I'm back!

Post by Ysabel Kid »

I know, not posting as regularly as I once was able to do, many probably didn't notice my absence for the last 2 weeks +! :oops: I took the family on a vacation, doing what we like to do best: take a cruise. I like it because we pack and unpack very few times, yet get to see a lot of places (my wife and children do not travel as lightly as I do; lack of experience! :lol: ). I also like it because I can truly get away from the 100+ work e-mails I get a day, and not feel guilty about not checking (too darn expensive).

I'm now paying the price, starting to dig out of the pile of e-mails, snail-mail, house & yard chores, etc. But it was so worth it! :D

I make it a practice not to post about going before a vacation (and don't let my family post on social media while we are gone, which drives them all nuts - an added bonus :wink: ); just for safety. Who knows who trolls here... :shock:

Anyway, a belated "Happy Birthday" to everyone I missed. I hope you are all doing well, have been safe and healthy, and got to go out shooting some - and/or bought a new gun or two, while I was gone! :wink:

Actually, with my FIL's passing right before we left (we didn't think we'd be able to go, and were about to call it off), I guess I've been AWOL pretty much all month. Seems longer, and I am glad to be "back home".

Gee Kid, you took a 100-count hit in your post count just to take a cruise?!?! Hope it was a good one. :wink:

Glad to have you back.

My back survived the 8+ hour flights both ways. That was my worry. That, and being a pack-mule for my wife's luggage, which pressed right up against the weight limits! :roll: Fortunately, Y2K is now bigger (and stronger) than I am. Unfortunately, he packed worse than my wife. :shock:

Losing the weight last year has made a huge difference in my ability to withstand things that would have killed my back almost instantly, as well as bounce back from them.

And I didn't gain too much over the 2 week trip, though we ate like kings, as one tends to do on cruises. All the walking at our ports of call helped. I was hoping to gain no more than 10 pounds, only gained 6, and already lost 2.5 of it since being back. I'm back down to a net 60 lb weight loss since my high-point 1/1/2015.

Thanks for asking! :D

I'm about to relinquish my mantle to Blaine, and happily so. :wink: :lol:

Yep, I saw that article and wondered about "Ysabel, Mexico" myself! I may have to add it to the bucket-list. This vacation was the completion of a 36 year arc. It will be hard to beat...

BTW, who turned up the thermostat while I was gone?

Granted, it was hot and humid when I left, but whew-doggie, 100 degrees and 100% humidity when I got back?

OUCH!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:
