    Moved on to the rain forest/volcano at Arenal

    @theyolksonyou
    They have peacock bass in the lake there at the base.  Are you going to wet a line for one?

    And how cool is that windy road going to the base of the volcano?  I so wanted to drive it with MY car. The rental was about 85 hp and the loosest steering I have ever felt. It was hairy in that thing.

    Tabacon hot springs was a cool place.  Loved the different temperatures as you went down to the main pool. I remember drinking some tropical coconut drink watching the monkeys swing in a few nearby trees. I also remember telling my wife I was going to go join them after the 4th or 5th drink.  She did not let me. Hot water and drinks apparently make you devolve and want to swing in the trees with monkeys. Beware.....

    Have a a great time!

    @Sea2Ski we're staying at Arenal springs. They have a similar set up of pools. Headed to rappel and white water raft tomorrow.

    @Focker -  congrats to your dad, especially on Father's Day.  And Honor Flight is a tremendous program.  I serve on the board of the Honor Flight Bluegrass chapter (Louisville. KY) and have made several flights to DC.  Every trip is more powerful than the last.  
    @lousubcap,
    Thanks my friend.
    Really cool you're on the board, and have done flights.
    I agree 100%, a tremendous program.

    Son got some early 9th B-Day stuff, hat and guitar.


    Dad pulled in some serious hardware yesterday at a mustache and beard comp in Galesburg's Orpheum Theater, called Shave For The Brave.  Proceeds go to Honor Flight QC.  He won best mustache.  He has had it since Nam, never shaved it off.  So happy for him.  He just asked me to accompany him, and my uncle Ray, on their Honor Flight as their guardian with my aunt Arlene .  Both have cancer.  Truly honored.  A great Father's Day.



    Really cool. Enjoy your time together. 
    Thanks Pete.  Our oncologists thought it was funny he scheduled his chemo around this comp.  They'll get a kick out of this Tuesday when we're there, and he shows them pics. 
    Hell, I'd bring the trophy too. Way cool!
    Me too! Lol

    Thanks bud.  Check your Targets.  It cannot be beat for a grab and go.  I did burgers, dogs, and corn earlier for lunch at a friend's house.

    Just got back from Centre College, which is hosting the Governor's Scholar Program. Only 36 were chosen from over 4000 applicants. Our son recieved offers for both architectural design and visual arts. Only the second student in the program's 40 years to receive multiple offers. We are very proud parents, his gift has got to be from his mother.
    Congrats @YukonRon you must be proud.  However I'm sorry you had to lower yourself to go to Centre.  Transylvania grad here. ;)
    Transy girls were easy. UK grad here. Just kidding, or am I? B)

    Yes!  I did.  Picked up that and some extra sick and personal time too.  Have 5 weeks vacation time.  Cannot remember how much sick and personal time total now.

    Good friends are those that will help you move a piano.   I asked them if they would help move stuff out of the house being remodeled. I failed to inform them a piano was in the deal.
