Good afternoon Folks! Hope all is well with every one. I had a trip to my doctor this morning and then on to the er. Turns out I had a little A-Fib going on. I.V. and meds at the pharmacy and I am home. Back to see the heart doctor Monday and then probably schedule an appointment to shock my heart back into rhythm. I feel a lot better now. I sure hope Cal has things figured out. I think a win over the Irish would help me a bunch. Have a good rest of Your day Folks!
This amazing formation up near Bert's place is called Frozen Niagara. I missed it when touring the park 5 years ago.
Been there. I took the family on a week long vacation in the late 70's. We spent half of the time in Nashville and half the time in Mammoth Cave. This was part of our tour. But the thing the kids really enjoyed was eating hamburgers and hot dogs in the big ole dining hall deep inside the cave. They thought it was pretty cooll.This amazing formation up near Bert's place is called Frozen Niagara. I missed it when touring the park 5 years ago.
Yes, similar to deep mines out in SE KY.
My wife just brought me a big piping hot sweet potato out of the oven. And it is sweet. Excuse me . I will check with y'all on down the road.

I was at Leonard Wood in 72. I ran my bct one mile in the mid 6 minutes. They just about killed us in AIT and we ran everywhere. They told us that anyone that maxed the PT test could leave a day early after graduation. I ran the two mile in 10:50. I wanted off that base so badly, I was not going to let anything keep me from maxing that test.

We did too. Like that was going to save you from a nuclear blast.
Glad you are feeling better and pray your Dr gets you back in rhythm.
Below are wild camel roaming around in the Saudi Desert and then a picture of our sleeping arrangement in Saudi tents. Notice how much space there was between bunks. Our gear on the cot when we weren't in it and at our feet when in the rack resting.
Do they have to break them, like they do wild mustangs, or are they saddle ready once you catch them?
Agree.

Those are some serious man boobs. Looks like a waste of humanity.
No idea, that's as close as I could get to it. It ran as I got closer.
More camel and then me talking another section chief into sharing some Puerto Rican food from a can his wife sent to him.

Good stuff! Which unit were deployed with in Saudi - Desert Storm.?More camel and then me talking another section chief into sharing some Puerto Rican food from a can his wife sent to him.
5/18th FA BN- 75 FA BDE. We supported the 7th Army and the 18th Airborne Corps while in Saudi & Iraq.
Good Saturday morning D
I just poured another cup of coffee and enjoying the smell of bacon frying in the pan. We have a mild temperature of 58° with a rain shower and the high today is expected to be 72° The rain shower should be out of here soon and a little sun appear. Winds are 1 mph.
The vaccine is ready and local health care and nursing homes should start receiving it next week. I am not sure I am going to take it. My wife says no but she has never had a flu shot in her life or had the flu that I know of. She hasn't had it in our 54 years together.
I am hesitant because I know no one personally that has had the virus. No one in a very large church I attend, no one in the neighborhood and non of my family that I am aware of. So I might skip it but then again I am not decided. I am not worried about the vaccine itself, why would I worry about that at my age, but i am not sure it is worth the time to do it. Time will tell
Other than that all is well in my world. I saw the doctors twice this week and got very good reports. I am not scheduled to see another doctor for 6 months to follow up on my cancer.
Trust all are doing well and have a great day. Prayers for those in need.

This week we are headed over to Cedar Key to enjoy our annual Christmas season fresh seafood and to walk the streets of this very old city.
Cedar Key is on the Gulf Coast and is a small town of about 750 people living on the islands of the key. It is a taste of a world gone by and it takes effort to get over there. The entire area is very sparsely populated but if you like the best fishing the Gulf has to offer and small time charm it is a great place to visit. You are not going to find any malls or chain restaurants, chain hotels or any such thing. It is like it was in 1850 except with electricity and a few vehicles. I am going for the oysters.

