60+ year old thread.

Morning all:
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend Cheech.

 

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend Cheech.

When I was about 15 years old a friend and I were walking through a rural cemetery. We came upon one particular headstone which caught my attention. It had the following inscription:

Remember friend as you walk by,
As you are now, so once was I,
As I am now so must you be,
And may the Lord remember thee.

Amazing that I would memorize those words and remember them 60 years later.

It kind of puts you in touch with your mortality doesn't it?

 

It is still very hot here in Mobile Alabama. There were 7 days in September with record highs for that date here.

I have decided that were have 4 seasons here:

Almost summer

Summer

Still summer

And winter

 

Good Morning Cool Old Dudes

Sorry for the loss of your friend Cheech .

 

So sorry to hear about the loss of your friend Cheech. 62 is too young. RIP

Morning all . Another day of wacky weather. Supposed to hit mid 80"s today and 90 tomorrow and dropping back to the 60's by Thursday and up to the 70's again by Sunday .

Hiya @MQQSE Rob, How is it going?

 

It's going Ken. Another rainy night here. Winter will be showing up any day now.

How are you my friend? Those aches and pains from the vehicle accident subsided?

 

I read in Idaho somewhere.
There are 2 seasons here, winter and road construction.

 

Good morning kids

Sorry for your loss, Cheech.
A brutal reminder to keep your friends and family close, you never know when the last time to tell them.they are important to you.


And live each day as if it may be your last time to positively impact another person's life.

Tomorrow is promised to no one.

 

Mornin all, how’s everyone? Waiting for cooler temps this weekend (finally)...

 

Global warming. Winter has been canceled.

 

Winnemucca, Nevada broke a record for snow falling so early in the season. First time in over 100 years. Supposed to be in the 70's here this weekend.

Duane, already in the 70's in the inland empire in so cal.

Usually around 90 this time of year.

 

Still frost on my garage roof a couple days ago when I was sweeping needles off. Almost slid off as I had forgotten it had froze o/n. First freeze of Fall.
Duane

 

Sounds like Global Warming is hitting California hard!

 

Only fly in the ointment is why are glaciers melting and the ice in Iceland?
Duane

 

The beginning of the end of the ice age so many years ago.....

 

Redneck radio mentioned last week that temps were warmer 1,000 years ago per core samples of ice and we are in a mini ice age.

Seems everyone has a theory and "facts" to back it up.

 

Afternoon, all. Roofers are finally here to fix hurricane damage. They are rehanging gutters & re coating the old metal roof. Our house sits on the property line so I got permission for access to the yard of the vacant house next door.

The elderly owner's son was cooperative but his sister raised a fuss about them being in the yard. (She lives 2 doors down). I try to get along with all but sometimes avoiding angry people is best.

As a side note, her Aunt who lived across the street, was the oldest victim in the church shooting a couple years back. I guess I'd be angry too.

 

Could you send some rain down this way please Rob. You can keep the snow All of the rain we had is gone and now the grass is turning brown.

Doing so-so Rob. Thanks for asking. Back is still an issue. Going to physical therapy 3 times a week and it doesnt seem to be getting much better. Ankle and knee are much better. The therapist said if in a couple of more weeks the back feels the same they'll have the doctor order an MRI. Keeping my that it will get better.

How are you and the family doing? Have a good day ( or night or morning)whatever time zone you are in .
