Grrr... trying to free up a paper jam in my HP printer and really needing needle-nosed pliers. Only I don't have any at hand. Wonder if the wife has such a tool in her sewing machine gear. She's at Bingo tonight. I'll have to ask her in the morning.

I won this Correspondence Chess game a few minutes ago with a Queen-Knight Combination Checkmate.

Later this afternoon, Sylvia and I are being taken out to a Texas Roadhouse for an early dinner. I've been looking over their online menu and ... drooling. :)

Midday Tuesday and all is well in the Roscoe-verse. This morning I cut away a big, deformed toenail that has become increasingly bothersome in recent years. Now I can walk MUCH easier!

This afternoon I received an automated reminder call from a doctor's office about an appointment I supposedly have with him later this week. Only thing is, I DON'T have any appointment with him at all. I tried calling his office back at the number they left for me and got stuck in an endless loop of automated messages. Grr...! I'll try calling back tomorrow morning.

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there.
Mine died decades ago. Favorite memories with him include throwing the baseball and shooting basketball hoops in the back yard when I was a boy.

I won this correspondence chess game today with a Bishop-Bishop Combination Checkmate. The C6- Bishop delivers the mating move, while my H4-Bishop covers the Black King's only possible flight squares.

A few hours ago I won this Correspondence Chess game with the Black pieces by catching the White King in a nifty Rook-Rook Combination Checkmate.

Early afternoon of what I'm calling a recovery day. Yesterday I handled two “major” chores: my weekly laundry, and cutting branches in the back yard. Shoulders and hands are sore today from all that work, especially with the tree tools. That's no surprise, but it does earn me a “rest” day.
