And since I’m the first one in…Happy October Coffee Pot!!
Jenni is back in Manahawkin, hopefully this is a very temporary thing, house hunting sucks. She has a large down payment so it will help, but it’s the taxes and such which will make or break it.
We texted back and forth for a while then on the phone before I conked out.
Watched The Best Years of Our Lives on TCM, it is a great movie. Stayed up way too late yet again.
80s today then 90s tomorrow, would be a perfect day to ride the bike in, however I have a meeting tomorrow night in Princeton, which will make it a very long day. High of 60ish Thursday and Friday.
Jenni will be up tomorrow, she has some personal business and it’s a long ride back to Manahawkin…so we’ll get some time before I collapse in bed…
Not much else, end of month was busy, today…nothin’ so far.
Mornin’ boys. Overcast and 67 along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Working every day this month, except Wednesdays. Feast or famine with this outfit…
Back from the “City Beautiful”, Orlando. Spent the past 5 days there, to see Fifepup graduate from Marine Mechanics Institute. What an accomplishment on his part, and I’m very proud. Did get to visit Disney Springs, and I get it now. The place is awesome. Brought Wifey back some ears.
Wife is doing some better, not as well as we hoped. We will see how Friday goes. Work busy today, but got a lot done. Weather still warm. “My” soccer girls finally got a sectional draw that might give them a good chance to reach the final, where they will get pounded, but at least they could be a runner-up. I hope everyone has a good day.
Well we just closed out the warmest Sept on record after a cooler than normal June, July, August. Only one day in Sely was in the 80’s. All the rest in the 90’s. Toasty!
Quick stop, so prayers for Kev’s wife, MikeC’s wife, Anj’s dad, and any I missed.
Fife - congrats on Fifepup! Will he head out to sea or work at a shipyard?
Late check in - Doc appointment at 0600 this morn, then at work at 0915. Completed 8 cars, standing by for more.
County Meeting tonight at Princeton, then home.
Last nice day here on the East Coast - 90F today, high of 60 tomorrow…which sucks…
On tap for the weekend - Atlas has a warehouse sale, we have tickets, then Asbury Park Zombie Walk at 5. I get Sunday off, which may entail house work and setting up the portable garages.
Maybe a motorcycle ride in the afternoon. Leathers will be required!!
Fife - Congas on Fifepup - Clearwater? Nice area!! West Coast of Florida is nice!
Prayers for all in need - Dad is status quo. More tomorrow!
Ahhh - Fife - got it. He is working on regular watercraft. Between myself and friends, we have 10 Yamaha waverunners. Could keep him busy full time. Tell him to learn boat - particularly waverunner - fiberglass repair - he will be able to comfortably retire in 10 years! Between us we have had 5 in the shop for gashes/holes in the hulls.
Still very warm. ‘They’ claim some cooler weather is coming - believe it when I see it!
Spent the day working on/repairing/cleaning some std ga trains we customized for an entity some time back. Sorta pleasant work…hard on the back.
Been a crazy week and more to come. Spine guy for Sandra yesterday and hip guy today. Tomorrow Sandra gets a couple injections in her spine so not sure how she will feel. Then she will get a injection in her hip in two weeks and a new hip before the end of the year. To top that off the MRI shows a cyst on one of her ovaries that needs to be checked out by a OBGYN. I am flat broke with all of these co-pays and the septic cleaning, riser lid for the damn thing and new TV to replace the old one (3 years, already junk) has me up against the wall.
Stressed out in the gay woods in goonie land. [banghead]
Sorry but had to vent! [:S]
I know I am not the only one with problems so prayers for all of you others. [angel]
Kevin, I hear you. Wife’s eye situation has me super stressed about facing my retirement years taking care of an invalid (knew it would happen eventually, but thought I would have some time in retirement before things went south) and then so many idiotic events based on lack of communication at work about drove up the wall today. Don’t misunderstand me. I love the wife and will do right by her, but when I read in some inspirational article about it was a “blessing” for some one to take care of their dying spouse for 10+ years, I want to upchuck. Get real it is not a “blessing”. It is a trip thru the nether world and you cannot sugar coat it. Right now that heart attack option is looking really really good except I am not playing soccer right now…maybe during a high school tournament game I can have and stagger down to the field and collapse there. Inspire the kids to win one for the old dude… My luck there would be some stupid paramedic to revive me… I hope everyone has a good day.
Mornin’ boys. Partly cloudy and 67 in the Potomac Highlands. Record highs over this past week, should end overnight. Leaves are starting to change around here.
Roy - That’s actually a great idea. I shall pass that along, thank you.
cheapclassics - I have been there. I have thought that. Please, be carefull what you ask for. Grab the reigns…
Raining and miserable right now, temps in the 60s. Idiots were out in full force this morning, making the commute…interesting.
Got through the county meeting last night, some interesting and saddening news, we’ll need a committee formed, unfortunately, some departments are leaving the association without an explanation…and the membership is getting older. Sounds familiar?
Fire Drill tonight, then 1 more sleep until the weekend.
Astros/Rays is set, Yanks/Twins tomorrow and the Quest for the Cup IV starts anew tomorrow night. The remote is going to get a work out…Go Devils!! Go Yankees!!
Morning. Had to get Garden Club agenda out. I’m new chair. [Wifey and some members wanted to get old chair out as she was causing member grief] Took a while to create membership email group. Now can get going for the day. 98 record high yesterday. Same for today. We do NOT have 90’s in Oct. No rain in sight. Watering.
Good afternoon. back from Doctors and I am hoping the injections she got today will help but the Hip doctor thinks most her pain is from the hip. We will know soon enough and work from there.
MikeC, my wife is nine years younger than I am. I never thought I would be taking care of her! Guess I worked her too hard. [:$] My mom passed at 32 years old and I figured I would be checking out early as well. Here I am 35 years later and still going, Ya just never know how it will all work out. [:^)]
I got to give it to DaChief,,he can sure mess up his post on this site. [(-D]
Mike & Kev, I sure hope your wives situations rapidly improve! Many prayers headed your way! I won’t pretend to know the issues you are both facing. Im sure you both are doing everything you can, may the Lord be with you!! Wish there was something I could do.
Things around here have been rather quiet, I’ve been spending time diddleing around with the El Camino. Haven’t spent much time in the train room, weather has been too good.
Take care all, remember you’ve got lots of friends around here!
Mornin’ boys. Cloudy and 67 along the Patterson Creek cut-off.
Well yesterday, I was standing on the station platform before the “all aboard” call, when who should appear before me but Mr. & Mrs. Buckeye Rivetter!!! What a wonderful surprise. We spent a lot of time catching up between my duties, and they really made my day. I made Frank promise to come back and stay at Fifedom in the future, as they were headed back to snohizo right after the train trip.
Cloudy and only 90 today. We were going to go to the big flea market in Canton but the bursitis in my left heel is acting up. So gonna save the foot for the Sunday family trip to the State Fair of Texas.
Buckeye - great pic of FifeBoss!
Continued prayers for MikeC and Kev’s wife’s, Anj’s dad [angel]
