You having any melt off?

No melt off yet...I even had to pay to have a dump truck load of snow hauled away so my plow guy has someplace to put new snow. The dump truck was big, big I'm surprised how small a dent the load put in my lawn.

[Kathy in Alaska]

The sunshine does have that effect. And 54? Not bad!

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! You can handle it. Stay warm!

[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]

So we’ll be warmer than you again? Weird.

It does look cold at Anchorage, doesn’t it? The runway crews are staying busy tonight keeping the runways cleared. Doing a good job, I reckon, because cargo planes are taking off and landing with no problems.

I won’t fall asleep at the meeting. My problem is always remembering everything later. LOL My memory stinks anyway but it’s worse when my brain is in a fog from lack of sleep.
I go to bed early-ish but don’t go to sleep for a while.

I guess I need to get going on cat litter boxes and the other things that need to bed done. That’ll take about an hour.

Have “fun” at the doctor’s office tomorrow. Ugh.

[radu]

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

Just getting ready to shut things down and get ready for bed and saw you’d popped in.

Did Gizmo break in your new boots real well at Chisolm Trail Park yesterday?

[luvie]

Ugh is right. I hate going, but at least I only have to once a year. He wanted to see me after 6 months, but I said no. I’m not sick. Of course, then I got sick. LOL!

Yep...it is hard for a night owl to go to bed early. Good luck with that. And have fun with the galz tomorrow! Hope it’s not too chilly to enjoy being out.

[Kathy in Alaska]

*sniff* what a great picture of one of our heroes. Thanks, luvie.

[luvie]

It’s one of those “heart-tuggers”. So many of them.

[luvie]

?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...you and Gizmo headed to the lake today?
Have fun being dragged all over the place by Gizmo as he enjoys his adventure.

You boys have a great Thursday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

wh!!

luvie.....#50!!

[E.G.C.]

Hey folks, our ISP had server maintenance this morning and it went down for a few minutes but it's back up now.

But yes Gizmo did help me break in those new boots. We had a great walk through the park yesterday. These were the headshots I got.

It was a really nice day yesterday:

The rest of the pics:

We do have a slight chance of rain in the forecast for today. We plan on doing Chisolm Trail Park later today.

Got a couple snow storms but not much snow. Has a cold spell where it got below zero but not now. Lots of wind which drys things out and made some drifting. Not too bad of a winter.

Gooood very late morning, Early Birds!
I had to get lab work done.
The nurse was good...needle didn't hurt.
It's chillier today.

Wish these clouds had rain in them.
Hope everyone has a Not-too-Thrilling Thursday.
