YK Thom Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Had a fantastic weekend. Our annual Masonic Installation, which as in years past featured a very large contingent from Grand Lodge in Alberta. We had 18 brethren and wives come up this year. Had them out dogsledding Friday afternoon, a late luncheon and a fairly scotch infused meet and greet that evening. The women were taken around town shopping and such by the local wives whilst we were doing the actual Installation. The whole thing comes to a head with a large banquet complete with dancing band Saturday night. A lot of hand shaking and such and my Sunday morning hangover morphed into a full on cold/flu. Have been down for the count since. Upside...the wife is at work and I've had time to recoup listening to albums the wife is not keen on as well as some of my favourite classical CDs uninterrupted. Should be back up and about tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 hope you feel better soon. I haven’t had a cold in three years...roommate has one right now; but, i’m hoping to avoid it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Thanks and have fingers crossed for you. I seem to get a monstrous one every year. Have enjoyed the "me time" listening. In fact because of most people being at work I kicked the volume up higher than I normally do. Thankfully I didn't end up with plugged ears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 When I'm down for the count I like to play funeral dirges and Scottish bagpipe music. Kinda fits the mood of being sick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Our household has a cold going around. I'm trying not to get it. Thom the dog sledding sounds like a lot fun. Now that is something I've never thought of trying. I've been to Quebec a couple of times in the winter and did some horseback riding and snow snowmobiling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 The Alberta guy's get a real kick out of it. My wife's family has kennels, race and do tourist rides. The little buggers can really go and get very excited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtisCampbell Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I usually do Westerns and bad Sci-Fi on the tube with a bourbon hot toddy when I have a bad cold.. great way to pass the day in semi-delirium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that don't bring someone around, nothing will. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
