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…
-
40s here no frost like Dave. Yup Mariners are amazing. Seahawks did well too! Sorry about losing your Dogwood Lee. Venison sounds great!! Spent hours at the eye Doc who was consulting with another specialist. They both think I should have another small biopsy at the edge of the cornea where it meets the sclera (white part)…
-
Yup not happy about the Oregon Ducks football game. Indiana is good for sure. Seahawks won so that's good and how 'bout them Mariners. Watched the last 5 innings of the 15 inning marathon and saw the post game after their first win over Toronto. Held The Blue Jays to just one run. My heart is always out to Steve and…
-
Yeah often happens when you plant yourself on a fall. Good luck w ENT but like you I don't expect they'll do anything. dave is right about the use of box fans to trap particles w a taped hi MERV filter on them. Glad to hear Charlotte passed her first Dr visit after being home. Hope things get better for you Bill and soon!~
-
So glad Charlotte came home and Joanne is making good progress. Prayers for Steve's DBIL. Good luck with your wrist and shoulder Dave. Sounds like a so-called FOSH injury (Fall on Out Stretched Hand) Yeah they haven't done much with my broken noses over the years. One time they scrubbed it with a coarse salt (sorta like…
-
yeah do be careful Steve as Dave says. So sorry about his trip/fall and a broken nose in the ER. Hope Dave's wrist and shoulder are ok. Wow indeed Bill! I saw that Florence shot up to about 80-81deg yesterday. Hotter than us in Portland. The Seahawk game Sunday was exciting albeit not the outcome Dave and I wanted. Get…
-
Brrrrr. Dave down to 38deg . We hit about 46deg here with the chill. Will be in the 70s later. so sorry to hear about Connie's youngest brother. It is always something. Ts and Ps coming their way. Glad to hear Charlotte is improving every day. Get better all!!
-
Sounds like a great outdoor adventure Mike! Glad to hear Charlotte is a real fighter and will be home soon!!! slept in this a.m. so will do wetland trails biking later. We made packages of a meal for "Rise Against Hunger" yesterday. Four of us at each station putting in dried veggies nutritional supplements, Rice and I…
-
Well turned on the heat for a bit this a.m. It was either that or finding myself out in the cold in the "dog house". haha. 90degrees?? in my dreams. Our showers seem to be pretty much over for awhile. 4 days w a bit of measurable showers but really not much more than a trace yesterday. Sending best Ts and Ps for Sam,…
-
Dave: No furnace on here just yet but close to turning it on yesterday morning. Just bundling up. We do need the rain. Hoping I don't need to turn on the heat for another few days as it is suppose to warm up again over the weekend into next week. We'll see. Nice that your DGD lowered her time by a couple of minutes. 6th…
-
Turned cold-ish and rainy for now 58deg at the moment and not more than lo 60 for hi. We have accumulated 0.6 inches so far since Monday and more today tomorrow etc until Sat I think. It is welcome and I rode early today between showers. Glad to hear that Charlotte has entered a step down unit. Now that's a step forward…
-
Yes still holding Charlotte in my virtual arms and prayers that she continues to grow and gets her temp stable. Keeping Joanne, Sam and DMIL in my good Ts and Ps too. Good luck with the drizzly drive. Had 1/4" of nice rain showers yesterday and more later today. Cheers and get better all!
-
Have fun up north Mike. Catch-up when ya get back. Good luck w Connie and her . Yup light rain started 10 minutes into my morning wetland trail bike ride today. Should be damp next four or five days. Yup Duck football game was amazing in a hostile environment. the impressive QB now leads the Heisman betting odds but it is…
-
Oh my Oh my Bill THE best game ever!!! Certainly as ggood as it gets. I know the Penn State Fans are disappointed. Both my DD who graduated from Univ of Oregon and I just about had a few heart attacks along the way. I gotta hand it to the coach that he totally prepared the team to stay focused and deal with the 112,000…
-
Glad your shoulder is getting better Steve. sorry indeed about Dave and Bill being sickies. sending good thoughts to Charlotte to improve daily and go home soon. Should be somewhat warm today maybe 80deg in PDX then dropping into the 60s and more showery next week. We do need the rain. I mowed my lawn . I also mowed my…
-
Oh my goodness Mike a lot of stuff to do with the CPAP and camping. I can't even imagine let alone considering backpacking adventures or whatever. Gosh all you coughing sickies get better!!!! Hoping for much improvement and more energy for all of you!!. Prayers for Charlotte and glad she is gaining weight albeit a pinch at…
-
Gaba Gaba Gaba Doo! Well this scooby doo never got relief from Gabapentin which I tried a couple of times so I don't use it. whatever works just do it!! I know that some of the combination drugs at the local dispensary would work miracles for me should I need them. I ate 1/2 of a cookie one time that was made with some…

UH Eugene is expected to get to 88degrees as well as about the same for me near Beaverton OR. Warm for sure. I hear ya Sam about the salt in food whilst eating out. Sorry about the hearing aids. Glad you got DMIL moved. Hoping for the best. Cheers
