    How is everybody holding up?

    The oldest son is a commercial pilot...has been for almost 10 years, now. He's in a comfortable place in the seniority standings in his company, but has decided to take a voluntary leave of absence for the next 2 months. Pilot son & his wife live in TUL, but he's based at ORD, so the reduction...

    Enjoyed working in the yard today...not sure what the official high was, but at some point this afternoon, I saw the mercury hit 83°! Looks like we might have one more "cool" weekend, then crossing my fingers we finally hit 90° next week! So ready for summertime, summertime, sum, sum...

    Thanks, @kcstorm06 ❤ opk was so supportive last year, when I was battling cancer, myself. His battle lasted 5 years...ups & downs, but he always had a positive attitude. I will miss him in so many ways...I already do.

    @Scottsdale.Sooner, it's not nearly "summer" enough for me, yet!!! In fact, I was so cold last week, I was back to wearing winter hoodies! I dunno, maybe it's warmer over there on the east side of the Valley! :cool:

    CLOB

    Y'all obviously don't get over to the working class neighborhoods...aka, the west side of town! I've lived in the far NW Valley for almost 26 years & have never known us to NOT have a Whataburger! My youngest son is almost 24 & I know I consumed at least a couple of their burgers during that...

    Hello, boys...

    Remember when I said that "I had just crossed over from New Mexico into the Texass panhandle," when I got the call last year? Well, today, just 2 days shy of the 1 year anniversary of getting the call that changed my life forever, I took the Ivy Road exit on I-40 eastbound in the Texas...

    Hello, boys...

    Frou, you have always had a special place in my heart...and I just knew I needed to be there that day. Your brother & nephew were dealt a blow that was truly unimaginable. I would have driven a thousand miles to be there. Thanks, again, for the unexpected chat this evening. You made my heart...

    Hello, boys...

    Thanks for the kind words, bullmarket. I finally got to take a trip to NYC about 4 years ago. Would've been really special to have taken a drive out on Long Island...to West Babylon, was it? I miss that wise man! ❤
