Good Morning
35 and forecast to make it to the high 40’s under clear skies.
Yesterday I chauffeured my wife and her wares to the farmers market and back, she said it was very busy, and sold a lot of goods. While she was selling gloves, yarn, socks etc. I went home and finished up the trash can mounts on the carryall.
Here’s how the angles got formed-
And here’s the finished product.
This week, I’ll actually look forward to trash night so I can test them out.
Today I’ll deal with the RAV4 and it’s codes. Need to get exchange the argon bottle for the TIG welder, killed it yesterday, actually finished the job with the MIG welder and CO2/Argon mix. Made me appreciate how clean TIG welding is. The old bottle is 80 cu ft, I’m going to replace it with a 122.
Wife has PT and Dr appointments today, I guess she will take my Prius, leaving me with the KubVan.
Kyle that mount looks repairable if you can get it off without any additional damage. Bolt it to a plate to keep it in place and flat, then weld it with nickel rod.

Good morning! 37˚F warming to the mid 60s as the wind is from the South.
The citrus make 5 pints of marmalade. It will be tart because I only used 1/5 of the sugar. With the yellow lemons and the orange kumquats the color turned out nice. Then washed the car and made a cherry/vanilla square pie. In-between the marmalade and pie my wife make a broccoli pasta dish, the kitchen was busy all day.

Morning all , 34 and sunny. Wind seems to have finally calmed down.
Got light sphere finished, came out good enough that wife wants me to make another one.....
Jingle bell ride was good, forgot how big draft horses can get. Local Farm raises them and Jingle bells made by hand by a local maker.
Mostly-glad you got a ride in
Bird-glad you and Margaret had such a great day.
Wife baked cookies- Soon will need to roll me through woods to get work done.
Stay safe and be well,
Owner said last time they weighed the horses, they came in around 2000 pounds.

Good morning! Was a frosty 25° early this morning. Wood burner was still throwing heat when I got up, stoked it up. May get to 50° today. Supposed to be a mild week.
Puttered in the garage yesterday. Got some more done to the Bultaco I am rebuilding. Cleaned a shower head in the ultrasonic cleaner, did wonders for it.
And to continue my reminiscing of last year......
I will likely double post today. I am "scheduled" to travel on business tomorrow and won't have much free time, will be a LONG day. So if the trip is still a go, I will post my Tuesday experience later today.
Last year, this was my 3rd Monday in the hospital. Rather quiet day actually.
Usual blood draw and complete room devastation from the ****** Youth. Got on the iPad and looked at my results. Blood was still about the same as the day before, the blockage was still there, hadn't shrunk, but the radiologist that read the X-Rays noted the front edge of it had begun to elongate.
Kandi was day shift nurse again. She started shutting off the NG tube and giving me certain meds via the NG tube directly into my stomach. She also told me there were no open slots to get the pick line installed, but it was scheduled for Tuesday morning. That was a bit of disappointment. Patience is not my strong suit.
Mikaela was my day shift nurse's aide again. Which made me happy. She was much friendlier and more involved than most of the other. I had noticed she was casual with PPE in my room. At some point during my stay, I asked her why. She had suffered Covid intestine in late May of 202. She was one of the first survivors locally, we shared the same doctor. She was in a program studying natural antibodies. She had to be tested every day she was scheduled, was not allowed on the floor until the test was negative, and had to have weekly blood draw for testing. In exchange, she was allowed to decided how much PPE she wore with different patients. She was casual with me since, in her words: "anyone with a 97.3° temperature every single day is not infectious with anything". She also told me she had patients that she fully suited up for.
Dr. Deb A showed up after she was done with surgery and rounds. She had Kandi in tow. She wanted to know how things were going with the stomach by giving me certain meds through the NG tube. I had no problems at all. She listened to my abdomen and was impressed with the sounds of activity from my stomach and intestines. She decided since I handled the meds ok, I was now allowed small amounts of water and chipped ice via mouth. She told me it was a bit early in the program for both, but since my stomach was handling the meds ok, she wanted to test my stomach with water too.
The water and ice were WONDERFUL as dry as my mouth and throat were. Even in small amounts it was soothing. And my stomach handled it just fine.
Dr. Deb A also assured me no more doctors were going to be doing experiments on me when she wasn't on duty. She was going to hand pick the doctors covering for her and overseeing my case.
I also got the standard cannula around this time. BOL was staying above 96% even when physical therapy had me up and moving around the room with a walker.
Shawna was my night shift nurse again. She was friendly, funny, and entertaining. It would also be the last night she was my nurse. She was off duty for the rest of the week. Before she left, she told me she knew I was strong enough to be home for Christmas.
Everyone stay safe out there!

Mostly, yes, I pick the songs. Did one Christmas song. My youngest son likes to pick my songs for me when he’s here. I try to lead songs that the other song leaders don’t lead. Also upbeat, faster tempo songs, especially the first one. I try to tie some into the theme of the lesson.

Good Morning!!!! 46F @ 7:00AM. Windy. Rain, heavy at times in the morning. High near 50F. Winds SSE at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall may reach one inch. Locally heavy rainfall possible.
We picked up a little over an inch of rain yesterday, and have collected another 3/4" since midnight. Had some 40 MPH gusts earlier this morning, rattling the porch roof, hammering rain on the bedroom slider, and waking me up. Looks like it'll keep it up for most of today and into tomorrow.
Bummer about the flywheel, Kyle, but at least it's off now. I've had pretty good luck silver soldering cast iron; you might want to give it a try especially since you've got nothing to lose at this point.
Spent yesterday stoking the wood stove and conserving energy. The paint on the bag mounts was just a tiny bit tacky, and since one of the garage doors didn't close the evening before, I brought them in and set them next to the wood stove thinking they might cure a bit faster. The satellite internet is having a hard time with the heavy cloud cover, so likely I'll screen a movie or two, and maybe even splurge on a nap.
Hope everyone's week gets off to a healthy start.

I did some routine blood work before surgery at the hospital. Face mask were required. I found out wearing a face mask DOES affect your blood carbon dioxide level. I was wearing the mask about an hour before the blood was withdrawn and this is the first time ever that my carbon dioxide levels came back high - above the normal range. So, trying to correct one problem just leads to another.

Looking,
the ones that ***** never plowed snow. Having plowed snow, I appreciate the work the plows do, and don’t moan if they backfill the end of my drive (especially now I have a cab tractor)
