dfish Posted June 22, 2021 #3 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Good morning, everyone. I am so cold. I've been shaking for the last hour despite having a sweatshirt and wool sweater on. I turned the furnace on and I'm wrapped in a blanket. My back is on fire. Today's meal sounds good, but I will pass and have something really easy to make. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/marcela-valladolid/warm-picnic-burritos-burritos-de-machaca-recipe-1952475 25 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare puppycanducruise Posted June 22, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Good morning. Thanks for the Tuesday Daily Report. Interesting collection of days. Save the Rainforest! Thanks to HVAC techs keeping us warm or cool. I'd love some onion rings. The dinner suggestion sounds good, looking forward to seeing the recipe. I love sipping a cosmo in the Crow's Nest. Hope the wine is good too. Sending prayers for everyone. Stay safe. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted June 22, 2021 #5 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Thank you for the Tuesday Daily, Rich. HVAC Techs will be in great demand these days, and the Rainforests play a vital role in out environment. I'll pass on the onion rings. Love the Ghandi quote. I don't think I've ever been to New Caledonia. I'll pass also on the Burrito. My alternative suggestion is Pinnacle Burger with Sorbet, a lunch that almost eliminates the need for dinner. A little quirk of Common Law I discovered while working is that one is deemed to "attain" an age the day before their birthday. Today I attain age 78. Tomorrow will be a strange birthday as the "highlight" will be another echocardiogram with my cardiologist. I am not looking forward to that.

Rare kazu Posted June 22, 2021 #6 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Thanks for the Daily, Rich and our Tuesday smile 🙂 Interesting collection of days. I’m sure those with A/C appreciate the HVAX techs. Love onion rings and the Rainforests deserve our care and preservation. Love the Gandhi quote and the meal suggestion sounds like a winner 👍 (but so does Roy’s Pinnacle burger 😉 ) All the suggestions for today are winners, actually. I’d love a Cosmopolitan on BHB & having been to wineries in St Emilion, I nearly guarantee that wine is good 😉 DH and were in New Caledonia - fabulous! Sadly my pics are the old fashioned kind. Some of my peonies are just opening up. Knowing that Claudette will probably beat the petals off, I decided to save them for myself 😉 While we suffer with rain, lots of areas are too dry and need it. I went looking for the different ways to find water but sadly, I doubt anyone of them will help: And another from the garden since again, Claudette will barrage the petals. OK, who got the vaccine yesterday? Me or Miko? Seems Miko decided that Marley’s hip made a great pillow. And, of course, Marley let him stay there. Prayers for everyone on the Care list & for those that need them & 🥂 to those on the Celebratory / Shout Out list. Have a great Tuesday everyone! Stay safe and don’t forget your 😷 37 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimgev Posted June 22, 2021 #8 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Good Morning. Protecting our rainforests is on a par with protecting our oceans, The Gandhi quote is so perfect for him - profoundly simple. He truely lived his message. Pnion rings, when done right, are great. Just discovered that my young fig tree has a serious problem with scale insects. Looks like I will be dealing with that today. jim Edited June 22, 2021 by jimgev 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Boston Posted June 22, 2021 #9 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Happy Tuesday everyone and thanks for the daily report Rich. We should all be concerned about the rain forests that provide us with the oxygen that we breathe. HVAC technicians are very critical this time of year. I can’t remember the last time that I had an onion ring. Words to live by from Gandhi. I love a well made Cosmo. The meal sounds nice but it’s grilled brats this evening. I’ve never been to today’s port so I look forward to seeing the photos. Prayers to all of those on our list. Cheers to everyone celebrating a happy event. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted June 22, 2021 #10 Share Posted June 22, 2021 All the talk of the Bordeaux bridge made me go back and look at some of the pics from when we were on the Prinsendam and went under. One of the beauties of that ship was she fit under and could dock right downtown 👍 From 2019: The bridge in the distance as we were leaving: and our second bridge: Not a ton of space to clear for sure. The ship brought down it’s satellite/antenna (sorry I can’t remember the word for the tall things) to go under the bridge. 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat shepard Posted June 22, 2021 #13 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Thank you for today’s Daily, Rich! I will celebrate our Rainforests and HVAC techs. Thank you for keeping our lists, Roy. Morning Dailyite family! Another cloudy morning, but the air feels so fresh after the storms of the past few days. Do you feel sick, Debbie @dfish? Symptoms sound flu-like. Be well. Busy day for me, will check in later. Prayers for all who need our support. Cheers to all who are celebrating! Stay well everyone! ********* Château Canon-La Gaffelière St.