The Shangri-la Clubhouse

In that it appears that the Monster Thread has died a quiet but noble death, I propose that this thread take it's place. Hopefully, it shall contain all that was good about the Monster Thread -- a thread of peace and tranquility, of humor/humour, wit, satire,and silliness. It was an oasis from all the troubling news that is all too real in the world "beyond the horizon". It provided all who came a cool drink of water and a momentary respite.

Personally, the Monster Thread was a place where I could wish you all a peaceful good night, or greet you with a smile and a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

We cannot recreate the Monster Thread, just like it is not possible to recreate the original Woodstock. It is something that just happened, with no overt plan, no rhyme or reason. Yet, in my honest and sincere opinion, it served a valuable purpose for our community. Friendships were made in this thread, and only concerns and worries were lost, albeit momentarily.

Thus, I propose that this thread inherit all the good qualities of the Monster Thread, and, as the Phoenix before it, rise out of the ashes of technological "flames". I would also propose that the Shangri-la clubhouse have no leader (sorry Kosh for your one-term in office postion). Let it be free to wander where it might go, free from the talk of more serious and relevant matters that have their open debates in all the other threads.

RIP Monster Thread. You were of, by and for the people of ehMacLand.

In the words of William Wordsworth

"What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;

We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be."

I wish more would learn to do the same thing. Well done.

Well, now that all of our tulips and daisies are blooming, I mow over the dandelions in the back yards. There are hundreds more , if not thousands more, on everyone's property. Luckily, no one in the area does anything more than mow over them. No weed killers allowed.

Morning Marc, Tim, et al. Dull and rainy here for the next few days...and colder. Might delay taking the snows off for a week or so.
Morning , Rp. You can't be expecting snow!?!?

It has happened....not much of it but enough to be slick. Where I grew up we didn’t plant anything until the 24.....
Good Morning All, coffee for everyone on me.

Another day, more rain alternating with drizzle or misty fog.
The grass is super green and growing fast.
I need a non-rain day to install the mower back on the tractor - took it off to clean up, repaint, lub & sharpen the blades. I guess I should have done it earlier.

Anyway, just got back from Costco, we go over quite early, very few other people there then. The main aisles are quite spacious now that they've blocked off the non-essential stock.

Cup of your great coffee please Marc, double cream, no sugar

Singing in the shower is great when there is no one else in the house ............. until you get shampoo in your mouth. Then it becomes a soap opera.

We are no too bad Marc, thanks...just bored....we’ve been in a lockdown for over a year here so it’s beginning to wear thin... especially when life tries to get back to normal north of the river....a little envious here.
