Still Hot . . .
We were dismayed to find out this morning that our good friend’s Debi and Ed Hurlburt have both been diagnosed with CoVid. We just saw them a couple of weeks ago and they mentioned that they had just gotten their first shot, and were supposed to get the second one tomorrow. But that’s on hold now until they’re better and test negative.
But they’re now supposed to be treated with the Monoclonal Antibodies, so hopefully they’ll be feeling better soon.
Get Well Soon, guys. Our prayers are with you.
Everyone should now be getting the blog by email again. So I hope the problem’s fixed.
I finished up the last two pieces of my Super Hot Cookshack chicken tenders for dinner this evening, and though they were still very hot, they were not as hot as they were originally.
And sometime soon we’ll go back to The Cookshack so I can try the AMF version two levels hotter than what I had the other day. So we’ll see how that goes.
I mentioned the problem that I was having with our USPS Click N Ship program. I finally got an email from PO Tech Support giving me a list of ‘useless’ things to try, all of them supposing that the problem was on my end, not theirs.
Sorry, but when their system won’t accept the reset password they send me, giving me a weird Error Message that the Tech Support lady didn’t recognize or find in her system.
Yeah, right. It’s my problem.
So before I did anything else, I once again tried to log in using the last temporary password they sent me yesterday. And what’da you know, it now worked perfectly.
Yeah, right. It was my problem.
Looks like the Wings Over Houston airshow is back on for this year. And I’m lucky because Jan being a Air Force brat, she loves the airshows as much as I do.
Set for October 9 and 10th, it’s going to have the USAF Thunderbirds, the Canadian Snowbirds, and a lot more.
Up until we started RV’ing in 2008 we used to go pretty much every year, but since we normally didn’t get home until around Thanksgiving every year, we missed a lot of them.
So we’re really looking forward to this one.

A Neon Addition . . .
A number of our readers have noticed that they’re not receiving the blog via email. The problem is with the Jetpack WordPress Plug-in. I think I got a bad update download, so I’ve been trying to get a new copy installed and set up. The only problem is that I can’t tell if the email problem is actually fixed until I post a blog. Which is once a day, so it’s kind of hard to test it out. But hopefully it’s working now.
Well I had hoped I was done with the Post Office until tomorrow, but I got a call from work today with another Post Office crisis. So Jan and I headed into Webster about 12:30 to try and sort things out before we had lunch.
I put in another call to the P.O. Tech Support, but went round and round until I finally asked to be bumped up to the next level of Tech Support, so I was given a Service Request# and told to wait for them to contact me.
I’m still waiting.
So while we were waiting, we had lunch at Twin Peaks once again. And once again, Jan got her Spicy Chipotle Chicken and a cup of Tomato Basil Soup.
And since they recently discontinued my fav Venison Chili and Half Wedge Salad, I once again got the Soup and Half-Sandwich Lunch Special, with a bowl of the Green Chili Chicken Soup and a half BLT sandwich.
Then it was back over to work to see if the PO had any new ideas, but no luck. So I did try a couple of things myself, also with no luck.
Back at it tomorrow, I guess.
A recent University of Michigan study of over 5800 foods rates them according to how much time they add or substract from your life expectancy.
For example, the study says that eating 1 hot dog takes 35 minutes off life, but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were associated with an increase of 33 minutes. And a serving of nuts adds about 20 minutes.
So I could have a hot dog and 2 servings of nuts, and come out 5 minutes ahead. Or maybe just two PB&J’s and come out even better.
A new addition to the Flamboyance.
