I just got back from 5 days on the road with my 80+ year old parents. We went to Cleveland for a wedding...

The one day I had my sister in the car, I had 3 backseat drivers... It was all I could do to remember the Madagascar penguins... 'smile and wave, boys, smile and wave'....


Not doing that again.... Mom would be all whiny when she couldn't have her McDouble and mocha frappe... I told her that crap was bad for her. Her response was 'I'm 84 years old, I can have what I want... it's only 500 calories'... yeah 500 calories of sugar and fat....

I'm glad they are still around, but I think this is probably the last road trip they need to be doing. Mom wouldn't have got out of the car, if I hadn't stopped every couple of hours for potty stops and to make them walk some...

This afternoon, I'm off to LA for three days... I return Thursday about midnight....

He was walking on folks and wouldn't let them on the channel. I warned everyone I was going to transmit in CW and told them to clear the channel for 5 minutes. I keyed up the radio while I was standing in the door of the shelter. I saw a semi scream to a stop on the side of the road and a guy bail out, with smoke rolling out of the cab. No more problems on that channel...
Years ago when CB radios was the in thing. I had one with a 300 watt amp in my one truck. Had a roll bar in the bed with 2 KC Highlighter lights on it and a short whip mounted between the lights. With the lights off, the amp on. I would key the mike and the lights would glow.

Your mom is 84. Enjoy her. Life is short enough as is. My mom was 88 when she past. She drove me up a wall. But I loved her.

I know. It will break my heart when they're gone...


Part of my challenge over the last few days is that my younger two sisters are completely clueless when it comes to our parents' health. When my sister that's two years younger than me & I try to point out to the other two the health issues, they say 'well, they can't be that bad'.... or 'you're exaggerating'

Yet, they will be the two that come in, throw the sister that lives there out and sell the house and contents and keep the money.....

We had a problem with our gun system and a system mechanic was working on it in the turret. I was standing over it as he kept mashing the range only radar button to activate. Then he says "oh, the radar isnt working properly. Must be a broken radar guide tube".. 90degree price of tubing that guided the radiation waves. It had a hairline fracture. I look down, right in front of my nuts, the radar guide tube... no wonder I dont have kids..

It really has.. I transferred here from the bay area 15 yrs ago, and it's worse. Down town, you think it was an open air flea market. I've seen 3 homeless pooping in the open in the past 2 months alone...orange county isnt as bad, but getting there.
