I had to change my leave days due to training schedules so I’ll be down on the 30th probably in the afternoon and leave on Saturday with everyone else, and then be headed back up that next Sunday.
It’s looking like a busy summer for my shop, so I’m glad I managed to get any leave in at all. I need a break from TRACEN before I say or do something incredibly stupid and get into trouble that my warrant officer can’t get me out of.
Allow me to assist:
Just checking in from the wilds of Pennsylvania.
Nothing special, just a short visit. I’ll be back in my regular digs in a day or two.
Must be careful in the wilds of PA. Some parts are more Pensyltuckey than others...
If we were in the room, Kearen would insist on us bringing the toys to her.
If we were out of the room, she’d get them out herself and leave them in odd places.
Places you didn’t think a 26 pound holstein looking cat could get to.
That sounds fine. Did you email your grandmother?
I went to Mass with Sally, Pat, James, Vlad, Frank, and Kathleen ... and we all lived. There wasn’t even any blood.
‘Face says she got through the funeral of her sister-in-law, but it was very emotionally traumatic. I’ll be drinking wine for both of us again tonight! The rest of you are also welcome to imbibe, of course.
I didn’t. I think what I will do tomorrow is drive up to the other house and check the mailbox. It seems that nobody’s there, probably because the landlady can’t rent it out because it’s too expensive and she is a sociopath, so I’ll just pop over and look.
No ammo I wanted in Courthouse, just very cheap low-grain .30-30 and I didn’t want to put that through the Winchester. Maybe next week they’ll have more in. They did have a nice-looking used Walther PPK in the case for sale, but apparently I needed a firearms purchase card from the state even to pick it up and look at it.
I’ll do my part. Say, are we in the 1950’s?...
Anoreth’s in the 1940s, but that’s okay ... she can still email her grandmother, because her grandmother was born in 1938.
My feet hurt.
I have a little extra cash saved up. When I come down on leave I’ll look at a shotgun or a used pistol maybe. A PPK is indestructible.
Sure. I owe you a birthday present, too, although not another whole gun ;-).
The first time I saw Jonathan Winters was on Johnny Carson’s show. Johnny kept trying to get motor-mouthed hysterically funny Jonathan to stop talking because they had to run a commercial. They were ten minutes over. Jonathan said, “We’re going to be twenty.” I read later that he suffered from depression, but perhaps he was bipolar because he certainly looked manic to me. He was a great gift to us!
Thank you very much for checking in! See you soon!
26 lbs? Seriesly? Was she a Maine coon?
Uh oh. I’ll tipple prophylactically (sp?) for ‘Face. Thanks for letting us know.
Can you elevate your feet above heart level? Is it your shoes? I once had a sore foot that I favored, and the pain radiated up to my hip. Turned out that I have a metatarsal that was too long and the bones in my foot sort of bowed downward. Got shoes with a weird cutout in the sole from SAS and was happily ever after. That was scary. My job involved being on my feet, and being fast and strong. Fortunately, the shoes were the answer.
Good night and sweet dreams, y’all!
