waitress to bring us our drink. Finally our meal arrived and my wife's steak came well done so the waitress took it back to the kitchen which wasn't very far away. So while the wife waited on her steak she was preparing her potato, well, she pulled a hair about 10 inches long out of it. We couldn't find our waitress and just so happened, a manager walked by. We told her about all that was happening so she tried to help. We finally got our meal and finished eating and then the BIG manager arrived at the table apologizing and offering to give us our meal and I turned this down. We were very disappointed.

Tonight was a little different though, our table was at the entrance to the bathrooms. Again we ordered ribeye med-rare, salad, and a baked potato not loaded. On our first visit I complained to my wife that the steaks weren't cooked over a fire but seemed like they were cooked in a skillet. As we started to eat our steak, mine was med-rare, but my wife's was rare. After the first visit we did not want another scene so we didn't complain. My steak was not a ribeye, more like a sirloin, a little dry and chewy. My wife's steak was a ribeye but very mushy as most rare steaks are. Anyway we managed to finished eating as much of it that we wanted, smiled at the waitress and left for the last time there.

I don't have the heart to tell my daughter about the meal but I've got to tell her somehow that I don't want to eat there anymore if she should ever want to treat me to another meal. What a bummer.

I hate to hear that about Longhorn.  That is one of my favorite places.  There have been days out on the road where I ate there at lunch and then turned around and ate there again that night for supper.  I've never been to the Tuscaloosa location though.

Photo I took at Yellowstone National Park last month (Gibbon River meadow).  Beautiful every day.

Thank you, Jamos and Preacher.  God bless.

Awesome!  I hope you went and looked around in that pine thicket to see what was at the end of the rainbow.

Oh, I guess I forgot something, Good Morning Errbody.

Death comes in bunches. We lost Navycheif and BAMAWV. 2 weeks ago we buried my FIL and today we're heading out to Anniston for my wife's best friend's sister's funeral, another victim of cancer. It's time for the grim reaper to take a break.

  You are getting pretty wise in your old age.

I was pleasantly surprised to check the site and see this thread has gone 2 pages since I looked at it yesterday.

Today me and the kids are planning a treehouse.  Last night I went over to Lowe's and got some pressure treated 6x6's and some bags of cement.  Now I just have to figure out where to put the posts.

Those posts are heavy.  I smashed my finger with one of them and today the whole end of it is swelled up and purple.

That is going to be a three trips to Lowe's job.

Yes, I just hope it is not 3 trips every day.  Now I can't find any string to layout my baseline.

I ended up using some "Friendship String" from my daughters craft box.  I think she uses it for making bracelets.  I had to tie two pieces together and it wasn't very strong.  I broke it once and had to tie it back together.  But... it worked eventually and saved me a trip to Lowe's, which is a real time killer.

I eyeballed it to start with to place my batter boards.  It is a good thing I found the string.  I was about 2 feet off from being parallel to the house.


The tree is about 20 feet from the corner of the house and we plan to build a bridge over to the back deck, which has the same floor height as the treehouse.  That's why I lined it up with the house.

I know, a little too quickly for my taste.

A couple of feet off gives the structure character. HTH
