Morning gang. Just getting back from my quarterly haircut. I should probably do it more often, but I just lose track, and spend maybe 5 seconds a day looking in a mirror. I only think of it when JB starts following me around with scissors.
My daughter is having brain surgery next Tuesday. She has a non-cancerous growth taken out when she was 18, and it's grown back. It's about the size of a grape. I've taken her to several appointments, scans, etc over the last couple of weeks. They don't seem overly worried, but I sure am. Swing some chickens for her.
QOTD: I'm very interested in astronomy. I wish I was better at identifying objects.
Here's a photo of me, my brother, and my daughter in Florida last weekend.
6'3" tall, male.

When I lived out of town, I was always outside at night looking at the sky. We even had a telescope for years. The area where I live has the most cloud cover in the United States. During World War Two they had a military facility where they produced ammunition and bombs. The area was picked for its cloud cover.
Now I live in town and there is too much light to see anything like the northern lights or an eclipse at night. Last year people a few miles outside of town saw incredible views of the Northern Lights.

Good morning, everybody!
It's pretty chilly here in Arizona, I've been wearing a light coat whenever I go out to do anything. We are still hoping that it warms up enough so that we can get in the hot tub at least.
Yesterday it took over 1 1/2 hours to get through the rental car lines, so I didn't manage to get any work done . Today I am going to have to have to spend a pretty good amount of time working. But, we have a dinner for Marilyn's team tonight.
I'm also going to try and do Open Workout 25.3 while I'm here. Hopefully I can schedule that for tomorrow. If not, I can do it Monday.
QOTD: I watched the eclipse last year and I have tried, unsuccessfully, to see the Northern Lights periodically. I think there is too much light in our neighborhood.
I had a yogurt parfait for breakfast, not sure about the rest of the day.
Have a great day, all!

Yay for a pedicure! I know what you mean, I have to keep mine short too. Enjoy the event/fundraiser.

Good Morning on this Fri-yay! I hope the rest of your audit goes well. I am not sure yet what my weekend looks like. I may have to work a few hours to feel more prepared for next week but that is only if I get some reports I need from other departments. John will be working off/on anyways (membership drive) so it'll be a low key weekend. Emily has been experimenting more with her sourdough and it's so fun to see her creations (pizza and cinnamon swirl most recently).
QOTD: I'm usually not up late enough but if I am and if something cool is happening I'll try and take a look.

Good morning, Jennifer and Menuer's
I ended up getting a pedicure at lunch yesterday. The lady who has done my pedicure for the last at least 15 years went to Vietnam to see her family and she was off for 2 months. Being it was the winter it didn't matter so I saved a few bucks. I called yesterday and I was shocked when she could fit me in. This is all good news because if I would have tried to run without a pedicure, I would have had some serious runner's toe. Tomorrow is the cycle fund raiser, after that I have mom duty. She really needs a haircut this week, so I'll get that done and I believe Ron needs his hair cut also. I bought a head of cabbage, so I plan on making Huluski. I will take out a few servings for myself before I add the noodles for everyone else.
QOTD: I slept right through it last night and I guess it was beautiful and clear here in Pittsburgh. I like to look at the sky but not to the point that I actually know what I am looking at. I can pick out the big dipper but that's about it.
Accountability: 2 club crackers w/peanut butter and butter.
TSS: 7 years 3-months 3-days 166.4 Lowest (129.4)
B: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer
MS: Premier Protein Cafe Latte and berries
CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer
L: eggwich
D: boneless pork ribs and beats
Exercise: dog walking
Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.
Have a great weekend my friends.
Brightest blessings

Good mornin y'all.
we're likely to stay home all day. We're having gusts of wind upwards of 70mph right now. Sucks...big time suck, I hate the wind and I live in the wrong place for that!
i might do some cleaning and get some phone calls done. I can't take an antacid and my GERD is flaming up this morning. So gross.
QOTD: I love sky watching, whether it be clouds or stellar. I also missed most of the clips due to haze and spotty clouds.
B: eggs
L: probably chicken or soup
D: ???
happy Pi day!
Morning Gang sorry I'm a little late a bit busy this morning at work. We made it through another week. So far the outage itself is still going well, but we have had a couple of employee issues. We will see how HR handles them.
I can't wait to get outside this weekend and do some yard work. I did do half of a list yesterday of what I want to get done this year. Other than that not much planned for the weekend.
QOTD: Does anyone here like to star gaze or watch eclipses? I love looking at the sky at night especially during the Summer. I swear the stars are so much brighter in the Summer than in the Winter. Unfortunately, I missed the Lunar Eclipse last night due to the overcast skies.
B: coffee and 2 hard boiled eggs
L: Jersey Mike's tuna sub
D: Fish and chips from Henry's Diner they have Lent specials
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a great day and weekend everyone!!!

I really enjoyed that story about Willie the Wimp. You find the most interesting things to post about.
