Good Morning Everyone!

Ahh!  Home Sweet Home!

Picture

How wonderful that we can "shelter in place" in our own homes.  Wouldn't it be nice if we could get out without worrying so much about becoming infected?  

As we know this disease is especially dangerous at our age.  Although masks are not bulletproof they can "dampen" the spread of the virus.  If you live in a state requiring  masks, going to the store is much less dangerous. Proven effective, those states will reopen sooner, safer and survive the wait for an effective vaccine.

States without mask mandates (affecting our members) are;  Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Florida.  What's the holdup????  Speaking of states without mask mandates;  With all the scientific evidence regarding the efficacy of masking why wouldn't all states require them???  Go figure!

Good Morning Everyone!

Pushing the pause button on bikes!

Picture

​
​Joan and I finally sold our electric bikes.  It was a tough decision but the more we thought about biking the less we thought about it.  

At some point we needed to recognize we're getting a bit 'mature' for the biking scene.  Falling off a bike at our age brings a host of things we would rather not participate in. Like the flashing red lights of an ambulance, crash carts and folks all around saying "you'll be just fine".  I'd rather just walk (which, by the way, is really good for us)  

Anyway, they were 5 years old and we recovered 50% of the original cost.  Not bad.  

Here we go!

Howdy Everyone!!!

Are Ya Hot yet??


Picture
Plenty of heat already here and more coming.  Did you know that an F4 tornado came within 5 miles of ruining Kenny & Pat Chermak's day?  I caught it on the news early and immediately sent a text to Ken.  He later told me how close it came to their home.  Whew!  If it's not one thing it's another! 

The weather is great if you've got a place to go swimming or boating.  Remember to keep an eye to the sky.  These storms spin up with little or no notice whatsoever!  Also remember to reduce your shopping trips and ALWAYS WEAR A MASK IN PUBLIC!!!  Can't emphasize that enough.  The time is soon coming when we will universally be asked to wear masks in public.  If I were running the country we would already be wearing them!  fer sure!

Are you teching up for our first club Zoom meeting Aug 5th?  Let me know if you need a little help.

Our FULL CLUB ZOOM RALLY was really FUN!

18 invitations and 7 showed up.  Ok, OK . . .  it could have been better!  Baby Steps!
Here were the attendees;  Tom Westover, Skip Wallen, Bob Kattner, Bob Warrens, Vick Schiegg, Dick Burns and myself.  

We had fun seeing each other for the first time in a long time.  For some of us YEARS!  Westie is looking more like Bethoven each day as his hair continues to grow.  If he would just plant his face down in flour he could close the deal!  Bob Kattner showed up with a cap that came complete with hair.  ("you should have left that hat on Bob"!)  
                                        I, of course, looked great!!!  
 
                                                           (I also get to write the narrative)


The subject covered was "who is planning to attend the 60th class reunion".  ​Tom decided (as he earlier mentioned) that he and Ginny will not attend.  Everyone else plans to take a wait and see attitude.  Lots can happen in the next 60 days.  

We will hold another Zoom meeting on Wednesday Aug 5th.  I'll post plenty of reminders.  You can access the meeting on your desktop computer, laptop, iPad, tablet or cell phone.  Hopefully your device will have a built in camera and speaker system so we can see and hear
you.  Invitations will be sent out on the Aug 3 Turntable.  Hope you all can make it . . . It will be fun!

That's a wrap!
