February frost calls for fresh coffee, and a new thread

[Major 2]

Welcome to the second Month of 2022 

Have to break in a new Doc. office today, (just for biannual re-up on check & med's)
My new Medicare plan for 2022 required a change in provider.

Frankly I'm glad, the prior office kept passing me around the office

Wife has that problem, I solved mine the same way you did, keep nagging her.

Had a cardio appointment but do to a rash decision we cancelled for a couple weeks since it was just a check.  My rash, think I have it figured out but we'll see, full report later.

Good morning, coffee's on and 52 already here. Supposed to hit 64, but we will see. Happy February to all of ya.

I'm sure it's nothing a little penicillin won't fix. 

Afternoon all.

Got home to Missoula around 12:30am. Had just enough time to shower, drink a glass of water and lay down before it was time to get up for work. And another early-up tomorrow.

Got the news back on my CBP application. "Thanks for applying, try again later." I attribute it to Providence, I suppose. So now the Mrs. and I are figuring out our next steps in life.

Bit of ice and sn** here, but no blizzard.... yet. used some near boiling water to un-freeze the car door, got to work and-no mail. Amazon made it in with some packages but the mail processing plant is shut down. So, an early day.

What happened to the Postal Services' slogan?

Ha! Like minds ...I thought the same thing...Good on you PE   

So far, the new Dr. is to my liking....
Not that I'm bigoted, but he is a HE, a real MD (not a PA) maybe in his mid-sixties, a bit portly, and AMERICAN.
I'm comfortable with that combination   

[DeaconKC]

Good evening folks, getting ready for a bunch of ice here tonight. Got gas for the generator, so we can still have necessities like coffee if lines go down. Y'all be safe!

Was +1 when I took the kid to school, +13 now.

I used to love when it got cold---er, on the rare occasions here we'd get a hard freeze.
We hadn't seen one of those since 2012, and then only a few hours near morning.
Then last Sat. & Sunday we reach that and a dip below....
I slept with electric blanket, and pretty much wrapped up in it part most of the day 

When I was working on "Gods & Generals" in Maryland (2001) I saw and felt single digits.
and actually, this flatlander was fricking FREEZING.
Leather Bomber jacket & flannel shirt, Balaclava, wool gloves, but my shoes were NOT up to the task.

So, when you guys say -8 snow and ICE, I feel for you.
It reached 82° briefly around 2: ish it's now, 78°, Sat & Sun. we will see low 50's.
Not rubbing it in, just saying I don't like it COLD anymore, now that I'm..... well..... OLD!

[DeaconKC]

Afternoon folks. Got about 3-4" of freezing rain then snow. 25 here right now. Been a good day for coffee and staying in with old movies.

[pony express]

Total about 6-8" here. Mail truck didn't arrive until after noon, so we just sorted mail for tomorrow, didn't go out at all. Did paper work computer entries all afternoon
