Thanks for the welcome neighbor - near Macon?

A little about me:

I work on Ft Stewart since moving down from Atlanta where I worked at Ft Mac for 3 years. I'm an Accountant for the Army and been retired from the USAF for near 20 years. Married to the same great lady for going on 36 years and she is THRILLED I quit the cigs. Have 3 grown kids - 2 of them smoked but I bought them both kits and they are vaping now.

Other than vaping (which is my newest hobby), I love guns and shooting and I get to the range at least once a week. One of the few "sports" where us old folks can still compete with the kids and hold our own. I actually discovered vaping on a gun forum I am a member of...

About an hour away or so from everything... In the boondocks - not really near anything.

Wow, only been vaping for 3 weeks and already a converter. Retired AF here myself (23 years)... I hope my wife can put up with me for 36 years (23 years with my wife)...

Welcome NGIB............

Hey, where is Taxman - he should have checked in by now. Well, we are just going to have to dock his vaping supplies. What should the charge be - on bottle of juice??? LOL

WooHoo, one good note. I got my new system up and running. When you run it, like many programs, it comes up and tells you the estimated expected run time. The first time I ran it - >1 Day is what I got - not good when it is supposed to take 5 - 7 minutes... I got it now, so that is a good thing.

I guess all bad also comes with good... (LOL)...

I think I saw a new member (a cobra if I got my snakes right)... Welcome Tom, tell us a yarn and we will share ours in turn...

So what is the system you are working on? The geek in me wants to know.

Sorry about your dog!

I was up at 2:45!!! Fell asleep on the couch, then when I woke up to go to bed I couldn't get back to sleep. Getting up early is great for thinking of ideas, though, at least for me.

Good morning semi, harley and FranC, hope didn't leave any one out but if I had a senior moment good morning to all.

Welcome Tom and NGIB to the group

I have lost 5 lbs. in the last 3 weeks so keeping it going..

Anyone see the big moon this weekend, it was something to see.

Wow, such harsh punishment for A Monday. I was trying to to catch up on the weekend posts. had a house full of Grandkids that needed or demanded my attention. But I'm finally here and will pay the fine as imposed. What flavor would you prefer?

I am building some new forecasting algorithms / logarithms with pattern identification and sub breakouts with pre-notification routines. Can't tell details more than that (sorry)...

Well you are forgiven - This Time... Grandkids - must be fun...

But, let's see you did just get a shipment from GP - hmmmm, naw could not do that to you... LOL

 

[Semiretired]

Well, I am rested from chasing down the dog - now I gotta get to my projects... See ya'll later...

 

[MikeE3]

I do sinks and toilets too

If I need to know how to fix something, I post a picture of my painted toenails next to a tool on the professional forums. Then the guys think I might be a hot young chick, so they crawl all over each other to give me advice.

Work it girl! And does you tool box look like this one?

I prefer to use my old calculator when working w/ logs.

Good morning everyone! Yep that was a big moon for sure of course I'm sure it was bigger here in Texas than the other states.lol Welcome to our group and congrats NGIB on getting off the cigs. Good to see ya Tom10 and glad to see you over here. This is a great group and I'm sure you will enjoy your stay.
Y'all arre right bout GV they are the masters of hype for sure. They can sell the same thing with a different name and theirs is always designed and improved by them. They are the only ones I have found selling the 3 ml ce3 (Phoenix) though and mine is still working good.
I just spent my 2nd night in a recliner here with my Mom but did manage a couple of hour nap at the motel yesterday afternoon. I have been able to Skype some of her grandchildren that can't make it back to Texas to say good bye to her and that has been good for them. It will take a mathmatician to figure out how many great grandchildren she has especially if you include all the step ones that consider her their granny too! She even has a few great great great grandchildren.

Congratulations on the year Jewels. I'm excited because I will be at 8 weeks tomorrow......looking forward to the one year milestone.

Congrats Diva on your 2 month mark.

LMAO....some actually gave me a toolbox like that once....I was highly insulted.

Thinking about Sandy's painted toenails...LOL. It is amazing how "helpless" we women can be sometimes when we need help. I have been asked multiple times what I would do if I ever laid down my Harley (I never have, BTW). I always explain that I don't worry about that, as there as always plenty of big strong men who would run to help the old lady pick up the bike.

I am happy to hear that you were able to get a bit of rest. I know that this can be a tiring time so please be sure to get all the rest you can. Mom was bedridden for the last 6 months of her life so I know how tiring it is but in the end the time we spend with our loved ones is all so worth it.

She sounds like a wonderful person and is loved by all.

I saw that moon. It was almost like daylight Saturday night. Was pretty cloudy last night though but I could still see it up there. Beautiful. The biggest moon I ever saw was when we lived in Tyler, TX. Was driving around the loop and that big ol' moon was low in the sky and was right there in front of me. So yes, it actually is bigger in Texas.

 

[mattiem]

Good morning everyone. Looks like we have some new friends joining us this am. Great to see both of y'all. Sit down and stay a while. We love getting to know what is up in your life.

Taking a break from moving cabinets...

Hey Mike - is that the new tool box Janet got you for XMas?

I prefer my good old stats program and excel now adays, but still have one of those in the drawer - only use it to show my daughters friends the old fashion way now adays...

 

[Semiretired]

Willie, thanks - you do not here much from him anymore and he was one of the greats in my book - there were so many good artists back in that time...

 

[Semiretired]

Tex, it is good you are finding time to rest while you are there. I know it is hard, but your own health is also important...
