good morning, 54 going to 75 cloudy conditions

The new stove will be installed today. Hope they have some strong help because it is heavy.

The chestnut clean up crew was busy yesterday about a dozen or so. Walking Cody in the dark this morning the light from the headlight lit up the eyes all around getting ready for first light to snack.

The seedlings planted earlier in the year for wife have turned into attracting the Hummingbirds just like she wanted

Happy belated anniversary Ken and also happy birthday to L4N

59 outside this Am, heading to mid 70's.

Last day of dry from what the weather wizards are saying. We are under draught warnings, have been for a while.

Lots of busy stuff on the to do list. Including grass.

Have to chuckle about the animal counts, last night again the deer population decided our pastures were the event location. Over 15 this time and if the eyes were not playing tricks, probably more. LOL.

Hope all have a great start to the work week. Be safe,

Good morning! 68˚F heading to the mid 90s N wind.

Yea! Today I start out-patient physical therapy and Thursday is the last day of mandatory sling wearing. The Magic number is 6 weeks that is when I can test the limits and get back in the pool, if its not too cool.

It was 99˚ yesterday and the pool water temp warmed up to 88˚

Two armed projects lists is getting longer but will have to wait 3 1/2 more weeks, don't want to mess the shoulder up after the good surgery.

M7040, Scott, Thomas, Newbury, Thank you all for the birthday wishes. Being retired has its' perks. But so does working.
What I take home in a month now, I used to take home in one week when I was working. I was clearing over 10 grand/month when I was working and still have the $1200.oo/ month in the winter.
I didn't collect unemployment insurance in the winter and that way I had a bigger income tax rebate in Spring.
IF you are a 'frequent flier' on UI then after three consecutive years of collecting they want 35% of your income tax rebate and they take it right off the top. I got bitten once on that and said never again.
I got the goobermint to take more income tax off my CPP and OAS in the 4 months I worked (90%) and 30% the rest of the year and consistently got a rebate of 9-12,000.oo
That is how I paid for the BH cash and the following year paid cash for the Z-turn.
UI only takes 14% off for income tax, that might come back to bite me in the butt, that is the chance I am taking as I need the added cash right now to (a) cover bills and (b) continue my life style.
The sick benefits run out in November and I can go on regular UI until next May at which time all the benefits are finished.
IF my game plan works I will be going back to work in May, probably at a lower rate than tanking, but that is life. It certainly is better than the alternative, pushing up daises.
