Thanks for letting me vent.

Vent away, Mate. That's what we're here for...

--------------------------------------------------------------

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 16.6C and it's presently 23.9C, mostly clear with some wind.

Lovely Sunday, although the baptism was postponed due to 'illness'. Very humid what with drying out from the rain.

Hopefully I can get in a mowing today after clearing that wattle branch that came down last week. More rain predicted for tomorrow.

That's about it, take care all.

30deg,
Home from VA. Took about 40 minutes longer due to double detour because of I81 backup. Was going up Rt11, but it backed up for miles by people jumping off of I81, so had to take another route. Been that way before. By this mill, the water wheel was turning

Cat's did fine, we left Tiger loose in the car and he mostly laid on my wifes lap most of the way. We gave him his meds before we left, and they worked.
Got hose off the hose bib, it was dry, the water had leaked down. But also undid the hose on the ealy reel itself.
Water tank will get drained tomorrow.

Morning all, temps have been in the 20's at night, 45-50 daytime. We got a quick 1 1/2" of snow last Wednesday night, but all gone by Friday.

Maybe a little better here at the homestead..... I was able to bring Dona home yesterday, albeit probably for only a short time.

Her back is really messed up, definitely requires surgery. It's affecting her walking ability and any movement other than sitting. Unfortunately, now on a "back burner".....

Her bloodwork was so out of wack, that became the primary concern. She was teetering on the edge of major collapse. Almost a liter of fluid was aspirated from her lung.

Then came the really bad news.... the abnormal labs are being caused by cancer. They did three biopsies, still waiting on results of "what type" of cancer. We talk to the oncology team on Monday.

Needless to say, we are trying to wrap our heads around this. Need to plan for the road ahead if that's even possible......

Thanks for letting me vent.

Ted, prayers for Dona, you, and her medical staff. Also for divine healing.
Please vent all you want, that's what we do here.

A Blessed Advent Season to ALL!

Yes, a special time of year. Lit the first candle at church today.

My buddy with the new house, just bought a 98" Samsung TV for $4000 on sale from $5K. I told him I might have to sit on the back porch to watch it. He still has some plumbing and electrical issues. Has to get the tradesmen back over.

Really nice day here weather wise. My son had his girlfriend over almost all day. She went to church with us, and we had a nice lunch after. They watched The Princess Bride (1987).

Big football game did not go our way. Back to work tomorrow. Will focus on helping students learn and earn their degrees this week.

RNG, I need clarification. Were you going to ride ebikes to intentionally slow down traffic?

Popgadget, too cool. Do you have to deal with O2 supply?

Buppies, my buddy with the new home project has 2 Goldens that we spent a lot of time with last week. He takes them all over town in the back of his truck. They love riding. Prayers.

TxDon, the traffic thru our town was bad for all the travellers. So many. I kept trips to a minimum.

Prayers for our team, America, Ukraine and Israel.

PJS, glad to see the new leg working. I hope it helps lift him up after a really bad accident.

 

[PJSprog]

21°F and cloudy this morning, got up to 33° today with some sunshine, which helped to melt some of the snow. We got about 2", as expected.

Shoveled off the concrete pad at the top of the driveway yesterday evening just as it was fading to flurries. All clean after today's sunshine. Going down into the mid-teens the next two nights, then a high of 50° for Wednesday. Weeeee!

Got a whole lot of nothing done today, and did it to the best of my abilities. OK, that's not entirely true; I did get some laundry done.

Thanks for all of the kind comments about Samuel.

We're all thinking about you and your wife, Ted.

Good evening, gents.

Went out and packed the snow into the gravel driveways anyway. Lost one customer, he doesn't have a car any more.

Hwy 11 (the primary way to get from Toronto to North Bay) is closed. It has been closed for two days due to snow and stuck vehicles. It is closed for 64 miles. Gravenhurst (right in the middle of the trip from Orillia to Huntsville) got 55". The weather guessers are suggesting flurries for the next two days and then more snow. I have seen me plow 18" of flurries from an overnight dusting in the past there.
I am happy that I got my 'down south' trip taken care of on the 14th.

 

[Buppies]
