Hello Islanders,
I am a long time lurker, who just joined SR. I followed you guys on the thread started by COW. I find you all very interesting and entertaining.
Now that I can post, I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and successful New Year.

Well, hey neighbor. I'm in Norcross. Welcome to the Island.

Hi Croutie :-) Thanks for your kind wishes. Welcome to the island!

Where are our friends Cow and Sleepie?

trachemys

sleepie's around. Cow is...

sleepie

I've been laying low... afraid to say much, feeling the way I do.

hope you're all well

trachemys

Sleepie, don't you ever be afraid of being you here.

Croutie

Howdy Mr. Trachemys, pleased to meet you. It's a small world, eh?

Hello my favorite turtle! how's it going?

trachemys

Hey Drake! Welcome to the Island!

As far as going, it's a new year.

Trach's up late!
What's doing in GA?
I have only been to N.O. and it was so pretty and green there. I loved it, I loved that everything was slower and a little nicer than here in the city.

Trach's up early. Went to sleep early, woke before the chickens.

Do you mean New Orleans? My last wife was Cajun. We spent many a day in southern Louisiana.

Life in Georgia is good. Many good holiday moments with the family. Much better this year than the drunken years of the past. Avoided...what's the word for murdering one's brother-in-law?

sleepie

I hope that you will recover soon from the family related drama.
Yes New Orleans.
Wow you are up early!

sleepie

What will Trach be doing today?
I have a brunch thing to do later.
Then an old friend from school I haven't seen in near 20 years is visiting and we are having dinner. At some point I suppose I will sleep...

trachemys

I have a full day's work scheduled. We slammed with orders right now, so it's off to the salt mines for a full day. I can't complain.

sleepie

Have a great day Trach

DrakeCKC

Always a pleasure to catch up with the Trach. Once I looked up my intro post here on SR and you were the first to reply. Over two years ago, 1000 days sober.

Been lazy here. In between big projects at the buildings I manage. Painters come on 11th to finish one project and finally our indoor pool will be ready to use again! we will set up a turtle island for you if you ever would visit, Trach!
