Happy Friday Everyone. Mannie had a fairly decent day yesterday. I had hoped for more blue, but got a nice low level yellow AM cycle. Mannie managed a spot pf green last night - YAY! Looks like he probably surfed the low blues during the night. Not bad at all with the 233 this morning. OK Mannie now - I know you are busy today with chef duties for Muffin's OTJ party, but still -- how about some blues, and greens. maybe? for you bean?

Nanners - what did we ever do before these kitties had nanners. :roll: It was a battle of the wits last night. The civvies thought that they'd play with his stash while he was elsewhere. :shock: oh sure.... it was like his nanner security breech alarm went off - down the hall he'd come, right up to their faces within inches, and then the stare-down began. it is amazing how low kitties can slink when they are on the retreat. security restored, about a dozen times last night. :lol: :lol: All is normal this morning: breffis devoured, interior secured, nanners slobbered on, napping in progress.

KITCHEN KREW!!!: Today is Muffin's OTJ party! we have much to do - so pack your bags, grab your ladles and kitchen shears, and lets get hopin'. I have special party aprons for everyone.. uhhhhh i think they're kinda cool. so - see ya soon! ~~ Mannie
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233

:lol: Your report had me giggling this morning.
Now Mannie lets see those fab numbers today.
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 182

182 @ +2. whoa - :shock: looks like Mannie means business... whatcha thinking there Mannie, huh? well ok - your bean is ready!

Mornin' Pat, Iorwen - possessive little fella, isn't he. sheshhhh.... :lol: :lol: and yes. hoping for good numbers today. With that drop at +2 guess I had better be on my toes, meter in one hand, strips in the other...
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 182

Mannie just cracks me up, with his 'nanners. :lol: I love your morning stories, Michelle :-D
Lovely night of blue surfing for Mannie. I hope you have a great run of numbers again today. :smile:
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 182

looks like you got the blues under way, now let's hit some greens mannie! Hey, you asked for it michelle! :lol: Have a great weekend guys!
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 182

Hey Michelle, You need to get 'nanners for your other kitties so that they can each have their own stash!!

Hey Mannie, The menu for Muffin's party looks scrumptious! You are no longer NCIC: you are now, simply, "Chef Mannie"!! Now, keep your numbers nice--but also safe--today, 'cause you and the Kitchen Krew have lots to do.

Hugs,
Ella

p.s. Micelle, I went on a really tough 12-mile climb/hike in the High Peaks on Wednesday. Almost did myself in (trails icy and I pulled a few muscles even though I was wearing spikes; we had to climb down 5 icy ladders on the way back)!! We climbed to Fish Hawk Cliffs in the Ausable Lakes wilderness and on the way back down took in "Rainbow Falls", which was covered in snow. Very beautiful. The enclosed picture of the falls was taken by a friend.

Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 182, +3 80

80 @ +3 :shock: :shock: uhhhhh, Mannie? put away the bungees, OK? holy whatever: a 100 point drop in an hour. Guess I should have gotten that +2.5... so: fed 14% HC w/ gravy, and will test again @ +3.5.

Hi Barb! it is funny. I may have to get more for the others -- though I suspect that he will just confiscate those too. :lol: :lol: :shock:

Devon - HI!, and right you are! I did ask for it - so here I sit: meter, strips, gravy....

Hi Ella! :lol: :lol: on the nanners... i hope he would share if I got more. :? Very nice on the hike! I absolutely love the long ones! My hat goes off to you for tackling a difficult hike like that. Ice I respect more than anything,,even snow - it is so unpredictable, so omg. 5 icy ladders??? - wow. impressed, and wonder how well i would have done with that. The falls is gorgeous - thanks for the pic! I had hoped to get out for a hike for two weeks now, but every day that I have had where I might have been able to go Mannie has chosen to dive... aiyee! frustrating, but so it goes. The local stuff here is nice, so we have made do with that. maybe next week i can go. The local mtns are low enough elevation that hiking there is possible almost all year. YAY!

Miss Ella! Hi, and thanks you! You like my menu? I can be Chef Mannie now? Really??? I am so humbly honored... It is such fun - and the krew is so cool. I made them special aprons today for Muffin's party today. They are green and say "muffin's OTJ party krew" I hope they like them. Lubs you! ~~ Mannie Chef Mannie

Mannie, I am ready for action & am ready to assume my doodies on the kitchen krew!! But could I please sing a song for Muffin--"Looks like we made it"? Thanks Mannie you is one of my BFF! Lubs you & Hugs from Moonie--See ya there! :mrgreen: !

Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 182, +3 80, +3.5 55

I don't have much time this morning Michelle, but Muffin insisted on visiting your condo before I leave.

