Well I guess this is as good a place to post a heya if any!
Been off social media and such for a bit, have been working away at the homestead -- finally got the permits for the house, quonset hut is done, chicken coop up and garden drawn out. This has been a much slower process than I thought.
My son joined the Navy and is away at boot camp just north of Chicago.
Been working like crazy, getting some medical articles published and some chapters in some book done.
But for today, I made flat bread pizza, my daughter is coming over, as well as some neighbors in our little townhouse complex and we are going to watch the football game tonight!
Hope everyone has a great night.

Good to hear from you! Once upon a time I was stationed at great lakes naval training command. Aside from the cold wind off lake michigan I have fond memories of the place. Hope your son does well there!
 
Yesterday I went for a walk in the woods with my bow, saw a nice buck chasing a doe but they were at about 90 yards and outside my range. Climbing down in the dark my boot slipped and shaved a spot about 5" long on my shin, it made me curse a bit.. Today it is throbbing and I'm trying to limp it off...

This morning I ran some errands, picked up some more pain reliever as I am low, got a couple of whole chickens on sale and the makings for a couple breakfast casseroles. I'm off today and was planning to go for another walk in the woods, but instead I think I will change the oil in the car, wash both vehicles, and take the wife to look at a new Baby Lock surger. I think that last one will hurt as much as skinning my shin... :)

Epsom salt in tepid water, use a wash cloth and soak it for a good 20 min. You’ll still have a dandy bruise, but it does help soak the soreness out.

do you need to go to the woodshed....lol......growing up they all use to say you better change that attitude or you going to the woodshed for an attitude change...meaning a spanking....lol...my granny used a switch from apple tree on me....lol

Happy birthday, @zannej ! Happy anniversary, @Neb !!

Car maintenance today — new tires finally. I’ve been here five years but don’t drive a ton, so the old California tires wore slowly. New Cross-Climates now, so I’ll be safer driving in the winter.

Didn’t get to the jam yesterday, so that’s a project for today along with yogurt.
 
HI all! Got home Wednesday and did chores until sleep time. Yesterday, went to Walmart, Aldi, etc and did laundry. Came home with 3 fever blisters and a slight cough. I'm guessing the L-lysine kept me from really getting sick! I had a great visit as the great grandkids are older and can communicate better. We ran the whole time I was there with very little sleep. Came home and slept over 10 hours Wednesday night and 9 hours last night!

Already walked this morning and will work at cafe for 3 hours today. Don't have plans for much else.
Happy Belated Birthday @zannej and Happy Anniversary @Neb ! I will try to catch up later.

So glad to be home!!! And I lost 4 pounds on vacation and 1 more since getting home. We ate out every day, but I didn't eat too much apparently! 3.8 pounds from final goal/ 102 pounds down now!

WOW and congratulations!! And glad you are home!
 
Got up, worked out, found out I didn't have go to the spa, celebrated, went and soaked in the hot tub, came back, cleaned up, got dinner started, played on the internet, put some new grips in my Beretta 92 Brigadier Inox, took out the trash and checked on Charlene, turned on the television, and here I sit watching time tick away. I have little plans for this afternoon / evening other than to go shoot my new handgun purchases, hang out with the lady and eat dinner.
 
it was 32f here
