Good Morning TW, Thanks to all our Armed Service Personal, both past and present, thank you for your service and sacrifice. Casper66, bummer, I think it will clean up with some solvent and elbow grease, good luck hope it goes well. Enjoy the day kids.

 

Morning all! Enjoy the Holiday.
Hoping the rain will let up later today so I can fire up the grill.
ummm... I likely will fire up the grill anyway: Rain or shine!

 

I agree completely with you Blue. Today is the day we honor those who gave their last breath for our country and our freedom.

 

^ this!!!!

Have a safe day everyone!!!

 

Good Morning 50's. Last day off from work and I got up early so I could loaf longer. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and I can get in a bike ride this morning. I plan on washing the bike later and doing some maintenance on her. Whatever you're up to today please stay safe and enjoy your day.

 

Have A Great Morning All!

 

@ work. No one else is! We were open yesterday, not usually so on a Monday. So, we're closed today. Just me here until my pest control guy does his service, then I'm going home. I have a truck in need of a cleaning! No serious exploration, but a little playing in the dirt over the weekend. 2 weeks today all the prep started for surgery. Major improvement in how I feel in 2 weeks. Actually feel GOOD again!

Tomorrow; Doctor @ 9AM. Board meeting @ noon. Cut grass when I'm home. (Just the part I can do on the riding mower....)

 

Glad you doing well. Hope it continues....

good morning everyone. we made it to the beach yesterday drove in the rain almost the whole way and they're calling for rain here everyday this week. oh well we're at the beach i already ate way too much seafood last night

 

My cataract surgery scheduled for 10 this AM. Was told to arrive at Ambulatory Surgery Center at 8 AM. So I moved heaven and earth to arrive on time. Damn doors were locked at 8 and the receptionist arrived 15 mins late to open up. Makes me wonder how tight this ship is run.
I better make sure they know exactly which eye they need to operate on. Lol.

 

IIRC it was @johneman in the 60+ Thread who told me "if you haven't grown up by 50, you don't have too, that's the rule." ... or something like that, so...

Morning Kids.

I've got somewhere between 30 and 50 pounds of halibut fillets in the freezer, so we'll log this weekend in the win column.

Back to work tonight ... I need a week or two of work to recover before the next fishing trip.

All goes well, certain it will. Do confirm which eye though ... seriously.

I've noticed the latest generation culturally has a "just in time reactive" approach in general; that leads them to be slightly late whenever something doesn't go perfectly on schedule. I say this because I see it in the young airmen and NCOs I work with now. My generation would prepare and "brief" for aircraft arrivals NLT an hour prior to aircraft arrival (landing), nowadays it isn't unusual for them to wait until they are told the aircraft is 30 mins out.

... then when the aircraft lands early 15 mins later everyone is rushing to react. I don't know. , but I find it irritating.

 

Good Morning .....

Hope everyone had a fun holiday weekend !!!

Was a busy weekend for me , headed up the hill to friends house on Saturday for dinner . Sunday got up at 0 dark early and started my marathon day of auto racing . Watched in its entirety the F1 race in Monaco , Indy 500 and the Coca Cola 600

Yesterday I went to watch the 2016 West Coast Thunder ride honoring the fallen Veterans then spent time at Riverside National cemetery placing coins on headstones

 

Well, I have done all I can. His final is at 10 and we will know if he graduates tomorrow or at the end of summer. What a crappy weekend. I was glad to live vicariously through all of you.

 

Glad you're feeling well Blue.

 

So he ought to be done now.
Hope he made it Andy. I've been exactly where you are now emotionally.

 

That went well! The grass hasn't been mowed since the 16th. We nearly lost one of our dogs yesterday. So....The first real test. Gonna cut grass. I fired up the old Cub Cadet and set out to mow ANYTHING I could get to with it. Ends up, maybe 20 minutes with a weed eater and it'll be just fine. A neighbor kid is coming over in a while to trim it for me. I feel fine. Not the first bit of discomfort. Call it a moral victory. Call it cutting the grass!

Now to feed 8 pets. They have it made.

 

I posted this on the Aviation thread. I'm sure there has to a few aviation nerds like me in the 50s group. This Mitchell ran out in front of me on this morning's bike ride, that's my story anywho. Back to work tomorrow

 

A day ahead of schedule! With the grass cut, that leaves me with some FREE TIME tomorrow after work. Fishing poles are where now?????
