good morning all
cooler weather arrived, 36 going up to 59 today in sun and clouds.

was good to see my old friend yesterday and not good to see him sick. Biopsy not back yet but they are
pretty sure of lymphoma. He has lost his appetite and suffering from edema, as his body is clearly fighting something.
It will be two weeks before he can get into chemo, a very long time to wait. He has almost no other risk factors, non smoker, non drinker, and in
good physical shape. But cancer is in his lymph nodes and spread. My fingers are sure crossed for him.

I have an appt with my primary doc at noon, really like the guy and look forward to his opinions, considering all the specialists I see.
He has a DO background and I need to talk to him about my neck and back. Need an epidural on neck and a major rotorooter to lower back.
Sure not looking forward to that. Lady across the street just had her lower back done and said it was worst pain in her life. Lovely.
But procrastination doesn't fix backs.

Magnolias and dogwoods and all the flowering trees are starting to bloom, very pretty driving through neighborhood.
Along with that blooming is a lot of pollen and I've been sneezing more. i wear a big floppy Tilley hat outside which keeps the pollen out of my hair.
Wind up washing my face more to get pollen off eyebrows,etc. Sticky stuff...and designed to be I'm sure.

have a great day

back from Costco. Didn’t get everything. Strangely, no motor oil, no cat food. I
Had to remind her that military pay years ago wasn’t that great and Government Employees didn’t pay SS.

Believe I read if you get a govt retirement check they reduce your SS.

Costco hasn’t had cat food for a few months.

Hang on I'll check my driver Lic..........yup it was yesterday guess that's why Iam sharing fancy recliner with kittens.

Happy birthday Thomas, hope you had a great day.

Billy, I hope your wifey's shoulder gets some relief. I know that the surgical repair is a big deal. Hope your is better. I have trouble sleeping on side (my preference) due to shoulders. I think if I had a sleep number bed, I'd have to put it on the softest setting.

Prayers for our team, our country, the sick, and Ukraine.

It’s a beautiful, windy 34f morning

Believe I read if you get a govt retirement check they reduce your SS.

Or in many cases eliminate it.

Morning all 37 here and Windy.
Got trees mulched and made cages to protect new trees when I plant them.
Got new front roller wheel on lawn tractor.
hurting today..oh well.

My father will be in town Sunday, was a surprise as he originally told us he would be here end of may. His planning skills are getting more randomized.

Stay safe and be well.

Good Morning
It’s 39, going to 50 and windy.

The alpacas are going to miss there warm jackets today. Shearing started about 7 and is going pretty well.

36 and sunny, but ice in the smallest bird bath. Getting up to 64 again, but windy.

Thanks for the wishes for my wife's shoulder. She feels better.

Thomas, hope you had a smooth cigar.

Sodamo, when prices go up, makes that SS seem even smaller. Inflation, with a tanking market, is certainly bad news for the retired crowd. I no longer have cats, so am surprised that cat food is hard to get right now.

Sweet Betsy has been smelling so good last few days...intoxicating. Crimson clover fields are at peak bloom and full of bees and butterflies. The bee swarm stragglers have not returned to our front yard tree. Phoebes hatched yesterday...5 of them. The Carolina wrens are attacking the chipmunks when they get too close to the creel basket decoration they are nesting in. Yep, just another beautiful spring. Makes it seem even sadder about Ukraine victims and their country.

Mowed for the 4th time yesterday, and did some hole digging. First time in probably 35 years of using these post hole diggers that a nut came off and a bolt fell off. I had just one of the correct size, but the others are loose, so need to pick up some more and replace the other 3. It at least gave me an excuse to quit about the time my arms and shoulders started complaining.

RNG, enjoy your trip.

Good morning! Woke up to a frosty 25. Allegedly going to 55 today.

My wife’s retirement party is tonight. I don’t think she is actually ready for this. She enjoys making deals on equipment too much. And she is leaving about the time 2 power plants and a refinery project are getting ready to start in her stores territory. Her sales guy has already been told the one power plant project is theirs, the general contractor doesn’t want any other company on site.

Probably going to mow more today when it warms up. Rain in the forecast early next week. Told the wife we are gonna have a mower maintenance and repair day. It goes easier with 2 people.

Hopefully first race for me in Ohio this weekend in Lima. Track is legendary in flat track circles, but, IMO, is not the best track in Ohio. Should be a big crowd. We are only running the Yamaha 450 this weekend. That will be easier to keep straight in my head.

Everyone stay safe out there!
