It’s busy down on the bay today. The SURPRISE has returned to her dock after
dry-docking. And while I was jumping up
and down in the pool this morning, the USS REAGAN returned from a year long
overhaul in Bremerton WA. I was thinking
I could run by the SURPRISE and stop by the San SAN SALVADOR while I was out in
the world. Maybe I could see the REAGAN
too.
You should have heard me talking to myself as I came
upstairs this morning. A regular
dialogue. Cheering myself on this day
off.
”Yes it’s grey, but it’s not going to rain. You probably have missed the REAGAN but you
haven’t missed the other two. No, you
are not sitting upstairs on the computer all day. Yes too, you are not reading all day.”
Yes three, Mid-morning, the Geezer and I are heading to our
CPA’s office to sign things and pick up the taxes. That’s very important.
Yes, Canal-book wise, I have gotten through the details of
the fabled French failure at Panama. I’m
a few pages into the TR era now.
Skimming the index, I didn’t see any mention of the firm, Cutler
Hammer. They were the company that did
the lock controls. Of course my cousins
and I would like to have had Cutler Hammer and our Gimpa mentioned…even in
passing. Then again, I hadn’t remembered
the book being so heavy in detail the first time I read it.
Yes five, the insurance company must have said yes as I have
been knee deep in hip doctor’s this morning.
I go in after the four days at Comic Con July 25 for the surgery. The first preop is July one, the second July
8.
We have progress if not liftoff.
We're speaking of knee surgery--no, I think it's the hip, correct? Hubby just had a little shoulder do. They took off a bone spur. I'm sure replacement is much harder, but I think it'll be worth it in the long run!
ReplyDeleteKnee or hip, I'll probably be a candidate one of these days. I want to hear all about it, and I'll be pulling for your speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteGlad the medical stuff is falling into place....and the taxes have been filed.....
ReplyDeleteI am 3/4 through my book on FDR...Fear Iself. Very much about the politics behind the New Deal and WWII. What is the title of your book on Panama+ TR?
ReplyDeleteWorried about you when you didn't show up yesterday. Has your surgery been scheduled? Dianne