Michelle, I'll be back later today to visit everyone, but while I'm here in your condo, I'd just like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support, help, fun, and laughter you and your condos have given us over these past 4 months. Muffin and I just lubs you and Mannie!
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 182, +3 80, +3.5 55

Hi Roni! omg... so much for a day trip today. :lol: :lol: :lol: hmmm on the cigars - might have to give them a try - maybe he'd leave them alone so the others could have something too. maybe.....

Hi Lisa! omg! i wonder what +4 will bring. :shock:

Moonie ! YES! You are one! I lubs it! What a great song choice. Muffin will be so honored and happy if you would sing for her. That is so nice - it makes the manster all mushy inside. See you there! Do you need a ride? ~~ Mannie
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 182, +3 80, +3.5 55, +4 51

51 @ +4. PHEW! slowing some... I fed another small tsp of the 18%, will test again at +4.5

HI ANNE! congrats to you and Muffin!!! :-D :-D What an exciting day. and thank you - it indeed has been fun. You and muffin added such an fun element to what is such serious business: our kitties and FD. I've so enjoyed Muffin and her turkey stories, and well the last with the shake was just too fun. Mannie knew he had to incorporate an FD friendly shake into the menu, with straws.... I hope you will come back and visit us often!

Muffin - YAY - you made it!!! I am soooooo happy that you like your menu! :-D :-D :-D I will miss you, but I hear that you can come to the paties and visit and stuff - so that is way cool. We will have an honorary place for you in the kitchen. so yeah - lets' paw-tay! Chef Mannie :mrgreen: :mrgreen: (thems :mrgreen: things are for you!)
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 182, +3 80, +3.5 55, +4 51

I'm late to your condo and what do I see? Mannie scuba diving! Hey Mannie, slow down and lets see some surfing today. Funny about the nanners. I almost feel sorry for the civies. :lol:
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 182, +3 80, +3.5 55, +4 51

Mannie......Get your nanners and put the breaks on young man.

Luv the nanner story Michelle.
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +2 182, +3 80, +3.5 55, +4 51, +4.

55 @ +4.5. up a smidgen. I fed another small tsp of 18%, and will test at +5. :lol: :lol: you should see my kitchen counter: 6 cans, all open, lined up, waiting for "the selection, scoop and plop" into Mannie's bowl.

Hi Ele - yeah on the civvies. :-D They really approach that pile with severe caution - head does the 180, ears perk up, approach is slowwww, with "is he there" look. :lol: :lol:

Hi Tena! :smile: and so I keep telling him this morning.. he may have finally listened. One can only hope....

Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +3 80, +3.5 55, +4 51 ~~~ +7 62

62 @ +7. AT LAST!!! A rise! ok then - tried 5% Cowboy Cookout.. and will test at 7.5, hopefully that will be enough to get him to surf... and not kick him out of the ball park. :lol:

67 @ +7.5 - yes - in the ball park. I didn't feed this one, but will test @ +8, and see if he can surf this. Go Mannie!

Hi Anne - I know - he just did not want to leave the 50's :shock: finally a little rise - it is a little past his nadir, so I was really hoping it would start to show, now if he can just surf this. paws crossed, and anti-jinx!

TESS! YAY!!! I dunno on the dive... I wanted to match Muffin's numbers. My bean says enough already :shock: I don't get it - all this fuss over green and then when we deliver they are muttering even more. go figure, huh :roll: !! I know you will Tess - you are the best and so close to green - even if not, it will be as is. the aprons are ok then? i thought maybe that would be kinda special, ya know... See you soon! Mannie Chef Mannie , I keep forgetting....
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +3 80, +3.5 55, +4 51 ~~~ +7 62

Wow Mannie, nice way to give your bean a heart attack!
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +3 80, +3.5 55, +4 51 ~~~ +7 62

Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +4 51, PMPS 347

BOING!

wow - the boy doesn't mess around. first we have a run of 50's that went on for a few hours and now we have "that bounce". nice one Mannie! never a dull moment. :lol: I'm afraid to ask - whatcha got in store for me this evening there big fella?

DD - you can say that again - he has kept me busy. :-D

Celi :lol: :lol: :lol: and here I thought I had screened everything that he took on his mad dash out of the house this morning.... you are too funny - I needed that after that 347 post. I hope Binks didn't pull one of those.... :roll: and hey anytime on the rest. seems like it worked for Binks.

