Great location! I was assigned just a few miles up the road at Peterson AFB from 1981-1984. If you’re ever in downtown Colorado Springs, check out Poor Richard’s Feed and Read... they have great organic dishes.. try the veggie omelet!

Hi Kath!

Lazy day for me, just a little shopping and relaxing.

Son is coming over tomorrow to eat and hang for a bit before I go to work in the PM.

How's your progress?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you sally forth today? How’s the new gig? Same building?

It has been raining off and on for 2 days....it is delightful!

[ScottinVA]

Re: my previous post.. It’s now known simply as Poor Richard’s. It’s located at 320 N. Tejon St. Give it a try.. you’ll be glad you did!

Evening, Lauren, Kathy! Enjoying the dog days of summer?

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Kathy!

*HUGS*

I did Sally Forth today - we were in the high 90's with high humidity today. The new gig seems to be going well - I'm about a mile or so northwest of my previous venue. One advantage at this place is they let us front load - 10 hours a day and we can take Friday off. Of course, it makes for a long day - I'm out the door at 5:30 a.m. and not home until 8:30 p.m.

Long days, but 3 day weekends are sweet.

Easy for you to get to? Different train stop? Much of a walk to the office?

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!

Must retire for the evening.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer,
already mounts the parapet.

A very pleasant good Tuesday morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. Thanks for this morning's thread, Lauren. How's it going?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Still making progress....probably will need glasses of some sort.

Driving distance is good. Computer distance seems to be good.

But....I can’t read my phone at all. LOL! Check up with my eye doc on Thursday, then a month’s wait regarding need for glasses.

Have fun with Zach.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

[Kathy in Alaska]
