BuffJim Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share #2  Posted October 11, 2020 Do you guys keep up with work email while on vacation? I usually read it and answer the ones I can. I have a company smart phone. Also have my computer, but I don’t plan on cracking it open. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My direct staff can text me if there is an issue I alone can handle, but fortunately they never do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All banks, public offices and schools are also closed today for BuffCarla’s birthday.  We have dinner reservations tonight at the Hotel’s Restaurant.

Give Carla a happy birthday kiss on the cheek from me.  I hope your vacation is better than Parr8's. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re headed to the Hudson Valley (Kingston) in 15 minutes. Went to a restaurant down by the river a bit ago - Mariner's Harbor. I enjoyed it and my food was good. But it was nice enough to eat outside when we went. Be careful about parking. At the public lot where I parked, unless you downloaded some local parking app, you needed a bunch of quarters for the parking meter which seemed very old fashioned. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the Karen who was screeching at us in line for not being 8 feet away. Once we boarded she was on a different deck, so we didn’t have to beat her up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
