Plook - 24-2-2023 at 02:13
Thanks all, I am glad I survived but I have been
here nearly 12 years and it is a loss to see people you worked with for a long time leave, especially when it is not by choice...
Plook - 25-2-2023 at 05:26
Thank you all I slept good last night knowing I
still had a job...:grin:
It's a low key Friday because we go see Bill Maher the comedian tomorrow night at the Hard Rock Casino...:guitar2:

RG Kat
WAS RECOGNIZED FOR
SET AMBITIOUS GOALS, BE GRITTY, BE ACCOUNTABLE.

Baby J really likes Peppa Pig and he scored an impressive amount of toys, I got him a large Tonka Excavator he is already mechanically inclined at 2
years old...:shocked:
Baby J with Cake, a very happy kinda' guy....:grin:
Baby J and I both love the same gal so we have a complicated relationship she watches him on Saturday and he never let's me forget it,
when we are together he waits until nobody is looking and flips me off saying in a low voice
"Fuck you old man she's mine on Saturday!"....
GrayGhost - 8-3-2023 at 09:32
Well played Baby J…..
It could be time for a duct-tape/roadrunner cartoon marathon,
only two though, maybe next year…..
Plook - 10-3-2023 at 02:26
We had to cancel Hump Day yesterday Kat is
feeling a little under the weather, we are getting hit by another massive storm that is expected to bring 5 to 10 inches of rain in the next 24 and
possible as much as 10 feet of snow to the mountains...:shocked:
They have the dams wide open releasing as much precious water as they can due to the need for room from run off and snow melt, this could get bad real
quick fingers are crossed...:wow:
Here's Tuesdays sunset from my driveway...
Plook - 11-3-2023 at 17:06
We laid low last night Kat has a cold and we were
ready for intense storms but they skirted south
of us we have light rain now but it is warm and the concern is melting snow pack in an already full water system...
In light of the water situation I am starting a new project in my backyard...
Eddie RUKidding - 11-3-2023 at 23:11
^ You better start rounding up the animals :freak:
GrayGhost - 12-3-2023 at 08:05
The ark of today would need to be a little larger to accommodate a selection of our
friends in the LGBTIQA+ community…..
And no hyenas this time f:swear:g laughing almost drove me crazy last time…..
Eddie RUKidding - 12-3-2023 at 23:05
Don't forget the living dead and our alien friends from area 51 too
Plook - 14-3-2023 at 01:35
Well we got pretty lucky on that pass of storms
most of the intense action, torrential rain, flooding, thunder storms, possible tornados, etc...stayed south of us...not so lucky to get to golf
yesterday...
Ready for the next round scheduled to start tonight the big worry still is rain melting snow rapidly at lower elevations and if it does the storage
reservoirs can handle the input...:puzzled:
Kat was on the sofa all weekend under the weather so we caught up on some TV shows while I kept her feed and hydrated...
We will see how it goes...
I guess that old adage is true..."There are no Atheists in a Fox Hole...+
polydigm - 16-3-2023 at 05:46
There's an atheist in this one.
Plook - 17-3-2023 at 15:18
LOL...Poly old faithless...I am not a religious guy although I was brought up Catholic (good education for sure) but I have become a praying man of
late (I pray to no one in particular very generic) after reading a study that found that hospital patients who were prayed for faired better than
those that had no or less prayer, even if the patient was unaware of the prayer for the most part...positive vibes...
Eddie RUKidding - 17-3-2023 at 22:21
Another atheist here too Plook but keep up the vibes, can't hurt particularly when they're played well - always better than a cowbell :bald:
Plook - 18-3-2023 at 01:32
You all keep the Non-Faith, it's all
good...:grin:
Well faired pretty well in that last round of storms but this snowmelt thing is the fly in the soup.
We have had two nice days with more Atmospheric Stream on the way...:freak:
Kat is still under the weather but going to work, we will keep the ship in dry dock for another week at least...:shocked:
polydigm - 19-3-2023 at 19:37
Faithless? I have faith in people.
Plook - 19-3-2023 at 20:56
Sorry Poly meant as a joke/play on words "Man of Faith" to "Man of Non-Faith" apparently it did not work nor was funny my
apologize you are free to do what ever you want as long as it isn't murder...there I go again I can't help it...:freak:
polydigm - 21-3-2023 at 17:53
No worries, I can’t help it either.
Plook - 22-3-2023 at 01:24
We are back in the atmospheric Flow and more
heavy rains and snow forecasted, had to pump my pool down again lost count when I crossed a dozen but I am sure it is close to 15 or 20 times so far
since December.
Got a DJ for the wedding, he's young that is for sure...:umm:
polydigm - 22-3-2023 at 23:08
The feeling you get when you're dealing with a policeman that's younger than your children!
Plook - 23-3-2023 at 00:21
So true!
Plook - 23-3-2023 at 02:06
It's Wednesday and I think we are going to

Plook - 30-3-2023 at 04:56
Yet more rain and snow in the Nor Cal, I hope to
God the Golf Course survives...
It's a lay low Hump Day for Plook and the Kat...:grin:
Plook - 6-4-2023 at 01:58
Unfortunately Kat isn't feeling well again it
has been on and off for 5 or 6 weeks now she went to Urgent Care to test for COVID she can't successfully test at home because of her nasal
issues she can't get a good swab...
The camel is in triage tonight...
Plook - 8-4-2023 at 01:26
Argh me Matty’s shiver me timbers the ship has
run afoul…:shocked:
I be needing to fix her haul and steady her keel...:wow:
So back to sea we can go...
polydigm - 8-4-2023 at 20:37
It sucks being sick - all the best.
Plook - 8-4-2023 at 23:32
Thank you Poly.
The good news her test came back negative for COVID and flu.
They have her baby grandson at her house along with her son and daughter in-law, they all keep cycling through various coughs and flu like symptoms,
the baby is in day care and those places
as I think every knows are petri dishes of sickness and they may just be recycling.
I have been very lucky/resilient and besides having a short bout with COVID months ago have stayed good, I just wish Kat felt better she is getting
wore down and that gal doesn't roll like that.
Plook - 13-4-2023 at 01:31
Here it comes...:bouncy:
The Plook and Kat Wedding....:shocked:

Congratulations Plook, you and Kat have wow of a time at Point Plook in July and don't let them play any Yacht Rock (so no ride like the wind or
sailing :mad:
Plook - 14-4-2023 at 00:08
By the way Kat is feeling a lot better, we may

Eddie RUKidding - 15-4-2023 at 06:38
Good to hear Kat's better Plook
Plook - 16-4-2023 at 02:57
She sure is she is at a car lot getting a new
car right now...:shocked:
She was watching Baby J today and I was out doing things getting ready to have an epic day working around Plook Palace. I went to wash my car this
morning and noticed my front right tire had tread separation. I took it to a tire shop and because of All Wheel Drive you have to change them all so I
left my car there all day and spent over $1000 replacing them.
I called Kat I knew she had been looking at cars (her son works at a big car lot in town) and she said I am going to buy the car I liked. I just met
her over there but they had to finish the paperwork and detail the car so I came back home to get some stuff done.
I'm glad for her she wasn't happy with the ride she was in for a while and she got great trade in value on her Honda CRV....I will post
pictures when she gets it here maybe tomorrow...
Plook - 19-4-2023 at 02:07
Kat traded her Honda CRV for this Toyota Rav4 she
got a good deal and is very happy...:grin:
I told her with that white roof people are going to think she is Law Enforcement, I think I will buy her a light bar for it so she can scare the crap
out of people when she comes up behind them...
Eddie RUKidding - 19-4-2023 at 03:59
^ Would sure make traffic get out of the way
Plook - 20-4-2023 at 01:15
It's Wednesday Kat is on her way for her
Hump Day visit...:grin:
Ok Kat let her new police cruiser go to her head...

Numbers 4/22
Note: Today is an important date for me I posted this last year and a lot of people liked it, I couldn’t say it any better so I am posting it again.
I apologize for any misspellings or grammatical errors in advance.
We all have Numbers a birth date, a graduation date, a marriage date, the date our child was born, the day someone we loved passed. We carry these
Numbers throughout our life, we celebrate them, we dread them, we can have many numbers with many feelings attached good and bad sometimes both.
I have one of those Numbers April 22nd, it is at once one of the best days in my life and the one of the most painful days of my life so let’s do
this by the Numbers.
April 22 2014 8 years ago this is a day a bad day the day that I lost my wonderful wife of 31 years another number, she had been diagnosed with breast
cancer a couple years before had a partial mass, triple chemo, radiation twice and became cancer free. A couple months after her port was removed, she
began having some balance issues and ultimately was diagnosed with 3 large brain tumors, another number.
She had Gamma Knife surgery and they got two completely and 98% of the third more numbers, everything was going well but she had a really bad reaction
to a drug she needed to be on for the surgery and blew a hole in her colon. She ended up in the hospital had a colon surgery that failed 10 days later
and the did the very massive surgery again.
Well, she never really came back after the second surgery she was in a post medical delirium and after 30 days at the hospital they moved her to a
private hospital ICU in Folsom, yes more numbers.
After being there weeks, she came down with pneumonia and deteriorated very fast and was done with an air tub keeping her breathing the doctors
suggested if I wanted I could have it removed, I knew Terri didn’t want this we had discussed it at length. I contacted her family to give them time
to get here and we set the date Tuesday April 22 2014 at 11:00 am, so many numbers.
Terri was always in control whether you knew it or not, and so it was on Tuesday April 22nd. It was a beautiful spring day in Folsom California, the
type of day Terri loved, cloudy with sun sometimes your warm, sometimes it’s cool.
We had several family and close friend’s bed side telling stories and reminiscing, laughing more and crying some.
At 11:00am our scheduled time for Terri’s departure I asked the staff when we could start and they said the doctors were late we needed to by law
and both were stuck at other hospitals.
It was approximately 11:15, when I asked for the room, everyone left and I shut the door and drew the privacy curtain. Outside the clouds were
obscuring the sun, so the light in the room with a large window was subtle.
I explained to Terri how much I loved her and how I have been dreaming of her every night and I want her back. I told her she fought so hard and so
valiantly, that it was ok and to go to her mother, my dad, her stepmom, all her grandparents, all of her and my relatives, and even our good dog
Bella…they were all waiting to guide her across…
The machines tracking her vitals began to drop steadily, the nurse knocked and entered she tried to bring Terri’s heart rate back up, she said uh
ho. I called my son in law in the lobby and said get everyone in quick.
All arrived in time to see her pass and as she did the clouds parted and the sun came out, the light shone through the window and illuminated her
peaceful face, it was 11:30 am.
The doctors couldn’t figure out how she passed on the machine because she not had another catastrophic failure, she just simply passed and they had
never seen it before and actually said it seemed impossible, I told them my wife was always punctual.
We walked outside to see a magnificent sight of the entire area surrounded by clouds and the sun shining down on this little hospital on top of a
hill.
As we looked up and imagined my wonderful wife’s spirit rising, a lone prison siren wailed from nearby Folsom Prison for just about a half a minute.
Typical Terri she always made a spectacular entrance and exit effortlessly, never late and always in control, she didn’t wait for the doctors and
she didn’t let the machines stop her.
Needless to say that is a rough number for me but I have another Number it is April 22, 1978 one of the best days of my life the day I met my wife 44
years ago.
I was 19 years old and dating a girl, we were going to a hard rock concert at the Whiskey A Go Go in Hollywood on Friday April 21th 1978, that
afternoon she called and said she was sick and couldn’t go. After mentally analyzing a very long list of friends I could ask to attend, I choose to
call Roger who was a guitarist in a Garage Rock Band. I figured he would value the guitar work of the band playing, not one of my closer friends but a
logical choice.
Roger accepted the invitation we drove to Hollywood, rocked out, and drove home. We got off the 605 freeway we were only a couple blocks from my
parents’ house about to turn and Roger turned to me and asked, “Would you like to go to my girlfriend’s apartment, she has a roommate?” it was
12:05 am April 22, 1978.
Being a young red blooded American boy, I said “yes”, and we turned right instead of left. That roommate I met was Terri a stunning blond beauty,
tall, long legs, great shape, and smart as hell, I was in way over my head but somehow it worked she liked me and we began dating …I have never
before or since appreciated which way a car turned more.
Those are my Numbers good and bad.

That is very touching Plook .
Beautifully written my friend .
Eddie RUKidding - 23-4-2023 at 00:24
A touching tribute Plook
Plook - 24-4-2023 at 20:03
Kat went with the girls to pick out her wedding
dress yesterday, of course I am not allowed to see it but she said she wants to wear black...
Eddie RUKidding - 24-4-2023 at 23:08
A good Pirating color
Plook - 25-4-2023 at 00:43
I tried to get her to go for a pirate wedding
but she wasn't going there, I even offered to buy eye patches for everyone...
Plook - 26-4-2023 at 22:06
Kat is sick again!...:shocked:
4 1/2 years the girl was like the Energizer Bunny never sick the past 8 weeks or so, it has been one thing after another...
Currently it is seasonal allergies, it is bad here in Nor Cal this year because of the extremely wet winter following 4 years of draught, we currently
have the largest wild flower bloom state wide of ever...They can be seen from the Space Station, that combined with everything else letting loose with
pollen it is pretty intense this year. I have been having to use Allergy Eye Drops and Flonase almost daily...:wow:
Plook - 29-4-2023 at 04:24
It's Friday Night and while Kat is feeling
better she is not 100% and I got diagnosed with a heart arrythmia and have seen my doctor two days in a row and have to return Tuesday...:shocked:
So we have two ships on the reef...:duh:
Eddie RUKidding - 30-4-2023 at 00:56
Hope all goes well with the doc Plook
Plook - 5-5-2023 at 00:20
I have some updates on my condition, I saw a
cardiologist Tuesday and while some medication has stabilized my arrythmia I will need two procedures.
Both my Primary Doctor and Cardiologist said I can still exercise and ride my bike but not to get my heart rate to high. I leave on vacation to the
Central Coast on next Wednesday and they both said go and have a good time, without doing anything to strenuous.
When I get back, they are going to do a procedure (Cardiologist said in about 30 days from Tuesday) that requires them to put me out and restart my
heart. The first thing that came to mind for me was IT Support “Turn it off and turn it back on”…
The Cardiologist said that most of the time that resets your heart and you are fine, but because I may have been undiagnosed for some unknown time he
wants to follow with a second procedure where they run a camera device up the main artery of the leg to the heart and check for injury, growths, scare
tissue, etc., which they can remove in most cases during that procedure.
As to the cause they did a full blood panel and while I am quite healthy, I had low Thyroid T4 levels (I have no idea what that means) but that can be
the cause although neither Doctor wants to make an assessment of what triggered this until they have more information.
The Cardiologist did explain that 30% of all people over 60 years of age develop arrythmia/afib, the issue was when I saw my Primary Doctor for my
regular check-up last Thursday my blood pressure was good as well as my pulse rate, but during the examine when he was listening to my heart he asked
“Can you feel that?”, I said “What?”, he said your heart.
I did not feel anything he decide to do an EKG and I was in an Afib Arrhythmia he prescribed to two meds to take immediately and wanted me back the
next day. I saw the print out from the EKG and it was all over the place, I read matrix charts and graphs all the time for work and I did not need to
be a doctor to see that pattern was waked out.
The next day after having two doses of meds still had a high heart rate but the pattern was very good, and when they tested me Tuesday it was even
better.
So even though I have exceeded my expiration date they are going to stretch more time out of me like an old block of cheese, trim the edges and keep
using it…:shocked:
Eddie RUKidding - 5-5-2023 at 09:05
Enjoy your Hols Plook and take it easy
polydigm - 5-5-2023 at 09:36
My eldest son has had AF since his early twenties. It's a bit freaky that's for sure. I hope your procedures go well, man.
tinkamok - 5-5-2023 at 12:48
Enjoy a nice relaxing holiday Plook and good luck with your treatment .
Plook - 5-5-2023 at 18:15
Thank you all, I just did my Petit Workout and I feel good...one step at a time...
Plook - 6-5-2023 at 01:31
It's Friday Night but out of an abundance of
caution we are taking out this ship...
But if we get to much wrestling going then OH NO!....:shocked:

Kat and I left on vacation today we are
staying in Morro Bay on the Central Coast, I will keep you all updated...:grin:
Plook - 12-5-2023 at 04:25
Another beautiful day on the Central Coast, it is
exceptional due to the wet winter. Headed to Hearst Castle today it was nearly empty due to a power outage but because we had pre purchased tickets
on-line they took us up to the Castle to find we were the only two on our tour so we had an hour and a half long private tour it was awesome he showed
us stuff you normally don't get to see, it was just great.
When we were on the grounds we saw a bald eagle, very rare sighting in this area but they reestablished the population years ago.
Also made it down to see the elephant seals there were hundreds on the beach.
Eddie RUKidding - 13-5-2023 at 00:54
Makes me think of Xanadu from Citizen Kane. is the Loot of the world still on display
Plook - 14-5-2023 at 16:47
Hello all, we are enjoying our Coastal
Adventure...
When we got to Hearst Castle the parking lot was unusually empty and when we entered the Visitors Center everything was closed. The usually bustling
gift shops, food court, coffee stands dark maybe a dozen or so people walking around, instead of the hundreds.
We went to the ticket center which was open and asked what was going on and they said the power was out, but if you had prepurchase tickets they were
taking people up to the Castle since it was on its own power.
The movie theater was also closed where the show a film about the Hearst family and building of the property.
When we got on our bus there were only a dozen people which is a very small group, only to find out when we reached the Castle that the group was 3
different tours and our tour Designing the Dream (about the building of the property) was only Kat and I.
So we got a private tour in which our guide decided to get into a lot of detail that you normally don't see with a larger group so it was very
unique and enlightening.
Friday we went golfing and while I have been playing good I got my butt handed to me by the course, but the awesome views made it worth it.
We headed to Cambria for the day yesterday to hit the neat little shops and hang out at the beach. Last night we ate dinner at Dorn's Breakers
and had a wonderful dinner.
Today we are headed to SLO (San Luis Obispo) for the day.
Plook - 18-5-2023 at 00:01
We made it back yesterday, it was an awesome trip.
We are back at work today and it is already Hump Day...:grin:
Plook - 20-5-2023 at 02:04
It's Friday Night and we are heading out to
the Ship at Sea...:bouncy:
Plook - 27-5-2023 at 01:25
Well here in the US of A it is Memorial Weekend
which means barbecues...
the Indy 500 (the granddaddy of them all the greatest spectacular in auto racing with the largest single day attendance 300,000+ of any sporting event
in the world)...:shocked:
Monday is a holiday to honor the War Dead...
and on a lighter note I bought my bride to be a dishwasher...LOL...
But if we get lucky tonight we may get our feet wet taking the ship out to sea...:bouncing:
Eddie RUKidding - 27-5-2023 at 23:15
As long as there is no dishwashing involved
Plook - 31-5-2023 at 01:15
The new refrigerator and dishwasher come
tomorrow so Hump day may be punch day...
The Indy 500 was awesome a tire from an accident at 220 mph flew over 100 feet in the air cleared the grandstands full of people and crushed a car in
the parking lot...only at Indy...:shocked:
They scheduled to kill me and bring me back to life June 7th in a week if I decide to stay in the light with my friends The Daughter Plook the Younger
has instructions to make sure to let you all know I decided not to come back...
Eddie RUKidding - 31-5-2023 at 04:01
You will be fine Plook
tinkamok - 31-5-2023 at 08:39
Make sure to wear clean underwear Plook
Plook - 3-6-2023 at 03:19
The refrigerator and dishwasher came in Wednesday
the Refer had a dent but I took it and I'm negotiating a discount with Lowes...:singer:
Wednesday is the day they scheduled for me to die and presumably be brought back...:freak:
So tonight I better get my potentially last round of Friday Night Jellyfish Honey Badger Wrestling in...:bouncing:
So one more time let's get out the boat...:drums:
And away we go mates...:guitar:
Oh Yeah...:guitar2:
tinkamok - 3-6-2023 at 09:44
My best wishes to you Plook .
Plook - 3-6-2023 at 20:57
Thank you Tinkamok I appreciate it...
So I have the landscapers here today tightening the backyard up for the wedding, they trimmed the trees, pulled all the old rock out of the flower
beds flattened everything out and are putting new Fog Cobble in and playground bark under the trees where the hammock is, they are adding
"batter" boards (sometimes called bender boards) to hold the rocks and cleaning up all the river rock that goes around the perimeter.
I used to refresh the rocks and bark about every 3 years but after Terri got sick I stopped doing it and it was last done in 2011...:wow:
They got an early start...:drums:
They repurposed the old rock around the house and in the front yard flower beds
These trees were trimmed and I am going to add a privacy blind for the neighbors...
Hopefully it doesn't effect Plookhedge on the summer solstice the sun rises between the trees, people from all over come to see it here is last
years crowd...
I will get some good pictures when they are done, I also opened my pool area it looks smashing...:grin:
Eddie RUKidding - 3-6-2023 at 23:38
Looking good Plook
polydigm - 4-6-2023 at 10:18
Plook, my son has had this procedure several times and it does not involve dying.
Plook - 6-6-2023 at 00:47
Poly I understand most people have no issue with Cardioversion, the death rate is 1.4% which is low so when they stop your heart and it doesn't
start you are dead...I fully expect to be here the next day but for an example the IT guy at work once told me to turn my computer off and turn it
back on and I turned off my computer and it never came back on...:shocked:
Plook - 6-6-2023 at 01:09
The backyard came out really nice I pretty much

Garden is looking great Plook .
Best of luck for tomorrow .

My results from my Cardiogram came back all Normal, they image your heart and measure every vain and valve for blockage, this is excellent news since
it means I did not have something else causing the issue such as a damaged valve or blocked vain which means the simple restart should fit the
bill...I am very relieved concerning this news.
BBP - 6-6-2023 at 21:31
Good news Plook!
Plook - 6-6-2023 at 23:12
Yes, I was worried that maybe some other new issue was causing the Arrythmia, but apparently not...so now I just need to survive the heart restart
tomorrow.
Plook - 7-6-2023 at 21:12
Had my Cardioversion procedure this morning and
all went well the doctor shouted "Its Alive"!
I got footage from the Hospital...:wow:
The downside the ship has to stay in drydock for a couple of days...:shocked:
tinkamok - 7-6-2023 at 21:25
Good to hear all is well Plook .
Eddie RUKidding - 8-6-2023 at 04:12
Good to hear Plook
polydigm - 8-6-2023 at 13:58
I’m shocked!
Plook - 8-6-2023 at 23:39
I actually have a mark on my chest from the
jolt, I can now wear my lightening bolt t-shirt with more meaning to it.
Plook - 22-6-2023 at 01:36
Well folks its been a minute we are very busy here
at Plook Palace preparing for the wedding and getting the house ready for Kat to move in...:grin:
We did the yard and some repairs around the house early on and in the middle of that I was at the store and Kat was taking a shower when she called
and said the cold water would not turn off. When I got home I could turn the knob but the water flowed on. I shut the water main and took it apart and
there was an extra screw inside the pipe that was obstructing the the valve, it had to be in there for years possible decades because refitted the
shower in 2008 and put new valves in even though the old ones were not broken and all the parts were on the ones we removed. Apparently it got
dislodged from its resting place and got between the valve and pipe, very mysterious but such is life.
We have been doing deep cleaning to get closets cleared I have not touched in years it is turning out to be a bit of a treasure hunt and a tour down
memory lane.
We also cleaned out most of my garage which had becomes eveyones catch all for storing stuff and also the final resting place for tons of junk and
boxes...lol...
Well I will try to get more updates in as we go we are now working on my office closet which is a true gold mine and I found something in there you
may all remember...To Be Continued...:puzzled:
Plook - 29-6-2023 at 00:36
Well we are at the 10 day countdown to the Plook Wedding, we continue a long series
of projects with some highlights as follows:
When we were cleaning out my office closet (The so called Gold Mine) I found the talisman that Gray Ghost sent Terri along with the awesome 4 page
story and map...Kat read the story and said it moved her and she was amazed, I took the piece to a jeweler had it put on a silver chain and I have
been wearing it ever since (it is a healing piece and my back got better 3 days after I put it on)...
I cleaned out my garage and now every time I open the door from the house a choir sings "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"....
We applied for our wedding license on-line and are meeting at the County Clerk tomorrow to show them our ID's and get our copy...
The Daughter Plook the Younger is our wedding planner and she is kicking butt getting everything ready...:bouncing:
The painters got here today and power washed and will paint the house trim tomorrow and possibly touch up the pool deck...:grin:
Saturday H-dog and Q-A-Don (My Quanon Maintence guy) are coming over to do some inside repairs (fix floor in hall that got water damage, replace fan
in dining room that is on the fritz, and some other small items) and we are going to pre-build the "Shanty" that will house the DJ and
possible a bar, we will number the pieces and take it down so we can rebuild it quickly next weekend...:guitar2:
On another note I still have not heard from Gray Ghost it has been 3 months since he last visited the Goose and since he emailed me saying he needed
some rest, hopefully he will pop-up soon.
tinkamok - 29-6-2023 at 10:46
^^ Fingers crossed Grey Ghost is ok ^^
Plook - 11-7-2023 at 21:48
Well there is a Mr. & Mrs. Plook the wedding
went off on Saturday like a champ, the Daughter Plook the Younger was my wedding planner and everyone could not believe she was not a professional
because she did such a bang up job.
I will load you all up with pictures when I get them, I did not even carry my phone during the wedding and reception.
Tinkamok, Kat wanted we to thank you for the wonderful card you sent, it arrived the day of the wedding so you got the first card in very kind of you.

Well done Plook
Plook - 15-7-2023 at 15:53
The show at the Baked Potato with Benny Rietveld
was awesome at one point they added a Gal singer and had an extra sax player they had 12 people on the tiny stage 2 singers, drums, bass, guitar,
keyboards, percussions, and a 5 piece horn section. Their jazz and blues were very reminiscent of FZ Hot Rats period, they did an excellent cover of
"You can't always get what you want" as well as a song from a Broadway show he had seen that was incredible.
Yesterday we did our Paramount Studios tour which was totally cool and the lunch was made by Opera's chef. We have tons of pictures of all sorts
of stuff.
We got our share of bumper to bumper traffic since we drove thru downtown LA 5 times in 3 days.
We headed to Bayshore to hang out at the boat slip yesterday afternoon it was spectacular then ate dinner on 2nd Street in Belmont Shores at
"Open Sesame" an excellent Lebanese Restaurant.
We are getting reedy to drive up to the high dessert to see Terri's Dad, Kat suggested I should go since he is getting along in years and has
some medical issues and it may be the last time I get to see him...Kat is smart!
We meet the old posse for dinner tonight that should be great fun!
