Merry Christmas. Just checking in to report that I'm still above ground and doing fairly well for an 81 year old. I lurk around Rivals semi-regularly but seldom post.
Anyone know if Don or Sawnee (both my age) are doing OK?

Sawnee still fighting Sir.
Merry Christmas from the Berg! I hope y'all have a great day with your family!! Mrs. M has been sick the past few days, hopefully she is on the mend, at least she sounds better. I had breakfast with my twisted sister and the rest, well most of our family this morning, she does the whole spread every Christmas morning. I really appreciate what she does, she is trying very hard to keep our family connected!
Merry Christmas to all of you good people here.
First Christmas in years without more people in the house. Just me, my wife, and daughter. I believe my wife enjoyed the day better although she misses her brother who used to come over with their mother but are now in Florida. Her mother used to drive her nuts (me too). My old karate instructor and his nieces used to come but had other plans this year. I am glad myself as the noise level was way down.

Hello all,
It was me, My Darling, my two girls, and two grand babies. My Darling cooked way too much, I cooked the meat, baby back ribs and a pot roast I made in the oven. (Have neighbors two doors down that we made extra for, his wife has been receiving treatments for cancer at 81 years old, he is 76.
(My youngest was his nurse on Fort Belvoir at the hospital and he mentioned her several times when we talked. He didn't know her name or that she was my daughter.) My daughter knew who he was after we talked a couple times as I mentioned it to her, still not knowing she was his nurse. She was very happy as she is very good at her job and tries hard.
We cooked enough for them. His wife is Korean like My Darling and they are good people. He is retired Army. (He and I hit it off nearly immediately when we moved here. He talks a lot but is conscious of how much he talks but he knows how to talk and I enjoy listening to him...)
All are gone now except me and My Darling. Way too full to sleep but I would if I could.
Took apart my youngest daughters toilet yesterday to replace the guts and clean it. Had a bolt rusted and it took me a long while to drill it out without breaking the water tank. I have it ready to put back but....tomorrow. (The hard work is done...) Had to take some pain pills the last couple days. Normally I do not need them..
Watching Half Past Dead right now. Almost finished. May watch another movie shortly. Too full to even drink a Yuengling. Have a peaceful rest of your night(s)... Off work the rest of the week so...
I am thankful...

Good morning folks.
This will go down in family annals as the year Christmas extended into the 26th.
My son finally got to a DC area airport at 6pm last night-36 hours after he arrived at the airport in Austin and 28 hours late. We decided to hold off opening presents til this morning, which we will do a little later.
But we had a fantastic Christmas dinner after I got Jack home from the airport with ten people in my home —mostly my wife’s relatives from Manhattan along with a cousin of hers from Ireland on a visit to the states, along with my daughter’s boyfriend. It was a grand, fun time.
I hope it was a Merry Christmas for all of you.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 57°F and cloudy. Chance for thunderstorms late this afternoon. Today's high may reach 75°F.
Hope y'all had a memorable Christmas. Cornish hen turned out well.
Have a good one.

Morning Legionnaires!
47° this morning with the high to be in the mid 50's and rain expected later this morning.
Back to the grind this morning. Regular workout and monster walk shortly.
Wife still off until Monday so, probably do some movie binge watching along with a trip to the city (OKC) sometime this week. Going to go to Bass Pro Shop with the gift cards I got for Christmas to add to my already large amount of gear.
Well, got to head out to the shop and get started.
God Bless and have a great day.
Good morning all, just getting up. My Darling and I being lazy finally. Worked hard the last several days but we are thankful.
Will probably head over and finish my daughters toilet after coffee.
Plan on eating out for supper. Will take the youngest daughter and the BB but they don't know it yet.
Going to make some coffee shortly.... Have a fine day.
Glad your family got together finally MdW. Have a blessed day. Make it Christmas again, seems you have....

Good morning everyone.
We also had a smaller crowd at my parents.....only 30. 30 - 50 is the normal crowd for "events". We did have a lady from my parents church who didn't have anyplace (or anyone) to go. I was worried about her, but she fit right in and I think enjoyed having people to talk with.
Not too much basketball talk after the last loss. I did get the Goose's book and Glory about the 78 team for Christmas....so plenty of basketball reading ahead.
Dad and Mom (83 &80) are still doing OK, but Dad desperately needs work on one of his knees again and is having difficulty getting in anywhere. Hope he's ready to fish by spring.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Late Christmas wishes. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves.
Our hot water heater busted and flooded our basement so that's what I've been doing since Friday. Along with hosting a Christmas Eve party. On top of buying a new unit we lost our carpet. Getting the glue off the floor from the carpet pad is a major nightmare. Tried everything and my arm is sore from all the scraping. This is my home theater room and where I watch all UK games. Gotta get it back to normal.

Sorry to hear that for sure...
I finished my youngest daughters toilet replacement today. (Took me about an hour and a half at most.) So far it isn't leaking and seems to work. Was sure a bear to clean and remove Christmas Eve though, I think it was the original guts in a house built in the late 70's. I hated to spend $200.00 on a water reservoir tank so I drilled and drilled until I got the rusted bolt out and luckily didn't bust the tank. Lowes wanted over $400.00 for just the labor. The toilet itself seemed okay so I put in the work. I know I spent a good five or six hours on it just being careful taking it apart and cleaning it up. (I did end up driving back and forth to Lowes a couple times as I thought I had all the parts the first time and didn't so I spent at least an hour doing that.
Not at all comparing to what you had to deal with but this Ole boy is sore. I am thankful though and that was this daughters Christmas present. (She didn't mind.) I think I spent $50.00 or so bucks on the guts, hose and handle plus Ole Dad's labor. (I needed the physical work but darn, replacing toilet guts is about as tedious a job as I can imagine to me.)
I have her oil and filter here to change her oil as well... I keep telling myself I need to do the physical work as I work as hard as you can work and still sit in a chair for my day job. (Wasn't always that way...)
I am thankful... enjoy what's left of your evenings all...
