Thanks for checking in and it's great to hear you came through it safely. It sounds like a very scary experience! Smart move getting out and going on a cruise. Bon Voyage!

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Not a mud pack person, I don't know a vegetarian to hug, and translation professionals are important. Also a salute to Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Day I like the quote. I'll pass on the meal (fish), and like the drink and wine. I've been to Greece, but haven't been to Nafplion. I was off to Quest for lab work this morning, and a couple of other errands. It's cloudy here and we'll start to get some rain tonight from Ian. Thinking of all in the Carolinas who are in the path of the storm, and those devastated in Florida with so much damage. @rafinmd Thanks for our lists. Glad to hear your niece and her family were ok. @HAL4NOW I'm glad you made it safely back to Skykomish and that the evacuation level was lowered. @marshhawk I agree about knowing health history; that's all I was concerned about with adoption. So I've tried to do all the preventive tests, as I have no clue about cancer, diabetes, etc history. @kazu Good to hear you can do the stairs more easily; that's a challenge for me. @mamaofami Happy Birthday to Jared! @StLouisCruisers Awww, cute picture of the sibling pups. @Cruzin Terri Prayers for safety and that you get to your trip. @superoma I'm glad to hear your friend and her family are ok. @dfish Good news about your niece's house. @Horizon chaser 1957 Bon Voyage tomorrow! @Seasick Sailor I hope your sister recovers quickly. @Quartzsite Cruiser Thanks for the photos of Nafplion. @HAL Sailer Glad the friends are safe, and wow on that photo. @Cruising-along Great that your friend is ok. Nice photos from Nafplion. @Vict0riann Good going on the new cruise. I hope you and Pat are feeling better. @MISTER 67 and @jimgev hope all is well with you. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for the Celebration List. Stay safe everyone.

Good point. When I moved into this house (having had forced air in my first house) and put in a programmable thermostat, I learned the heat went up about 1 degree an hour. So I couldn't set it as low at night or while at work, and had to figure in the time it took to get to the desired temperature.

The plumber opens the boiler and looks at internal stuff. They look for corrosion, clean in there, look at the pilot, check the flames (color and strength), check the thermocouple (although they say it can look ok, then fail the next day), check the flue. Do you have radiators? The only thing I do is bleed them each year to get any air out of the system and keep the heat distribution even. I start on the first floor at the one furthest from the boiler, then move around toward where the boiler is in the basement. Then I repeat on my 2nd and 3rd floors. My radiators have a bleed valve that uses a key (still available at hardware stores); newer ones may have a slot that a flathead screwdriver can be used on.

@dfish Sorry you have that gap from moving out of your house to moving in the new one. I have a rubber roof on my back porch roof. It was originally a tin roof, and I had a rubber roof put over that. It's been there over 20 years and no issues. I also have a boiler and hot water heat. I have my plumber come out to service it yearly. It's gas powered and has been reliable except for the occasional thermocouple failure (that seems to always happen on a holiday in winter!). Good that your BIL can be there to supervise.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. A salute to Maritime Day, Broadway and Confucius. It's also National Coffee Day! I love my coffee. True quote. I like the meal, pass on the drink, and I like the wine but it's too pricey for me. I haven't been to Majuro. I had an Ophthalmology appointment this AM. Everything looks good per the doctor, so I just keep on with all the drops and meds. I'd planned to get bloodwork done after, but forgot and ate some toast this morning, so now I need to go tomorrow. The temp went down to the mid-40's overnight, and the house was around 62 when I woke up. It's now 57F outside. I've held off so turning on the heat so far, but it's tempting! @kazu Oh my on flurries this weekend! @dfish Thanks for the recipes. @summer slope Sorry about your mango tree, but glad that's the only damage. @*Miss G* Good to hear you made it to Manchester. @Quartzsite Cruiser Thanks for the Majuro photos. @Cruzin Terri Prayers for safety and that your house gets no water. I hope you get to Barbados. @StLouisCruisers DD's tree is great! @cunnorl I'm glad you're ok so far. Stay safe. @ottahand7 I overpronate and just bought some Saucony running shoes from their online site, on sale. I also put orthotics in them. @smitty34877 I'm glad you're all feeling ok and pray for negative tests tomorrow. @Heartgrove I've sailed on the Golden Princess in the Caribbean and to Hawaii; it was a nice ship. Good to hear that the cortisone shots helped Sue and the hyaluronic shots for you. I'm going mid-October to see about the HA shot, since the steroids no longer seem to help me. @mamaofami Oh no on shingles for Sam; did he get antiviral meds to lessen it? Shingles are contagious until the vesicles crust over. I hope the new aide is a good one. Prayers for your DD with the concussion. @Cat in my lap I can imagine you're anxious to get home to see how things are. @HAL4NOW Safe travels home to Skykomish. I hope there is some rain to help the situation. @HAL Sailer Great news about the family home. @MISTER 67 Thinking of you. @bennybear Nice photos. @Vict0riann Don't overdue; I hear the fatigue can go on a while. Prayers for the Care List and all those in the path of storms. Cheers for the Celebration List. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Such a sad story. Prayers for him, his wife and family.

