James T. Kirk: Other than that I'm GREAT. Oct 18, 2025 14:36:32 GMT -6
lowell: I'm still playing taxi for the flute player's school kids. She tutors them and teaches piano and flute, and guitar for them. Saturday is a very busy day for her. Oct 18, 2025 19:49:26 GMT -6
lowell: She wants me to accompany her for her Christmas concert that she and the kids put on. We may be playing the first and third movement of Kuhlau's Grand Trio in G Major. The third movement is a Rondo. Oct 18, 2025 19:53:39 GMT -6
lowell: I still have pain sometimes in my back, from a tendon that was damaged when the Japanese Quince poked a thorn into it, while I was removing the bush. I hope you recover quickly and completely from that major surgery. Oct 18, 2025 20:01:32 GMT -6
James T. Kirk: Yhanks. I've come a long way already. I've been told it takes 6 months or more to get back to normal. I'm hoping my new normal wiii be better than my old normal which really wasn't all that bad. I had myself in pretty good shape before the surgery. Oct 19, 2025 12:04:47 GMT -6
James T. Kirk: Played golf for the first time since August and while my game is rusty I had no physical issues. I walked over 11000 steps (5+ miles) on a pretty hilly course and never felt winded or tired. The surgery and physical therapy have made a difference. Nov 8, 2025 9:58:34 GMT -6
lowell: 1 Day ago SpaceX Starship Lost Over The Indian Ocean After Losing Attitude Control During Flight 9. Nov 13, 2025 2:12:08 GMT -6
lowell: Friday morning a next-generation Starship booster prototype exploded during testing. Nov 21, 2025 22:38:11 GMT -6
James T. Kirk: Lowell, I hope the flooding in the Pacific northwest isn't having any negative affect on you or your fmaily. Stay safe. Dec 13, 2025 6:16:18 GMT -6
lowell: I live on a hill. Even so some water seeps into the basement. It is unfinished and has a drain so it can't hurt too much. The seepage is a result of my digging up the sewer pipes that were made of concrete. Dec 13, 2025 21:04:25 GMT -6
lowell: The concrete pipes are called "tile" and they consist of a tube with a flared bell like end. Earthquakes break the lead seal and a neighbor's pussy willow tree grew into one of the connections. I replaced with black pvc pipe. Dec 13, 2025 21:06:08 GMT -6
lowell: I didn't separate the clay from the topsoil and as a result water can penetrate under the basement wall. It might help if I rent a compactor and try to make the fill more dense that way. I used a shovel, but I was younger then. Dec 13, 2025 21:08:00 GMT -6
James T. Kirk: Hey Lowell. How have you been? I haven't posted on any of these boards in forever. Are you posting anywhere besides here? Jun 18, 2026 10:21:54 GMT -6
lowell: I worked on a couple of my cars. I replaced the radiator in one and had the alternator replaced in another. It was under warranty. Recently I've been mowing the lawn. I have a lot of lawn area because it's a corner lot. I don't visit any other boards. Jun 19, 2026 19:32:01 GMT -6
lowell: Every now and then I find a story that cheers me up, and I share it. Jun 19, 2026 19:34:36 GMT -6
James T. Kirk: Glad to hear you are well. Have a happy Father's Day my friend. Jun 20, 2026 6:21:31 GMT -6
lowell: Thanks Kirk, I got beer and coffee for Father's Day. I trust you were celebrated by family and friends too. Jun 24, 2026 1:01:42 GMT -6
James T. Kirk: Both are necessities for sure. Yes, I had a very nice day as well. Happy Independence Day and 250th Birthday to our country. Seems like the 200th wasn't that long ago. Time does fly. Jul 3, 2026 15:31:52 GMT -6
lowell: I remember the 200th anniversary. The leader of NSA had a replica of the Liberty Bell created by the same company that made the original, Whitechapel Foundry in England. I had the opportunity to ring it. It sounded magical and entrancing. Jul 5, 2026 1:28:18 GMT -6
lowell: The beauty of the sound of the bell was part of its undoing. The continuous and vigorous ringing of it probably resulted in it cracking. Those of us in the group who rang it were only allowed one ring and it was allowed to stop ringing before another. Jul 5, 2026 1:32:58 GMT -6
