Good luck Steve w Collin's new job! ooops Oh no fever and chills?? Gosh not good. Like the PBN kit result. Gives one ideas. thx for the good thoughts for today's eye bx procedure. Hope I can get a couple of words in edgewise beforehand. cheers

Aw Lee the puppies are just soooooooooooo cute!!! Sending lots of Ts and Ps to Connie and Steve. Can't imagine all you are going through. As Dave says violent storms and flash flooding albeit usually short lived can ravage the Desert around Vegas. We went thru the area maybe 45 min to an hour after a violent storm and…

Chilly here too down to 34deg with probably a little faint frost on rooftops and wetland trails so I skipped going on them first thing this a.m. Gosh Mike house is nice until that portion of the cliff chunks off. Who knows when? In the short term?? or 500 years from now. Gosh your brothers Ortho guy sounds a lot like the…

Sorry about your arthritis flare-up Steve. Good luck with sorting it all out. I too have found that Docs and other health care personnel bend over backwards to not give you their opinionated advice on what to do. Can't even really get a "second opinion" anymore from most. "The doctor wants Connie to see the specialist, but…

Hope Connie has ok diagnosis and some relief from symptoms etc. Glad Joanne is feeling a bit better Sam. Sorry about your DMIL. Have fun at the church bazaar Dave with all your turnings. "For every Season Turn Turn Turn" can't get that out of my head now. Hopefully no real bad showers in Vegas for you. AW Lee puppies are…

WOW! 70degrees. that's just a memory for me. Surprisingly hit 62 deg yesterday though. Good luck with the CT scan w contrast for Connie. Wow Dave still has fighter pilot vision in both eyes. I had 20/15 or better in both eyes for many decades and fairly recently did 20/15 in Rt eye although now it's more like 20/20 which I…

Gosh Bill hope things get better and soon!!! Good luck w your glaucoma check Dave. Glad the ablation seems good right now. wow Steve I have seen the northern lights in Oregon and Washington and also Alaska but not the best ever displays. Cheers

Yes my heart goes out to all the Veterans today. Chin up my friends!! Glad the ablation seems to have worked for your dear son-in-law Mike. Good luck with the Holiday Bazaar Dave. Your work is masterful! Yea w some of my injuries they had me in a walker for about two seconds or using walking poles. I actually do like…

Hope Lee's house deal holds up. My DDIL had buyer folks back out 2 days from closing which was a huge problem as all her elderly parents things were packed up in a van etc and now they couldn't afford to move into there new place themselves. Eventually it got sorted out but cost big bucks they didn't really have. Yeah the…

Ohmy you guys are the best.

So glad Mike that your piano teacher is still sharp mentally and praying for some more PT to help him out.Beautiful pict Mike even if it means more work for you paddling adventure. Sorry you aren't feeling better Steve but glad most of your blood tests are good. Hard being a caregiver. I am not great at that myself. Like…

Steve good luck with Connie's cardiopulmonary effusion. Lots of prayers headed her way with all the tests and more. Good luck w your glaucoma Doc Dave. My old glaucoma (not in years) Doc has up and left to work in Vancouver WA across the border. My old external eye cancer and disease Doc left to go work for Kaiser so we…

Hope Sam's new hearing aids work better. Chilly but no rain until tonight. A couple of drops of mist maybe first thing. Sorry Heather isn't feeling so great and hoping she perks up. I got word today (getting ready to ride my bike) as I was leaving the house that my eye Docs want to do another scrape of my cornea to test…

I too pray that Joanne is turning the corner. A long haul indeed. Glad ya had a great day tide pooling and more Bill. The last part of my ride this a.m. was dry and the first part just a drizzle so not too bad. DW is off to see the computer pros as her laptop keys don't work unless she does a certain outside button…

Well my big B-day party last night was fun. We had 11 people total and had our own small room at a local dining place. We actually celebrated a bunch of B-days of folks there. I likely had too much red wine but meted it out over the evening so wasn't typsy and not driving anyway. No freezes or frosts here yet. Congrats…

