Geezer's Lounge (Rev 1) - Volume 2

[TomO/Tloc]

Good morning from my part of Wisconsin. 66 now heading into the high 70's and the 40 to 75% chance of rain today seems to all be around 10%.

Terry flew in Friday night with the brother's g/f leaving my sister in Pasadena. She didn't feel like flying and we'll be seeing her again in a few weeks anyway.

Terry joined me at the NO KINGS Old Folks protest yesterday. Good peaceful time supporting our Constitution and freedoms. There were 400 to 600 of us and I doubt any were under age 60. I posted pictures under my name page on Facebook not my layout and weathering page. I got some comments I don't agree with and thought of deleting them but I left them up except for one guy who thought he had an agenda the world needed to know about. I haven't agreed with any president I may have voted for or against but the office still needs to be respected.

The brother and I are walking 3 times daily around the neighborhood which is quite hilly. He is over an hour per round trip and hitting 3 miles. 3 weeks + a few days and he is doing very well since surgery. I gave him 2 of my old hiking poles yesterday to help with his balance. He was taking a canes with us walking and these things definitely have helped.

Still no real modeling time to speak of. I did package up some items for a long time client who is experiencing a rough patch both in health and with a job loss. He told his employer he had health issues and 2 weeks later they downsized his job of 30+ years. They did give him 30 weeks severance but in a month or so he'll lose his company paid health insurance.

Have a great day
TomO

Good afternoon folks,

Happy Father's Day!

Curt, thanks for opening, coffee and breakfast! Good luck with the baby drama.

Rick, your photos continue to be stunning.  Just wow!

Larry, the FD celebration sounds fantastic.

Karl, Happy Father's Day back at you.

TomACL, enjoy the lawn mowing.   Your time with the judge sounds like loads of fun.

TomO, congrats on the daily walking.

Jerry, wishing you a restful day.

Gregory, have a fun day.

How is the rest of the gang?

It's a cloudy day and warm.  My daughter took me out for a steak for Father's Day.  Going to watch baseball with her and rest the remainder of the day.

I arrived home last evening from the trip out west.  The trip was fantastic.  I spent three days with my train buddies from the Texas Western, a day with my 95 year old uncle, a day with my two sisters, and a day with my old Masonic Lodge buddies.  I stopped at Discount Model Trains and picked up a lot of scenery materials.  

Uncle Larry with his train layout.  He was installing a crossover.


Have fun,
mike

Morning all,

No time for breakfast so I'll leave it to another. My dr. appointment is at 8AM for the minor leg surgery.

I'll be off the air until probably Thursday morning or so.

Looks like Uncle Mike is well able to stay at the throttle. Glad you had great visits with family Mike.

Have a safe and happy day everyone.

Good Morning All,

Breakfast today is coffee, cereal, bagels, yogurt, pastry, OJ,and soda.

Started out the day with a walk at 78F and very humid. The skunk babies ended taking up most of the day with owners staying and  MOH and I telling them what they needed to know for a successful family member.

Today 2 more families show up to get their new baby. Tonight daughter is taking me (and family) out to supper for Father's Day.

Best wishes for you Tom.

I hope everyone has a good day.

They had just had baths is why their fur is sticking up. They are about 8 weeks old and fit in your hand.

[Larry C]

Good Morning,

Curt thanks for the coffee and breakfast. Will the tan colored babies get darker with age?
I've never seen a tan skunk before now.

Tom best of luck with the surgery and have a quick recovery.

What's the game plan for today.

It's a sunny 64 with a high of 78 in New York; good day to do some painting outside. Had a nice FD yesterday
and received some more "modeling money". May hit the bench for a bit before going outside.

Have a great day!! Be well.

  Sun this morning in MI as I await the 'crew van' to head to OPS at Keeney's today.  I need to straighten out my MRH subscription, there is a feature on our session a few weeks ago at Andy's.  Warming up this week and more humids will make it seem more summer like.

I had a nice time father's day.  I hope everyone so entitled did as well.

Enjoy the day everyone.

This is for Tom and all the rest of the Crackers out there:  https://www.wtsp.com/article/life/heartwarming/largo-police-officer-holding-alligator-video/67-1cd7f324-74ee-4d94-b102-1c0926bbe9b6  "New York transplanted cop meets his first gator."

A bit of fog this morning, up to a seasonal 73.  German class, then finishing my 1-1 project.  I've been thinking more about the tool layout in the machine shop, looking at more pictures of prototype shops.  One of these days I'll stop thinking and start doing...  Maybe tomorrow

Good morning ACLTom, Curt, Larry, Karl, Dave, Rick and the rest of the crew that drops in yesterday.

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Curt.  Those little guys look cute.

Tom, hope the surgery and recovery goes well.

Karl, Hope you get the MRH subscription worked out.

Dave, in my 3-1/2 months here in Florida I haven't had the honour to meet an alligator.

Rick, hope you find a campsite, looks like you are in another beautiful part of the country.

Currently 76F and sunny for my last day in Florida.  Fave a bit of last minute packing to do and then clean the apartment.  My furniture is supposed to be picked up today around 4:00PM and then it off to the hotel for the night.  I start heading back to Ottawa tomorrow Morning.

Yesterday I spent the day on the ocean fishing, caught some fish and had a great time, best Father's Day ever. 

Have a great day everyone.

Larry they may change a little, but that is their coloring. We had one black and white years ago that changed to a smoke. That's when the black turns a grayish color (not due to age).

Dave, hilarious video. Thanks for sharing.

Rick beautiful waterfall.

Ron safe travels home.

[Philip]

Morning all! A busy lounge today. Have a great day!
