Good morning!!!!

[check]

I like this as well Actually most pickles. Unfortunately my favorites are no longer available. My grandmother made something we called mustard pickles, cucumbers from her garden. Anytime I was lucky enough to be told to geo get a jar from the cellar you could count on them being have gone that meal.lot’s of good memories from those visits.

Me too! Grandma’s Polish pickles were the absolute best!

I thought Aunt Bea’s pickles were the best?

Good Saturday morning all. mid 40's going up to 60 today in sunshine, should be nice.

wow Bill, that is some challenging news about your DIL. Having been through this with my wife, no it's not how it normally works.
In fact with mine they overmedicated her so much from day one that mine couldn't talk with me. Though I know she heard me.
Prayers for comfort for your family. Not an easy time for you.

Number of friends stopping over for coffee and muffins this morning, then I hope to do the oil changes on the snowblower and gen this afternoon.

34 right now...high in the upper 40's today. That should pretty much take care of the little snow we have left from yesterday's storm
Other then picking up the PTO driveshaft and the mirrors I ordered for the 4052, no real plans today. Probably rig the driveshaft to the chipper and tractor...see how everything fits now. I had the ring type yoke replaced by the old push pin type (actually, didn't think that type of yoke was available any more...but the dealer had one in stock. I hope I made the right decision in having this modification done. The mirrors are a bolt on...other then needing a ladder and a wrench or two, shouldn't be a problem (famous last words, eh?)

L$N, I am really sorry to read the hospice didn't work out...and what they're doing sounds outrageous and unprofessional. Letting her stay with her fur babies is both loving and very human. There's no doubt this will be a stressful time for you and your family but I think you're doing the right thing...

I hope Coco gets better!!

Hospice is usually for our last week. Some folks who go in get better and come out.
But most don't and the whole idea is to get out of pain, since by that time if you have a wasting type
disease that causes a lot of pain, like pancreatic cancer, all you want to do is get out of pain and have your
last few days at least be pleasant, which often the prior several months haven't been.

If someone is not in too much pain, or easily controlled, then I'd rather stay at home.
I have surely had my fill of hospitals.
Canine therapy sounds really wonderful. And I think the dogs know in their own way.

Let's all try to stay healthy, watch what we eat, what we weigh and remember to be happy.
Happy people last longer.

Yet another update, took her to the hospice this morning. She found out the hard way how they clear the patients. They withhold the meds. Noon pills didn't get to her nor did the supper pills. I just got home from picking her up. She will die at home with her furbabies around her.

Sad very sad...but least she comfortable setting person can be trusted.

38 and frosty roof, going to 65...same as yesterday.

Prayers for your DIL, L4N.

Randy, hope you're feeling better again today.

Check, I like your color better.

Thanks for wishing Coco well. I wrote up/updated her history since Feb 1 and sent to the internist, then called for appointment, only to find they were closed. I always copy the dermatologist vet that treated her originally and referred me to the internist. She really cares and is on the ball...called me and said she had already made an appointment for Coco at a different vet here in this county, I just needed to call them to confirm...that she had been concerned recently about the first internist having short hours and being hard to reach (she travels the US in her job). She also talked through things and called in a prescription. Fingers crossed.

Picked up a double load of mulch in the trailer to make my wife happy while out getting gas and diesel...she brought home a delicious vegetable calzone for me.

Does anybody know if that Mars rover helicopter ever took its test flight? Last I heard it was postponed. Read a long article about it and challenges of flying in 1/100 the atmosphere density of earth.