@dfish Karma indeed! You get the last laugh on that first seller. @grapau27 Sorry to hear you have those lesions that will need to be cut out. Prayers for the best outcome. @MISTER 67 I'm seeing video from Ft. Myers on The Weather Channel and even a camera at 6ft up is nearly underwater! Hard to fathom what it's like there. @Vict0riann Thanks for the photos.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. All good days. I like beer on occasion, a salute to good neighbors and public lands. Great quote. Maybe on the meal, without miso. Pass on the drink. I'll take the red wine. I haven't been to Nha Trang. Thanks for the photos @StLouisCruisers Brrr. It was 45 this AM; I was toasty under the covers. I'll have to bring some plants in soon. Only up to 57 today when normal is 70 at this time of year. Otherwise, nothing new except it's injection day. Prayers for all in the path of Ian to stay safe. @MISTER 67 @RedneckBob @jimgev and all Floridians at risk, stay safe! @smitty34877 Prayers for you, Tana and the family that there's no Covid; you all don't need anything else to deal with again. @dfish Congrats on the house! 🍾🍷 Thanks for sharing the photos of it. Love the kitchen! @kazu Safe travels to your session, and good luck making your final decision about the cruise. @Cruzin Terri Praying everything works out for you. @Quartzsite Cruiser Thanks for sharing DH's great Jupiter photo! @Lady Hudson Congrats to your nephew! I hope your friends recover quickly, especially the hospitazed one. @*Miss G* I'm glad you made it to the funeral and safely back home. You must be exhausted. Bon Voyage and have a great trip! @marshhawk Good luck to DH with the stress test tomorrow. @Cat in my lap I'm glad you were able to make alternate plans. @Horizon chaser 1957 Safe travels. @HAL Sailer Hoping for minimal damage to your family's place. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for the Celebration List. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

To @Cruising-along From @marshhawk

@Quartzsite Cruiser Good news for DH. Prayers for a successful procedure. @Rowsby Wow, enjoy the extended vacation. @dfish Fingers crossed for good news on the house. I just peeked in on Key West on PTZ cameras, and it's really blowing there. Prayers for all in the storm's path.

Sharon, have you contacted the manufacturer? My rheumatologist has a dedicated pharmacy person in their office who helps with these expensive meds (I'm on Kevazra which would run $4k-$5k a month out of pocket). My insurance did come around later and say they'd cover this non-formulary medication at $100/month, but I'd already been approved for getting it free from the manufacturer. @Horizon chaser 1957 You're off on your great adventure! Thanks for mentioning your blog. Safe travels and have a wonderful time!

