So my father in law was admitted to Tampa General Hospital for chest pains yesterday morning. I stepped out for a walk around the river and snapped these of the Hillsborough River looking towards Tampa and under the bridge is headed to Davis Island. Several Yamaha boats cruising the river but I missed them in the photos.

Hope your FIL is doing ok. Chest pains are scary, even when it turns out to be something mild or easily treatable.

One of approximately 20 more ships coming in for ore pellets before the Soo Locks close up the Great Lakes shipping season on January 15th.
I was working the ore dock one night (In Escanaba) about 20 years ago when this ship had to winch it self down the dock because it was slightly overloaded and stuck on the bottom. It was quite a site seeing a thousand footer slowly budging it's way out of the sand with a full load. I'm thinking it was around 60,000 tons of ore.

Thanks. Looks like it turned out to be a chest infection from something, we still don’t know where from though. Seems to be doing better and should be released tomorrow.

hit NYC for the birthdays with some of the club members!
 
The property we bought last year has a guest house from the 40’s. Maybe early 50’s. It’s a borderline tear down but it’s 15 feet from the water so yadda yadda…permits… it’s arguably easier to repair then replace.

Saw this on my way home from work yesterday. I think he’s sniffing glue lol.

Tomorrow night I leave to Colombia for the next few months and I'll work remote. Guess what? My 15 month old PC gives a random blue screen and it doesn't boot back up. Then I start to panic. I swapped the RAM and GPU without luck. No time to deal with this before my flight and when i'm in Colombia. So.. Time for an early upgrade.

I'll have to find out what happened to my old PC when I get back. It will boot to the bios screen but indefinitely show "Repairing windows". Once it made it to the windows login but it was extremely slow and wouldn't load after entering my passcode. I'm thinking bad motherboard or corrupt drive. I remember that a week ago it randomly restarted while I was working.

That's probably enough horse power to get most things done.:)

Good luck, hopefully see you on Lake George this summer! Stay safe and enjoy!

Thanks! I think that I need to reserve the campsites soon. They fill up fast. I was lucky last year to find the campsite when I did.

We just booked for two trips this past weekend, more north at Rogers rock for one, and Hearthstone for the other.
 
Very colorful day in store.

I'm right under the second R in Rochester. We got the rain all night, then some nice snow between 5 and 6am, and now we'll have that "wintry mix" all day that can't decide what it wants to do.
