Feeding Our Troops At 19 Below Zero!

Breakfast items are set in trays inside a mobile kitchen trailer in Helena, Montana, Feb. 2, 2022. The Soldiers had to endure temperatures as low as minus 19 while providing food for the fighting force as part of the Phillip. A. Connelly Active Field Competition. The Field Competition puts all aspects of a culinary team’s field capabilities under a microscope to include food quality, creativity and proficiency. (U.S. Army Photo by Spc. Jordan S. Worthy)

I will get to bed earlier than usual, but still lots of stuff to do. We had our third employee resign, so we are back to 2 and Ruthe has to fill in as the third. The units we shared among 3 are now back to 2.

[radu]

That was the last thing y’all needed. You’ve needed one more for quite a while. Now you need two more. *sigh*

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

It was really nice. Very nice breeze and 75 for a high. It’s supposed to be windy tomorrow, but it was nice to have quiet today.

Hope things are warming up over there pretty soon! Know you’re tired of having to wear shoes. ;)

[PROCON]

Hi Kathy, our Spring is being slow to warm-up although I see next week will improve.

Just waiting for the lawn to grow a bit more for the first mowing.

[radu]

Ooooooo, that sounds like perfect weather you had. I reckon the wind tomorrow is ahead of the front that’s coming across the country. We have another night of yeeha Friday when it comes through here and it will be very windy ahead of it.

Not too bad here today. Still a little cool but it wasn’t very windy. Just enough of a breeze to leave me wearing grass when I finished mowing. LOL

Tomorrow will be back to flip flops weather. Feets will be happys.

[luvie]

Yes, it will bring a bit cooler weather...for a few days. Then it’s supposed to be about 85 on Sunday. Well, it is April, so I shouldn’t be surprised.

Are you still loving the new mower? I hope all those grass cuttings haven’t destroyed your sinuses. Ahhh...CHOO! 🤧

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

We made it through hump day. Hope your week is going as planned.

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Kathy in Alaska]

3rd!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, luvie...GREAT graphic! We will remember.

[radu]

We’ll cool off into the 60s again for the weekend, then back up into the 70s Monday. Not too bad a roller coaster ride but a ride nonetheless.

Today’s the first day I’ve mowed with the new mower. It’s a pretty good li’l sucker, I will say. The grass is long and thick in some spots and it went through that grass with no problem at all. I’m glad Hubby’s cousin brought his over for me to try out. I got one just like it.

Surprisingly, my allergies aren’t cranked up and that’s fine with me!

[radu]

Thanks!

I was ready this evening. :-)

[luvie]

Hi, Kathy ((hugs))....and thank you. We MUST honor them. It’s a privilege.

[luvie]

Imagine having to mow....and being able to enjoy it! I, too, am glad that he showed you his and that it was so easy to use. Worth every penny to keep things looking all spiffed up!

I am surprised that your allergies didn’t flare. All I have to do is think of the odor of newly-mown grass and want to sneeze. LOL!

[radu]

Well, it wasn’t 100% enjoyable. The ground is very lumpy and it beat me to death, bouncing around. My back wasn’t happy when I stopped, and I stopped sooner than I really wanted to. Had no choice if I want to get out of bed in the morning.
And morning, it will be. The Republican women’s group is having a surprise birthday party for one of the gals and I need to go to bed now so I can get up in time.

Catch ya tomorrow.

[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.

Yesterday at Wichita Ridge:

How's everyone doing this morning?

[luvie]

Uh-oh. Aching back not a good thing. I hope the heating pad does its trick tonight. Have fun at the meeting. See ya tomorrow night.

When again does the museum open? It must be pretty soon, right?

[Getready]

Big time Kudos to everyone....thanks for the work you do for our armed forces.

[luvie]

Hey there, Early Birds!
Yep...I'm late, but I'm here now!
How 'bout those troops!
Aren't they just the hardest working folks?
Hope all y'all have a Thank-The-Troops Thursday!
It's windy here...again. Surprise!
(((hugs)))
