To those I write with and those I chat with in PM:

[PhoenixPrime01]

I'm leaving for the Pocono Mountains of PA on Thursday, the 8th, and will be offline for awhile. I'll be gone for about a month and my last posts 'til I return will be on Wednesday evening the 7th.

The first two weeks will be at two festivals in western NY state w/o electric, let alone a computer. Can feel the withdrawl symptoms already. *L

The last two weeks I'll likely have limited Net access so may be able to post infrequently.

I'll be back again on Aug 5th or Aug 6th.

Please feel free to write around me or to 'drag me along' so my characters are still "there" and alive and well pending my return to all y'all (Southern speak for all of you) my friends. *BS

Sounds like you are going to have a great time, PP01.

Have a safe trip! We'll miss you!

 

[jaylene]

Have a great time! You'll be missed. We will look forward to your return.

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

BS* Thank you. Thank you both and if my back holds up to the camping out I know I'll have a super time. *Wink*

 

[shereads]

Good God. No electricity means no air conditioning. Are you mad?

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

Air Conditioning?? I'm a hell'uva lot more worried about no heat. *LOL

Remember I'm used to 90's during the day and mid to high 70's at night.
I checked the weather there yesterday and the farking high's were in the mid 70's and the nightly lows were in the low 60's to high 50's. That Dead of Winter temps for me. I may not be sitting next to, but in the fire at night. *chuckling
They had 20-30 degree temps changes between day and night highs and lows so I've packed sweats, a scarf, a ski jacket and sweaters. *LMAO* Yep a soft ole Floridian that's me.

Hang in there, ya old coot *soft chuckle*... and have a terrific time!

Sarah nd her Dippity's will be eagerly awaiting your return!

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

That's Old and Venerable coot or geezer to you Cyn. *L

And Edge will be razor's sharp when he arrives and ready to carve a swath. *evil grin and glint in his pitiless blue eyes*

Happy trails

Don't forget to eat a spiedie or two while you're up in Western NY, Phoenix. It's a local specialty, and quite tasty

Cheers,
AriO

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

Ummmm, dare I ask what's in a spiedie AriO? *G

"Happy trails to youuuu, until we meet again.
"Happy trails to youuuu, keep smiling until then..." *sgs

 

[Arioso]

Oh, sure you can ask....

It's marinated meat (chicken or beef, usually) served in a hot dog bun or roll. They're served all over the southern tier of NY.

Cheers,
AriO

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

Now that sounds yummy. *G*
Thanks for the tip AriO.
Oh, and my name was added as co-author btw. Not sure if I told you or not.

 

[IM1_RUASLUT2]

haven't left yet, but I feel deserted already
Miss you tons now... gads that seems like forever.

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

I'll be on the plane for, hopefully, an uneventful flight to PA in less then eleven hours.
Be definitely offline for two weeks and perhaps on a limited or occasional basis for two more weeks.

Thank you it's very nice to know that I'll be missed. *sgs

 

[PhoenixPrime01]
