Good Morning SpaceQ, connie, hagatha, Lex, Marian, Mad, soot, Fogfighter, Draclvr and everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready. It sure sounds like everyone is in need of a strong cup of coffee with all the wild weather occurring around the world including an earthquake in California!

I hope you all can enjoy a peaceful Sunday...

Gerry

Good morning everyone!

Sunny Sunday with snow. Delviering some emergency use knäckebröd kits to the break room.

No dramatic weather here today but I'll have the WADDB anyway and keep my fingers crossed for those in wild weather conditions.

Happy Sunday GameBoomers!

Good Sunday morning Fogfighter, Gerry, SpaceQ, connie, hagatha, Lex, Marian, Mad, Draclvr and all who follow! Gerry, the clinic visit was timely and smooth…just like your wide awake double dark brew. Glad you are feeling comfortable and settling in hagatha--hope you hear from family. Stay safe and dry Mad and Lex with your blustery weather.

Wishing you all a wonderful day.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Sunday morning! I am finally resurfacing after the marathon cooking for 35 people down at the horse rescue ranch. Whew! The help from the two grandkids was wonderful and their home made cinnamon rolls were well-received along with all the other yummy food. I think I finally sat down at 10 pm Friday night! Frank has been a great help for Grandpa with his super painful knees. We were all in a food coma when we got home yesterday! My son who lives nearby came over and shot clay birds with Frank and Anna Lucy. Anna Lucy is a little thing and she has quite a bruised shoulder, but they both hit more clay birds than they missed! I managed to pull on my reserves and made home made pizza for everyone. We sat around the table and laughed for a long time - Anna Lucy and I polished off a bottle of wine! My son and I were sharing stories about his dad - their Grandpa who died before they were born.

Kitchen clean-up continues and I can't wait to get it back in order and to mop the filthy floor! Then I think this tired old Grandma is going to take the day off.

Mad, I have been following that horrendous weather in the UK. I need to check in with Rosaboobie and see how she's faring - she's in the north of Scotland.

Draclvr ….
Scotland has had absolutely extreme weather so I hope you get good news 🤞

Good Morning everyone and Welcome to a new week! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew awaits!

It has warmed up into the 30s here so I was able to walk this weekend...felt good to get out in the fresh air! i will run errands this morning in town and then take another 3 mile walk before the rain comes this afternoon.

Draclvr that was a lot of work cooking for all those people at the horse rescue! I don't know where you get your energy!

Have a great start to your week everyone!

Gerry

Good Monday morning everyone. Enjoying a cup of wide awake double dark brew while I plan my schedule for the day. Great news you were able to get out to walk this morning Gerry...me too before the rain starts. Let it rain let it rain. Take the week off Draclvr.

Have a wonderful day everyone

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Meeting at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning everyone.

Not much on the horizon today. I'll be off to Pilates shortly and then the Vet Tech will be here to trim Willow's nails. I'll send Family a PM later this morning.

Have a great Monday!

Good Monday morning! Ahhh... the grands are both still in bed, so I'm enjoying the complete quiet and my 2nd cup of WADDB.

This is their last day here, so we'll try to think of something to do. I'm thinking we might drive over to the neighboring town and visit the Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipe factory. It's an interesting place and has been in business for over 150 years. They sell corn cob pipes all over the world. The special corn for the pipes is grown just a few miles away. In the 1800's they used buffalo bone for the mouth pieces. Frank's been wanting BBQ and there is a great restaurant over there, so maybe we'll hit that too. We'll take them to the airport about noon tomorrow.

Just ONE more load in the dishwasher and I'm all caught up from the cooking marathon! I could wash by hand, but most of this gets put away, so I want it to be squeaky clean. Gerry, I was clocking right at 2 - 3 miles every day according to my Fitbit while I was cooking!

Good Morning soot, connie, hagatha, Draclvr, Fogfighter and everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready!

Draclvr that is a lot of walking while you cook! Amazing! Time to rest once the grandkids are gone today!

We are expecting more rain this afternoon so I will walk this morning...yesterday I managed over 4 miles with my friend and neighbor Andrea...she is 78...3 years younger then me.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Gerry

Good morning Gerry, Draclvr, hagatha, connie and all who pop in today. Oh my goodness Draclvr, I would want a smaller kitchen so as not to walk so much...but then again you are getting some good exercise. Have fun with the grands this morning. Gerry, it's been raining all night and hopefully will continue for most of the day. I got my walk in during a break in the rain this morning. Grocery shopping is on my agenda today, but before that I am relaxing with a couple of cups of wide awake double dark brew!

