Geezer's Lounge (Rev 1) - Volume 4

[elwoodblues]

Good morning Curt, Rick, Tom, Larry, Mike, Karl, Jerry and the rest of the crew that drops in later.

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Curt.

Rick, I hike 15 miles once, took me 6 days to do it. 😊  Safe driving.

Tom, enjoy your day with Pam.

Larry, sounds like it will be awhile before the garage door is installed, enjoy dinner with your daughter, glad she is feeling better.

Mike, hope the taxman won't be too hard on you.

Karl, have fun with grand baby #1.

Jerry, have fun at the bench.

Current weather here is 5c (41f) with the sun poking through the clouds.  Just got back from the hospital.  The Wife's surgery went well yesterday but they kept her overnight for observations.  Found out while visiting this morning that they are going to keep her overnight tonight as well, as they are not happy with her oxygen levels.  Not sure what today will bring besides another trip to the hospital.

After catching up on the forum I found out that the winter challenge closes on April 15.  With life getting in the way of modeling, I'm not going to make the deadline.  I think the buildings will be complete, but the details won't get done.  I'll keep working on it and post to the thread till it's done.  If I don't do that, it will become another shelf orphan and I already have too many of those.

Have a great day everyone.

Ron sorry to hear the Wife has to remain in the hospital longer; fingers crossed her oxygen levels improve.

Ron best wishes to your wife. Two hospital stays ago Dad's O2 levels were so low he had to come home with home O2. What a major PITA that was.

I forgot to mention this morning that today is the US Navy Submarine Force 126th birthday.

....
Rick, ouch on the sore legs.  That's surprising given how much you hike.  St George is a cool place.
...

Mike, I hiked a lot in the 70s, 80s and 90s but never a day as challenging as Rick's.  Fifteen miles is a long day on easy ground. Add climbing out of the Canyon in the afternoon heat and the Bright Angel Trail left my 2nd wife saying "NOPE". We did hike a lot, including a Presidential Travers in NH's White Mountains, but never that distance or elevation gain again.

Ron, I hope things improve for your wife.

Good afternoon, all. The NH seacoast is sunny & 60F. The morning winds blew themselves out, it's nice out.  Did a lot of bookkeeping, a couple of meeting minutes this afternoon or evening.

Morning Gents,

The morning beverages are all set. Breakfast is cheesy scrambled eggs, home fries, crispy bacon and/or pan sausages.

What's on your plate today.

It's a sunny 31 with a high of 59. Our Daughter came for dinner yesterday and says she's feeling better but she's still quite pale. A longtime friend came with her so it was a good time. Did damage a little bench time in the am and more today.

Have a great day!! Be well.
