Kathy and FRiends, a day late for my anniversary. I was recruited by the canteen.

Since Sep 25,1998

FReepersonaltrainer
I retired from the USAF, serving 22 years, as a meteorologist for 10 and aerospace engineer for 12. I worked in early military weather satellite operations. I switched to launch ops of other military and civil space missions. My civilian career was 15 years consulting to the USAF in the same areas. Always a Republican,I became more conservative after my VietNam tour.

The Air Force turned me into a gym rat. I have been certified by the American Council on Exercise(ACE) and I am a member of the Senior Fitness Association. Here in Maine I train new gym members in trade for my membership. Larry

Good morning to everyone at the Canteen. Another 70º morning here. I intend to get all my gardening done today.

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning beach and (((HUGS))).

[E.G.C.]

((HUGS)) Good morning, Beach.

Well, they rescheduled the flu shots at the pharmacy for October 8th.

Yesterday was supposed to have been the day for the shots. I went over there and sat down and watched TV for a few minutes. Noticed nobody there but the pharmacist, his assistant and a customer.

Something didn't seem right so I walked to the door and looked at the message and it turns out they did reschedule it to October 7th. Apparently, the shipments didn't arrive in time.

So, I'll be going back to the pharmacy on October 7th for the flu shots.

How's it going for you this morning, Beach?