Yea I think I gave up running younger than you Steve with some sort of small achilles tear. Ahhh "burgers on the grill" "burgers on the grill" sounds like a pop song . Yea we didn't try to pass out candy in our aging neighborhood and saw ONE possibly TWO trick-treaters out there in the rain. MY DD had fun as some of her…

Awe Dave man after my own heart. Our weather should be lousy too with some rain likely at least for the later trick-or-treaters. We really don't have a neighborhood of young kids near where we live and don't plan on candy for some drive-by kids from other neighborhoods or the possible one grand kid that might show up…

Oh Mike I luv me some of the Rails to Trails bike routes! Oh Steve prayers indeed for Connie. Always hard to know about lab results. I always read mine ahead of Dr comments but usually can figure them out. I too am surprised the hospital Tech talked about a deeper exam whatever that may be. I agree with Dave that often it…

Thanks for the kind words. I am glad the monsoon like rains have abated for a bit. I am thinking of mowing today too as my stitches were removed and wrist looks great now. As an aside Roy Chapman Andrews who is thought to be the "real life model for Indiana Jones" was definitely a promoter with a large ego for the Museum…

So sorry about the skin blisters and more from Joanne's radiation. My DD had that too. Oh and Mike glad the wedding went well and you got caught up.

Our amazing museum participates in so many things and outreach from the "MUSEUMS FOR ALL" outreach program, working hand in hand with the La Brea Tar Pits, helping the people of Mongolia and Madagascar to develop there own museum programs and so much more. Our director did his PhD work in Madagascar and our Associate…

Yea I can't even imagine the East Coasters and Toronto staying up til something like 3 a.m. to watch the 18 inning game. I kinda got hooked and watched it. An amazing TEAM effort all around by both teams. I wasn't born in New York so became a dodger follower even before they moved west. I also very much support the…

Oh I was gone early this afternoon to have my 16 stitches removed

Rain? Rain? Rain? It rained over TWO INCHES while I was in So Cal over the weekend. 75 deg most days and skies clear as a bell. Briefly hit 82 deg one day but was still nice in the shade of the Botanical gardens we visited. In the 70s when we left for Portland OR. Pilot said it was 48deg and raining when we started our…

Wow sorry I missed yesterday and will be out of touch for a few days in Claremont CA. Quite the hike Mike!! Purgatory chasm??? Hmm sounds like the precipice of the underworld. And Dave had a great one this week too! Wow Dave a fever with Rita. Hang in there. Bill had a nice day out too. Oh Sam quite the ordeal with Joanne.…

I have been able to do a pinch of short biking at times. I am being uber careful. Went to have the stitches looked at by a P.A. yesterday and she thought they were ok. It's just such a big strip and has some serous leakage etc that I am following. Will take time and I do have a low platelet count from my lymphoma too. So…

Gosh sorry about your dog trials gone wrong Lee. Salads and Salmon sound great. I keep my salad simple and don't overdress it. At restaurants I order dressing on the side for sure when possible, Yeah it was the flip of a coin that got me with the Brooklyn Dodgers in the Dodgers vs Yankees 1955 world series. I am not…

Yup I loved the Mariners victory, and as an old LA Dodger fan I was agog by Ohtani's performance . Who strikes out 10 batters and hits not one but THREE HOME RUNS including a lead off home run in the first AND hit one out of the stadium (only second payer in Dodger history to hit a home run out of the ballpark. Greatest…

Wow was expecting better of the Mariners at home, but I suppose Toronto was expecting more at their place too. Good luck Dave w DGD and XC meet. Definitely warmer last night here close to 52deg for a low instead of 36deg. Glad ya got to see the covered bridge Bill. We love biking thru those when we find them. Did a beyond…

Busy yesterday w lots of errands. 36 deg again today for a chilly start. Yesterday was first day off bike this year. I have about 16 stitches in a diagonal from inside my right wrist to about half way across the back side of my lower arm. Didn't think it would be that big,but the path report is NEGATIVE for margins so no…
