Evening, everyone.
Jeffrey, sounds like things worked out OK in the end. I have same problem understanding the Asian subcontinent version of English.
I don't even bother calling Charter if I have a problem since their call center is Mumbai, India.
Chris, home health nurses and aides do have a tough job, and sometimes in some rough neighborhoods.
All the Hospice nurses and aides that worked with Jean in her final year of life were outstanding. It's not a job I could do and I have a lot of respect for them. Handing out government cheese is at least a little safer and less stressful. You know, of course, while you're "unemployed", the list of tasks you must do, since you're now officially a bum, will just continue to grow.
That was one thing about being a full-timer in a motorhome. There are only so many things you can do to something that's 26 feet long.
Barry, Arnold S-2's? I haven't seen one of those in a long time. They were good runners for their day and one of the better looking incarnations of an S-2. I'm glad to hear at least one train shop owner is looking to fill a niche market instead just stocking the latest RTR stuff. I hope your head/stomach thing goes away. It's about time for the seasonal flu to start rearing it's ugly head.
Sandy, the good thing about Denver is it usually does get sunny and the snow does melt. In Cleveland, once it snowed, it was on the ground until March. Ugh! I hated that. Steamboat is a really nice area but I'll bet it'll be mobbed for the first skiing weekend of the year. I remember the traffic up there as being a real nightmare, especially if the snow started back up.
Thanks, Rex. The best thing about the trip is that there's no cell phone service unless you're willing to pay about $20 a call. That means the two girls won't be calling momma every 15 minutes with the latest gossip or complaining about some perceived wrong that was done to them.
I may able to get a word in edgewise without being interrupted by another phone call. I will do my best to stay out of any lifeboats.
Have fun on your camping trip too. If it was my choice, I'd be headed for the woods for a week.
Spent most of the day packing and getting things in order for the trip. We're flying AirTrans, which charges $15 for the first bag and $25 for each additional bag, so I've got it down to one carry-on and one checked bag. Dianna made a huge sacrifice and only has two giant suitcases we have to check.
I have no idea what women have to take for a one week trip that can take that much space but I just try to stay out of the way and not ask too many questions.
We leave in the morning for Atlanta for an overnight stay and fly out to San Juan at 11:55 am. I forgot we gain an extra hour of sleep tomorrow night so that should help make things a little easier, as well as not driving up there and getting on a plane in one day.
It was really warm and humid today but, as usual, it looks like the cold front and its line of storms is falling apart. What little rain has developed has been in a thin band between Tuscaloosa and here. The NWS had a tornado watch out earlier but has now canceled it. I have no idea why they thought there was any chance of a tornado anyway.
The tropics, surprisingly, remain quiet, with no signs of any disturbed weather. I hope that bodes well for the cruise. I'm taking my baby netbook with me and I'll try to check in tomorrow form Atlanta. If not, I'll see you all in a week. Chris, remember to bring up that pressure washer and giant hedge trimmer if you have a party while I'm gone. Just in case, you know, so you'll have something to do if you get bored.
