OCTOBER COFFEE POT Pancakes and Sausage for all

[Sturgeon-Phish]

Good evening from beautiful 72°F Southern Ohio,

 

The exchange student living with us hurt his leg in soccer practice yesterday.  Nothing broke or torn but his hip was twisted badly.  My bride was with him till almost midnight in the urgent care.

 

The roof is completed on the new garage and the cedar siding and garage door is ordered.  After that we’ll get the power to the garage via conduit, pouring the concrete apron and blending into the existing driveway, final grade and ground work and then I’ll start the interior electric.  Can’t wait to get the truck in out of the weather. 

 

Oldest girl went dress shopping with some friends for a dance and I was really proud of her choice.  She had a reasonable max price, modest cut and fit in mind and she stuck to it.  She is a great kid!

 

Joe – You never go wrong with pizza!

 

May God bless

 

Jim

Good evening all,

Good weather for soccer game.  Unfortunately, "my" soccer girls phoned this one in as they lost 10-0.  Work was busy.  Only games left are for the grandkids.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Good evening,

 Jim once the poor kid has experience with the health care system here he will want to go home.

My neighbor got his second opinion today and it is the same, as the first,,,,,,,, Lymphoma.

 Not sure yet how bad or what kind, next step is a PET scan.

 Pray for him.

Night.

[dougdagrump]

Kev,

Prayers on their way.

Morning all!

A bit overcast and 80's on tap today. Had a good rain yesterday so the humidity dropped just a little bit. We plan to go to the State Fair tomorrow.

Dennis - 80? I thought your freeways were so crowded you couldn't get over 35!

Kev - sorry about your neighbor

MikeC - hope next season is better! I had a couple of seasons like that with my basketball teams. Obviously no where to go but up!

York cometh!

[KRM]

Good morning,

Well I went to the hardware store and got new SS screws for the plow headlight buckets to replace the rusty ones and two self-tappers to bolt the elect connector to the bumper and that job is done. Let it snow!

 Light rain is the word for today. My friend Gene from Denton TX is coming over this afternoon and will spend the night for a visit. That will be nice. He has a sick Aunt in southern IL he needed to see so he figured as long as he was this close he would do a swing by and see all of us up here.

Just coasting the rest of today.

Thanks for the prayers for Brian guys!

[sir james I]

Detroit has 3 casinos and Michigan has them all over the place. My wife and I enjoy them it is our Disney or a pro sporting event. However we have a loss limit and that way we have an enjoyable afternoon and win or lose we had fun. But it is NOT the place to invest your future.

[Demay]

Guten abend,

Today's workday was a bit more normal, but after taking the older two kids to the doctor's office for check-ups, then driving them back and forth to soccer and ballet, I am tired. I did find time to have dinner with the wife and the youngest, but am now just settling down for the night and it's already 22:15. I will be off to bed soon.

Fife and Roy - I can barely speak english, let alone deutsche.  I can a say a few phrases (mostly dealing with food and beer); my wife is much better at it.

Prayers for Kev's friend and all of us in need.  

Good night,

Joe

[cheapclassics]

Good evening all,

Busy day at work.  Slightly damp at work, but still got my walk in.  Roy, I have been thru bad years before and there are more ahead before it might get better.   It is what it is.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mornin' boys.  Sunny & 60 in the Potomac Highlands.  Gonna be insanely busy next 4 days, as there is a combined B&O-WMHS convention in town.  Might see my mug on some pics.

Wifey's brother simply didn't respond to Kemo.  Running out of time.

[rtraincollector]

Fife prayers for your brother in law. Kevin prayers for your friend. Prayers for anybody I might of missed. 

Hope all have a good day

[wrmcclellan]

Morning gang!

Sunny, humid, 86 today. Headed to the State Fair mid-morning. Good day for it.

Joe - add "where's the restroom" to your repetoir and you will be set!

Dennis - haha - that is why casinos exist!

A buddy some years back took a family cruise. They opened the casino when they hit international waters. He said it was cheaper to take rolls of quarters and go fling quarters into the ocean - his money lasted longer and it was more fun...

Fife - prayers for your BIL - Kev - prayers for your friend

 Mike C - bummer - that is tough for the kids - It was sad/humorous when my kids would walk away exclaiming "we suck" - course getting them to realize that practice was not entirely play time - a different story...

[anjdevil2]

Fife - prayers for your BIL, that sucks Kevin - prayers for your friend Quick fly by - at work, I'm beat spent the night in my bed at the house I bought....geez, I gotta get a new mattress.. My cat Smurf was happy, he slept with me all night. Kids arrived in FLA this morning, they'll be gone until the 13th... Not much else - back to the Rat Race

[KRM]

Good afternoon,

Nice here today.

Got a beer headache from drinking with Gene last night. Got to pick up the grand-kids this afternoon so they can spend the night. Not much else, for tooday.

Prayers for your BIL Fife, bummer.

[lion88roar]

Afternoon fellas

Fife - prayers for your BiL. When TheQ's mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer 2 months after our wedding there was nothing they could do. Most painful month and a half of my life.

Kev - prayers for your friend

That's what happens when you haven't had much in a long time.

Just found out there are a number of craft distilleries in the area that are making corn and rye whiskies from local farms. My FiL confiscated a really good white rye whiskey that I picked up at the county fair a few weeks ago. When TheQ returns from her tour of the eastern US I'm hoping we can make a trip to a few and restock.

If I had been a better planner I would have checked with Fife to see if he would be up for a few visitors this weekend... not looking like I could swing it now.

[Demay]

Guten abend,

I am posting this quite late as I had a busy day and now it is time for bed. I am looking forward to the long weekend and trying to decide if we want to leave town for the weekend. I don't want to drive far; I'm thinking no more than three hours.  There is plenty to see out here in that range but I have to remember to find places the kids will enjoy.

Fife - Sorry to hear about your BIL.  I will say a prayer for him and your family.

Roy - I only need one word for that: I say "toiletten?" and they point me where I need to go. 

Good night,

Joe

Good Day All !

The results of the PET scan seem to have been like a good news/bad news result. Good news being that there was no other cancer anywhere but the bad news was the location and size of the existing tumor. Due to it's  size and proximity to the diaphragm and the liver that the risk is to high for surgery at this time. The surgeon wants me to be on the anti-cancer drugs for a few months then re-evaluate to see if the tumor has shrunk enuff to reduce the risk.

Back later, gotta run.  

[cheapclassics]

Good evening all,

Too wet to walk today.  Got one headache done today.  Should finish other one tomorrow.  Wife and I went to see the Kingsman tonight.  Good flick.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

TGIF! !!!!!!!

Only a few more to go.

Off too PT Back later.

 

Prayers for those in need 

[KRM]

Good morning,

Well I have been up for a hour and I am already beat. 

Having both of the grand-kids at once is like having two Tasmanian devils   in the house.

I like those bump stocks and was thinking of getting one before all of this, but you can bet your britches that won't happen now. 

DougDG, I will pray the meds help get you to where you need to be for surgery.

[wrmcclellan]

Burp - recovering from the fair - had a great time and saw some awesome acts (20 trained cats? Who'd a thunk it?), some great horsemanship/trick roping, ..., toured a couple of nice tiny house...

[Banks]

Hello there,

Lot’s going on Mrs and I spent a couple of evenings canning maters this week. Mom seems to be settling down at the home. Tuesday we drove to Cumberland for a visit to the Gyne doc. A follow up to last year’s cancer scare. Clean slate there. Now a mammogram and follow up with the surgeon.

 

Had hoped to get together with Fife while in Cumberland but we had to head north for a visit with my ortho doc. Doing well and ahead of schedule there.

 

The thing in Vegas still boggles my mind. …sending prayers their way.

