Good afternoon, good to be here; reheated coffee is fine with me. I've been dropping by almost every day, but not taking the time to write anything, had too much going on; but it seems to be settling down to a dull roar again.
Watched those two hurricanes with interest, for those of you n their way, and friends in the greater Houston area. All seem to have escaped major disaster, just losing some trees, and getting lots and lots of rain - but no flooding where they are. Our younger son and his wife are long haul truckers, and they had been running a contract haul from Pueblo, CO to Port Arthur, TX - forth and back. When the storm was eminent, their dispatcher held them in Pueblo for a few days, but decided that they could get one more run to Port Arthur in before it hit, so off they went. They got into Port Arthur when the first of the outer bands hit, actually, drove in heavy rain from north of Houston; got unloaded, and headed back to Pueblo in heavy downpour, and it went with them as far a Dallas before they got out of the rain. Back in Pueblo, they sat for a few days, and the company decided the job was going to be on indefinite hold, so off the went to other loads and adventures, mostly around the east and north, and mostly in rain, as the storm moved on north. They showed up here at home this morning without notice, stopping by for a day on their way to L. A. (Torrance); is good to see them.
We have gotten our butts kicked by some sort of bug. I came down with it in early August, and the Missus got it a few days later; it hurt me, but put her in the hospital with pneumonia for five days. She came home with an order for oxygen and other meds. But, we are getting better, slowly; I am going through a mild relapse right now, but hopefully, the antibiotics will kill it this time.
Glad to hear that you're on the mend, Li'l Roo, and back to your routines.
Time to go visit with the kids for a while before they head out again.
Later.
