Good evening everyone! We are off to Alaska!
Still at work here, so gotta scoot for a bit.
Have a great evening!
*HUGS*
WOO-HOO, our Road Trip takes us to Alaska tonight, thanks Lauren!
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU
for your service!
Howdy, lauren.
Don’t work too hard! Hope you have a minute to pop back in before you crash and burn for the night.
Will the new place fit all the kittehs?
Good weekend for me, son and I did the range on Saturday, handguns and trap shooting and then hung out for awhile.
Lazy today, just a few errands.
Howdy, PRO.
Did you have a good weekend? Make it out to the shooting range?
We finally got some rain and cooler temps over the weekend! ‘Bout flippin’ time! LOL
LOL! We were typing at the same time.
So you did make it out to the range. Cool! I know you two have a blast out there.
Moving is still at a standstill. Hubby’s still messing with stuff over there. *sigh* But it’ll happen eventually.
And yes, da kittehs will have plenty of room in that house.
I was stationed there TDY for a few weeks in winter back in 1968 and 1969. My crew chief decided to stay drunk at the barracks every night while I went into Fairbanks when off duty.
On our last night there he was at the aircraft on the flight line griping about not having a good time in Alaska, and said “And I haven’t even seen the Northern Lights!”
I said....”Well, look up!”
He did and said ...”Well I’ll be dam-ed!”
I had seen the Northern Lights every night. Beautiful!
WOOHOO! Alaska here we come! Sorry I’m late...they told us we had to move today back to our renovated space. I’m tired and just now found my laptop and finally my mouse.
Thanks for today’s Road Trip to Eielson AFB. Just heard on the radio that the general area has a weather warning...could be a foot of snow. We are scheduled for possible snow later this week.

Stationed there twice. Loved it.
Howdy, Kathy.
Sounds like your week is getting off to a rough start. I feel for ya.
Is your new space as roomy as you hoped for?
Howdy, radu!
Did you finally get that rain you’ve been wishing for? It looked like you were and it was raining at DH.
We haven’t, so hubby is watering now. I hope it’s not too late for the grass in our front yard. It’s been so beautiful all summer but looked sick yesterday.
Howdy, LUV.
Yes, we got some rain last night and again today but all we got, total, was .55 of an inch. SHEESH!! They got 4-plus inches in some areas in west TN.
At least it’s wet enough to burn trash now and I’m trying to drum up the energy to haul all that stuff out to the burn pile.
Man! I’d be dancing in the street if we got that much. LOL! I know it’s not fun to haul trash, but better do it while it’s still dampish! Hope more is coming for you.
My sister and her husband are based there.
We’re happy that we got SOME rain but it was VERY frustrating to watch the system stall and dump most of its moisture before finally moving east. There wasn’t much left for us. That happens all too often.
There’s a slight chance for rain this weekend but ‘slight’ gives us little hope here. Just have to hope we get lucky.
At least it’s cooled down a lot. Only 66 for the high this afternoon and I needed a light jacket when I ran a couple of errands. It felt pretty good!
