Having a blast in NC? I know. Stupid question. LOL
I hope you have a very Merry Christmas with the family.
Howdy, PRO.
Have a good weekend?
I’m glad you’ve been missing out on the chaos in the western side of the state.It’ll take them a year to dry out once it ever stops raining.
Howdy, luvie.
Did you get a good, long sleep? :-)
I spent 19 miserable months at the isolated Tobacco Road, viz., EOD School, US Naval Powder Factory, Indian Head, Md. Atendees were among the bravest men I have ever met.
My longest stint there was about a week, then back to WSMR.
Hey there, radu!
Yes, I did. Had zero pain anywhere for a change...didn’t get up till nearly noon. Perfection! I did have a hard time staying asleep for a nap, though. The thoughts just keep going round and round.
How was your day? Has the warmer weather finally shown up? Did you finish your pomander project?

Hi, Janey! Do you have a lot of holiday flights upcoming? Hope you get to spend time with your own family! Merry Christmas!
Zero pain? Great!!! That and a good sleep make for a really good night and day.
Our warm-up starts tomorrow. Today was mid 50s again with clouds and a stout wind as the warm front gets closer. The temp’s gone up a couple of degrees the past hour. 60s tomorrow, then 3 days of 70s.
Not done with the pomander ball yet. It’s taking forever. It’s a large orange and it’s taking a LOT of cloves to cover it. I was gone all afternoon so didn’t get to work on it until after supper. I’ll have it finished tonight though.
Well, zero THAT pain anyhow. I still have the “usual” every day pains, which really, when I think of what some of my friends go through, doesn’t amount to much.
Mid-50s doesn’t sound awful except for the darn wind. That kind of throws a wrench into the wind chill thingy. You’ll really enjoy those 70s. That’s what we’re having, only on the high end.
Do you tie a ribbon to one end of it so it can be hung up somewhere. If I recall, that’s what we did when I made one in school. We have some oranges that we got in a fruit basket gift. Maybe I should try one.
Nah...too much work.
