good morning all. Big front moving East dumping rain, will hit here later, unfortunately I'm driving in it today, headed two hours West
to Raleigh to State Fair grounds where annual rv show is. I have my floor map all marked up as to where I need to go, with my sore foot, trying
to keep amount of walking today to a minimum. Hard to do in a giant toy store...
Will get there when it opens on first day, trying to beat weekend crowds.

In the three years I sold yachts for Merritt Yacht Brokers in Ft Lauderdale, we had to work four boat shows a year. Stuart, Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale and Miami.
So I can really feel for the folks manning these rv's at the show, trying to keep kids from pulling off knobs, taking any souvenir home they can. And answering
inane questions from folks who couldn't possibly afford your product. They are very long days, at least in an rv you have some place to sit down.
My favorite was sitting in a $6000 Pompanette fighting chair on the back of a 61 foot sports fisherman. Thankfully that boat had a big retractable shade that went over the whole cockpit of the boat. I wasn't there long, just helping out another broker who actually knew something about deep sea fishing.
I get instantly sick and avoid rocking around at all cost. Keep me moving with my hands on the wheel and I have never gotten sick once.

And yes RNG, I have done a number of different things. It's made life fun. I have taken risks I could never have if I had kids.

Hope all in need of healing today get a full dose.

My Aunt's memorial service was really nice. Sang some old hymns. My uncle is sad, but he held up well. When my aunt told everyone that "I know where I'm going and I'm ready to go." It really put us all at ease. I hope I can do the same thing when it's my time.

Thanks for the thoughts team.

Farmer, prayers for your family. Hope your son gets better soon. You sure are working hard on that clearing. I often think about how hard it was to clear land, generations ago, doing it with an axe by hand.

Wifey just brought me coffee. Yummy, it is a flavored coffee done by our large grocery chain HEB. They call it the "Houston Blend". It has some pecan praline and coconut flavors. Decaf for me of course. We hope to go spend time together today all by ourselves. Maybe go kayaking.

Drew, I hear just driving on the freeways on the east coast, is considered a big risk.

Getting kids ready for school. The usual morning "production" show.

I chuckled Wng, about BEFCON. BEF, I hope your ready. I know it's going to be tough. Prayers for you and your family.

Prayers for Randy and Ellen. And for Ron and Betty.

Who out there close by can create a diversion for BEFCON? I'm sure we could quickly get some clever ideas for a diversion....Bunch of guys driving their tractors through downtown???

Drinking first cup of coffee. 52° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 74° with partly cloudy skies. Got my projects completed yesterday. Today is the last of my final trip and resting place arrangements. Been tough. Doing mine at the same time. That way kids will not have to go though the same. Need some seat time. May put chipper on tractor.

Buckeye, sure hope that paper work is done properly and in a timely fashion. Looks like TBN can be relied on to do a final rescue if needed. Prayers sent.

Randy, hope your recovery is going good. Prayers.

Drew, good luck with RV search.

Farmer, lot of firewood in some of those trees. Is someone taking some of the trees for milling?

Prayers for all.

Good Morning All.

I hope someone has a video camera. I would love to see the aerial refueling of RNGs Fire Truck

The fire truck will drive less than 20 miles total. No fuel needed. . Logistics planned.

Good morning all. The forecast for today is - someone is going to wake up with a big smile on their face after making it through a really bad time. Happy Great Escape day BEF.


Except ... all the diversion plans will be useless if he's been up half the night watching Steve McQueen. I'm worried he's about to slip out unnoticed in that new chair, then starts pulling wheelies down the last corridor and ends up skidding sideways into the Subaru

Funny, PT said i havent practiced transfers from wheelchair to vehicle.i reminded them the first time from the hodpital, they didnt schedule ambulance transfer, so I did transfer from wheelchair to vehicle, and vehicle to wheelchair. Didnt need any more practice than that.....

BEF Except in true TBN style

68 deg and rain that's the end of my plan to cut the grass.
Drew safe travels to the RV show
BEF have a good trip home and enjoy some good food, sleeping in your own bed will be welcome I'm sure.
Randy hope you are still improving
Have a good morning all

Good morning! Up early for the Great Escape, Temp range in central TX is 78˚ to 98˚. Rain only from the pop up sprinklers.

BEF report in with the last weather report from the confines.

We had a big storm last night. Overcast 69° nice cooler day for the escape. Nurse just came in, i said get paperwork ready so i can leave at 11. She said i gotta get the paperwork, figure on 12. She came back in and said Dr just has to review. Get the firetruck ready, TBN operation BEFCON1 is about underway....

 

[buckeyefarmer]

By the sounds your leaving one way or another BEF.

When the nurse said, maybe 12 i muttered under my breath, I know where the door is, i dont need no stinkin paperwork.