 

Unusually warm and dry fall to this point. There is a little color in the trees around here but most are turning brown and starting to drop leaves. Noticed signs of the same thing the whole way to Cumberland the other day. Most of the silage corn is cut. The shelling corn isn’t quite ready and the soy beans are getting close.

 

Grandson has opted to skip the last dirt drag Saturday. He’s far enough ahead in one class that no one can beat him for points. The other class is so so. But unless there is an unusually large turn out the worst he can do is 2^nd but probably 1^st there too. The father of the injured boy is coming home to hunt for the day (to my knowledge he hasn’t been home since the accident labor day weekend) and SIL and grandson are going to join him.

 

Son has designs on me spending the weekend helping him farm…..NOT. There is a train show in Altoona Sunday. I’ll be there. Also some yard work to do and several naps to get in.

 

JOE.........welcome back

 

ROY………looks like it’ll be You, Laz, Mrs and I at YORK

 

Doug…………Prayers

 

Well I best get back to the SS fund.

Good evening all,

Quiet day at work.  Good weather for walk.  Watched Blue Bloods with wife.  AJ announced Tony Kanaan will be driving the 14 car next season.  I hope this works out.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Guten morgen,

I ran out of time to post yesterday. The workday was as busy as expected and then I was taxi duty for our daughter as she had ballet classes. After that, the wife and I enjoyed a nice dinner out. We have a favorite restaurant we visit about once every three months. Their menu has some great classic French dishes and also seasonal dishes. Yesterday, I had duck mousse (foie gras) as an appetizer, then salmon, followed by crepes for dessert.  Of course there was wine. Today or tomorrow we will travel to Stuttgart; it is the last weekend of their Volksfest. It is their version of Munich's Octoberfest but more family-oriented. I have never been to it but I hear it great fun and much less touristy.

Thanks Banks.

Dougdagrump - I hope the meds have the desired effect.

Have a great day,

Joe

[fifedog]

Thanks for the well-wishes folks.  I shall pass them on to Wifey.

Demay - My oldest girl is Morgan.  She wasn't very Guten growing up...

V8Vega - My border collie just chased something big from behind our house.

Roy - So you can heard them after all.  Who knew?

Banks - Train show?  What's a train show....?

[KRM]

Slow recovery from the stay of the kids. They both do well on the elect motocycle.

We did the Moose last night for fried chicken and fish. Wife had jumbo shrimp and I had 1/2 chicken all white meat. We both had a beer and it was $17.00, Can't beat that.

Had a light rain over night. No plans for today.

[sir james I]

A warm 80 today BUT that 80 might spoil tonights football game between our 2 big Michigan rivals. Storms are expected near the end of the game. I see that RMT is now back, I wonder how soon the big warehouse finds will start.

I don't see anything about the MP15 they were to have on the new web site???

S.J. 

Start?? I never knew they ended. Seems about every month or so he's been finding more and more in his warehouse that has to be about 20 sq miles in size by all he has found hidden in there

[dougdagrump]

Howdy all !

A little disappointed yesterday, had hoped to start my cancer drug today but somebody dropped the ball. Out of force of habit I sent an e-mail to my oncologist who issued the prescription with regards to drug compatibility. Oops, seems the Atorvastatin and Carvedilol, that I have been taking for years, don't agree with the Votrient. Another delay. Hopefully my cadiologist and the oncologist can get together and figure something out.

Just found out yesterday that a long time good friend of ours that her nephew, while shielding his wife from the Vegas shooting, got hit twice in the back. The Good Lord must have been looking out for him, the hits were one on each side of his spine but did no permanent damage. He's already home and walking just fine. They didn't remove the slugs, proboly want to wait till all the swelling goes down and then re-evaluate.

Been trying to put together the Hallween layout in the garage but it seems like it is slow going. Work for an hour or so then have to take a break for a couple of hours, oh well I got just over three weeks to finish.

Hhhmm, I thought RMT closed when Walter retired.

Later y'all
