My Sister, Brother and I went our separate ways for a few years without talking or seeing each other. Wasn’t intentional, just I was in the Army and they were doing their own things. We don’t see each other too often but gab on the phone once a week. When we do get together it is great.
Had a professional dinner tonight, not bad, not good. Food was terrible. Went to the range after that with some friends... what does it mean when they start calling you RoboCop after you get done shooting?
Finishing off this beer, then it's lights out for me. See you guys in the am.

Mornin'.
Today is Tuesday, August 9th.
On this day in 1678 - American Indians sold the Bronx to Jonas Bronck for 400 beads.
1790 - The Columbia returned to Boston Harbor after a three-year voyage. It was the first ship to carry the American flag around the world.
1831 - The first steam locomotive began its first trip between Schenectady and Albany, NY.
1942 - Mohandas K. Gandhi was arrested Britain. He was not released until 1944.
1944 - The Forest Service and Wartime Advertising Council created "Smokey the Bear."
1945 - The U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki. The bombing came three days after the bombing of Hiroshima. About 74,000 people were killed. Japan surrendered August 14.
1945 - The first network television broadcast occurred in Washington, DC. The program announced the bombing of Nagasaki, Japan.
1969 - Sharon Tate and four other people were found murdered at Tate's residence in Los Angeles, CA. Charles Manson and several members of his cult were later convicted of the crime.
1974 - U.S. PresidentRichard Nixon formally resigned. Gerald R. Ford took his place, and became the 38th president of the U.S.
1985 - Arthur J. Walker, a retired Navy officer, was found guilty of seven counts of spying for the Soviet Union.
2001 - U.S. President George W. Bush announced he would support federal funding for limited medical research on embryonic stem cells.
2004 - Trump Hotel and Casion Resorts announced plans to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
If you play a blank tape at full volume and have a mime for a neighbor, will he complain?

Mornin' all,
Shovelhead, hope your not out too long, and don't lose too much. Take some time and ride to relax. Thanks for the coffee, started the ph00, I'll watch the ph00 and make the iced mocha's before Scotty gets to it. Let the Dragon out, and the donuts have arrived. Wheee.
Going over to sisters today. Now we get along great. We have fun together. Spend a quiet day. Hang out at her pool and do lunch somewhere. Prolly the New York Delli. Good eats.
This is last week off, Start next Tuesday. Lunch Laddy duty.
Hot again, 102 forcast with heat index 108 or so. Pavment so hot, think the doggy got his feet burned on the pavement. Not walking much.
Chaikwa's: THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Yes he will complain, but you won't hear him.
RoboCop, how did you score on the range?
Polaraco I'm past the beer bottle, but not to the IV bottle yet. The grey haired army marches on.
Have a good un, keep kewl, and be safe out there, don't hurt yourself or break nothing.

Greetings from up here eh! 
Two days in a row with no storms. We did have rain yesterday a.m.
Mid 80's for the rest of the week with storms tomorrow.
Saw the doc yesterday and the decision was made not to inject anything into this arm as we need to know what all has fallen apart in there.
Our healthcare system is well, err, umm brutally slow. I did not know that when an MRI is booked that there is a back log of up to 24 months! I was on the non urgent list and I was looking at an MRI by December. That got bumped up to being called short notice for any cancellations or no shows. That would cut my waiting time down by about 4 months. Then after my appt yesterday I am now on the urgent list for the MRI and the EMG. Not sure where that will put me but the doc speculated I would have these tests within two weeks.
There are no private MRI clinics in Regina or the province. The closest one I found in Canada is over in Calgary. I am now thinking that there is a need for a private MRI clinic here and it might be a good business venture. Even the doc liked that idea. So its 800.00 for an MRI in Calgary or I wait a week or two. The MRI units in this city run upwards of 18 hrs a day.
Just typing this got the arm zinging again.
I hope all is well for all of my DTRonian friends.
Things are much better around here after that few weeks of crappy stuff.
I look at it this way...without any crappy stuff, I would not appreciate the good times as much.
I miss my Older Twin on here. I hope he is getting back to a better place with his physical health one day at a time. Maybe one day we will see each others LEGGS again.

Sunday it was 92* and 90% humdidity. I was making repairs to the driveway and coating it. In an hour, my jeans were dark blue, dripping from the cuffs and sneaks were squishing
