Ok - stage 2 here. Stage 3 I'll be in bed. Do you ever just hang in a pool with a beer, talking to neighbors? I'm laughing at myself here - because I know the answer is WTF CC - no. During the summer, love getting out of work - meeting up with neighbors and just talking in the pool. Depending on the day or day of the week - I'll have a Titos and Club Soda. What I really loved to do when I was working 50% time was go for a long walk or hike and come back and go swimming - that's when I would do laps. I got WSI certified in college - used to swim a mile almost daily with a variety of strokes. Approach stroke, for me the hardest because you have to keep you head above water, side stroke and back stroke just easy going. I never did butterfly - couldn't quite get the rhythm. Then hang in the sun for a bit. That was 2 summers ago. Someday, I'll retire and do that again.

The last time I hung out in a pool was 2003, in Kuwait.  But if you open one of those orange life vests and stick it between your legs it will float you in the lake just about shoulder level, enough to keep your beer dry. LOL

We need to talk someday about all of that - only if you want to. I got to know someone on Topix - he was on a sub during the Cold War. He would wake up in cold sweats having nightmares. Couldn't talk about it. Dominick. He ended up with cancer. He got me watching Band of Brothers. It was an education. Miss him still this day.

The most dangerous thing I did over there was drive a car. But that was dangerous over there, outright nuts sometimes.  Bad enough that it was a few years after before I complained about any US traffic/bad driving.

Iraq shot scud missiles at the base but they never got past our Patriot air defense and that was all but over with when I got there.

I was traumatized by the heat though. lol

Stage 3 and bed has happened - did not realize it was midnight.

Thank You! Enjoyed talking - really love that one of my Grandsons hopes that he can see dark matter and the other knows where Joopter is. It was Jooper until this week - he has now added the t. He also like playing instruments and gives us all an instrument and we play on beat - what a kid. Sad thing is right now they're both in bubbles - I worry what the future will look like for them.  They have parents and 5 Grandparents and 3 Aunts and 2 Uncles to help.

We need better emojis.  Funny didn't fit but it was closest.
the Emojis on Old Topix were fantastic. They covered everything. They even had one for batshit crazy.

Apple is developing a new product that's just for women. It's called the iRon.
I can't believe you wrote that . Well.... I guess I can.
