I would not last long because too old and weak to fight and I would not believe that it was real. So would probably be their first victim. But barring those types of events, I have a good chance to live a long life. Many in my family have reached late 90's and some lived into their 100's.
I have one aunt and one uncle still living. They are both healthy and sharp as a tack, but both have problems with their legs and are in wheelchairs. They are both widowed and have always been close. Now they live in the same Jewish longterm care center in New Jersey. Aunt Nora turned 92 this week. Uncle Mike is 96.

Good morning, everybody!
Woo Hoo is right! So happy it's Friday. I stayed up too late watching March Madness and missed swimming this morning. I've only had 2 voluntary absences since I started going in October, but I needed the sleep this morning. Good game, though.
Today, I'm in the office, CrossFit this evening and more March Madness. We leave for Florida on Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon is the walkthrough, we are going to dinner with the realtor on Sunday evening and we are closing on Monday morning.
I will bring my fishing rod on the trip and need to run a few miles when I'm down there. Marilyn said that her parents are excited to see us, so we will spend some time with them as well.
March 31 is the midpoint of our fiscal year, so I will officially be 18 months from retirement as of Monday. But it's certainly possible that a year's earlier date will be offered in the next couple of months. I guess we'll see.
QOTD: With a decent fitness level, but no supplies, I would be somewhere in the middle. Unless I could join some sort of paramilitary zombie fighting organization.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: steak
Dinner: tacos
Have a great day, and a great weekend, everyone!

Good Morning Gang. It's Friday woo hoo. I got the last three roosters sold last night now to clean out the box trailer and get it ready to move the goats into for the Spring/Summer. We go early tomorrow morning to get a couple of outside rabbit cages and weather permitting I might try and get some more outside stuff done.
There was a very bad accident a few miles down the road from my house yesterday morning that took the power out until 6pm last night. I had seen it on WINY Radio's FB while at work and at first I thought it was Irvin's truck as it looked almost identical to it and I couldn't get a hold of him. But he finally called me and was just outside doing stuff with the bobcat. He never heard the fire trucks or anything. The driver of the truck had to be Life Starred to Umass in Worcester. By the looks of it they never even hit the brakes to slow down.

Revision from Lap Band to Bypass on 2/4/2015 by Dr. Pohl
I had Gastric Bypass surgery on April 21, 2021. My beginning weight was 276 lbs. My lowest weight was 176 lbs. I never got any smaller. My goal weight was 150. I never made it to that. In April 2022, I lost my job and got very depressed. I have now gained weight. My current weight is 205 lbs and I want to lose at least 25 lbs so bad. But I dont know how to get the scales to move. HELP!! Do you all have any advice?? TY
My cats always hide when they see the carrier. I have been on the phone with the vet's office while crawling under the bed to try to catch the cat and get it in the carrier. Good luck with your trip today.

QOTD- Baking bread.
I got one job done yesterday and I have to get another one out today. Then the big one is due Friday. I hate feeling pressured to get them done. But that is what happens now. Production, production production.
I take my kitties in for their shots today. Wish me luck, I brought out the carriers yesterday and one of them actually crawled in. So I'm hoping it won't be much or a struggle.
Nothing exciting going on here.
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning, everyone!
Long day yesterday - woke up at 5:00 AM for swimming and didn't get home from the concert until about 1:00 AM. I'm in the office today, so just trying to power through. Tonight will just be sweatpants on the couch watching March Madness.
Milwaukee is about 100 miles from Chicago, but it's all highway, so only about a 1 3/4 hour drive. The FiServ Forum was a good location, smaller than the Chicago venues. Unfortunately, we did not get to go to Maders, because of the crowds. We went to a forgettable bar for a burger. They did have a Claw Machine that had White Claws as the prize. I sent a picture to Chrissy, but I've never actually had a Seltzer, seems to bubbly.
The two ladies next to us had at least a dozen shots of Whistle Pig - I would not have been able to walk after that.
Concert was great. Ann broke her arm, so sang sitting down but still had great range. And 70-something lady, or not, Nancy whales that Telecaster. Dreamboat Annie, Little Queen, Magic Man, Crazy On You, Barracuda - you guys know them all. Plus covers of David Bowie's Let's Dance and Led Zeppelin's The Ocean and Going to California.
Cheap Trick sounded much better in the smaller arena than in the Rogers Center last year. When we go to Rod Stewart this July, they are also opening.
QOTD: Christmas Tree.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: catered
Dinner: Marilyn said she would get me a pretzel and cheese sauce since we didn't get one last night.
Have a great day, all!
