Well, it's going OK here in Oklahoma. I did get the updates for this month downloaded yesterday for both computers.

However, I did have to do a hard shutdown this morning on Windows 7 as it froze on me once again on Startup. Did run CHKDISK afterwards and everything turned out OK.

May get some rain Friday and Saturday. Crossing our fingers.

Good morning Pro ((HUGS))

Yeah, it was a shocker to me to get to the Canteen so early. Hope it doesn’t screw up your day ;)

The sun is out and our temps are going back up.

Hope you enjoyed your coffee.

Hope your Wednesday is warmlicious.

R.I.P CSM (Ret.) Basil L. Plumley. (1912-2012)

See you on Fiddler’s Green. Garry Owen!

Halfway down the trail to Hell,
In a shady meadow green
Are the Souls of all dead troopers camped,
Near a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddlers’ Green.
Marching past, straight through to Hell
The Infantry are seen.
Accompanied by the Engineers,
Artillery and Marines,
For none but the shades of Cavalrymen
Dismount at Fiddlers’ Green.
Though some go curving down the trail
To seek a warmer scene.
No trooper ever gets to Hell
Ere he’s emptied his canteen.
And so rides back to drink again
With friends at Fiddlers’ Green.
And so when man and horse go down
Beneath a saber keen,
Or in a roaring charge of fierce melee
You stop a bullet clean,
And the hostiles come to get your scalp,
Just empty your canteen,
And put your pistol to your head
And go to Fiddlers’ Green.

Hi Kathy,

My granddaughter, Megan (13 years old) will be having knee surgery on her right knee this coming Monday to repair the knee cap after she dislocated it during basketball tryouts on 09/13. They will start by scoping the knee, but her surgeon believes it will be necessary to expose the knee in order to make the repair. Additionally, she likely will have to have surgery on the left knee also. She was apparently born with an abnormality of both knee caps, where they are misaligned to the knee joint. This makes her prone to dislocation problems.

Please ping the prayer warriors for Megan. She has endured a lot of pain, and will be facing more. Plus, she's being bullied at school by kids who call her "cripple" and say she's faking her injury to avoid doing things. Kids can be cruel. Thank you in advance, SoldierDad

Thanks, Arrow! We had a wonderful time, and you need to try to come to the next one! I think it’s going to be in central Texas so would be more accessible. :)

I’ve already planted the seed to get there next year. Central Texas would be doable!

I know it!

But Libery Hill? That’s 800+ miles and 15 hours from here.
That’s gonna be a tough sell for a weekend trip.
I know she’d enjoy herself, but...

Maybe we can combine it with a trip to see family up in Keller, Tyler, and DeKalb.

Combining it was just what I was thinking you’d do. Nana might not like all the shooting stuff, but she could visit family while you blow up stuff. :)

I’ll try to get there next year. I’ll have to watch my work schedule and may try to change it for the shoot.

Just so you know...I believe the tentative date right now is in June, but it’s still early so we’ll let everyone know when it “gels”. Are you on the ping list? If not, you can be. :)

WE have our family reunion in June, so that may be a conflict. My cousin and I are hosting it next year.
