The Official Status Update Thread: Part 164 - Back to School!

Well if he posted that he fell in the river, it means his phone survived the trip down the river ... no?

I would assume so. Unless he called to let her know from a friends phone after the incident.

Eight more and I will end up ahead of KJQ.

 

[RevoWood123]

Sylvain, you're starting to let things slip a little here. You should be posting while waiting for your pizza to bake. You could be using that precious time to extend your lead.

 

[RevoWood123]

Now tied with chock.

 

[RevoWood123]

One ahead of him and 3 away from KJQ

 

[RevoWood123]

It really has been a slow Sunday here. Usually Greg, Chock, KJQ, Sam and a few others are around. I guess that the super nice weather we are having today is reason for people to be outside.

 

[Sylvain]

Pizza is ready!

 

[RevoWood123]

I kind of feel like I am talking to myself in here.

Other than the misfortune that your son is experiencing, how are you doing mom?

I'm hanging in there and doing my best to focus on other things than his trip. I'm enjoying the photos and updates he has shared so far. Lost a good friend on Friday and had family reunion yesterday so lots of other things to deal with and focus on.

This was the last update he posted on his FB page that we set up for the trip. He hasn't been online since he posted it. He does have a tablet with him as well so should be ale to post online with that when he has wifi available. He has his new camera that takes the 360 degree pics and his digital camera with him as well so I am assuming he wasn't carrying those when he fell in the water.

Sooo... fell in a river yesterday when wading through to climb a mountain and now my phone's jacked. AND my backup phone isn't being accepted by sprint. So that's great.
That being said, it was still an amazing day. I woke up in a tent next to a lake full of icebergs, saw tons of insane places and landscapes that felt like they belonged on another planet, climbed a mountain barefoot (after falling in the river; my shoes were drying) and drove through easily >30 rivers.
As frustrating as the bad things were, going on this trip is without a doubt the best decision I've ever made.

What ended up on the pizza?

 

[mom45]

I had the carcass from the chicken I roasted in the refrigerator so I made chicken soup for supper. Made bread to go with it. I picked the garden and made another gallon and a half of refrigerator dills. Did cheeseburgers on the grill for lunch.

Need to do some other stuff, but got online to find the neighbor's funeral arrangements and haven't moved.

 

[Sylvain]

It's yummy, the chef is good!

 

[RevoWood123]

Reunions are always good to see people you haven't seen in a while. I am sorry to hear about your friend, its never easy to lose people we care about, I'll keep you in my prayers.

 

[mom45]

I need a chef

 

[Sylvain]

What ended up on the pizza?

Gruyere, goat cheese, brie, ham, mushrooms, olives and other stuff.

Doesn't sound bad at all. Hey Mom, why don't you hire Sylvain to be your chef?

Thanks. She was a good friend to us. My kids called her grandma, and my daughter is taking this particularly hard. My son was not as close to her, but is aware she has passed. My daughter and I did get to spend some time with her at the hospital last week so at least we got to say our goodbyes. It was a little bit of surprise though as when we last saw her, they were discussing the possibility of taking her to rehab a day or two later. She took a turn for the worse and didn't make it there.

 

[Sylvain]

My Hoosier lady friend liked my cooking, she thought it was weird to put eggs on pizza ... but she loved it.

No eggs on this one.

I was hoping he would just take the hint and offer.

I don't think Mrs. G would mind sharing her boy toy with me.
