Scotty, Good luck with your little sweety at the Doc today, prayers from WV

 

Good morning. Been up for ages and ready for my second cup of coffee. Where is everybody on this fine Monday? OK, OK, for some of you there is no such thing as a fine Monday morning, but there really is. Didn't you wake up this moring on the right side of the grass? See, that' a good start. Now as Lary said, lets get it off with a bang

Heading out in a few minutes to Discount Tire to get the two new shoes installed that they brought in for me.

 

Mornin.
Gotta drop mom off at the airport, then gotta come back and grab the bike so I can hopefully take my BRC today on base.

Lotsa coffee, see ya'll.

 

Mornin' all.

Scotty, get that kid well!

Lary, thanks for the coffee. No 'real' food tho.

Not yet. I wanted to, but I've been broke off lately, so I didn't.

Afternooner. Just got in from the first day of the BRC, good stuff. Glad I got in, I was a standby. Magically, there was one open spot.


Funny, the corpsmen were carying some guy off... looks like he took a pretty serious beating. Shoulda took the money...er... been more careful.

 

what BRC madson? is that like LOL for marines? kidding, kidding.

Scottycanuck- got to be careful of antibiotics now too, sometimes better for a bug to go through than treat it. they learn fast and make the poor kiddos worse. hope all gets resolved and kisses still work!

now for the other scotty: sorry i missed your b day. chocolate sent out tomorrow, you want the lil choco sheep or the choco cop badge? oh well, guess I will let eric pick....

all good here, steel roof coming in wednesday, then on to scaffolds and ladders, whoopee! pre drilling the set screw holes. this ol gal has learned a few tricks for making easy roof work. now waiting on clear weather.

funny how our weather is just like fairbanks... diesel is at 4.29 too. maybe visiting alaska next month will have lower prices,lol.

nice pete, matt. got my garden seeds in but nothing sprouting yet..uh oh.

 

Hey, where you been, girl? We missed you. You need to come down here for stuff sprouting. My poor wife has been down for two weeks with upper lung infection from all the pollens. I have three varieties of orchids blooming their socks off right now. Flowers are starting to come out in mass - - looks like a bumper crop. The orange trees are loaded with fruit - - wow.

OK, off for a meeting.

Bob

 

You didn't miss it, you called... which is more than I did for yours 4 days prior!

Oh, and if you have to pick between chocolate anythings, just send em ALL!

Gee, I wonder why? Could it be from the arctic conditions there in NY?

Evening all.

 

Its a lot more interesting to put it up while its raining.

seductive - - unproductive

 

And windy!

 

Hey Ma!!! Great to see you!

It is the Motorcycle basic riders course. ha ha, ha ha.

Are you trying to torture your poor wife? Dang it, boy!

Afternooner. Nothing to report.

 

My daughter is going to be fine. She just got hit with a virus, then an infection and now we think she ate something bad at the grandparents on Saturday.

All the doc said was make sure she gets lots of rest to recover from it all.



I better alter the phoo0 for awl uv ewe again.
Some [censored] is always good for the glow.

 

Viral infection indicates fever, she have one?? Any blood work up??

Make sure you keep her hydrated, I can not stress how important it is. Give her pedialyte, it helps quite a bit.

I am taking my grand daughter to Boston Children's Hospital tomorrow am for a plethera of testing. I hate it when kids get sick like this.
