Well, today she was hurting real bad and went to the doctor and it turns out that she has at the least a bruised rib, but it looks like it is fractured in one spot. She's on a lot of medicine for the pain, but the doctor says that she is very vulnerable to pneumonia right now. I sure hope she's well enough to come to Lincoln and meet everyone on Saturday.
Busted rib is not a comfortable thing.
Keep an eye on her, it can be very painful at time.
Hope you can make it, but if you have to or want to stick around there with your mom, thats a cool thing too.

Will do..
We have to drive past the State Troopers Barracks.
DPS has fast, fast cars...including a "race blown" Chevy Camaro...
Besides, you can never out run a Motorola...I know from experience.
Just gonna cruise around 80 or so...when the eyelids get heavy, we will find a motel.
Out the door in about 3 hours...
XO says she has the navagation down to a science...hope its not a mad type...
looks like we will drive till we run out of hills and such, might stop for the night in the flat lands...
Now departing. Eastern Iowa tonight, we hope, Lincoln tomorrow. We oldsters (some of us, anyway) have to get out and stretch at times, among other things.
Brian, sorry Joanie can't make it. I'm not sure Pat and I will be much protection for you; it may help that she can't stand the sight of blood (or maybe that's only hers or mine).
Handshakes and hugs being stored in trunk for liberal use Saturday. Safe journeys (and good weather!), everyone! Just hang on, SJ!

Good afternoon.
I hope all of the travelers have safe journeys over the next few days. We don't want to hear about any accidents!
Ed - You won't need your snow shovel yet. It actually looks really warm for Saturday (speaking in Nebraska standards). Highs are looking to be in the mid 80s under sunny skies. I'll bet that's cold for you, Ed!
Anyway, that's all I've got for today. Everyone stay safe!
Should I get a snow shovel and a box of MREs just in case?

You mean there are other settings beside Max A/C?

Ok, so I should dig out the artic parka or what? We usually wear shorts and tee shirts till January down here... I heard that water in Houston freezes at 59 degrees. Best pack several pair of long underwear, maybe buy a pair of snowmobile boots and coveralls and take a quick course in artic survival. Aside from that, you should be fine. Safe travels Jay

Even if you put stickman unihead in Carharts and a parka from Cabellas, all he'd have to do is step in between the snowflakes, turn sideways and disappear. Besides, the Dodge hotrod he has, has a heater in it that probably has never been used outside of the windshield defroster er... um... defogger....
...somehow I bet Aimee is going to write the whole lot of us off....

Yea, me too Carl. Mabee spring or next year. Hope you all have a great trip. Drive safe and enjoy.

And if you are looking for the M D line...head over to my home state of Pennsylvania and enter the southern border....bingo...you will find it.

Is going to be a nice weekend.My niece needs my help to get something from our company store and guess what??? they are having a train show at the village too. soo that shouldnt be a problem. they are also having a chili cook off too so that takes care of lunch(sorry cw) but will have plenty of room for the pizza on saturday night.can you tell its friday yet????here have some more coffee mookie.
Sure wish I could be along for the trip, but many things call here. At least I have Friday off, due to the holiday on Monday.
No word from son yet today. I'm presuming they got as far as they wanted to, and he will be headed north shortly this morning. Last time I talked to him, he said they got rocked pretty good east of Columbus.
Colder here, by 10 or more degrees. Fall is starting to rear its head...
As for breakfast, I'll have some of what Houston Ed had, but scramble the eggs...

Get here late Sat night! Sure! Only Mason Dixon Line you will find is when you will be sitting across the table from the Yankees of Lincoln. Time to kick back and enjoy the party. You know you are going to have fun when you are comfortable enough with all your guests that you don't make any real plans. Only one reservation and that is because the restaurant is big on no surprises! Weather will be clear and sunny - 85 Sat. Cooler Sunday - but nothing out of the ordinary. Mutt/CW - I was going to ask when you were going to have a new addition. Been reading my mind again haven't you! Maybe we will find this "new addition" on the forum soon? Hmmm? Well - off to have my nails done - I think Blue would be nice. And a big Purple Bow for behind my ear? Maybe have my fur done in a light pink? Now I am in a quandry!
