Sitting in a coffee shop in Harpers Ferry WV, drove northeast from Front Royal VA. Never been here before cool place.
You are in the neighborhood.. It is nice there. I havent been downtown in yrs, but we hike and bike across the river on the c&o towpath. You can walk across river on the train bridge.

No root canal! Just a permanent filling where the tooth had a tiny crack and hopefully that will be all that's necessary. I took the day off from chores, anyway.
My dentist wants to crown mine because of a crack.
I have several crowns already, a royal mouthful.......

Got my new, made in the USA flag up tonight. One of the metal clips had broke, and the old flag was in pretty bad shape.

Harper's Ferry is a neat place to visit. I've been there several times, including once in the late 1950's or early 60's before it was restored. At that time, it was basically just as it was after the Civil War.
There's a spot up by the railroad tracks that you can stand in three states (MD, VA and WV) in one place...don't know if you saw that, but if you go again...do that. If you get on Route 15 North, you go right to Antietam...continue further north on 15, you end up at the Gettysburg battle field. This is a great day trip, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
BTW, if you get hungry on the way, stop at the Old South Mountain Inn near Antietam for some chow.

I’m in the hotel in Gettysburg right now, waiting on Ellen to get out of the shower!

You drove right by and didnt stop, lol

Dobbin house is a good place to eat, but kind of late now. The lincoln diner, just north of the square is also a favorite.

I've hiked the AT from here to Harpers Ferry, a little over 15 miles i think.

Good evening all. 44F this morning, light breeze, mostly clear sky. Sky stayed clear, wind did not blast today, and high temp was 68F. This morning did some consulting, went with wife to Sanger, and got BBQ for lunch :). Bike ride this afternoon, no nap.

Prayers for all.

No root canal! Just a permanent filling ...

That worked out well, now you can really enjoy all that left over turkey :)

Some cynics would say smart dentists always try to defer root canals for later - for them it's more inflation proof than having the money sat in their bank accounts.

What a treat it was yesterday to be able to finally get on the grass without making too much mess and harrow the hay field. With a clear sky it was easy to see the shadows of a pair of buzzards circling above the tractor, following me up and down for the first hour until they had eaten too much to do any more soaring.

Freedom, the smile at the very end of your video says many things without a single word :-
aren't FELs great - phew, nothing went wrong - 4 in 1 buckets are really neat - I have a wonderful wife.
Did I miss anything ? :)

Good morning all, 36 here now going to 56 and sunny. Busy day yesterday but did nothing special. Hope to get something done today that I want to do, will see.

Don, thanks for the tip.

Randy, used to go through there pretty regular when we lived in Lancaster Co. Pretty country.

Drew, You are right, treat people well and they will mostly treat you well. People tend to forget that these days.

Prayers sent. Have a great day. Ed

20 and going to a high of 43F. Wind N 11 gusting to 17 mph. FINALLY! Temps are over the freezing point.

Maybe now we can have spring and I can get some stuff done. Included in that 'stuff' is pull the snow banks away from the house. That will be todays job.
The 5 loads of pit run (5" minus) gravel will cost me about $1,000.oo cash. The loads will weigh somewhere around 18 to 20 ton each. I can't/won't get them until after the half load season is over. (24 May at the earliest) That will give me a very small 'window' to get it spread before I go back to work. :pullinghair:

Have a good day all

29F now low 40's for high cloudy sky.
Friday :dance1: looking forward to outside spring cleaning this weekend.
Guess I better get those feeders fill quick like for the little setting on window cells looking and both kittens racing from window to window. :eek:

Enjoy the day all.

Major Bummer. We actually got a frost here...White Roof Of Death on my truck this morning.
Will quickly melt but a real blast of cold clear air now in this area.

Randy, have a piece of shoo fly pie in Lancaster. It's not my favorite but what a great name.

Have been trying hard to be good and not go to fast food for breakfast,
or worse, the greasy spoon 1/2 mile away, and instead eat lowfat yogurt and a hardboiled egg
for breakfast. And a banana usually. Never lasts though.
Now half a left over cheeseburger, oh yeah...;)

I should take an orange out with me in the morning and have that mid morning.

We are at the Inn At Cemetery Hill, ate dinner at O’rourke’s Pub. 33 here at Gettysburg. Going to the visitor center and heading home.
BEF, next time I’m going to try and tell you I’m coming.

Buppies, I still want to get down your way also but not enough time this trip, gotta be home for Ellen’s dads birthday this afternoon.

Prayers all around guys, y’all are the best!

We are at the Inn At Cemetery Hill

sounds like you are having a great time, drive safely and after you see Buppies you are going to swing S/E and see me before you head back home over the big bridge.
Yup, got this planned. :dance1:
