It’s Official . . .
Since Jan’s sore throat wasn’t too much better this morning, she made a doctor’s appointment for 10 AM, and $300 later, we found out she has
wait for it . . .

“THE CRUD”
Yes, it cost $300 to find out Jan has a bad cold.
After dropping the prescriptions off at Sam’s Club, we headed over to The Egg & I to have breakfast at one of our favorite places. One thing we like is that they have a number of favored coffees available, including a great Toasted Hazelnut.
Jan always orders the Blueberry Pancake. Yes, I said Pancake, not Pancakes.
This is why.
It covers 3/4 of the plate!
And they also make the bacon just like she likes it.
She calls it ‘Glass Bacon”. Because it shatters when you touch it.
Leaving breakfast we drove over to a client’s office to check out closing the books for the end of the year. Then it was on back to Sam’s for the prescriptions.
After that it was back to the rig for the day. And the night.
We had originally planned to get together with some friends for New Year’s Eve, but with Jan still under the weather we’ll stay in tonight.

Failure is not an option!

No Better, But No Worse . . .

Brandi sent over this photo of the final wrap-up of Landon’s Christmas. Originally Lowell, Brandi, and Landon were going up to see Lowell’s parents in Oklahoma the day after Christmas, and Santa had left Landon’s Hug Me Elmo there waiting for him. But plans changed so Grannie and Papa sent it down here to him
Looks like they’re going to be inseparable.
And while I’m on family photos, here’s one of Zoe Nadeau, our daughter Brandi’s husband Lowell’s sister’s daughter’s daughter.
Hope you got that. There’ll be a short quiz afterwards.

Jan’s still under the weather, but not really worse. She still has the sore throat, but it doesn’t seem to have gone any further yet. But just to be sure, if her throat isn’t any better by tomorrow, I’ll take her to the Dr. to have it checked out.
About 3 PM I headed out for some Chloraseptic Throat Spray from Kroger’s and a big batch of Chicken Tortilla Soup from Monterey’s Little Mexico.
Chicken Soup is good for a cold, right? Even if it does have tortilla strips and jalapenos in it, too?
Jan says the Chloraseptic Spray seems to help so we’ll see about tomorrow.
The temp never got out of the 40’s today, with 30’s set for tonight. And it looks like it will stay that way for the next week or so.
Later this afternoon Jan and I were watching one of those Mega RV Shows and saw this one.
It’s called the Decoliner, and has been described as what Flash Gordon uses on his vacations.
Although it looks like it was built in the 30’s, it’s a recent Randy Grubb creation. Handcrafted from aluminum, and built on a 1973 GMC Motorhome chassis, combined with a 1950 White Truck cab, it has that full-on Art Deco look.

And, yes, it can be driven from inside the cab, or from the flying bridge up top.

Here’s a short video that explains more about it, including how the remote steering works. Sure wouldn’t want to be driving it up top and hit a bump and that telescoping link come loose.
And it can be yours for only $500,000.
Got some good news from Amazon on the Kindle Paperwhite I recently ordered. Originally they said I would not receive it until the week of Jan 6-10. But now it should be here Saturday the 4th.
And it’s now shown up in my Kindle device list on Amazon so I can already send books to it, even before I receive it. Neat!

There is no power the state will not abuse.
