I just happened to pull up FR and there was the thread. LOL!

Not time for bed yet but I certainly won’t see the sunrise before hitting the sack. I’m surprisingly awake right now but we’ll see how long it lasts. I was able to g to sleep pretty quickly last night, for a change, and got more sleep than usual. Reckon I’m getting used to getting up early. That’s good because it’s a repeat this Saturday.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Yes, I am.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[mountainlion]

There are lots of photos of action, jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, shooting.... Unfortunately the military is mostly long hours of boredom, unless the weather is good.

[MoochPooch]

Evening, Kathy! Regards from NYC.

[radu]

Are you finally getting a chance to breathe now? :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Woohoo....another triple!! Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...hurrah for beautiful days.

Penny enjoying walking and keeping her feet dry?

Did you have pub night last night?

[Kathy in Alaska]

I was so tired from hiking and biking yesterday that I went to bed early...also, my dear sister fell and injured her wrist, so she wasn’t playing either.

She has a 3-hour gig coming up Saturday...pray her wrist is healed by then. Luckily, it’s the strumming hand, not the chord-making hand.

Penny likes the walks in the woods better than the pavement.

Which is good because I like that better too.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, mountainlion....glad these guys are busy. Train, train, train.