Good Morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I'm sure all Dailyites appreciate world tourism day! Registering to vote is important and Forgiveness is something to strive to achieve. Not sure I agree with the quote. I like the meal, pass on the drink and maybe on the wine. I haven't been to Havre-Saint-Pierre, Quebec. Another cloudy, spotty showers, chilly day. We may get some remnants of Ian on Sunday. BFF is coming over later, so I'll do some tidying beforehand. @*Miss G* Sorry you had a restless night. Safe travels. @HAL4NOW Oh my on that picture. And with the highway closure, can you get home? @kazu Great memes. And good for you on the holiday cruise booking. @Dismomx5 Safe travels and have a wonderful cruise! @StLouisCruisers I'm glad DGD is going to a safer place. Good luck with the dentist appointment. @Cruzin Terri I hope you find your earring. @ottahand7 Continued prayers for Frank. Be safe if you go to the game. @dfish Thanks for the recipes and I hope you hear good news from the sellers soon. @Seasick Sailor Oh no on the spider bite! Insects like you too much! Sorry you lost your earring. @aliaschief Woohoo on the dishwasher installation! @Cruising-along Happy Anniversary! @fatcat04 Enjoy your day at sea. Prayers for the Care List, especially all in the path of Ian and Canada recovering from Fiona. Cheers for the Celebration List. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Daily/Fleet Report. All good days. I studied Italian and Latin in high school, and can read a bit of German (mainly recipes). Sadly I have no family. Good quote. I like the drink meal, pass on the drink and wine. I haven't been to Iraklion. Thanks for the photos. Happy Jewish New Year to those celebrating! I guess fall is here to stay, until we have Indian summer days. But I won't complain, with all the weather woes elsewhere. The news says flu cases are on the rise here; I don't usually get my flu shot until late October. But I'm still masking in stores, so that should help. @Cruzin Terri Good luck with the move back to your house. I hope you get to go on your trip. @kazu Definitely no more rain needed there. @marshhawk I guess the dog owner got a dose of reality! I hope she doesn't abuse your services. @HAL Sailer Praying for the best for DSIL. @ottahand7 Prayers for Frank as he recovers from his broken hip. @StLouisCruisers Great photos of Heraklion. Prayers that DGD in FL stays safe. @HAL4NOW I hope Skykomish is spared from the fire. @*Miss G* Safe travels tomorrow. @Vict0riann So sorry to hear you two picked up Covid on your cruise. I hope you feel better soon, especially Pat, who feels worse. @Quartzsite Cruiser Best to DH on his neurosurgeon appointment today; I hope things progress in the process. Lovely photos. @dfish Safe travels and we're hoping for good news on the house offer! @bennybear Malia Palace looks interesting. Prayers for the Care List. And all in the path of storms or fires. Cheers for the Celebration List. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Lenda, I've had no treatment for the bursitis. It was mentioned by the Rheumatology PA when it was seen on a past MRI. I will talk to her when I have an appointment the end of next month. Thanks for the information.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Happy Rosh Hashanah to those who celebrate. Best to those living with deafness. I used to like comic books and still have a collection of Star Trek ones. Good quote, except for taking tests where you had to have memorized things. I like the meal recipes. Pass on the drink, but I'll take the wine. I haven't been to Monterey. Thanks for the photos. I'm cold. I can't get used to these lower temps yet. It's 64F. We had some rain this morning and more possible this afternoon. I didn't sleep well last night with hip pain (bursitis) and knee pain. Getting old isn't for sissies, as they say! @grapau27 Thanks for today's sermon. I have the same as you; some loss of high pitch sounds and tinnitus (which is being particularly annoying recently). Prayers for Fr. David's biopsy report to be not serious. @kazu It's good to hear you came through Fiona relatively unscathed. I saw on the news how PEI and other areas suffered tremendous damage. @Cruzin Terri I hope you are out of the way of storms, but best to be prepared. I do hope you get to your anniversary trip. @0106 Thanks for the recipes. @HAL4NOW Sorry to hear the Bolt Creek fire is expected to flare up and travel again. @smitty34877 Good to hear that Camilla's Dad is ok. @dfish Thanks for checking in. Yay on finding a house you and Sue like, and prayers that your offer is accepted! @TiogaCruiser Early Happy 96th Birthday to your DD! @Cruising-along Nice way to spend your self-isolation time. And a nice surprise for DH's birthday, having his DS there! @*Miss G* I had that same reaction to the shingles vaccine, chills, headache, fatigue for about 36 hours. @rafinmd Good to hear that your relative in NS is ok. Prayers for the Care List. Prayers for those affected by Fiona and those in the path of Ian. Cheers for the Celebration List. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Rabbits are cute, but not when nesting in my yard. Only had cherries jubilee once, on a cruise. I'm not a hunter or fisherperson. Interesting quote. The meal looks interesting. Pass on the drink, but I'll take the wine. I have not been to Muscat, Oman. I look forward to any photos. Another chilly start to the day and it's partly sunny. I will try to get the lawn mowed shortly, as there's possible rain the next few days. Otherwise just do more sorting of stuff around the house. @kazu I'm glad you are ok and prepared. I hope your trees stay upright! I play the furnace game too, but since I'm always cold I use a supplemental small heater. @dfish Fingers crossed that you and Sue find a perfect place this weekend. @0106 Thanks for the recipes! @Heartgrove Sadly we're in the same club with the medial bone-on-bone in the knee. I will try the hydro gel injection soon, but my Ortho doc says I need a knee replacement 😕. I too am trying to hold off, but I have a good bit of pain. @Cruzin Terri I like your flooring selection. I hope you get to make your trip; you deserve a break! @smitty34877 100 years ago when I was in college in Boston, I went deep sea fishing in MA; I caught a lobster trap! I hope all is ok with Camilla's Dad. @ottahand7 Great catch! @*Miss G* Safe travels to and from your FIL's service. Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to the Celebration List. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily @richwmn. I'll salute sign languages and Teal Day for ovarian cancer awareness. No love notes from me today. Funny quote. I'll pass on the meal (fish) and drink. Yes to the wine. I haven't been to Qaqortoq. Thanks for the photos. Brrrr. It was 43F this AM. I was so cold when I woke up! I turned off the ceiling fan and put the comforter on the bed. At least it's sunny out, but only 56F now. @kazu Prayers for you and your area regarding the nasty weather and Fiona coming your way. Stay safe! @marshhawk Welcome home. @0106 Thanks for doing the Daily meal in @dfish Debbie's absence. @StLouisCruisers Thanks for the great photos. @aliaschief I'm glad you're ok. @HAL4NOW I hope you get some rain. Your pictures remain scary to see. @Quartzsite Cruiser Wonderful photos of Qaqortoq. @cunnorl Wow on that wave; good thing it didn't knock you off your feet! @1ANGELCAT Sorry to hear about the Botox; that stinks. @Sharon in AZ I hope the meds will take care of the psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. @Cruising-along Thanks for the great pictures. @kochleffel Let's hope the women who were at the Sisterhood meeting test themselves a few times to prevent any spread of Covid at the holiday. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for the Celebration List. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

