What's on your agenda for today?

I am dizzy just reading about your upcoming summer, Annie. Not enough days to juggle all that.

Flying the Vice President, his secretary and a friend of the Vice President of the company that I fly for down to Richmond later this morning and then back home after dinner. I just checked the aviation weather forecast and it looks to be a dreary day. This man, (the VP), is also a nervous flyer and we will be in turbulence for most of the short trip because of flying in low altitude and crappy weather, so I will make sure that we have a fresh supply of sickness (barf) bags on-board the aircraft.

Update: We had a very rough ride home last evening due to the storms on the east coast. Being that it was such a short trip between the two destinations, I kept my altitude at 22,000 feet, just below the ceiling of the clouds. However, we had very heavy rains, some wind at around 15-20 kts., but thankfully no lightning. The person that I thought that would become ill did not, but his secretary did. I think her issue was nerves. We were tossed around pretty good. Then, to make matters worse, when we were in our final descent, the ATC tells me that I have an MD-80 on my butt and that I had to go around. I was already at 8000 ft., so when I had to accelerate and climb, everyone in the back thought we were having a mechanical issue. I had my FO explain to our passengers what was going on over the intercom. I was told after we landed that the lady was freaking out, so I am sure that her nerves got the best of her. I am going to call and check on her today.
 
Good grief, Oldman. I felt sick just reading about your adventure yesterday.

The sun is out right now even though according to the weatherliars it's not supposed to be. Even NOAA is showing rain on the radar right over us. I'm more than ready for the rain to move on out, but noooooooooooooo. Our neighborhood yard sale was postponed last Saturday and is now supposed to happen this Saturday. Well. This time last week, the forecast was for a sunny day. This week the forecast started out with a sunny day on Saturday. It changed each day by just a little and is now up to a 30% chance of rain with really cool temps. A low of 52? Ack! A high of 66? More ack!!!!

I'm in charge of supper tonight so need to get a wiggle on. It's going to be BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, and the pork needs to already be in the crockpot.
 

You are so thoughtful, oleman.
Will they postpone the yardsale again, Georgia.
Just another day of sorting for me....along with finishing up some Halloween stuff, to send to grand daughter and great grand babies in Utah. My grandaughters and daughter decorate for every holiday...and always want me to paint them things. Decided my heritage to them will be painting them all things they are requesting. Then for each holiday, as they decorate, I will be there celebrating with them. They are now into blackboard stuff....not much of a heritage lol

All of it isn't going to work. Most important is attending niece's wedding in Scotland. Next is the dates of the river cruise my sister and us will go on. Everything else must work out around those. I don't think my nephew will be broken hearted if we don't attend his graduation party as he'll get one or two more degrees and we can go to one or both of those. Brother is going to Edinburgh to be a consultant sometime in the summer and was talking about combining with a long overdue Scotland visit. Cousins are flexible although would love to show them Scotland as they've never been out of the US.

Have a safe and uneventful trip..may you sleep through most of it, Annie. How many stops will you have? Layovers?

Thanks, Nona! :) We fly direct to Amsterdam. 2 hour layover then about 1 1/2 hours to Glasgow. I slept on the way here but only because I had two seats to myself and leaned against the window. Otherwise I can only get good sleep in business class which we are rarely in. We are in economy plus which has more legroom, but I doubt I'll sleep.
 
It's almost "welcome home" time, Ameriscot. Bet you'll be glad to sleep in your own bed:)

The pork and BBQ sauce are in the crockpot. Now that that's out of the way, I'm going to make some mini Reese's peanut butter cheesecakes today. I've read the recipe. Assembled the ingredients. Now waiting for the cream cheese, butter and eggs to come to room temperature.

Tomorrow *we* are going to make mini caramel apple strudel cheesecakes and maybe mini brandied cranberry cheesecakes.

Nona, the yard sale is pretty much up in the air...pun intended...everybody in the neighborhood really, really just wants it over and done with. The mini cheesecakes are to try to sell at the yard sale. If it's postponed again, no problem because they can be frozen.

Wish me luck with the mini cheesecakes and all of us in the neighborhood luck with Saturday's weather.
 
Thanks Georgia. Sitting in Amsterdam Airport now awaiting next flight. Very tired. 6 am here but my body says it's midnight. 7am at home. It will be late morning when we get home.

Oldman, that sounds like a scary flight.
 
Good Morning all..

Set to be a warm sunny day here today..but I won't see much of it from the inner workings of the Pitface.

Annie you should be nearly home now after all your wanderings, I don't know how you do it, Just half of that itinerary would see me off!!

I do wish you luck Georgia with both the mini cheesecakes and the weather for Saturday...hope it all goes better than anticipated..
 
