Sorry to hear Hannah is stuck another night but I'm guessing it's for the best.

Morning


Sad to hear about Nancy Ragan's death. She was a strong woman. She had a good life with President Ronald Ragan.


Going to be a nice day out there today. Got to get things done around the house.

I watched a few laps of the race here and there yesterday. Glad to see the Ford's put up a good run.

Good evening everyone!

Must have been awhile Brian, don't remember you posting since I moved to Connecticut in '12.

Hannah came home today, and for the first time in four years she's not on a ventilator at night. If all goes well she could lose the trach this summer. Pretty excited about that, but less so the hospital time to make that happen.

It's definitely been a long time, Brian. It's not quite as active as it once was in here. Hope you're doing well. Still driving the I6?

Evening guys, I've been enjoying being back at work full time. Yesterday we tore down the face of a brick fireplace that was pretty much falling over on it's own and removed the hearth and concrete pad, pinned rebar into the foundation and poured the new pad for the hearth and today the new face went up. Arm felt pretty good the whole day, used a hoe to mix mortar, it's slower than a shovel and slower but at least it's gonna help save my body a bit!

Heard it's supposed to be nice and warm tomorrow!