Have a wonderful toosday everyone

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. When I was a kid we always bought my granddad a corn cob pipe for Christmas. My uncle worked for Kaywoodie, but granddad always said he liked our pipe better. Lunch and Netflix with a friend today. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Wednesday morning! Ah, blissful quiet while I enjoy my WADDB. Will get some breakfast into the kids and then head down to the airport about 12:30 in order to get them there an hour early at 1:30. They travel light with just backpacks and laptops. Anna Lucy got them both checked in yesterday and they just use the QR codes instead of boarding passes.

I hope they had a good time in spite of it being winter. Frank struggles with social anxiety, and this has always been his "happy place," so I hope he got a good recharge. He's sure been a great help to his Grandpa with his really bad knees. While she was here Anna Lucy finished her last exams for her Master's degree and is now on the hunt for a job.

Good Morning soot, Connie, Draclvr, hagatha, Fogfighter and everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready to start your day.

Soot I got to go for a walk yesterday with my friend and neighbor...another 4 miles. Draclvr it sounds like they had a wonderful time with you and hubby for sure!

Today it will be a rainy, windy, stormy day...may even have some thunder and lightening later! No walk today...a good day to game and if we lose power I will do some puzzling.

Hope you all have a good day!

Gerry

Good morning everyone!

The WADDB is always a great way for a caffein addict to start the day. Now adding some emergency use knäckebröd to the break room.

Over here - 4 Celsius with snow and not much wind. Not much drama expected.

I haven't done any crosswords puzzles recently. But I am programming a text based mini-game which I hope can be of interest to some GameBoomers. More or less finished. The good news is that it's going to be freeware. The bad news is that it runs on Linux. Any Linux users around here?

Happy Wednesday GameBoomers!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Music Bingo at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and Hug someone.

Good Wednesday morning! Temp hovering right around freezing today, so the WADDB really hits the spot.

Grands transported to the airport yesterday and are safely back home in Colorado. I hope they enjoyed their visit as much as we did even if it was in the winter.

Must catch up on laundry today and mop floors. But first, I'm going to enjoy my morning coffee and do my Wordle!

Fogfighter, I'm not aware of any Linux users here at GB. But you might ask your question in our Adventure Games Discussion forum.

Good morning everyone and happy Wednesday to one and all. Enjoyed the brisk temps this morning with 20 mph winds and gusts up to 35 mph. We received 3.5 inches of rain these past days and were happy to get that for everyone.

Stay warm and enjoy the day!

Good morning everyone!

Fogfighter, I quite like a nice quiet snowfall as long as there's no drama. The first snowfall in Toronto was always the best. After that it just got grim and dirty. Of course here we tend to have wet snow that melts quickly and creates road hazards because few people here know how to drive in it.

Nothing much planned for the day. I'm going to a neighbourhood Christmas party tonight and am looking forward to that.

It is cold here today we we received our first snow flurries of the season.

Good Morning Fogfighter, soot, connie, Draclvr, hagatha, SpaceQ and everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready!

Soot I got 3.5 inches of rain yesterday too...I just hope my driveway is not coated with black ice.

Staying home today...hope to be able to walk later.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Gerry

Good Morning everyone.

Delivering some emergency use knäckebröd while we wait for the donuts.

Sunny Thursday without thunderstorms. Unfortunately also not much wind. Peaceful and calm but electricity cost is rising considerably.
Main culprit is the interconnected power grids and the large amount of windpower. Now we suffer from what the Germans call Dunkelflaute. Dark and calm (no wind). Still some solar power generated but not enough and only during daytime. So right now at least Germany and southern Sweden suffer from super expensive electricity. The peak will be a few hours this evening and hopefully things will return to normal, until next unfortunate weather condition. Meanwhile I think many people enjoy the nice weather.

Thanks for the Adventure Games Discussion forum suggestion Dracvlr. I still got some work to do but hopefully can present something soon. I may try to make a Windows version but there are some challenges with windows for a hobbyist.


Happy Thursday GameBoomers!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Cold and windy here this morning. Enjoy the day and hug someone.
