Hiya Kathy!

Glad you woke-up :-)

100ish here today and the A/C is working great!

We have a couple of WWII (B-19 and a P-51) airplanes visiting our fair city and son and I are going to go check them out tomorrow.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...how is your physical therapy going?

Are you and Lynn-Dah enjoying walking in your new neighborhood?

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Kathy!
***HUGS***



Striding up the gangplank as we speak,
rendering Hand Salutes to our National Colors
and to the Officer of the Deck!
Thank you very much for this evening's
"Remembering Our Troops" thread!

I am actually starting to see an improvement in my knee ...less pain upon arising from a sitting position, more strength, balance, and range-of-motion...It’s WORKING! Hallelujah!

We have had to curtail our woodland walks due to poison ivy ((((SHUDDER)))).

Hi again, Kathy - this morning I got to the station and as I pulled in I saw a dozen or so DHS and Maryland ATF Police standing directly in front of my space. They boarded the train and spread out into the vestibules of each coach. They rode all the way into Washington with us.

Last evening we were hit with a line of strong thunderstorms - trees down in my neighborhood. I don't think it was a tornado, but from the damage I saw it must have been at least a microburst.

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces guarding our country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

Awesome that you knee is getting better! Have you had surgery recently? I guess I’ve missed something.

Hai

I was offered the job of being a skydive pilot (part time) - I get $20 per flight and on a good weekend I'll be up twelve hours a day so figuring around almost $80/hr it's not too bad. As for other flights, nothing in the wind right now.
