Good Morning CGs!
Its pretty wild to think it's already the end of August. I was thinking about it last night and it feels like tomorrow will be 2024. Going to be a hot one today around 100. The schools all cancelled any outdoor events or extra curricular activities. I need to get the Vette over to the self car wash today to clean the engine bay and undercarriage. Hope everyone has a great day! |

Morning guys.... Boy is that meme right, Matt.
Pretty warm already, 71. Headed to the mid 90s, so it could be worse. Cold front moving through this weekend with a chance for some moisture...I certainly hope so. Got to make a trip over to the city today to haul so left over pieces from the church garage sale. Other than that, not much on the agenda. |

Marcus, my cruise line suggestion would be Princess sailing from Whittier to Vancouver. I would book a package that includes the resorts Princess offers like the McKinley Lodge and Denali Lodge especially. There are a variety of packages available so you should find one to fit the bill. And it will be a hefty bill. But well worth it. I prefer off peak times. Early June or late September when the kids are back in school. But if you are traveling with kids late June or mid August would work well. Alaska is our favorite all around cruise value. Great scenery, wildlife and fresh air. Of course with us, the evenings are reserved for gambling.
https://www.princess.com/learn/cruise- ... uises/cruisetour-options/ Carnival goes round trip out of Seattle and is good if you just want to spend a week in Alaska going to ports. Remember that Carnival is more of a party atmosphereand a younger crowd. Princess is more our age and on Holland America GRIS would be on the younger side. The reason I say go from north to south is your primary spending will be in front of the cruise. Then you can board the ship and all your meals are taken care of. People that go from south to north are not too happy when they have to come out of their pocket for meals after they just ate for free all week on the cruise. |

good afternoon, hit triple digits here again today too but it don't feel as hot as it did yesterday. Humidity I suppose. Was out mid day getting my 3 month post kidney ct scans and doc visit. Got the all clear today so we do it all again in 6 months. She said he'd check me periodically, I was supposed to see him today she didn't know why they sent her in. Should see him next time. Do have a "non obstructive" stone on other kidney said they'd just keep an eye on it. elevated BP, high to me but didn't seem to be a concern to her. I see my PCP tomorrow. This getting old mess is bullcrap.
I've not cruised in several years, Hurricane Hugo to be exact. Too peopley for me. But would like to take a couple again, bang for the buck kinda thing. Is there one that don't have kids? I absolutely do not want to be anywhere near anybody's loud kids. |
