QOTD- The Goonies was filmed in Astoria, as was Kindergarten Cop, Grimm was filmed all over the metro area, as was Leverage those are the only ones I can currently think of. I just re-watched Grimm and it was such a treat to see Portland on film. Unfortunately some of the businesses don't exist any more, but it is still fun.
Still trying to get all my accesses for work, so far there is at least one that I need that I can't get into.
I found out from PT that I need to lower my desk. It shouldn't be too bad, it's IKEA with legs that raise and lower but it won't be very easy. But if it keeps my arm from aching it will be worth it.
I didn't get many hours the last 2 weeks but I should have some.
Cloudy and overcast with a high of 72, and low of 53 so not bad weather.
Have a great day everyone!

Good Morning! It is FRI-YAY indeed and I am going to try and take 1/2 the day off so it should be a fast one. I hope you enjoy your vacation to the fullest.
QOTD: The Great Outdoors was filmed at Bass Lake which is about an hour away and where we camped at all the time when I was growing up.
I am having my usual breakfast but the rest of the day is up in the air since I don't know if I'll be still in the office. Exercise done and water and vits on track.
I hope each of you have a nice weekend.

I just looked up Silent Hill. It's based on Centralia Pennsylvania, but actually filmed in Toronto.

Good morning, everyone!
I didn't get to post yesterday because I had a dentist appointment in the morning and then had to scurry to CrossFit and then into the office.
But I made it to Friday and my vacation the next two weeks. Unfortunately, I may start my vacation by working on Sunday before we head to the airport. No problem though.
The last time that I was out of the country, I was able to post on OH, but the few times before that I wasn't. So, I'm not sure if I will be able to post for the next few days. If I can't, I wish everyone a great holiday and summer! I am sure that I will be reading even if not posting.
QOTD: I don't know of any movies, but Stella and Severide's honeymoon cabin from Chicago Fire was filmed right down the street. I posted a picture for Mike Duffman because he and his wife watch.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: chicken sandwich
Dinner: TBD
Have a great day, all!

Good Morning Jennifer and Menuers,
Well, I made it. It was a nice quit week I wish they were all like this. My boss is back from vacation on Monday, and my anxiety is already revving up. I have a feeling the dreaded meeting is coming soon. I am just going to lay low and see how long it takes for him to catch up to me. Weekend looks kinda of normal. Gym both days and Mom duty. Weather has been either very hot or very rainy. If it is raining, I will do some more doors and windows and start baking cookies and freezing them for our trip. If it is hot and sunny I will use the pool.
QOTD: Tons of movies are filmed in Pittsburgh. The one that was actually filmed in my town was Silence of the Lambs. The catacombs were in a building that is about a mile from my home. When my dad was growing up that building was call Morganza and it was a detention center for boys. I guess if you were really bad you got locked in those chambers. It fully functioned from that land. They had farms that had animals and gardens the kids would maintain. Some would sneak out and my dad and brothers would trade cigarettes for fresh hams and food that they would steal. We were always threated as children if we were bad, we would go to Morganza. Eventually it closed and became a State-run Psychiatric center. And of course that is closed now as well.

Good morning everyone!
we got a lot of rain last night! I mean well over 2 inches. There was some flooding around town including down the street from us. Supposed to get more rain today. I might form gills. Ala waterworld. Ha!
My appointment went ok yesterday. Their scale is way off and showed a full 10 pounds heavier than my scale showed. A brief moment of panic. He upped the mounjaro to 10. Took me off of the long acting insulin! My A1c of 5.9 is really helping. My last PT is today. I am hurting so so very much. I can't put it into words. I hope today is a light pt day. My mom wants to go to tthe thrift store and we need to run to the grocery store. So, long day. I need to wash clothes too.
QOTD: parts of an Indian jones movie was filmed near here. Lots of scenes in Yellowstone and one of the the prequels was close to here and here. Palo Duro canyon is a popular spot.
We had Thai and it made me sick today. Too many veggies and it was rather salty. I tried some pad Thai. 3 fork fulls made me throw up a wee bit. So rice and rice noodles are a huge no still.
B: egg sandwich with cauliflower bread. Coffee
L: I am thinking something light...maybe a chicken burger patty with a keto bagel thin.
D: total unknown. Depends on what we find at the grocery store.
this could not be any more true about my wee brain.
an old sunset pic!
Happy Friday Gang!!! What a nice comfortable morning it is. I have a list of yard work I want to get done today and hopefully swing by my SIL's to drop off some chicks I hatched for her and get some cages. Other than that nothing much for day one of vacation.
QOTD: Has a movie ever been filmed in your town? I just found out that the new M. Night Shyalaman movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal is being filmed in RI and in the small town I grew up in Chepachet which is less than 10 minutes from where I live now. They are filming in the Old Stagecoach Tavern now called Tavern on the Main. It is known to be haunted. So cool.
B: coffee and glass of homemade beet juice
L: Salad with chicken salad
D: grilled cod and summer squash
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a great Friday and weekend everyone!!!
