Welcome! Come on in for coffee & friends. Maybe a quick breakfast sandwich? OK!

I have time for one more coffee before I head north. Things got rescheduled a bit. I'll be leaving on Monday & back.... someday! Someone will be here at the house if you have a need.

For those of you that are over 62 and near a national park.... Lifetime passes are going from $10 to $80 on the 28th of this month. Linda & I went to Acadia National Park this week and got ours. If you can.... make it so!

Hope you all have a smooth August. Hug your loved ones & onward we go!

Can't make it today but good note about the cost of passes going up.

Over 62 though....man, I never thought I live to see that when I was younger...

I still probably won't see it with the wild life style that us coal burners live.

Good Morning all!! Kinda of a rainy day in the Southern Anthricite Coal region today. Like it was yesterday, and the day before but I digress. Thanks for the coffee. Needed that this AM. The wet weather has my arthritis kicked up.

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers please. I have been sending out resumes to churches that advertise about needing a Pastor. Before my wife died last November, she made me promise I would get back into ministry. I stepped down from my church to take care of her and she didn't like that. Anyway I've got resumes out to Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. Notice a southern theme here?

Time to get back to my roots. Going south. :D

If you know of any churches in those states that are looking, please send me a PM with the information.

Morning all and always a thank you for the coffee Freddy :) , not much going on this weekend although we are having some friends over today for drinks and dinner.
Tomorrow we are going the the cemetery to visit my fathers grave as the headstone was just installed a few weeks ago( I found out from my Aunt that it was finished as the stone company never said a word :no1: ) and visit the rest of passed family members. Stay safe and enjoy the time at North camp Freddy it sounds nice!!

Afternoon all,

I had to miss the morning java as I had to hurry off early to go try out another car today. Well, the decision has been made, my wife and I purchased a new to us car. We will go pick it up on Monday. We had tried soo many different vehicles over the past five months. So, we decided to purchase a BMW Z4 3.0i cabriolet. We wanted an all wheel drive to replace our aging Audi, however, we could not find one that fit what wanted or they were sold before we were able to purchase it.

I can not stay long today as my wife and I are off to see a concert with a good friend of ours. It will be a good time.

The 507's are still running keeping the house and shop dry. I just unloaded a ton of rice coal for my parents with another ton being delivered for next Saturday. I need to get off of my back side and get some coal for winter. Anyway, enjoy the pics of the car.

Remember we are now officially roaring towards our first frost and snow fall.

The snowman.
