OK, enough.

Give me some good news!

I'll start.

Cumberland Island is open!

The days are longer and boating is starting to open up a bit.

They came and cleaned Sonas today and she looks great!

They may have found a way to stop malaria! https://www.bbc.com/news/health-52530828
 
After a couple gnarly temperate rainforest bushwhacks (have the bruises on my shins from forcing through the thicker stuff to prove it) and failing to reach a subalpine lake near town, my daughter and I lucked into a game trail following a small creek that looks like it might take us there easy-peasy (ish) on our next attempt :thumb:

For those who have followed my thread about chemo....

3 down, 3 to go.
 
Good news Mike. "Keep the faith", and good luck.
 
Washington State fishing is now OPEN!!!
 
Some Florida restaurants are open with 25% seating and social distancing required. Stopped at Titusville, FL to see my buddy and do a short grocery run. Went out to dinner at an upscale burger restaurant. It was really weird. Visualize cooking a burger on the grill, except somebody else does it. There were all kinds of choices, can you imagine. Afterward, somebody took the dishes and washed them! I could really get use to this concept. :thumb:

You and I met in Stockton, CA a few years back. I’m personally invested! I think about you every day. Be tough!
 
Greetings,
Mr. m. Good news? Well, the forecast for Saturday is less than 1/2" of snow...

Wifey B: Better news. Saturday forecast here, 80 degrees, 12 mph breeze, and seas 2' at 6 seconds, most of which is swells. Great boating conditions. :D:D
 
Greetings,
Mr. GFC.

How are you feeling?
I feel 100% most days. On the 4th and 5th days following a treatment I'm just not worth a damn. (My wife would say that extends to 30 days a month). Then that wears off and I'm back to normal. The "downer" days are tough. All I can do is lay on the couch covered with a blanket.

When I come out of it I'm 100% and that feels great.

Heck yeah I remember that. It was when I helped Stuart take his boat from Seattle down to Stockton. I also remember breaking the "finish line" you guys had stretched across the opening to the slip. What a great welcome after a long trip.

This video will take awhile to load but when it comes up you might get a kick out of it.
