Don’t push yourself too hard!

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha Doc!

All’s well over here (except for the current problems that seem to have no resolution......yet). Trying to be patient.

[oldteen]

God rest the souls of our fallen and prayers for their families.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[ConorMacNessa]

Keep your chin up, FRiend! We're all pulling for you and you're in our prayers!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

The weather here is gorgeous as well....not like the weather reports I’ve heard on the news of east coast sweltering heat and humidity.

Paradise needs tourists to share it with.....and they ain’t here.

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Cpl. Joe L. Wrightsman, USMC, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force, Died Afghanistan 18JUL2010

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

Eternal Father, Strong to Save



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, amid these who heeded the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

two and a half days working on my computer

Is it still acting up or did ya figger out the bug(s) that might be crawlin' around in it? That's waaaay more patience than I have. I'd have tossed it already!

[oldteen]

Mine?

[BIGLOOK]

Thanks Doc! And hoping you’re getting better too! Still on the prayer watch for you.

[ConorMacNessa]

We had 99 degrees today until T-storms roared through and cooled it down to about 75 - lots of power lines down - roads were chaotic on the way home this evening.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[PROCON]

[PROCON]

Mine?

You're getting pretty good with that.

Flowers of the Forest



Black Watch Piper

The Soldier

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

And close behind....Pro is in second!!

[BIGLOOK]

The weather has always fascinated me....especially the way it’s reported.

Glad to hear it’s cooled off a bit so you can sit in the dark and enjoy it this evening. On the bright side, you won’t be getting any kapakai weather reports from the news.

***Might it keep him from deploying?***

Don't know. I won't hear from him until Tuesday. But knowing him, he won't "advertise" it.

He went through 4 IED/EFP's in Iraq and has sharpnel inside him, but won't say anything. He says he doesn't want to be away from "his guys".

I can respect that.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And rounding out the top 3....MountainDad!!

[ConorMacNessa]

We have power, but about a half mile down the road it's a different story. Lot of traffic lights out.
