Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

tuckered out, glad to be home
temp said 49 out but while planting pachysandra at church it started to snow and sleet on us. Very strange, must be moisture up high.
Only did about a third of the plants but I'd rather go back another day when it's warmer. Lot of bending over, good exercise but I'm feeling it.

depressing call from oldest friend, had a hernia checked, wife said get a complete scan, glad he did, sort of...told him he has a lot of nodules growing in him and he failed the PET scan. Not good.
Biopsy next week, then chemo for some kind of lymphoma I'm guessing. His daughter is my godchild. At least his wife and daughter are nurses, he will be well taken care of.
I hope he does as well as I did...

made hotel reservations in Washington NC for my trip in May down to Charleston. Too long a drive for me so I break it up this way and go visit old friends in Washington.
Hopefully it will be nice weather and I can sit on my friend's porch overlooking the Pamlico River. Once I get to Folly Beach, will have the ocean to look at. I bought a modest
metal detector to take on my trip and do a little detecting on the beach. Might just be a doubloon or two waiting for me

my sister and I think we have the same wheat allergy. Fast food buns have me coughing and reacting for about five minutes, then it goes away. Now I avoid them anyway.
She says her husband bakes all their own bread, seems to like sourdough the most.
She was off to go for a hike that sounded interesting: Now off to hike “steep ravine” in Muir Woods. Exactly that —
a super steep ravine where one expects a hobbit to pop out behind a huge redwood tree.

I wonder if RNG has hobbits nearby. I mean, it is California.

I bought a Minelab SDC2300 months ago and haven't been fit enough to take it for a walk yet. I have had many detectors over the years and done well with them but I was resting on my laurels when I bought this one. Not sure I am fit enough for that caper anymore.

Anticipating a full day with TurboTax today broken up by frequent encounters with spreadsheets. An energy conservation day physically, but not mentally.

Just finished mine about an hour ago it took about 4.5 hrs, and I thought I was all organized! Don't know why but doing taxes stresses me out. Just now got the email they were accepted. Time for a stress reduction beverage

Stay well and heal quickly
Prayers for all

I don't think I could ever find enough gold to offset the price of the detector, but it would be fun trying.

I'm planning on working on mine tomorrow.

Waiting on my refund. I never got the last stimulus, so claimed that, which they said would slow the return.

Nothing accomplished this weekend, back to the grind again in the morning.
Old cat laying on my lap, new cat on the other lazyboy. We are getting one of snagglepuss kittens when they are old enough, probably the calico.

I got my metal detector from Amazon. Works ok. Found lots of dropped fence staples when I was removing an old fence. It finds my corner pins.

I detected full time for gold for a couple of years in Western Australia, Victoria and Queensland. Found enough to keep me going even though it wasn't worth much compared to now. Also got to see a lot of remote Australia. All compass and maps in those days. I had our wedding rings made out of some of the gold I found. This is one of the few pics I have left after losing several computers/photos over the years. I found several hundred nuggets.
