LOL! I figured you wouldn’t sit back and relax much.
But it sounds like it was a good day. The best part ..... you didn’t have to get out on those icy roads.
Halvorsen will complete the drop in a World War II-era plane, the Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon bomber. The plane has its home at the Heber City Municipal Airport, though because of air shows it is seldom parked there. It is privately owned by Dave Hansen, who will fly the plane during the July 3 drop.
Yep, I was certainly relieved that she was going to be in town. She likes doing it....they were once her babies. :)
Sounds like the weather wasn’t awful anyway. Wind doesn’t help matters though! Hope you can enjoy the warmer days before the colder ones show back up!
Sorry your little galz are puny! Has your vet gotten a new partner that isn’t exactly gentle when he does surgery? That’s 3 out of 4 that had issues. Or maybe they caught something from other animals there. Hope they’re better soon!
Our son is on his way to OK to be with us at Dulcie’s service. He had a wreck between Jackson Hole and Cheyenne...NOT HURT...and it banged up 2 of his fenders. I won’t go into details, but suffice it to say he was distracted. Anyway, he has to take it to a dealership in Cheyenne, where he limped into for the night. I hope he can still make it in time for the Wed. morn. service. I’m so thankful he wasn’t injured!
He’ll probably trade the poor thing in for a newer one to finish the trip. They have been saving for a new one anyway, but this kind of forces the issue. He’s lived in Cheyenne before, so he’ll kind of know where to go to find what he wants.
Resourceful would be you.....you found a way to make it work with the only equipment you had. Good job!
Good evening, Luv...our military made this good thing happen out of nothing!!
They sure did! No one is as inventive as our troops! :)
No, the weather wasn’t too bad but it would have been nicer if the wind hadn’t been blowing. At least it was sunny after several cloudy days. Maybe it won’t be so windy tomorrow so our warm day this week will feel warm.
There’s apparently a tummy bug running through the ranks and it just hit Holli and Lorien harder. Others have gotten sick this weekend but just once, then they seemed ok. No one else stopped eating like those two did. I hope it isn’t something to do with their surgeries.
So far, so good with Holli. The baby food is staying down tonight. Lorien feels good enough to chase the laser dot, which I’ve been shooting around the room to burn some steam out of these critters. LOL!
Dang! Your heart must have skipped a beat or two when your son told you he’d been in a wreck. SO glad he wasn’t hurt! I hope it doesn’t take the dealership long to get him back on the road tomorrow.
Well, lets hope the wind stays away so you can have a really pretty day to remember when the cold stuff hits again!
How yukky that the kitties are having upset tummies. I would imagine that Holli and Lorien were worse because the surgery had weakened their immune system somewhat.
Funny thing. I got this text out of the blue from my DIL asking me if I’d heard from David in the past hour. The idea flickered through my head, but then I asked hubby and HE’D gotten the call about the accident. Then for just a second...yes...my heart did skip a few beats! And he told me as quick as he could that David was not hurt. David said that the airbags didn’t even deploy.
I’ll be a wreck till he gets to OK!
Just looked out the window and the wind isn’t blowing tonight. An opportunity to burn trash! It needs to be done. I planned to do it last night but there was too much of a breeze to do it safely.
It could be the surgery weakened the two of them but we’ve had a few other cats have trouble shaking tummy bugs. Holli is still keeping food down but Lorien just drank a little water and it came right back up. Since she got sick a day later than Holli, maybe she’ll feel better by tomorrow. Just have to wait and see.
It sounds like it wasn’t much of an accident since the airbags didn’t go off. Just enough to bang up the fenders. He was lucky! But it’s easy to imagine how much you’ll be on pins and needles until he reaches OK. That’s a looooooooong drive.
It’s a veeeerrrrrryyyyyyyy loooooooooooooong drive. LOL! And this is the first wreck he’s ever had. He was shaken up, and when I talked to him, he said he was going across the street to Outback to chill and calm down. LOL!
Guess you’d better take the opportunity to burn that trash! Then you don’t have to fool with it for a while.
Oh...looky what I overlooked!
WOOOOHOOOOOO!!
I’m surprised he didn’t just fly down there. After the cost of repairs are considered with cost of gas, he might have come out paying less.
Just hope this is the last “excitement” of his trip.
Yep, gonna burn the trash tonight while it can be done. With all the dead leaves on the ground these days, don’t want to take a chance on starting a big fire.
Glad you did. LOL
Well, he didn’t know he was going to have a wreck and he loves road trips. I also hope there is no more of this kind of excitement!
Ok...you burn and I’ll crash. I’m sleepy after having to get up before I was ready this morning. LOL!
See ya mañana!!
How's it going for your this morning?
Heck, no one knows they’re going to have a wreck. LOL! He’s lucky to have gotten this far in life without having one. Maybe this will be it for him.
He’d HAVE to enjoy road trips to want to make that drive. Whew!
Got a couple of things to do then I’ll head out to burn. It isn’t too cold tonight so it’ll be a good night for it. The fire will keep me warm while I’m doing it.
Good night and sleep well.
Howdy, E.G.C.
Weather decent enough for you and Bo to enjoy your walks or has it gotten nippy enough to take the fun out of it?
