Good mnng Prch Pals & Sue! Neew latop arrives tday, so II can retire this one.

 

I'm a young 66.5!! hAhahahahahahahaa

 

It's been a while for me, too. We drove my wife's Highlander from "up north" in Cheboygan Michigan Friday morning as the snow was building. We were supposed to stay until Saturday but the forecasts convinced me to leave early. It was a good choice. 2 feet of snow up there by Saturday morning. Anddddd, getting new Cooper Discoverer Road & Trail ATs on the 2019 Tacoma tomorrow. The stock Toyos are not suitable for winter anymore. Not even in southeast Michigan. Oh, a few weeks from 73 for me.

 

Welcome to the thread Bill. Age is not an issue here. I was when 63 i started the thread and here it is 2024 and it's still around.
Enjoy posting with the folks in here. Great group here.

 

Saw this familiar shape outside our hangar this morning, dropping off my tool box. Colonel Terry would not spill any beans other than it's a great story, that only Colonel Ray knows all of the detail.... P39 had its radiator dropped, wings are in the motor room where I was (motor in the shed for now), Delta has offered to make FAA approved wing spars! Man, I miss that place!

 

FedEx has msplaced the new laptop I hoped to work n tnight.

 

Welcome to the thread Bill. Age is not an issue here. Great group on here.

 

Best of wishes to your cousin, prayers sent!

 

Misplaced? That's Fedex's norm. I had my order delivered to some place that their delivered recorded picture shows location's door step is totally strange to me.

 

see, I ally antd t gt ths dn.

 

Mine's supposed to be here Wed. It's coming UPS from PA...How much you want to bet I don't see it until at least Thur.? I decided to buy because Microsoft keeps contacting me that they aren't going to support Windows 10 for much longer and this one doesn't qualify for upgrade to 11. And the "F" key is starting to drop out sometimes. I'm due...it's been quite a while since I struggled through transferring all my data and re-installing all of the apps.

 

We n th sam bat!

 

So what did you purchase?

Welcome. Looked upped the Cooper tires, nice reviews and there is an $80 rebate on a set of 4.

Are you still doing volunteer work there? I have always enjoyed your pictures.

Good morning. Sort of a busy day yesterday. Visited my cousin for a few hours then went out to an early dinned with the wife. Our country's medical care system does have its challenges. My cousin's doctor does not have privileges at the hospital she is in. He has been her blood doctor for 17 years. However, he was able to have the hospital run some tests to see if the platelet problem is caused by something wrong in the bone marrow of some rare form of leukemia. She looked pretty bad but was cheerful and upbeat. It was a good visit with her. Thank everyone for their quick recovery wishes.

Today is a chair yoga day and swapping out the screen for the glass panel in the front storm door. I am thinking of replacing the storm door. Any suggestions are welcome. I will have to have a contractor do the work. I really do not like to work on doors of any kind. The frames are never square and usually the doors are.

 

Good morning all.

 

Good morning fellow Porchatonians!! I'm still alive and kicking. Have been staying away from social media of late and just enjoying life. Hope all is well with everyone.

Lynn and I took our annual trip to Antigua - this year we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at our favorite resort and renewed our vows on the beach. We left the day before the big snowstorm dropped 1.5 ft of snow on our house. We were without power for about 3 days but the whole house generator kept things going.

Here are a few pics from our renewal ceremony. It was tough coming back from 85F to 19F.




The house that you can see behind our heads is owned by fashion designer Georgio Armani.

 

Morning all:

, sad to hear that your cousin is back in the hospital Tom, hopefully she'll be back home soon.

Talking about FedEx, I have a scope on its way through FedEx that was handed off to FedEx smart post to be delivered. Apparently they have a deal with the USPS where the USPS makes the final delivery, funny thing was that there was a FedEx truck out front yesterday making a delivery to my neighbor. I would assume that if it will fit in a mailbox they hand it over to the USPS, if it doesn't they deliver it.

Took a break from hunting today, my buddy's wife has a Dr. appointment today and he has one tomorrow, the way this season is going I don't think we're missing out on anything!

Bout time you mustered back in Mark, congratulations to both of you on your 50'th anniversary and having a renewal ceremony.

 

It's apparently a good year up here. The guy that hunts our property got a buck and two doe during archery season.

 

Good Morning Folks

A little chilly,today but the sun is shining which makes I think a good day (no snow)

Congratulations on your 50th anniversary Mark. Great way to celebrate in your favorite place and renewing your vows. Thanks for posting the great pictures