A good choice I think. Safe travels and I hope you find the perfect house!

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Happy Fall (at 9PM)! I like hobbit day, being a big Tolkien fan! I did a LOTR tour while in NZ. A salute to business women and I like elephants (and would like to see them in the wild one day). Good quote. I've never had a sopaipillas, but they look good. Pass on the drink and wine. I have been to Anchorage on a Ryndam sea/land package. We took a bus from Seward to Anchorage then the Mckinley Explorer train to DenaIi. I did a seaplane tour in Anchorage and didn't see much of the city. Thanks for the photos. It's cloudy here and only going to be in the upper 60's. Going down to 46 tonight! I'm not sure what happened, but I went to bed just after 10:30 and didn't wake up until 9:30 this AM! Almost 11 hours of sleep. I never do that. I'm going to do more sorting and separating of stuff today. BFF may come over later. I haven't heard from my roofer about a start date, so I need to check into that. Sigh. @dfish The home inspection always seems to find something. And ugh on the windows not getting replaced today. Sorry you lost the house and a pox on that seller! Hoping for good news soon on a house for you and DS. Thanks for the recipes. I only knew of the sweet variety. @kazu You got a lot done yesterday; no wonder you were sore. Stay safe during the storm and hopefully the brunt of it bypasses you! @Cruzin Terri I hope the contractor can get the insurance company to cover all that is needed. Good to hear you slept better. I hope your hip feels better soon. @smitty34877 I'm pleased to hear that Tana's appointment went well. Sorry about DH's treatment not being covered. Can you look into patient assistance? My $6k/month med wasn't covered, but I get it free from the manufacturer; there wasn't even an income requirement, just that it wasn't covered. @HAL4NOW Those pictures you posted of the fire last night look scary! Stay safe. @*Miss G* My condolences to you and DH on the passing of your FIL. I'm glad family was able to be with him as he transitioned. Awful on the flight cancellation and the scramble to try to get another. @kplady Congrats on your upcoming retirement! @StLouisCruisers @grapau27 I've never driven a stick shift; I used to wish I knew how. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for the Celebration List. Stay safe and healthy everyone. A few pics from my Anchorage flyover. Getting up in the air.

