Good mornin. Back from the break. Quote:
Here I go making it through life to this point and a fricken virus comes around to rain on my parade. I'm almost thinking we should all go out and have everybody hug everybody for a week or two. Then all of us come down with it and let the chips fall where they may. It's almost like the bad plot of a movie I saw where big pharm was working with politicians to take over the world. No doubt they will runs out of names for the virus (like names for hurricanes) and will have to go to Delta II and Omnicon II and so on. |

The cruise was OK. Just OK. The virus did it's part to hamper the "normal" cruise activities. Not in a hurry to rebook a future cruise but Sue and I both have free balcony certificates if we should choose to use them. They ARE time sensitive. Just on our regular cruise choices I could book over a dozen free cruises over the next year. Hell I still have credits for two airlines I have to book by the end of the year or just lose the money I paid. I also have 2 midweek free casino hotel nights and Sue has 3 anytime nights. That Guitar hotel now charges over well $500 a night. I'm sick of this Vulcan virus .
On the home front. The Vulcan egret has been killing a shitload of fish at our backyard pond. The petsitter was freakin out a little bit at all the dead fish. That happened because I wasn't here to run that sonofabitch off. I'm back and you feathered predators are in for a rude awakening. (Remember the movie Caddyshack?) It's kinda like that only with birds. https://youtu.be/GFpm2LR0sGQ And another quick one. I ran into a guy that was wearing a Corvette shirt while I was on the ship. I asked him "Do you have a Vette or just like the shirt?" He answered "I have 4 Corvettes.". Two C-5's. A C-6 Grand Sport and a 2019. Don't have to tell ya where the conversation went from there. Later guys. I've said too much already. |

Good morning, all. Like Gris said yesterday, winter is (also) here—25 degrees when I woke up this morning. |

Good afternoon y’all - cold here too will be 25 tonight I think then we get back up near 70. Have tried to stay to myself today and rest my body and mind , still thinking I might nap. Kinda late but I’m tired.
Matt it does look bad here but not too many pics in news media. They didn’t care about us much , just other towns around here . We lost our fire dept, ambulance base , nursing home, over 200 homes, some businesses etc. we’re a small town it was a big hit for us. The FD whole roof landed in my aunts front yard . A few pics attached, the first few are nursing home. The one showing a whole part of a ring gone was her old room prior to Covid. Good thing she wasn’t in there anymore. One lady and her baby hid in their tub and were thrown into the street, they’re doing fine. I don’t see how no one was hurt that I know of in this whole town the way these houses here were leveled. The one with door and tv standing, dude was hid in room that’s still standing. The nursing home ones I still don’t see how nobody was hurt. Was a job rolling beds and wheelchairs through that Attach file: 50271FCF-FC99-4F8E-B1D5-E8C14087B53C.jpeg (114.10 KB) CF7520BB-18C0-457D-91DD-34E4DE6B1BFC.jpeg (162.81 KB) C0C33CE7-D127-4271-B30C-1D427992B06F.jpeg (192.05 KB) D5298E0F-66E9-4060-9A4D-4589E9B79BB5.jpeg (108.29 KB) 835362E9-B901-41E9-934D-191AC8C55788.jpeg (184.28 KB) AA5633D3-D1AF-4BAF-8F54-B8213791711A.jpeg (192.82 KB) 2C474D8A-A55F-420A-A325-D284CE6292C2.jpeg (203.80 KB) 0A118AFD-8FA5-48DC-9F1C-926D205C8B95.jpeg (140.26 KB) CDD612D3-0FB3-444D-860A-550BB610F93F.jpeg (159.34 KB) 1E39F247-A106-458D-B056-2DA28CB64D11.jpeg (106.85 KB) 3BCAAB97-DF1B-4B8D-8D6B-3B08FE1F8385.jpeg (143.91 KB) |

Letty, that's a terrible disaster. Sorry for those affected but glad there are no reported fatalities. Structures can be rebuilt. The mindset will change. None the less there is a long hard road to recovery ahead. Mother Nature can be brutal.

Hey guys, up early and on the road to home. Once home, I went straight to work prepping for kitchen job tomorrow. Separated the cabinet pieces to prepare for assembly and then install.
Letty that is some serious damage there. Most of those appear to have no basements...is that the norm there? Here, basements are, almost, mandatory. Been pretty chilly here too. But the next few days, we will be experiencing a warming trend. |

Wow, Letty. Terrible to see pictures like that.
Tommy, welcome home. He might have had 4 Corvettes but I bet he didn't have 2 porch-as. |
