I want to take a cruise to Antarctica on a smaller research vessel, not the super large cruise ships. I know the Drake passage is rough!

I researched cruises a year or two ago. There's a long-ass one that bounces up and back the coast of South America and spends a bit of time in Antarctica. I think it would be fascinating.


It's 5 months, I think.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Are you buying it?

It's not all-the-way for sale - yet. I'll buy it if it's reasonable. I'm not paying them $20K for it.

We had one booked for next year …. Then the bastards pulled the ship off the route so we are heading to Japan instead!

As long as Mrs. W doesn't mind, you can push my wheelbarrow!

I think that I can safely say that she'd join you.

Good morning geezers and wheelbarrow pushers..... Hope everyone is well. Having my coffee of course. Got work to do and also some job searching to do (time to get something new) and a quick trip to my daughter's dorm to drop off some meds for her because I'm at least a better than mediocre dad lol

 

[Dayhoosier]

Not here, either. It's been raining for days. 🌧

The rain moved out and apparently winter? Decided to move in. This is ridiculous

Just had to hand in ammo I found while clearing through someone’s loft after he died. 9mm paraellum and .303. Caught with that and it’s a long spell in the slammer and all my guns gone!

Yeah… know your laws! Wow!!

The kids went to Japan a year or two ago.


It's not on my list, bucket or otherwise.


My grandfather went on one of Uncle Sam's Southeast Asian Tours that he used to run regularly.

Rough cruise

I can think of good and bad reasons to take that cruise. One that comes to mind is that it is great as long as you don't get sea sick. I boated for years on a lake with no big waves at all. When I lost sight of the horizon I would start to feel ill. Otherwise that looks like fun.

SHES probably the one who’d say “I wouldn’t be caught dead with a pink wheeelbarrow!”

Now that I think about it. I wonder how long a ski rope you would need!

Agree!

Another place for viruses to incubate are cruise ships. No way, no matter the incentive will I ever go on one.

 

[Wonderer67]

Good morning early risers and afternoon to our folks over the “big water”.

It’s bitter cold in the 20s with a wicked wind. The day’s plan is to walk the mall then head to a coffee house. I will check in on my GF about the little viral incubators.

Getting old is a pain, literally! I’m going for an MRI in a few months about my hip pain. The last MRI detected something suspicious of about 1 cm on the hip ball. I have a feeling a hip replacement is in my future.

All I can say is keep moving B2!!

Had to go to the doc the other day, and she said, “dude, you’re not 20 anymore, you gotta treat your body a little bit like it’s 57.”

Yeah…

I feel your pain!

We're not talking "with," we're talking "in."

Yeah…

Somebody has to show the snot-nosed kids not only that it can be done but how to do it.

I was in the dr office last week. A Stones song was playing and I was thinking how far we've come! No way any Stones songs would have been played in the dr office when they came out!

We had real MUZAK playing in the bathrooms and cafeteria at work. Then - not sure who or why - one day abt a year ago, they started playing really good classic rock.

Now I’m peeing in the bathroom and I might hear Alice cooper, The Who, Creedence, The Kinks, The Stones…

Def a step in the right direction!
