David, it looks like your water will drain to the front. Are you planning on connecting it to the other gutter and then to your storage tank?

LS, sorry for the bad news, wish I could advise you but I don't have any expertise.

Ted, sorry to hear about the disability, moreso your continues knee issue.
You didn’t say who disapproved, but sometimes, like with SS, disapproval is almost automatic. First time sophie was disapproved they didn’t even have the facts correct. The good news is that first appeal requires nothing special, nothing that you can’t do yourself, doesn’t require someone who will do same thing except claim a % of the outcome. Still it takes involvement. Eventually Sophie was mandated to go to the official, state appointed disability Dr. What a joke. Of course I went with her carry about foot tall box of her medical records. After watching him give her 3 movement tests which he just accepted while barely observing. I just had to stop him and questioned what it was he thought he observed. By that point I knew how she sorta cheated at various motions. When I pointed those out he redid all her tests and actually paid attention. She was rated 100%. Good luck. You have to be your own best advocate. Sophie’s orthopedic surgeon told us that while she was still in ICU, so true.

Thomas, hard choices for sure. Balance. My 1st ten years retired I still did computer consulting parttime, after Sophie’s accident I became an independent home inspector as it was a great fit with my caregiver responsibilities. It wasn’t until we moved to Hawaii that I became fully retired from outside work. Now, I’m unemployable.

Thomas, my wifey agrees with your misses.....

Well, a surprise at the ortho doc today..... after taking some xrays, everything still in alignment and secure. BUT, while we were discussing the pain and swelling, HE said he would like to get a second opinion! Now just waiting for the insurance to approve, and a call from the other doc.

Then the bad news after I got home. My disability claim was denied again by the insurance. WTF! They didn't even have me do the "medical exam".... that was supposedly the last step. Nope... just denied. REALLY?
I'm still being treated for the same condition for almost 2 years (23 months). Going on 3 years and 10 months since the injury. And now another doc getting involved because the first is out of guesses.

If anybody was wondering---- yes you can be 'mentally numb', angry, and depressed at the same time. I really didn't need to get that letter today. I'm dealing with enough on my plate.

Sorry for the bit of a rant.... I'm just going to bed now.... maybe tomorrow will be better....
That sux, but now you know why they call their job a 'practice'.
They do it for long enough they might get it right. Like football but not quite the same.

Good morning, low temp is 19 and the high to 27°F. Wind NNE 9 mph.
40% chance of freezing drizzle until mid morning. I have no doubt I will be plowing this morning. The block heater is already plugged in.

rs, you are damned if you do, and damned if you don't. You certainly do NOT want black mould in your walls. You might point that out to your better half.

Other than plowing, I think I will conserve energy.

Have a safe day all
