I’m BAAACCCCKKKKK… Home safe and more or less sound at my home computer as the house warms up (had the heat down to 62F). I was wrong about the weather in Eastern Kansas, it was wet and sloppy and right at the freezing mark and while I maintained a good speed and there were no incidents that I saw, it wasn’t the greatest drive ever. Then my flight out of Kansas City was late and I only had 40 minutes to connect in Charlotte so of course the flights were about as far apart as you could get them (from Gate A8 to Gate E43 if you’re curious). Dot some power-walking in and made it with time to spare, but didn’t get the meal I was hoping for there, so stopped at Culver’s on the way home and have just assimilated a Double Butter-Burger with Fries, so all is well with the world. Still have to unpack but that is something I can do later. 48F here so after 2 days of wintry weather, nice to be back for a Ali-bama winter.
IIRC, there are sites/people who do that deliberately, just for the fun of it. Hopefully BobB can find what he needs.
JtC, glad you are having fun with the relatives, but Grand Canyon to Meteor Crater is a bit of a haul, IIRC; hope it works for you. And I enjoyed the Flagstaff Observatory too.
FCM, pools tables ain’t cheap; does he (and for that matter, you) enjoy playing or is it just something to fill the space nicely?
flyboy, hope they can get you a second key, know what it feels like to be dependent on just one. Enjoy the improved bike.
Van Go, that’s a long drive (been there, have the aching back to prove it). And yeah, watching folks grow old is always a reminder that one day, we will too. At least they seem to be doing well.
Oopsie, I’ll hopefully be back at my gym tomorrow, will be interested in seeing how many people are there. And best wishes to Wife’s BFF. And 
to the credit card thieves, need to check on mine tonight or tomorrow since I had some charges out in the wilds of Kansas.
Haven’t been in an IHOP or a Denny’s in many months, just never a good reason to go there.When I want pancakes there are two other places that are great and when I want sit-down food I have a half-dozen spots I prefer over them.
Cookie, I feel sorry for someone losing it, hope she can get placed somewhere that will be more beneficial for her.
I’m so happy that I can talk to you folks again instead of just posting what I am doing. No plans to be going anywhere soon so I’ll hopefully be good company here for quite some time.
