I won't mention our temps for the next several days, Moldy.
Stan, I debated about reflectors. I am all for visibility. We'll see.

Cold front came thru. Won’t be doing much outside. Ordered some soft spikes for a spare pair of golf shoes.
I got the take offs, Greg. Since you're considering having yours chromed I wonder if they would would give you credit for them. You're welcome to them.

Well this was embarrassing. We had a memorial service today for a Veteran. It was held in a community center local to us. We arrived, discussed a plan. I was led to believe they would start the remembrance, say a few things, then we would fire rifles and play taps. Well the son started the service, then invited people to stand and give stories about his father. We stood at the back of the facility, with our winter jackets and gear. After 45 minutes of people telling stories, I had the unfortunate episode of passing out. I stood at a sliding door with the sun beating on my back. Had winter gear on, and I guess I just got too damned hot and passed out. I felt so embarrassed that this happened. Stopped the service, and was surprised how quickly several people got me up, in a seat, and a small glass of water. They gave me a few minutes and asked if I was ok. We did finish our service. I presented the fired brass and the folded flag to the widow. I apologize profusely. She said she understood. I felt so embarrassed and ashamed. I always want to do the family a great service. And do not wish to embarrass our Post. I apologized to my team, and they all told me to shut up and that they were concerned about me and not embarrassing anyone. I have a great team.
Sorry to vent here, but I feel so bad over this. Thank you for listening.
And if you look at my signature, I'm not looking for sympathy!
