Hot August Nights with Coffee & Tea.

[Delmonico]

I'm here, had to get up and get blood draw, went to Wally and got the things I needed from there, found a  pair of old man black tennis shoes with Velcro for about $20, can't see paying more for them, it's not like I'm going to run the Boston Marathon in them or even run.  Made it this far today, with out pain and muscle relaxers, just this far, Got to go to Costco later but need a fill up on my antibiotics bag at 3:45. 

Wife was hungry and we stopped down town to Ala Babba and got those Greek Gyro things, I waited in the car and the guy knows us and asked how I was.  Rita stopped there last hospital visit and he asked why just one, she told him so today he asked about me.  Don't go there more than 5-6 times a year but he asks if it's the usual.

Good morning! 76 here already, heading for 89 today. A week from today heading up to see two of my Aunts around St Louis and then up to Iowa to see the newest great-niece. Should be a nice trip. Y'all be good today!

Been awake some today, slept most of it, they tell me it's good for me.

Morning Slim and all you fine folks. 69 here right now, supposed to hit 90 today. After the last few weeks, feels pretty good. Doc appointment this morning, then taking the Missus to lunch. Load the truck this afternoon for a Match tomorrow. Lifting my coffee cup to you all.

Not quite settled as to what to do today, might go to the LGS  no real reason (as if I need one)
no clams in the sack for trading, don't you know?

Might go do some display dressing at the U-see-UM,
  maybe lunch at the Wok n Roll or PF Chang's 

Ain't being retired great?

Ain't being retired great? 

Sometimes, at least I don't have to call in when I'm sick.

[Delmonico]

I'm up, been sleeping good, was awake for about an hour before I got up, didn't hurt and was enjoying it.

Greetings all.

Not much to report. Everything here is muddy from a gully washer while I was trying to sleep. That's about all there is to report from the Dark Continent.

Had a CAS match today, great weather and a lot of fun stages. Had my first popper today, got one out of two, so I was happy doing that with a coach gun. Even wore my new bowler hat today.

Added a small filler display representing the Mexican Border/ Punitive Raid, between the Span-Am exhibit and the new WW1 Trench Exhibit (very near completion, mostly final set dressing)

another display

We have a 1942 Wehrmacht Truppenfahrrad  "Troop Bicycle" in the Museum
The German Army had numerous units equipped with bicycles.
I dressed it out yesterday.

The M42 Truppenfahrrad was a military bicycle issued to the Wehrmacht during World War II. Special equipment for Wehrmacht use was the steering bar, the saddle, the toolbox and the porter at the back. The headlamp had to work with dynamo and/or battery. On the steering bar were two holders mounted which were holding the half-shelter tent or drivers trench coat or a blanket.

Get to get another antibiotic bag and battery change, Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  Friday is a bigger bag.

[The Trinity Kid]

Greetings all.

Currently hot and muggy, per the usual. Right now it's 95 degrees and equal humidity. Great weather.

In other excitement, some of the officers smuggled some fresh beef in on the last flight and cooked us some burgers. Having some beef that wasn't sacrilegiously boiled and then cooked to extra well done was nice.

2 1/2 hours yesterday, I go in early and I usually get out early and the lady gets to go home maybe closer to time, one doing what should be 2, know an infusion trained nurse wants a job in Lincoln?   She got 3 more patients yesterday and hers can't wait.  Anyway the device wouldn't boot up right after bag and battery change and she tried several times.  Called company Hot line after a 1/2 hour got someone who could help, code 31 can not be fixed by phone, get another serviced pump and program.  Very nice people there at that office, the nurse said if there was trouble call, she'd likely be there till 9.  Quitting time is 5, at least Friday I helped get her out by 5. 

Bet that pays a lot better than some of those BS degrees people get and can't pay off the loan, certainly takes less time and money to learn.
