Hi Everybody!

((((HUGS))))

[PROCON]

I’m psyched-up and ready for tomorrow. My long Thursdays have become quite easy since I’ve been doing it for almost 2 years. It’s a perfect, 12 hours/week part-time retirement job.

Good evening, SilentG...just got home from work.

Glad you enjoy and remember our troops.

[Kathy in Alaska]

For sure those blades kicked up a bunch of snow. LOL!

Happy prepping for winter, mountainlion. We had an unexpected mid-day rain fall. 3/10 at my house.

And we have termination dust on the mountains.

[Kathy in Alaska]

It is fantastic that you found just the perfect retirement job.

Congratulations!!

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

THANK YOU
for your service!

[E.G.C.]

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

How's everyone doing this morning?

[radu]

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

Have you and Gizmo had fun adventures the past couple of days?

[E.G.C.]

((LOL)) Well, as we arrived at Wichita ridge yesterday we saw a deer run by. As you probably know by now Gizmo has a habit of running and chasing deer so I had to keep him on the leash so he wouldn't run off.

And, OH THOSE MAYFLIES!!!!!!!! We had to battle numerous swarms of them while we were out there too. No fun at all.

Other than that we had a great time.

[radu]

Good thing you had him on the leash already or you’d still be looking for him. LOL He wouldn’t have given up on chasing that deer.

UGH on the Mayflies! They sure ruin the fun.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, Mayor...no worries.

I’ve had nothing by trouble all evening with slow and timing out and you can’t get there from here. Giving up and going to bed. (midnight)
