Oldblue it is always good to hear a little good news.

On another front it is time to pack up and leave this morning for York, Pa. for the TCA train show. Seven buildings full of toy trains.

 

Soooooooooooooo jealous Ron, as I feared, my flight schedule has mucked up my chances of making it to York.

Drool over some nice trains for me, and have a safe trip Buddy.

 

I ordered the graphics for my Panel...when they come I got Eve and Bea on standby (and wearing very little) to apply them.

 

I though about Paddy sitting quietly in the corner of the hanger vacated by the King Air 350i I'm piloting on this trip, and what my "loyal and ever helpful employees" will do to him before I get back.

I'm figuring on the usual "Remove Before Flight" pitot tube cover on the antenna, a "Remove Gust Locks" flag on the rear wiper, four black and yellow "Aircraft Wheel Chocks" deployed properly in front of, and in back of the landing gear(rear wheels).

But I get the feeling that they're going to try topping their last "Big Joke" on the Boss when they filled him with ping-pong balls thanks to my Secretary/Assistant/Auxiliary Brain named Lynn.

They know the rules, they can prank me as long as they don't so much as leave a fingerprint on my paint, but if they break something...their butts are grass.

P.S. Sorry I missed your text Oldblue, I was drooling over Lionel trains at a hobby shop. Prayers said, fingers crossed, and anxiously awaiting word on Helen's biopsy.

We're all thinking of you two, keep kicking a$$ Helen!!!

 

Not much today till we get the results of the biopsy.
I'll post the results here, when I get them.

 

Oldblue lets all hope for the best. Trip was good, bought too much but all good. Mike I bought almost all prewar. I picked up a nice restored 150. For those interested it was produced between 1918 and 1923, and it still runs.

 

The preliminary biopsy shows a very promising low cancer cell count! Her Dr. Asked that we be patient until the full biopsy has been completed, but her white blood cell count is up and going up!
Her ANC count is up!
Her platelets and hemoglobin numbers are up!
This means she does not have to go back on chemotherapy at this time!
And is a little closer to kicking the cancer to the curb!!!!

So for today, I ask we crank up a lttle known Canadian artist!!




Hear y'all at 6:00!!!

 

Oh, you mean Eilleen Regina Edwards from Windsor, Ontario. We done heard of her down in the Southland, she was married to some dude named Pekinese, err...Airdale, nope...err Mutt, yeah that's it.

The news is great Oldblue, and your texts yesterday had me grinning from ear to ear, then my phone croaked.

Consider Eillleen..err...Shania Cranked at 6!

Last night's Crank It song for your Sweetie was by another Canadian.

Tom Cochrane - Life Is A Highway

Through all these cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber pass to Vancouver's lights
Knock me down get back up again
You're in my blood I'm not a lonely man

Keep kickin' butt and takin' names Helen.

 

Wonderful news, Oldblue! Keep them tunes crankin'!

 

At 1:29 is this someone from here? And would they admit it?