Muffin! :oops: I will miss you - this way you'll remember that silly chef dude that liked to dive alot. you will come and visit, yes? ~~ Mannie Chef Mannie
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +4 51, PMPS 347

Ohhhhhh Mannie, that is quite a turnaround. :shock: Time to turn around, but not too quickly. You can still cook up there, right Chef?
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +4 51, PMPS 347

Oh noes! I sorry if I maked you be pink tonight Mannie, but what a good fwiend you are fur gibs me all dat gween! And of course Imma visit! All da times! - Muffin
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +4 51, PMPS 347

This elevated cooking is really tough! I had Sous chef Tess tether me to the stove - I was afraid I'd float away... Mannie

Muffin - no - it's not your fault!! I just thought well ya know - it's my old signature trademark, and well, then you for sure would remember me. YAY though - I am so glad you can come back and visit. !! Mannie
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +4 51, PMPS 347

MANNIE---BOING!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUCH A bouncy boy!! amazing--You are special! :mrgreen:
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +4 51, PMPS 347

Wow, look what I missed today. I really have to learn to keep this computer tuned to his station and not turn it off and get busy. Gees.
What a fantastic surf...even if it was a bit scary. Well not scary to a pro like you, Michelle. Yer good!! :-D
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +4 51, PMPS 347

Boy Michele our boys sure do bounce. It's great how you can Manny to surf so long. I hope in time Powder won't boounce so soon. Powder is sure looking forward to the party. I'm afraid he can only have taco filling no shakes for him :lol:

Come down Mannie you and Powder need to wear space boots.
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +4 51, PMPS 347, +2 322

322 @ +2. we are coming down some... more to go Mannie, but wise move not to repeat this mornings diving session. :lol:

Hi Roni! :lol: :lol: thanks for the laugh - i needed that... :-D and yes - that's my boy - mr bouncy himself!

Hi barb - omg did this one ever keep me busy. test, feed,log data,over and over. I'd finish one thing and time to do it again.... it sure was nice to see though - and not too surprised i got the nasty bounce. I'd hope he'd top out a little lower... oh well . he really had a great day.

Hey Kathy - Moon boost would be a great idea. maybe that would help :lol: one has to lvoe the bounces...

Powder! So cool that you can come to the party! You will have such fun - we will take good care of you. Moonie is going to sing for Muffin - she is really good. See you ~~ Chef Mannie
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +4 51, PMPS 347, +2 322

Nice turn around, Chef Mannie! You can't take off in the middle of a party like that!

Sous chef Tess! I'm the Sous Chef?!?! :dizcat Oh, oh, OH BOY! :dizcat --- Tess
 
Re: 11/5 Mannie AMPS 233, +4 51, PMPS 347, +2 322

confused_cat confused_cat confused_cat Mannie!!! You got to come down for the party!

Michelle...I missed your condo, too...and it's always one of my favs. Just a busy day here today. Thanks for posting on ours...yeah...not worried about shooting any number in the 100s or even 90s. Guess we'll see when it comes down to shooting 60s :lol: :lol: :lol: assuming it will!
How'd the window thing go???

Mannie...thanks for letting me be your Sous Chef with Tess!!! We'll bought you this so you can cook from up there or Tess and I will hold you down!

Hey Marjorie - I remember the first time I shot in the low hundreds, remember my first 80, but I especially remember the 55... omg on that one. yet we learn from these, and now I wouldn't hesitate, once all was evaluated. The 55 was exciting... true! it was! window thing went well - basement area the windows there are 50 years old :shock: single pane, condensation collectors, hear evaporators, rickety pieces of junk. so i decided to pluck the money tree in the backyard and get them replaced. signed to dotted line today - they should be installed in 2 weeks. YAY! I hope it will improve the COLD that permeates that basement area, which also happens to be the bedroom. dang cold! :thumbup

Hey Gracie Sous Chef Gracie!! HI Tess Sous chef Tess! I'm coming!!!! And Gracie - thanks - those tall spoons really did help - I can still cook! thanks guys for holding on to me - it was kinda freaky at first - all i could see was up, ya know. :shock: what a aprty huh! you guys did great - and Moonie - what a nice song!! and all the other kitchen krew - you guys rock! and Muffin!: CONGRATS! We are all so proud of you. Come and visit! It won't be the same in the roadster without you. (((HUGS))) !~~ Mannie Chef Mannie... I keep forgetting...
 
Michelle...she ate the WHOLE piece....it wasn't huge but still.....I'm thinking her BG will shoot up...already started 1/2 hour after she ate it!! :lol: :lol: And all this time I've been so focused on keeping her away from the civvies food....and it was mine she wanted :lol: :lol:

Mannie...it's an honor to be yours Sous Chef so I don't mind choppin...especially for your good fudS!!! Wants some cornbread? I gots some left in my cheeks :lol:
 
One more day to suffer through Michelle. Then you can settle into your schedule again. That is a really nice short bounce. Mannie is taking his new responsibilities very seriously.
