Running Bear's January 2020 Coffee Shop

[Burlington Bob]

Good morning, America! We got home from Tennessee last night and we had a great time! Met up with our realtor and looked at houses on two days. Spent three days looking in and around Sparta and Cookeville. We found a great place in the country outside of Sparta, with a great view, really nice road and close to town. If all goes smoothly, we'll close at the end of February. We are excited to have found a house that is about as close to what we wanted as you could get without having it custom built. Now the hard work begins! Getting all of our stuff ready, deciding what to keep and what to get rid of. Got to finish projects on this house and get everything ready to sell here. A lot to do to get ready, so at times I may be absent or just not on here often. But when we're all moved, I will have a nice size room to build my layout and I am excited beyond words.

Bob - You're moving fast in finding that retirement homestead. Good Luck. There really are no Whataburgers in the whole state of Tennessee. My wife's BIL loves their burgers and has to drive to Alabama to get one. He knows all of their locations from Cookeville to Gulf Shores and stops at all of them when we meet up for our annual vacation there.

I could put a Boilermaker acronym here, but I'll just say we don't fool around!

Bob - the Sparta/Cookeville area is great place. I'm sure you will enjoy your retirement there.

Bob, give me about 8 more years and we'll be neighbors. We have been looking east of Sparta along 70 S. Many nice places along there and with a veiw on the south side of the highway.

Good Afternoon,

Made it home about an hour ago. It was a uneventful drive both ways.

Good afternoon. It's clear and 44.
Today seems to one of those days when electronics are out to get me. I'm going to spend the rest of the day reading a book and doing laundry...

 

[Texas Hobo]

Good afternoon all. Man it's hard to catch up here at the diner when you miss a couple, three days. I've been away and then had to lend a hand hanging a QLED (?) tv. I did manage an hour switching cars, but no progress on scenery.

MIKE -- Please set one aside for me! BBoB has inspired me to "greatness", lol. That makes a nice looking paint booth! I will cover shipping - no hurry - I can wait for warmer weather?

So have a couple good ones I have Jerome's address just need Shirley's

Sure have enjoyed all the posts since yesterday. Found another saying for you.
OLD SOUTHERN SAYING- A truly happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Cantina more specifically refers to an establishment that offers alcoholic beverages. Rosa's Place is a taco shop, not a dive bar. Believe me, I live among these people.
More here.

Temp stayed under 70* and partly cloudy. Tonight low 50's. Next seven days should be the same. Sporadic showers.
Glad CURT safely home
Wish all a goodnight and pleasant dreams

You have a temp "fix" to your knees by a gell like injection? Watching your progress closely - keep us up to dat[/I]e.

Sherrel: Certainly! This past Thursday, was the final injection in the series. On average, the Gel sets up and becomes effective around six errks from the initial injection. So somewhere around February 13, give or take a few days, I'll know if it worked. I see the doctor on the 13th, also. meanwhile, the PT is suspended until the next visit. I'm disappointed because I was beginning to feel like the PT was helping. Going to continue with what I can at home.
MIL is in the Rehab, pretending she cannot walk...i don't know what she is thinking, but she will not be happy with the consequences of being "bedridden" and in need of nursing care.

Spent the day trying to get my HP OfficeJet Pro to work, bad print quality. turns out the printer head is leaking ink. I still have the old Canon, which will still print using a generic Windows 10 driver. Canon stopped supporting this series when Win 10 came out. I'm in no hurry to buy a new printer, as long as the Canon functions.