I'll be right down......
Good friend of mine down the road is going thru the same thing. He had to wear some type of monitor for about 2 weeks. Don't know specifics...but it sounded like it was in constant touch with the doctor's office as to what the readings were. Then when they took it off I guess they could get more readings from it. Might have that all wrong, not sure. About a week later he had an appt. and the doctor told him that he had been in A-Fib 45% of the time he was being monitored. So, I think, he has an appt this coming week to do the rhythm procedure like you.
He's not feeling bad...but he knows that something's was wrong.
He's on my prayer list for a successful procedure...and I'll do the same for you tapemaster.
Been busy for a few days so I haven't checked the board much. Wet day in Ohio but fairly nice temp wise. Looks like the temp will be falling, so I got a few things done outside and most things are packed up/stacked up/buttoned up for Winter.
Y'all have a good day.
Blue, come on down, we will leave the light on for you.
This part of Florida is known as the Nature Coast because it is pretty much unspoiled and does not have any large towns. My brother lives in another very old part of the state in the "Forgotten Coast" in a little town of 2,000. Just about everyone in the little town is involved in commercial fishing, with crabs and oysters being the main source of income.
I wore one of those heart monitors for a week a few years back. The doctor said it was very sensitive and precise. At the end of the week there were a couple things of note - you could actually see where I was stressing my heart at the end of my weekend runs for example. But there were two very sharp spikes on the graph that showed worrisome ‘events’ that could be located precisely in time in the middle of the work week. I went back in my schedule and was shocked that both came right at the start of meetings I had with this boss who I hated and who I believed was unfairly targeting me. If you don’t think stress can be dangerous to your heart, that was proof for me. Thankfully the asshole got torpedoed by a couple women who went to HR and accused him of bullying and inappropriate behavior. Normally that would have struck me as PC run amok, but I was glad to see this guy go.
I am going to take it, when available. From what I have read, the only concern is that there could be long term health effects from the vaccine, and they think those concerns are very minimal. The way I look at it, is that at my age, I'm concerned about the present. Long term isn't a real concern when you are almost 70. If I was 35 and healthy, I might think twice, but not now, and at my age.
This is pretty much my feeling. At my age I am not concerned with long term health effects.
My son is scheduled to take it on the 15th. Tuesday.
Good morning D, rained most of the night but it's partly cloudy now and 56 degrees.
Got all my glass baked and starting to put them together this morning. Made 6 3inch glass bulbs yesterday and after polishing them up they look good!
There's a good article in our paper this morning via the Washington post about the Geminid Meteor shower, it's supposed to peak tomorrow night from midnight to the early dawn hours with the "potential" of dozens of meteors. If you have never watched one it is worth the time to get a chair and go out and watch it. It supposed to clear up here so me and Mrs. M will probably get up early Monday and watch for a while! It also says it's possible there may be up to 50 per hour. It also says that there is no specific place to watch, we usually set facing different ways so we will see where most of them are coming from, then start watching that area.
I hope the D has a great day and prayers for the D!!!!
Got to get started getting TBL and TRL'S together!!!!

Much respect to both you guys.
I was there in a civilian capacity assigned to the 1st ID (Mech) when the 2AD Fwd brigade was attached. You could always tell a unit from 2AD Fwd because, unlike the Big Red One units, they came from Germany with green camo BDUs instead of the chocolate chip ones.
Much respect to you as well. You were certainly there. Few personnel outside of both units -- 1ID and 2AD FWD -- know that little detail. Yes, we deployed down from Garlstedt. We had so little time for prep.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 54°F and sunny. Today's high should reach 68°F.
Game Day! Has Cal turning it around? We shall see. Go Cats!
We'll check back later. Y'all behave.

I was coming off of the trail 31 August 1990 and requested a unit that was going. Reported in 1 Sept and was in Saudi 4 Oct. my Howitzer had already been loaded on a ship before I got to the unit and I found out it had been cannibalized to get the others ready and was completely dead lined and in serious need of repair. Below is my Howitzer at the BN maintenance camp within our perimeter. Was constantly there for repairs to get it up to standard before the ground war started.
This was our first line of defense. The Russians did not have this in place. They knew we would survive and they would not. So they never nuked us. It worked.
I cannot remember us ever doing this drill in my school during the 50s.