-Emilion 2014 The Bordeaux red blend has spectacular ratings for all vintages, and has a price to match. The lowest price I found online was $99.97, but if you live outside the States, you might not have to deal with the 25% tariff. Winemaker Notes #7 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2017 Blend: 55% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon WS95 Wine Spectator: This cuts a wide swath, with mouthwatering tobacco and warm ganache notes leading the way, followed by a wave of fig, blackberry and black currant preserves. Shows remarkable definition already, even though the structure is strident. Tempting now, but just put this in the back of the cellar. Best from 2020 through 2035. WE95 Wine Enthusiast: Superripe fruits dominate this wine. It is generous and full in the mouth, the tannins and structure buried within the fruity richness. The finish shows ample freshness. Barrel Sample: 93-95 JS93 James Suckling: This is a big, rich wine with masses of ripe black-fruit aromas and a lot of supple, dry tannins that support the full body very nicely. Drink in 2020 but delicious now. WW93 Wilfred Wong of Wine.com: The 2014 Château Canon-La-Gaffelière gets high marks for being an excellent wine and being made from certified organically grown grapes. Exhibiting loads of red and black fruits, but not overpowering the palate, this wine delivers one of it best efforts to date. (Tasted: January 27, 2017, San Francisco, CA) 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back feels a little better and I'm not shaking anymore. In fact, I'm hot. It is always something. 16 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunnorl Posted June 22, 2021 #15 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Good Morning Everyone from a warm and overcast day at the beach. More rain coming later. My Hvac tech is scheduled today for the bi-annual cleaning of our units. Hope he does not find anything. Love onion rings but they dont love me, so will pass. Never been to todays port but will enjoy looking at the pictures. @dfish Debbie- that sounds like a call to the Doctor. Hope you are feeling better soon! @rafinmdRoy Happy pre Birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day and a great year to come Stay safe and enjoy today 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasick Sailor Posted June 22, 2021 #16 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Good morning Rich, Roy, sisters and fellow Daily-ites. Thank you to all contributors. Happy Birthday eve Roy! Debbie I hope you aren't coming down with shingles? Hope you feel better, if not call the doctor. Jacqui in regards to your post about the complainers: "Some people would b**ch if you hung them with a new rope". You're doing a very great job.. I need to go clean up our yard after last nights hellacious storm soon as the sun is up. We had a whopper. We have 8 plants to get in the ground this morning. The nursery is finally starting to get plants in that I have wanted. Our crepe myrtle trees took a big hit from our winter storm and we do not have one bud on them. Going to a luncheon with our Social Committee and planning the next few months activities. Prayers, cheers, blessings. 26 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty34877 Posted June 22, 2021 #17 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Good morning to all. I am appreciating HVAC technicians as I sit here in the comfort of AC while outside the heat and mugginess persist. I love the quote and that the Rain forests have their day but have not had an onion ring in years. The recipe looks great but I am worried about @dfish. I hope you can get yourself evaluated as that does not sound good. Please let us know if you can. @kazu, I love the pictures of your dogs reclining together! The Bordeaux pictures have inspired me to find the picture from our last trip there and leaving in the early morning under the bridge.Thanks. I hope you and DH are feeling well after your second shots. We are making plans to go to the Cape(Cod) with our DS and family for a few days and I am beyond excited. The house they are renting is near both the Bay and the ocean so it will be fun to explore that with the grandchildren. We had always gone to the Cape when our children were young and I am excited that DS is taking the family there now. I will also be able to stay overnight with DSIL who lives 40 minutes away from the bridge to the Cape We have not seen her since November 2019.

dfish Posted June 22, 2021 #23 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Televisit with the Dr. this afternoon. I'm feeling better, but still want to check this out. I chose televisit because I don't feel like getting dressed and driving over there and I don't want to infect anyone with whatever I have since I do have a fever. 18 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLouisCruisers Posted June 22, 2021 #24 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Good Tuesday morning! It's sunny here in SW Ohio today, after a cloudy and sometimes rainy day yesterday. Even with the rains we managed to get a barbecue in for dinner last night. One granddaughter came over to share the meal with us and visit a while. The other granddaughter is in Florida on vacation so we will miss her this week. 🙁 With all the cancellations yesterday I'm wondering if the Volendam will be taking us on the Grand South America and Antarctica cruise in January. She has no cruises scheduled now until that Jan. 4 cruise. If DH doesn't agree to fly long distances again in the future we may only be able to do cruises from US ports, and that doesn't get you very far usually. The Grand Voyages are ideal in that regard. This opinion of his has just reared its head since the pandemic and our long stay at home. I'm hoping I can change his mind. @dfishI pray you find out your ailment is something minor and not shingles. Please keep us updated! @rafinmddon't forget to add yourself to the celebration list tomorrow! We don't want to forget to celebrate your 78th.🎉 Prayers for all of us and our loved ones in need, and cheers for those with happy news to share. I have not been to the destination of the day and will add it to my list. I hope I am not a solo cruiser in the future when I finally see all these places.🤞 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
