rocksbride Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) I MISS THE CLACKING OF HIS KEYS... About this time every day HERO Maker is usually pounding away on the keys in a hot HDT-related discussion or some other cyber adventure. He's been south of the border for a week and it's very quiet in his corner of the trailer. Thought I ought to raise a flag on his behalf in the HDT forum so those used to the daily e-convo don't think he fell off the face of Google maps... or Garmina took him somewhere beyond her powers to RECALCULATE. He should pop up at home for a few hours Wednesday, only to head south again Thursday for another week, followed by a third after a 2 more days in the States. He'll only be home 3 days in 3 weeks. HERO Maker and his band of brothers are working on several projects at 2 different Mexican children's homes and from the photos Rock looks like a man in his element. Here's the link to the pix - new ones upload every night shortly after 11 p.m. flickr.com/photos/heromakers/collections/ The HERO Makers took the primary project from bare slab to decking a roof in 3 or 4 days. Pretty awesome. This is why we sold the house and went full-time in the first place - so Rock could be where he needs to be. Looks like the plan is working. Oh yeah, home - currently Kitty and I are holding down the fort in Mission, TX, at least through February 3. There's lots to do before he gets home, but tonight I miss the low-level commotion usually coming from the Bi-Z-Man Recliner in the corner.

kingskids Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Good to hear from you Sheri - I was starting to wonder what you are up to these days... FYI, the link you gave has too much code in it and it won't work. Check the link, it's got too many "http"s and "www"s in it. It works if you manually take those out of the url after opening the page - but many don't know how to do that. LOADS of pictures! You're doing a great job on the albums! I don't have the time to go thru them all, but the first "taste" of it looked great! You and kitty (really need to give that poor cat a real name!) keep each other company and time will pass quicker than you think it will - you know what they say, time flies when we get older!

rocksbride Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hey Sharon, thanks for taking a few minutes to check out pix and the heads-up on the link. It should work fine now. I can't believe you don't have time to look at 15,963 photos in the HERO Makers' photo stream! LOL At least that was the count a few minutes ago. Looks like the guys got all the walls insulated today. Pretty amazing. Even more so when you realize most of the volunteers don't have a construction background. It's cold and damp in the RGV. Where are you all right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingskids Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Sheri - good job on fixing the link - works perfect. You'll be shocked to hear that I still haven't had time to look at 15,963 pictures! Does look like a great team who can work together well and make things look great. Out here in "deep east" Texas - it's been damp and cold for almost the whole month we've been here - but we "supposedly" have 5 days in a row of decent looking SUNNY days - even warm enough (mid 60's) to get out on the boat and catch some dinners... You ladies stay warm and safe if you're out on the roads! Quote Richard & Sharon For Sale - 2005 Freightliner Century RV Hauler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donf888 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Stlll "stranded" in N. Calif -- currently, Sou. SF Elks, awaiting help from the 4 siblings who took vacation in Ph. since mid-Jan... they return to SFO later this week. Maybe(?) then, we'll be able to head down/over to AZ... time will tell. We're grateful to have the health we have that we can take care of a sibling nearly 10 years younger, that we can help for a bit of time. Hope (and plan) to be at the AZ-closet the rest of winter & part of spring, once we get there -- in time for MLB spring training & end of square dance season!
