Rain ~ Computer ~ Lydia & Gerry ~ USMC Birthday ~ New Wifi ~ Cupcake Day




Good 46ยบ drizzling morning. We got another inch of rain since yesterday.




I went to GP to Three Rivers for a fasting blood test first thing yesterday morning.


I was soooooooooo hungry I wanted to eat Dude and Bruiser's food!! Then after the test I got a kaluah latte from the vendor in the hospital. GOOOD!!!! Gotta get some of that kahlua syrup!


Wednesday it rained most of the day and all night. We got 1". So now that's over 3" total.



With my computer fritz I didn't get to post HAPPY ANNIVERSARY on the 8th for Lydia and Gerry Plunk. Happy 42nd kids.

Today is the 242nd birthday of the United Stated Marine Corps. Happy Birthday to all Marines, that includes my Jerry (RIP Jar Head!), my son Brian, my Italian son Alex, and our MCL.



The "birth" of the Marines occurred in 1775 in Tun Tavern in Philadelphia ....

"The motto of the Marine Corps is Semper Fidelis, Latin
for "always faithful". Until 1871 it was "First to Fight",
a motto that still applies. Through the years, Marines have
shortened it to Semper Fi, and "Semper Fi, Mac" is the universal Marine Greeting."

Later I called Charter to see about their wifi but after a chat they said I was too far away for them to hook me up. Next was Hughes Net. They will be out this week to install a satellite dish and I will have faster and better wifi. Yeah!


All I know. Nuff said. Happy TGIF. Ciao
