Good evening all,

Sunny day.  Went for a five mile walk outdoors at local Y.  Windy.  Body was fine while walking but ached liked thunder when I got home.   Did very little else today.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Good Morning from Beautiful 28°F Southern Ohio, 

Things are beginning to get back to a normal mode.  Two of the kids had practice yesterday, and getting the house reassembled.  And Saturday is when I usually clean the chicken coop. 

My bride has developed a bad cold so I've picked up a lot of the stuff she normally does.  Lucky for us there were lots of leftovers in the fridge.  I can cook but it is not something I look forward to doing. 

We have no plans for this evening.  The kids may have some friends over, but that’s not a big deal.  They're good kids and for the most part low maintenance.  I have services on the West side of the county this weekend so I'll be on the road a bit. 

Old Timer – Good to see you posting again 

Lee – Prayers for you bride to get better 

RT – Nice Christmas presents 

Rich – Prayer for the cataract surgery being successful 

Chief – I remember the Ohio car! 

The end of 2016 is a good time to reflect on our blessings and challenges from the past year, and pray that in 2017 we keep God at the center and focus of our life. 

May God bless 

Jim

Thanks for the quote there Jim. Is it ever true, with my family anyway. With all I went thru starting tuesday after labor day. I'am just grateful to still be here. I look at what we have compare to what we left a little over a year ago. There isn't a day go by I don't think about our blessing's. I pray for others to have great blessing this coming year. We have had some sad news and bad news this year here and we also have had some great news. Lets hope the great news can out weigh any sad/bad news this coming year. 

Happy new years all Hope the new year brings in good news to you all.Will talk to you all later, maybe next year will be the first I come and comment in here again.

Life's hard, even harder if your stupid  John Wayne

Hello there,

an early HAPPY NEW YEAR to all.

Been a busy week here even with out work. (Spend Thursday and Friday afternoon there) Got a few things around the house done.

Last evening tragedy struck the next county. A young PA State Trooper was shot and killed while serving a PFA. Please add a prayer for him. A State Trooper friend will retire June 24 and it can't come soon enough for him.

Tonight will be spent quietly at home. Probably be in  bed before the ball drops.

Glad to see Old Timer back. Best get on with the day.

Prayers for those in need

Good morning all.  Cold and windy.  Cut hunting trip short and came back last night.  Cold and real windy down east.  Flat land and most folks have cut their timber due to high timber prices.  Wind whips across those big fields.  End of the season for me as Monday is rain.  Enjoyed it.  This trip was the first one I did not see deer.

Will start 2017 Pot as, like most of you, us old geezers will probably be snoring by midnight.  Sure glad to see more posters.  Welcome back Old Timer.  Stay healthy.  Others too.  RT, especially you.

Fifey, gather up those flamingos and keep them warm.

God bless all and have a great and safe 2017.

An early happy new year to all in case I'm late tomorrow.

Ole Timer, welcome back to the living.  Hope you're going to continue getting better.

I had a problem myself on Thursday.  To make a long story short, I went to the ER for some kind of medicine interaction I thought. I had a swollen tongue and and difficulty swallowing.  They admitted me and kept me there for 24 hours.  They pumped me full of medicine.  They still don't know if it was caused by an insect bite, food or medicine but I am OK now but tired.  I had to fast the first day in the hospital.  Eating like a horse now.  Saw Helen yesterday, staying home today and going back to see her tomorrow.

Ray

Goin to bed soon.

P.S. don't know the details but the cop killer died at the hands of the cops today. Saved the state a bunch of money.
