Rush: Well…I guess I am back to ‘normal”!

Matt1: Hope the unpacking is going well?

Rush: Slow, but coming along.

Rush: But we are here.

Matt1: Good, thnx….Just went out for the night to meet In-Laws for Father’s Day brunch

Rush: Still recovering from the trip, I have to admit!

Matt1: Find the film for tonight? lol

Rush: Yes! πŸ™‚

Rush: I am already cued up!

Rush: Still using my old DVD set.

Matt1: Black market?

Rush: The Fox sets are still packed.

Matt1: Ah

Rush: Grey.

Rush: Old Time Radio U.K.

Rush: Around 2000.

Matt1: Yes, mine are somewhere

Matt1: The remastered are bulky, but so much nicer

Rush: We had a spectacular lightning show last night!

Rush: Yes.

Matt1: You get Tornadoes out there, no?

Rush: Never experienced continuous lightning flashes and thunder that just continued to rumble!

Rush: They can happen…but rare, thankfull!

Matt1: Love watching, from a distance

Rush: The wind DID kick up a lot though last night.

Matt1: Good….Are you close to American Pickers?

Rush: From a distance…yes!

Rush: πŸ™‚

Rush: Yes! Just down the road in Le Claire.

Rush: Maybe six or so miles away.

Matt1: Have you been to the shop yet? I’d love to stop in some day

Rush: Yes, we have!

Matt1: Oh WOW!

Rush: Twice before!

Matt1: That is SO cool

Rush: I think that the sister of the lady on the show works in that store.

Rush: She sort of looked like her.

Rush: A relative, maybe.

Matt1: That show really took off

Rush: YES!

Rush: I really like to watch it.

Matt1: Don’t know what ever happened to Frank though

Rush: I guess we could look that up!

Matt1: We looked once, but really couldn’t find anything for sure….back issues to taking a break from the season

Rush: I copied this just now:

Rush: Frank had taken a break during seasons 8 and 9 and took to Facebook to explain his absence, writing: β€œA lot of you have been wondering about my health and my weight loss.

Rush: “I have an illness called Crohn’s [disease], which at times is difficult to deal with. I started losing weight and ran with it!

Adding: “I have been exercising and eating good… Thanks for all of your kind words of concern! I couldn’t do what I do without all of you!”

Rush: Health concerns, it seems.

Matt1: I didn’t know he was on FB…..I follow Mike….Actually wished him a Happy Birthday a few years ago….and he replied right back….pretty cool

Rush: That’s GREAT!

Rush: He seems like a nice guy on TV.

Matt1: Genuine

Rush: GREAT to hear!

Rush: I love tghat!

Rush: (that)

Matt1: Are you set up in your new Chan area tonight?

Rush: It was REALLY hot for our first couple of days here! However, it cooled down a lot today!

Matt1: Chan Cave

Rush: Sort of set up, yes.

Rush: YES! πŸ™‚

Rush: I have a lot of baseball things, too.

Rush: Autographed balls, etc. that I should have room for now!

Matt1: Cool….MLB game will be a tough drive now

Rush: Yes, but we would have a few reachable choices!

Matt1: We’re HUGE baseball fans

Rush: I want to go to some of our minor league team’s games.

Matt1: More intimate

Rush: They have a GREAT ballpark here!

Rush: Quad City River Bandits…take a look.

Matt1: Who are they affiliated with?

Matt1: Beautiful!

Rush: Milwaukee Brewers

Rush: Used to be the astros.

Rush: When we came through here the first time way back in 1992, we stopped to take a look inside the ballpark.

Rush: It’s been upgraded since then, but it was nice before, too!

Matt1: I mean, what a view!

mda19083 has joined this room

Rush: I think CC is less than impressed with Mr. Romano.

Rush: “Why did John Ryder lie?”
