Good morning all! Been watch 9-11 memorials this morning. Seems like a 100 years since my last check-in. Heading out soon for Jean to give blood. Rather than write it all out some recent events include: NYS Fair concert, Grandkids return to school, eating healthy and diet in-check and last night open-air band music /…

Patsy -- oh yes I definitely recall... thanks for my first music of the day! Al green-How Can You Mend A Broken Heart https://youtu.be/UgAFcvIw8J4

Good morning all – This will be brief, as I haven’t been to gym yet. It’s a cold 54 degrees at 6am and we’ll likely be in the low 60’s most of the day. Not looking great for Sunday’s concert by comparison with the next week forecast. Fingers crossed! Well – another lesson in how communications can get mixed up. The 63 yr…

Yesterday was a great day and many tasks completed. Jean was at the NYS Fair all day with niece etc. (small 40k crowd again) and had a wonderful time. We flew out the door when she got home and headed to park concert. Lots of room and “many” more people than shown in photo. We are tracking weather for Sunday – Our fav live…

OK – one last thing – here is a post by Shana Chappell, mother of Marine Kareem Nikoui who was killed in Kabul… Other Gold Star parents have made similar observations – you won’t get this in CNN, MSNBC etc as they try to “move-on.” These parents aren't going to let this go... Again – have a great day and stay healthy. Bob

Mornin Mornin – It’s a great day today with sunshine and temps expected to hit 77 – nice. Beautiful sunrise this morning. We have been taking our usual rides/walks. We even took in a great-nephews Kool-aide stand LOL. The son of one of Jean’s life-long friends is the drummer for Staind (on reunion tour) and they cancelled…

HAPPY SATURDAY ALL ! Been taking advantage of every hot/humid day. The NYS Fair so = lowest attendance in 40 years. Social distancing was 10 times easier than grocery shopping. Fun but felt bad for vendors. Jean took in REO Speedwagon concert at night the day we went. And a 2nd day w/ 2 friends. We will go again for The…

Happy Monday Sneakers… Life is still running at full-speed, but no complaints. I went 5 days without even checking email. Hope everyone has been well. This update, might be all over the map… had a wonderful evening of board games, treats etc. with daughter and kids last week – re-connecting after their trip to Outer Banks.…

Happy Sunday all Sneakers – It was 56 degrees at 5am…and only going to 90 degrees after several days of 90. Should be gorgeous! No ran and all sun. For that reason, I am going to concentrate on the “good things” today and block out all the negative / sad things going on in the world right now. Gym opens soon. All is well…

As Cab Calloway would say: Hidee-hidee-hidee-hi Hodee-hodee-hodee-ho HOPE EVERONE IS WELL… It’s been a whirlwind of activities the last 2 weeks. I actually have only checked my email twice in the last week. Various appointments, helping out a few relatives/friends and then the usual outdoor concerts, gym etc … For the next…

Happy Wednesday – time flies… weather has been nice (80’s sunny w/ just enough rain). Kids are back from Yogi Camp Ground and had a great time. Sunday was a birthday party that was great for 12 yr old great nephew. Barely remember Monday and yesterday was at the dentist (replace old filling) and cookout in the…

Good morning all – Think I hit a brick wall… haven’t been to gym yet as didn’t open til 7am and was off getting car washed and then it was breakfast and relaxing time on deck with the sun. Not sure if I will make it later as they close at 7pm vs 10pm during week. Have lunch at sisters today celebrating great-nephew’s…

Happy Saturday Sneakers – nope – I’m not dead. LOL Thought I should just do a quick check-in and will be back later this weekend to see what everyone has been up to. It has been a whirlwind of a week – going 24/7. We celebrated Jean’s b’day with the grandkids, Melanie sleep over accounted for 2 full days of fun. Melanie…

TGIF – to all Sneakers…. Great day yesterday celebrating Jean’s birthday. We took a long walk by the Seneca River and had a wonderful lunch at a restaurant afterwards. I bought Jean the “hedge trimmer” she asked for… crazy lady…but also gave her a gift card to “Anthropologie” that just opened at DestinyUSA. I know she…

Happy Hump Day all ! Going to be a humid day today with a mix of cloudy, t-storms, sunny and clear with a high about 82 --- I think the weather person covered all bases. LOL Awoke before 5am, but still need to leave for the gym first. Should be easy now that coffee has been injected into my blood stream. Jackie – Of course…

