Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

I've been working on a little project, not sure what to do with my Father's pins and medals.
not the official Air Force stuff, that is saved somewhere else but my brother sent me these.
most were Newark Academy in 1924, (100 years ago) my Father apparently was a good athlete. I sure never got those genes...
the ones I'm curious about are in the bottom left, the acorn badge and it looks like a theater of operations one??
has three small brass snaps in the back
anyone know what the larger badge is?

that camp is still in operation, Camp Kennebec closed in 1991

The best four-week boys summer camp in Maine - Camp Cobbossee

took son in for his haircut (told him I’m gonna charge Uber rates), got lunch, swung up to the church building to set up a couple new microphones I order this week, now being a couch potato because cat has my lazyboy
Sister said dad went out to push snow with his tractor, fell down and could hardly get himself back up. He has no reason to even push snow since he doesn’t drive. He did call her and tell on himself.
Gonna have to hide the tractor key I guess.

hope your Dad is ok Dennis

He’s ok, but had no business being out alone on a snowy day. My sisters been going over during the day some, but didn’t because of the bad roads.

BEF, glad your dad is ok. It’s tough to watch our parents age. We know they shouldn’t be doing stuff like that but they will not be convinced.

With some snow melting and winter ending in a couple of months. Thought we may need some warning about getting tractor stuck.
Music to wake up with. Not!

...oooh I get plenty of warning from the Mrs. when mud season starts.

Good morning! 24˚F heading to only 40˚, sunny early and then partly cloudy, North wind.

Yesterday I trimmed some bushes and ornamental grasses back that froze and when I finished I mowed the front yard. I was thinking of ya'll with the snow. It was 39˚ when I finished mowing, definitely the coldest temp I have ever mowed in. Now the brown grass looks even. I still need to cut it very short at the end of February so when Spring comes all the brown grass is gone.
We are ready for the rain Buppies, need to get the town lake filled before Summer.

Have you noticed, we have 10 million views on the Good Morning thread.

Your mowing gras and we are pushing back snow banks.

 

[Thomas]

Glad your father okay BEF.
Older parent can put more gray hair on one's head but it's love for the parent.

 

[Thomas]

I put all the rock in the seasonal creek bed where I hope to be able to cross this spring after the rains.

Do you plan on putting culvert in?

BEF, glad your dad is ok. It’s tough to watch our parents age. We know they shouldn’t be doing stuff like that but they will not be convinced.

let's all remember this when someone else asks us to turn over our keys
Dennis's Dad is amazing for what he is still able to do.
It may be mostly muscle memory.
What you worry about is when they start getting lost. Going on walkabouts...
