Diana, Dale is fine this morning so far. I just heard her so I assume she is OK. :biggrin:
I am going for my beach walk now and it is 20 degrees, so I won't be bringing my Speedo. :eek2:
This morning I went for a stress test and a carotid artery test. It was just a maintenance thing that I do every 10 years or so. She said not to speak while she was giving me the test, but she was a talker and didn't take a breath, so I couldn't answer. That was hard because usually I can't...
I am going to try to go on my walk this morning. I am not sure if I can make it near the beach as we have snow plowed up 12' high and still have 5' drifts.
But real men like myself and I assume many men here should have no problem.
I am going to clean off my car as I can't see through a foot...
I made it to my garage which is below my Condo and where my man Cave and fish are.
The fish have no idea whats going on outside and don't seem to care. They just want to eat.
This shovel is about 18" high.
Last night I made Manhattan Chowder. Here it is before I finished filling the pot...
Good Morning. 25 degrees and can't tell how much snow we have so far because I can't open my front door to get out. It looks like about 18" but there are huge drifts because it is very windy.
My lights blinked a couple of times and I hope the power stays on. It would take a lot of shoveling...
Diana, in the 70s I made so much money plowing snow that I didn't know what to do with it. After this snowstorm in I think 1974, my wife and I went to Bermuda just on that one days plowing. Remember, there was no 4 wheel drives then unless you had a military Jeep as I had or an International...
Today, barring any medical issues I am going to get my generator rolled out and ready to go. We are expecting maybe 2' of snow.
I have 20 gallons of gas for my generator which should get me through a couple of days as I don't run it continuously. Only about 15 minutes an hour to keep the heat on.
I had a big scare last night that almost gave me a heart attack. I was taking a shower, and I heard Dale scream louder than I have ever heard her scream.
I thought someone was killing her. I ran in there and she was in so much pain that she couldn't stand, breathe or move her mouth. I didn't...
We are invited out tonight for dinner, but I want to make Manhattan Clam Chowder tomorrow night. I went to the supermarket for the Chowder stuff, and I forgot that we are supposed to get a huge snowstorm tomorrow into Monday with maybe 50MPH winds. It's a Nor'easter, and they predict 10 to 18"...
Diana, black linguine and clams is my favorite dish.
I also like stuffed calamari
And anything with clams
This is for chowder
Also love oysters. :) As you probably do.
Diana, that is one reason I get up about 5:00 every morning. I go on my walk then come back and start building something or just
designing. The designing takes far more time than building.
I keep pencils around and in my car for when an inspiration hits me so I can draw it. If Dale is...
So I completed this very cool Steampunk piece a week ago, and I think I'm going to keep it for myself. I have to "eliminate" another piece first, so Dale doesn't throw me out.
And just now, I acquired another vintage glass dome, so I started building another one. I live to build.
I...
Diana. Thank you. Our Daughter called me to tell me to wrap bubble wrap around myself just for that reason. I already had 39 surgeries for breaks and tears and that is worse for Dale than it is for me. :confused:
Our Daughter Jodi and Grand Daughter Greta
Hello, this is Dale, Paul's wife. Thank you all so much for your good wishes and concerns. Paul has been keeping me updated on all your posts. I truly appreciate all the good wishes and prayers.
Unfortunately, this is a chronic condition for many years and occasionally it rears its ugly head at...
