Time for a strange things I have seen in the last couple days story. Strange thing #1- We were driving home on the interstate on Monday, and saw a pickup truck with a utility trailer stopped along the shoulder. The guy had evidently failed the “secure your load” class, because his brand new refrigerator was laying on it’s side in the trailer, and he was picking up pieces. I am sure he was regretting not getting to $40 delivery fee. I would not want to be him when he got home and his wife saw that! Strange thing #2- I had to pick up some supplies for equipment maintenance, and drop them at my house. On my way from there, back to my daughter’s house, I see a lot of flashing lights along the road, about 1/4 mile from our place. Five police cars and three wildlife officer cars, and everyone is out, with their rifles drawn. So, either they spotted the black bear that has been roaming, or they were going after a poacher. Not so strange thing from this morning. I saw these guys. They were either chasing a couple chickens, because they had a question for them, or they heard it is getting closer to Thanksgiving. Anyhow, they were hurrying across the road.

We drive to Florida every year. We did it a couple times doing 10-11 hour days, and it was just too tiring and stressful. (Heck, in our younger days we would drive 23 hours straight) Now, we go no more than 450 miles in one day, switching drivers every 100-120 miles. It is much more relaxing that way.

It looks like you had perfect weather for your helicopter tour. Great pictures and video. When I did a tour, years ago, they set us down on one of those beaches along the Nāpali Coast. I wonder if any of the tours do that anymore? It looks like you had both doors off for the flight. -

The helicopter tour in Kauai was the highlight of one of my early trips there. I went through several rolls of Kodachrome. Now you know how long ago that was. Enjoy that flight. It will be amazing. -
Susan and the grandkids stayed at our house. I went back and stayed at the hotel, because I had to get up early to take our daughter. That way I wouldn’t disturb them getting ready. I think their plan is yo go have breakfast at the hotel and swim this morning. There is a pretty good breakfast there. I am glad I could grab some food for the road.

We picked up the grandkids yesterday. Cookies were made, but they will be icing and decorating them today. No school for them today. Columbus Day holiday. We booked a hotel room for the night, so they could enjoy some indoor pool and hot tub time. Had the pool all to ourselves last night, and they will be doing more swimming this morning before checkout. Me? I am off to pick up our daughter and take her to chemo treatment and other appointments today.

Ok, now I need some iPhone help, because this is disturbing!!! I usually have several tabs open in Safari, and switch between them. I can’t figure how it arrives at the thumbnail to display, because it is never the last place on the thread I visited. Now for the disturbing part. I open up my tab sheet, and I see this. Susan is looking over my shoulder, and sees the upper right tab, and asks why there is a pin up boy on that one?😏😬 It must be because @Yorkvillain is using it as his wall paper now 🤣🤣

How does it feel to have a 7am game start? I am afraid the Bills will really thump us today. We are missing TJ, and there are a lot of growing pains to go through now. Aloha. -
It is 34°F this morning with a feels like 29°. We get the grandkids this afternoon, for an overnight stay. It looks like cookies will be made and decorated. We have a hotel room reserved for the night, so they can enjoy some pool and hot tub time. Indoors, of course. We already had a change in plans, because we were both supposed to watch them tomorrow (no school for Columbus Day), while SIL took our daughter to her chemotherapy, but now I will be taking her and Susan will be entertaining the kids on her own. Off to look for some more LIVE threads, since some have been winding down.

At least the weather was a little better for granddaughter’s cheering at the football game. Another win for them, 32-12. Grandson’s team, and the team she cheers for remain undefeated. As for masks, I have a new package of KN95s being delivered tomorrow. I need those for my trips to the hospital with my daughter. At least they are less expensive, and easier to find now.

I have never been sea sick, but I have been told that green apples help a lot. Princess usually had a good supply of them when we sailed. We sailed Coral eight years ago, on a Panama Canal cruise. Be interesting to hear about your experience with medallion. They were just starting to implement it on our last Princess sailing. Have a great cruise.
