      So maybe our friend from Toronto, is a bit old school.
      Well I didn't know that. A very MERRY Christmas to all.

        That's really funny! I just realized I wrote "Merry Christ" instead of "Merry Christmas" (what a maroon!) I spent 3 months in England, the Sun came out only two days that whole time. It got so humid, so fast, I asked it to go away. On the other hand, you could get "Shandy's" from what looked like Coca-Cola machines. I had no idea they were half beer. All the kids drank them, they never drank Soda.

          Great thinking! I had overlooked the possibility of a mind-field. Perhaps they are designating a portion of that tract to be an emergency landing space for Santa's sleigh?


          Peace on Earth. Good will toward all.

                      Merry Christmas GSR!

                      Christmas, for us, took a few unexpected turns this year. In short, plumbing disaster, travel plans ruined, and covid, but hey, it's almost 2023. Here's to the new year!

                      On Friday evening, we had some drain lines clog and even after our prompt cleanup effort, will be looking at some new flooring in 2023.

                      Saturday night, after talking with my son in Atlanta, who was super excited to fly home for Christmas, we learned that his flight was among the many that were cancelled. He was able to reschedule and should fly in tomorrow night, Lord willing.

                      After work on Friday, I was a bit more run down than usual. Saturday felt like a bad cold coming on, and Sunday I tested positive for covid. Monday went to urgent care and got on Paxlovid. It has already started to help me feel better. Hoping to keep this crud away from my wife, who's still testing negative.


                      Well, I haven't had time lately to post anything other than a pic here or there so, I figured I'd make up for that. (Then realized it was way too much and shortened it a bit )