We have just arrived home from going to a field day ,which is held every two years .. About 20 km from us ...It's mainly for cereal farmers, with all sorts of machinery on display , but also has plenty other stalls to attract the general public ( we bought bees wax leather preserving boot/ any thing leather polish ) and a couple of rubber bristle brooms you can use for anything from washing/ scrubbing cars to window washing and a 1.5 kg tub of creamed honey direct from the growers ( hubby loves it on fresh bread ) Spent about 5 hours there looking at clothes , caravans , skin care cooking displays heaps to do but leg weary now so about to watch judge July

Second update: I spoke with the secretary yesterday and she was doing OK. She said that she was unable to fall asleep at first, so she took an Ambien and slept like a baby after that. She felt much better after she ate her lunch.
 
If it's Thursday, it must be raining! And it is. In addition, we've gone from Monday's forecast of no rain on Saturday to today's forecast of a 60% chance of rain on Saturday. Why is that not a surprise? Looks like the yard sale will have to be postponed yet again.

I'm going to crawl into a hole and pull the hole in after me:mad:
 
This will come as a surprise, I know: it's raining. The 60% chance of rain tomorrow is now 80%. Our HOA president doesn't want to postpone the yard sale scheduled for tomorrow because he wants "to be done with it". What's the use of having it if none of the residents in the neighborhood are going to participate? Hello? We ALL want to be done with it!

Ameriscot, are you back to your normal self now? Ready for a 50-mile bike ride?
 
Morning Georgia, I wish we had some of that rain here. Nothing much on my agenda today, I may clean out the garage if I get really energetic.

Everyone have a great Friday.
 
Mornin' all...(6.30am)

Georgia...it's been Glorious here all week...but as from Monday we're forecast to get heavy rain all week,:rain: so you might get some respite ..

off to work soon..I know I've got a really hard day ahead, so I'm trying to mentally prepare myself...*breathe*, *stretch*, - *breathe* *stretch*...now the other leg.... and *breath*..... :giggle:

Have a good day folks...see you when you're older.. :D
 
Good morning. Hiya Holly. :) Back to normal, non-indulgent eating and NO beer. Plan to finish unpacking and will try to do a workout.
 
The President of the company that I fly for wanted me to fly him up to Massachusetts today and stay over until Monday. I told him that it would not be a desirable weekend for flying such a small plane, but if he wanted to go, I would take him. So, I am flying him, his wife and adult daughter up for the weekend. We leave at noon. We have heavy rains, so of course, we also have a very low ceiling. It's going to be bumpy, very bumpy.
 
Good luck with that bumpy trip, Oldman. I'm a white-knuckle flier so I'd be staying put! Actually, I used to be a white-knuckle flier; I don't fly anymore.

Hollydolly, I hope you enjoyed your sunny week...it's raining again, of course, and there are flood watches everydamnwhere around us. Now we're being told that there might be sun again by midweek.

Jackie...still want some of our rain? There are times when I wish I still lived in the desert. Times like this past week and a half!

Ameriscot, it sounds like you're getting back to your regular self...just in time to start packing again! LOL
 
Morning Georgia and all.....Yes I want some of your rain, I'm having to water the yard every day here, but it has cooled down, so that helps.

Got to help with the grandkids today, may sneak a movie in.
 
Oldman, have a safe flight! Hope you can avoid the storm.

Georgia, need to get my butt back into my capris before I pack again! :D

Enjoy your day, Jackie.
 
Unpacking, unpacking and unpacking. The "neighbors from hell" welcomed us home last night with a raucous party well into the early a.m. According to another neighbor, it's been an almost weekly event all summer and complaints to the association office have fallen on deaf ears. Next week I'm inviting the police. It's not only annoying, it's dangerous as there were 17 attendee's cars parked in our little t-shaped neighborhood of 12 homes. Neither one of us could have gotten our cars out in an emergency. I wish we could sell this house but the market is still bad here.
 
Not a lot worse than neighbours who are so self centred it matter not what annoyance they cause to others particularity in a small avenue where everything is magnified a hundred times...good on you Jujube, if the HA won't listen then get the ferkin police involved..

Another gloriously sunny and warm day here. Just comfortable not hot, but nice under the sun in the garden.

I can't go anywhere tho'..13 hours of solid hard work without a break yesterday, has left my back absolutely wasted today, so first thing on the agenda this morning was PK's and an hour with the hot bottle behind my back!!

Poor hubs has a cold...I mean he has a COLD, a real sniffing, coughing sore head cold......I hope you're all listening because this is seeeerious, he has a Cold, he's dying...he's the most wounded suffering person in all of history.

I can barely walk with this double herniated disc resting on my sciatic nerve , , ...but ppffffft...that's nothing...he has a Cold I tell ya , and he needs every doctor, nurse , hospital and his long dead mother to be on high alert!! He's been in bed for the last 24 hours..dragging himself down every hour or 2 just to let me know he still is suffering..poor soul .. ...MEN!!! Sheesh!! :hit:
