My wife bought me a Mickey Mantle’s signed baseball and plaque. My friend Frank Tepedino played for the Yankees in the 60’s alongside Mantle in the outfield.My friends Jim and Johnny graduated Manual Training HS with Pepitone .I heard a lot about Joe’s time as a Yankee.

Ken at the beach Posted September 25, 2022 #72202 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Good news is this is not my ankle. Bad news is it's Vikki's. We were at her brothers new house a couple hours away for dinner and I had left to come home and let Merlin out when my daughter let me know that this happened. With so many cars in the driveway Vikki went to get something out of her car and stepped off the edge of the driveway into a ditch. Her brother took her to the hospital and apparently it's broken and dislocated. They were only there 45 minutes and apparently they are now on their way home (to her parents place that's close to her brothers). Just waiting to find out the full extent of her injury and what the treatment plan is. Looks like she will be off work for at least the next little while. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That takes time. So, while sitting on the deck tonight at the lake house, a flock of Starlings (is that a thing) flew overhead, first time I have seen one. They are way faster, than regular satellites, but unmistakeable. jc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that sucks, hope she feels better real soon. Looks painful, hopefully they gave her something. Can't believe they sent her home and didn't admit her into the hospital.? What are they thinking?

St. Johns..Bay of Fundy Halifax We're leaving from Cape Liberty on Thursday. With the hurricanes, tropical depressions, etc. we've decided not to park at the pier and instead have asked our daughter to drop us off there....we're just a little over an hour away. Halifax got hit hard yesterday/today by the hurricane. According to NBC it was the strongest storm ever to hit…. As if they have always known what happened in Nova Scotia a 1000 years ago…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikki is still at the hospital waiting on xray results and what they are going to do. They did give her some happy pills. Just got a text from Vikki who said apparently she smiled as they put the dislocation back in place. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted September 25, 2022 #72213 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Finally back home after traveling for most of the day. We got to the Miami airport at 9:30am for a 2:10pm flight. Had to wait to check bags and of course there were no chairs. Then the flight got delayed. Luckily we had a over two hour layover in St. Louis. With the delay we only waiting in St Louis for an hour. The pups were very happy to see us as you can imagine. tomorrow I will start my review. I have lots of competition with Benny Bruns live review. It’s interesting as his take on some things are a complete opposite of mine. Bottom line everything is subjective. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankful you made it home safe. You probably remember that Miami airport is were are crazy cancellations started last October. If I remember correctly this was your 1st time to use the TSA thing. How did you like it. I wonder if the Miami TSA line improved. Looking forward to the review. I am looking forward to seeing how you liked the UDP. Three more weeks until we will use it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in Calif. and most stations are at $5.59🙀 I’m using that as my justification to be on another cruise😹. Currently in Vancouver and boarding Serenade OTS tomorrow. Stay well, and back to catching up. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's doing well. It was IV drugs that they gave her along with a sedative when they relocated her dislocated ankle. Keeping her overnight to watch for infection as the bone did pierce the skin. Did a CT scan in addition to the xray. Orthopedic surgeon may need to put a plate and a screw in tomorrow morning. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
