Good morning, all!
Lots going on here, so I see!
Well, the temps here reflected a wind chill factor of 25o early this morning, and even though that's a lot more tolerable than what some of you have been experiencing, it is just an indicator of how the weather has affected most of the states.
I'm glad I never got rid of my winter clothes from up North.
Jim, I was on the forum when you were a mod, but because I'm not a steady poster, you probably don't remember me.
So glad everything turned out well for you!

Good morning, Gracie and OTD. It's a bitter cold -4 and -21 expected tonight. UGH
Good Morning.
Glad to hear the folks that had a CABG are healing.
I've not been too involved in College football the last few years but good to see my team win a big one last night!

Thanks for all the good wishes guys. I'll just finish the story and be done with it.
After the Surgery, my breastbone (Sternum) didn't heal. Went through a second surgery. It still won't heal. I have titanium plates holding it together, but the plates are moving slightly. The Doc's are signing me off for total disability. May be a blessing in disguise. After working for 48 years, it's probably time to take a break. All will be normal, except I can't lift anything heavy, and have to sleep in a recliner.
Anyhoo, with that said,
How did everyone make it in the storm. Hope all made it through healthy, and with minimum damage. My two boys in Scranton, & Bloomsburg, PA did well, but they weren't in the worst area.
@hittman - I don't remember Dvap, but my prayers are with him. Hope he's following up with the Doc's.
@FranC - Sorry to hear about the Hubby. Hope he's doing well.
It really sucks getting old.

That's quite a story,Jim. Glad you're OK. It's time to take it easy after those 48 years.
Oh and my hubby is fine outside of an almost always ache in his collarbone.
Stay warm Fran.
Jim, sounds like your travel days are over. Don't think you will miss it at first but that's what you are used to. Looks like my air travels will also slow down quite a bit this year.

Yup - I Think I'm done. I won't miss the Air Travel, and I can still drive, so when my final income is determined, maybe I can make a few trips. I'm still driving the Smart Car, so it could get interesting.
Afternoon everyone. I'm very ready for the weekend. I've been installing and setting up new pc's all day. We're getting ready for a mainframe upgrade and I got to set up all the workstations. The cable guy is supposed to come Tuesday to run new CAT6 cables and I've got one of the existing mainframe cables that I need him to trace out and possibly replace. Didn't get any of my regular work done today so Monday should be very busy for me.
Heck of a busy day Hitt.
Sliding titanium plates doesn't sound at all comfortable Jim. i hope you get to take some fun trips.
I knew you wouldn't be making the international work trips, PT. Does that mean fewer overall or will you partly compensate with more trips inside the US?

Jim, I'm the opposite, would prefer to fly than drive.
CES, I still have my full-time job, but its covering Eastern Okla. I was doing the International thing as a side/very part-time job, combining weekends/holidays/vacation time with the same company. The company policy changed for paid speakers, mostly Doctors we sponsor for lectures that I fell under and they finally had to enforce it. I can't commit to move to Paris or Tokyo. I'll still be flying 4-5 times a year to domestic sales meetings.

I didn't realize that the international stuff wasn't part of your primary job. sigh.
That really is too bad PT. I know how much you enjoyed the international trips and we enjoyed the pics you shared with us.
