An old Army buddy of mine (CW4 retired) and boss for a while after the Army (Got me started with military contractor and then Civil Service) just lost his wife and mother-in-law to "Covid-19". His MIL moved in last year and was living with them after they built an extra room onto their house. MIL recently went out (not sure where) and came back apparently contracting the virus. All three tested positive but, MIL and his wife were both in poor health already have been hospitalized a few times over a year or so. Wife went to Hospital Sunday and died with MIL doing the same on Tuesday. He is doing good (72 years old) in relation to virus but is devastated from the losses. He worked with my wife for years on the contractor side and helped her get the job she is in. My wife's boss said he was not responding to anyone's text or calls from the contract and ask if I would contact him since we served together and got along. Not many got along with him because he was a straight shooter and did not coddle workers he supervised.
I contacted him last night in a text and offered my condolences and help if he needed it. He responded within minutes and thanked me and said he was having a tough time dealing with it and would let me know. My wife was a bit surprised he responded because he did not to anyone else. But, I said: "none of them were in the military and we spent a lot of time in Germany and Ft. Sill together before both retiring.

Or having the room under the hood (without all the pollution stuff) to actually be able to work on it. That's assuming any kids today even know how to.
Welcome back. Always great seeing you. Don't be a stranger.Not much exciting ATC. Was in the bluegrass for a couple of weeks then in Fla for a few weeks.
I had a 56 too, title for it read assembled from junk!!!!! 4 speed and had cutoffs on. It sounded great when the caps were off except when the cops stopped me!!!Or having the room under the hood (without all the pollution stuff) to actually be able to work on it.

Had a '56 Chevy and you could literally sit in it while working on it if you wanted to.
Now the package is in Cincinnati after starting in Indianapolis. If gas does go up, the mail people may be forced to become efficient.😂
70 miles? Indeed.Dang it Bert, that package stayed in Evansville for two days!!!!! I could have walked to Smith's Grove by now!!!! It says it is in route, hopefully today!!!
70 miles? Indeed.
Gotta love US Postal Service, especially this time of year. I wonder if @UK_fan_41102 received his package yet?
It's just regular eggnog, and one of the better ones you'll find in stores. I've never tried eggnog with alcohol.The heck with that, just do the eggnog, no need to fake it.... Jmusao
Not yet. It has went from Indianapolis to Charleston, WVa to Memphis and now to Cincinnati. So it went by Cincinnati the first time, only to wind up there now. That's what you call efficient.70 miles? Indeed.

All kidding aside, a shot of bourbon is great in eggnog, if you like bourbon. And I may be the only person on the planet who mixes vodka with ice cream for a float. Or double float maybe.It's just regular eggnog, and one of the better ones you'll find in stores. I've never tried eggnog with alcohol.
I just got a package from Amazon that sat in Louisville's distribution center for 6 days. Frustrating as hell.Not yet.

So sorry for your friend Warrior.

That's the best way to drink eggnog. Of course I'd only use the cheap bourbon. No way would I waste the good stuff on eggnog.All kidding aside, a shot of bourbon is great in eggnog, if you like bourbon.

Howdy catfaninsc. Long time no see.
My wife is the one frustrated, since it's a Christmas gift for our daughter and it was ordered on Black Friday. At this point, it's become laughable, watching it go around in circles. I told my wife that before it's over, it will be back in Charleston. She wouldn't bet me on it.I just got a package from Amazon that sat in Louisville's distribution center for 6 days.

Dang that's cool!!!!!Many have heard of the "Don't Mess With Texas" anti-litter ad campaign. 30 years ago, Texas Department of Transportation filmed an amazing commercial involving the Confederate Air Force. Below are production shots. B-17 flyover was breathtaking at ~20 feet altitude. Location was near Midland, TX.

Know the feeling. Family member waiting on a letter mailed from Indy on the 2nd. Still has not arrived. Maybe Santa will bring it to them.
Wonder if you could even make a commercial like that these days with all the OSHA laws and so forth.Many have heard of the "Don't Mess With Texas" anti-litter ad campaign. 30 years ago, Texas Department of Transportation filmed an amazing commercial involving the Confederate Air Force.

My first car was a 55 Chevy. Not a hard top, but a V-8.I had a 56 too, title for it read assembled from junk!!!!! 4 speed and had cutoffs on. It sounded great when the caps were off except when the cops stopped me!!!
She continues to fail after 54 years! No toe. No line.Howdy back Bert. I trust Sherry has been making you toe the line.
I've heard a lot of people say it's even better spiked. I guess I'm going to have to try some bourbon in eggnog and find out.All kidding aside, a shot of bourbon is great in eggnog, if you like bourbon.

I moved to Texas in 1985. 1986 was the Texas sesquicentennial. It was wonderful.Dang that's cool!!!!!
Would have Paid a small fortune back in the day to have been there. Unfortunately for me, that would have amounted to about ten bucks. Come to think of it, ten bucks is still a lot if you know what I mean. Things change, but everything stays the same. But I digress. Would have been fun.

Seeing one part bourbon to 5 parts eggnog. I also plan on trying some very soon.I've heard a lot of people say it's even better spiked. I guess I'm going to have to try some bourbon in eggnog and find out.
yes you are exactly correct.I liked Willie Nelson's records but didn't like his performances. He seldom sang them in his performances like they were recorded. Same for Jerry Lee Lewis.
