True, but back in the day the image/illusion was enough. She was a "good girl" that made it to the top. Wish we had more examples like her for our daughters to admire these days.I am saddened to read of Olivia Newton-John's passing.
I'm not sure that I can relate to most celebrity types. They live in a very different world than us mere mortals. Well, they have that illusion in many cases. I prefer the real world.
I was wondering about Marilyn and Gladys Knight a while back. I suppose both are old ladies now, I didn't look, but they sure did a great job in their prime.Linda Ronstadt is a heall of a talent, no doubt. Karen Carpenter really was a tragedy, and I agree, probably one of the best singing voices in history, her and Marilyn McCoo of the Fifth Dimension.
Good for you Dale!!!!! Have fun and I hope you catch a boat load!It looks like I get to go salmon fishing for the first time in over a year of caring for my invalid wife.
A buddy called and invited to go fish the mouth or the Rogue River Friday.
The fall chinook are holing up in the mouth because the river temp is too warm for them to continue upstream.
The Grand daughter is staying with my wife.
I am pretty stoked.
Ha! Sounds like you caught whatever I've been suffering from for 40 years! It's always the way though, little things become bigger things, become projects, become unbelievable messes! I think most guys get the same run of luck on a daily basis. If they don't, it's because they don't DO anything!Oh the darned wood splitter project. I use an old enameled refrigerator drawer to cover up the Honda motor. Pulled the cover and there was a Garter snake. Before I could grab it it slithered into the engine. I got a flash light, necessitating a trip up the hill to the house. Can't find the snake! Took off the rewind, there the little bassturd is. Oops, slithered back out of sight. Grrrrrr! Took off the shroud, there he is, no no no, not into the back of the fly wheel. Okay, pull the motor off the splitter and shake it until a loop of snake dangles down. Got it, pulled it out and threw it in the pasture.
Re-install the motor, put the shroud on and the rewind, start the motor. Wait, what? Running way too fast, where's my idle. Pull the shroud back off. I had trapped a throttle return spring. Corrected that and the motor ran right. Drained the hydro oil, pumped out the lines, replaced the filter, refilled hydo oil. There, now it runs right. Now the tires. Pulled the wheels off, well I woulda if one wasn't rusted onto the hub. BFH and a few whacks got that off.
Now yesterday the low tire pressure light came on for my truck. The truck with the almost brand new tires! Yup, a construction screw dead center in the tread. Aaaarrrggghhh! Okay, fine, went to town got two used 13" tires for the splitter and took the wheel and tire off the truck to get plugged. Man, if these 285/20 wheels and tires get any heavier, I won't be able to wrassle them into a vehicle. Okay, tire plugged, splitter tires installed, go to load the big truck wheel/tire into Sue's Escape and the rim flipped up and the edge of the rim hit my arm bone just below my right elbow. Criminy, that hurt. Oh poop, my arm went into pain from the wrist to the shoulder.
Back home, wheel back on truck, wheels back on splitter. Still have some work on the splitter tomorrow, as I have a small piece that attaches to the lever to fabricate. Screw it, we are going for a bike ride. 61 miles later, Supper time. Supper over, bourbon time.Tomorrow's another day.
Cooled off here overnight. Supposed to be a good week of nice weather, well nice haying weather anyway. Should be moving your way.Another oppressively hot one today. Not gonna break till Thursday. So not allot outside! Hear index's are well into the low 100's.
Its nearly 80 here @ first light.
I did cast for about two hours yesterday but it was short as it was 99 again yesterday.

You and yours will remain in my thoughts and prayers Dale. Hard thing to go through, but she won't be alone or with strangers. That's counts for a whole lot in my book.We made the last trip to my Wifes cardiologist yesterday.
He says no need to come back as the only treatment for her heart issues are too invasive for her.
He told her to take nitro if she gets chest pain.
She has decided to forgo any more treatment for her incurable tumor as the side effects would do more harm than good.
We will keep her happy as we can and pain free.
I asked the Dr when hospice would be appropriate.
He says when she can no longer leave home and do the things she enjoys.
I will see that she never goes to a rest home.
We have already had one bad experience with one.
We have had 60 good years together.
I'm sorry to hear that, Dale. Sounds as though the two of you have had a great life together and you're both lucky to have each other.We made the last trip to my Wifes cardiologist yesterday.

I keep two kits and extra strips on hand for what, non critical tires? I drove on plugged tires at speed on squad cars and trust plugs installed by people that have installed hundreds of them. My nearest neighbor has an "architectural wood" salvage business. Mostly. tearing down old dairy barns and log buildings. Our small road is festooned with nails and screws and other small sharp debris.Ha! Sounds like you caught whatever I've been suffering from for 40 years!

Tire plugging kits are available even at Wally World and it's not at all hard to do.
Very true. Beautiful lady.True, but back in the day the image/illusion was enough. She was a "good girl" that made it to the top. Wish we had more examples like her for our daughters to admire these days.

Dale my heart goes out to you. 21 months ago I lost my wife of 51 years after a struggle with cancer. You both have my prayers.We made the last trip to my Wifes cardiologist yesterday.