A late good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. We certainly need International Peace and World Gratitude!. Miniature golf is fun, although I haven't played in a long time. Excellent quote. The meal looks good. Pass on the drink and maybe on the wine. I've been to Australia, but not Townsville. I'm late today. I had a dental cleaning appointment this morning (good report) and then did a bit of grocery shopping. It's partly cloudy now and we're expected to have storms later with 60+ mph winds, possible hail and possible tornadic activity. Let's hope it's not that bad. @Crazy For Cats Happy Birthday to Tucker and Jasper. @seagarsmoker Sorry to hear about the cancelled cruise. @kazu Happy to hear that you got your SUV back. Be careful moving the chairs and during the coming storm. @dfish Good news on the dry basement after the rain last night. Fingers crossed for the inspection. Ugh on the Michigan seller; that stinks! @smitty34877 Thank goodness for the neighbors. I hope Tana's appointment goes well. I'm sure it's hard to give up some control. @HAL Sailer Great news about DSIL's scans! Prayers that the chemo is tolerable and effective. @aliaschief That grilled shrimp salad looks good. Shrimp is one of the few seafood things I'll eat. @*Miss G* Sorry to hear of your DH's father's ill health and your father's. Prayers for your family. @Seasick Sailor Yikes on the fire ant bites! It sounds awful. I hope the remedies help with the discomfort. @kochleffel It sounds like junior cat is improving. You're a busy person! @HAL4NOW Prayers for your area, and good to hear that the Bolt Creek Fire has died down some. @cat shepard Enjoying your travelogue. @Cruising-along Sad for the DGSs that Nimbus hasn't been found. @Cruzin Terri Thinking of you and DH during your house ordeal. @Copper10-8 Thanks for the laughs. Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to the Celebration List. Stay safe and healthy Everyone.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Mmmm, my go to pizza is pepperoni. Punch is ok, if not too sweet. Is national get ready day like this being preparedness month? I've ordered a solar generator (due to all my power outages and food loss) and am doing some preparedness things. Great quote. Maybe on the meal, pass on the drink and yes to the wine. I haven't been to Trieste or Venice. Thanks for the photos @Cruising-along. It's sunny here and mid-70's. Then a cold front comes in and 46 Thursday night! I need to think about transplanting that rhodie I want to move. BFF and I are going out to a local restaurant for their Oktoberfest menu. We go yearly. We were to be met by friends, but the one has a head cold, and even though he tested negative, didn't want to expose me, just in case. Very thoughtful. @seagarsmoker Lovely pictures! @dfish Hoping all works out for you. I have some quinoa that I've never been brave enough to use. @kazu I sure hope your vehicle is ready today. @ottahand7 Ugh on the heavy perfume. @aliaschief Great picture. @ger_77 So nice to have had that family visit. @superoma That's a tough one with your Father's eating requirements. @durangoscots Yikes on the dangling smoke alarm. I was just thinking today that I need to call my plumber soon to check my boiler for winter (I have hot water heat). @LocoLoco1 Speedy recovery from the back surgery! Prayers for the Care List and for all those in the path of storms. Cheers to the Celebration List. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

I've just taken a loaf of bread out of the oven; baking therapy, lol. @Cruising-along I'm glad you had a good time with the grandsons, although sorry to hear of missing Nimbus. Thanks for the photos. @durangoscots I recorded Ken Burn's Holocaust program, but will wait a bit to watch it. @Quartzsite Cruiser Fingers crossed for no further roof leaks. @dfish Oh no on the water leak. Deep breaths! At least you found out about it now and can remediate it. And good to have a helpful plumber neighbor! I have some issues with water seeping through the basement wall on one side, and need to get that looked at one day. @cat shepard I'm enjoying reading about your trip, and the pictures.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I don't talk like a pirate, or like butterscotch pudding or to dance (although I like watching dance). Appropriate quote. I like the meal, drink and wine. I haven't been to Isafjordur, Iceland. Thanks for the photos. It's rainy here. I've been up since 5AM watching the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. The piper at Westminster Abbey got me 😢. Very sad and moving. A tremendous task carried out very well by all involved. I liked seeing the Mounties leading the procession. @grapau27 Thinking of you and Pauline, and all of the UK today. Many in the world are grieving along with you. @dfish Sorry to hear the seller of the Michigan house is being difficult. @StLouisCruisers Wonderful photos! @kazu I hope you get the SUV back today. @mamaofami Happy Anniversary! @Quartzsite Cruiser Great photos. @Cruzin Terri Praying for strength as you go through this crisis with your home. Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to the Celebration List.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Great days. I like cheeseburgers a lot. Women's friendships can be special. Wives should be appreciated, as should husbands. I will disagree with the quote. I like the meal (although carby) and the drink. Pass on the wine. I have been to Florence, but on a land trip. Thanks for all the photos. It's partly sunny and 80F. I got out and mowed the lawn while much of it was in shade, but was still sweating a lot. It's supposed to rain tomorrow. Now watching the Steeler game. @grapau27 Thank you for Father David's sermon today. @cat shepard @lindaler Welcome home. @1ANGELCAT I hope you're able to go on your cruise. Oh my with the wrangling over payment of your treatment for your hand. How can they expect you to sign about paying if it's not covered, when they don't state the cost? @HAL Sailer Prayers for DSIL as she navigates this process. And for DH too as he suffers from not being able to visit her. @Quartzsite Cruiser I hope the new roof screws solves the leak problem. @kazu Thank goodness for the extended warranty on the freezer. Oh my on the front door alarm. @TiogaCruiser Thanks for the excellent job you did with the daily wine. @kochleffel Yay, it sounds like Junior Cat is doing better. @durangoscots Maybe I should rethink my flu and booster shots together. I don't usually have any issue with the flu shot, but I figured to possibly feel bad all at once! @atexsix Good to see you stopping in Bruno. It's very commendable all you're doing for DD. @Horizon chaser 1957 I'm glad DD is safe; that's scary. @bennybear Woohoo on the good check up with the Oncologist! Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to the Celebration List. Stay safe and healthy everyone.