And a Happy Tuesday morning to all… hope everyone had a great weekend. Sunday was great with family dinner at my sister’s and we made a short “welcome home” video for a relative in the Navy who had been at sea since January. I think the best quote of the day came from my great great nephew (age 6)…super smart and a huge…

HELLO SNEAKERS!!!! It was a very busy Independence Day “Week” – Seemed like every day started at 5am and didn’t end until evening. Cookouts, doctor appointments, visits, grandkids, shopping for birthdays / anniversaries… just finished grilling lunch/dinner (chicken burger, Hoffman frank etc.) and now catching our breath.…

Hope everyone survived the 4th! Our power is back on and it has been one “adventure” after another. The rain was held in abeyance yesterday and temps were awesome at around 80. There was swimming, eating, water balloon toss etc. All the kids had a blast – as did the adults. (pic) Today will be VERY hot and humid in the…

A quick Good Morning check-in…. Power went out yesterday and not restored until around 1:30am this morning. As it turned out at least 1 problem was the National Grid box was on our property – so at 1am we listened as the power saw cut down our bush that aesthetically adorned the front of the box for 14 years. Oh well…. We…

Happy Wednesday! It was 74 degrees at 5am…coffee consumed and gym completed. Jean has been doing various household tasks and getting ready to meet her aunt (a beautiful woman who turns 88 in Oct) and 3 of her cousins. Here is a pic of Jean with her aunt circa 2019 and riding a 4-wheeler at age 85) LOL. Sandy - -That clip…

Happy Tuesday to all! Back from gym and heading out to complete some errands in 1-2 hrs (after clean-up). As for weather – a feel- like temp of almost 80 degrees at 5am and going to feel like almost 100 degrees this afternoon with a 76 degree feel-like low tonight. Jackie – Bleary eyed after hours of torrential rain etc.…

Happy Monday to everyone… a quick check-in Overall a very nice weekend that flew by. It’s over 80 at 5:45am and looks like a day of sun/clouds w/ a thunderstorm in spots; hot and humid… Jean Bills and I have watched BOSCH since 2014…the “Final” season was released Friday and of course we blitzed it! Some great acting by…

Good Morning everyone… hope you have an awesome weekend and wonderful Saturday. It’s almost 6am and 73 degrees. Should be a T-storm this morning and only going to 88 degrees. Tomorrow should be great at 95 degrees! Gym opens at 7am – but might start BOSCH – The Final Season; Episodes were released on Amazon Prime yesterday…

Ps -- The pic of Jean in front of the Body Piercing store was a joke... she had no idea... I simply asked her to pose in the doorway as we passed by... LOL

Mornin’ Mornin’ Well yesterday can be summed up in two photos LOL. Today – I have some errands to run. This morning Jean will be taking her friend to the hairdresser to get her wigs done etc. and this afternoon she has annual doctors visit. She hopes they won’t do the cognitive testing like last year. She did great drawing…

Happy Thursday Morning Sneakers! Today should be even more beautiful with lots of sun and 83 degrees as a high. Yesterday was awesome. Jean loves working in the yard and I had no idea she’d be out early in the morning cutting tree branches etc. until she called my cell while I was at gym asking me to p/u lawn bags. Besides…

GOOD AFTERNOON SNEAKERS! Yesterday’s humid 90’s was today’s chilly 50’s morning. Blink was a surprise… employees are mask free and all treadmills re-opened (had been every other one). Heck – the NYS Fair is going to be no limit and they have some big event planned for the 4th of July. Also heard a rumor Elton might be…

Happy 1st Day of Summer! It’s hot and humid this morning. Rained hard for a bit and now the sun is back. Low 90’s today and a high in 60’s tomorrow. Fathers Day was great… my daughter and her family came over with food treats, presents (Garth Brooks album, gift cards, board game and “grandpa artwork” by 6 yr old Brooke).…

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday / Father’s Day. I am expecting company soon, but want to share this link of SUNDAY MORNING FUTURES WITH MARIA BARTIROMO 6/20/21 - FULL UNEDITED SHOW - JUNE 20, 2021 YouTube has taken down several uploads by people… the first 15 min or so has some important COVID info that many might…
