Good morning!!!!

A couple weeks ago, I had guys out to upgrade my electric feed and panels. They trenched a 150 amp feed and replaced the panels in the house. I knew it was needed, but power washing the house resulted in pops and sparks! We upgraded the issue to "NEED IT NOW!", they were there the next day. Boy I'm glad I got this done, and am amazed it functioned (and didn't burn the place down) as bad as it was. These were the feed lines, and just as bad in a couple of other spots...

I got the front and north field cut and mower refueled and washed. Got chased inside by a sun shower while I was cutting the front. Got ambitious and fired up the tractor and swapped buckets, pushed up the wood pile and turned the compost pile over. I'm going to leave the wood bucket on until after the wood goes into the basement in October. Since I've been chewing the metformin pills the mosquitoes leave me alone. This is the ONLY good thing about the pills.
If there is no wind, I use a Thermacell mosquito repellent system. The mosquitoes and black flies can smell it but I cannot.

Got a whopping .03" of rain from the storms that came thru.... Had to water the garden. At least temps dropped, but upstairs still hot.

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.3C and it's presently 12.1C, mostly sunny with a breeze.

Yesterday's town trip was successful for scripts & groceries. I also stopped off at the medical clinic to make a future appointment for script renewal... I could've done that over the phone but I know that my Doctor always wants a blood/urine test of some sort.

I did check in at "Services Tasmania" to inquire about the OAP, who said that it was a "Centrelink" (Federal gov) thing. This being a small town, I'd have to go into Launceston, however they had a computer link that I could use. They also said that perhaps our Veteran's Centre could assist, so I took a wander over there. All that they could do was provide a phone number to call.

That's OK. This is why I'm making all of these inquiries now as opposed to a month before.

Nothing really planned for today. That's about it, take care all.

Well the urologist appointment was yesterday morning, and unfortunately I am not emptying my bladder, after my pee rest they said I still had 100ml of urine in my bladder ! I just have a feeling this is not going to end well for me ! The idea of self catheter each time I need to pee is not too appealing!

Of course 'I am not a Doctor', but I have personal experience with this and it led to the discovery of kidney cancer. I went in for an ultrasound of my bladder which confirmed that I was retaining urine... the technician then said that, "seeing as you're here, lets check your kidneys as they're part of the urinary system." She didn't have to do this but it resulted in finding that my left kidney was double the size of normal. I had no symptoms, other than the retention of urine in my bladder. That kidney was cancerous and was removed within a week.

All I'm saying is, be thorough, Mate.

Coffee is brewing. 56° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 73° with mix of sun and clouds. Got 2 fields cut yesterday morning. Had plans to do it in afternoon after they dried out. Good thing I did it in morning. If I had waited I would have got caught in a stray rain burst. Dropped .25" of rain in a few minutes. Grocery shopping this morning. Then mow grass in afternoon. Amazon package got delivered at 4:30am this morning. Why do they put packages in front of door so it cannot be opened?
Did not take long after cutting field for cleanup crew to show up.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.
