Good Morning to All Who Celebrate! Currently 56° with a smattering of rain, looks like more forecasted for later this week. Glad I re-covered the log splitter for the time being.
Weekend ended up being backwards. Realtor called on Friday, his son was in the hospital in Philly, asked if we could reschedule for Sunday. I'm not heartless, so of course I agreed, instructed him that I would miss 100 houses if it meant taking a father away from a sick son.
Then Grandma called, she and my aunt went up to the cabin to shut down for the winter, blow down the water and generally close up. She's also got a doctors appointment since she managed to overextend her hip trying to climb up on a beam after her other grandson. Said she heard something snap and can't walk more than 15 minutes. Of course, this happened back in August and she's only dealing with it now...grrr....
Long and short of it, she wasn't bringing the brush out. I said that's fine. So I ended up doing a bit of tractoring around since I hadn't used the Kubota since my trip. Mashed down some of the goldenrod that was extending into the trails. Also sharpened and fired up both saws.
Sunday, a long drive up north to look at the house. Problem is that what I would classify as Grandma dwellings are coming available and just aren't worth what their children think, especially without gas rights. Actually another one came on the market that struck my interest more. It's closer to a major interstate, so my commute would be more direct. Girlfriend likes both, so the decision is up to me. Realtor's son is also doing better, the Doctors finally have an idea and they're getting him on the right track.
Oh, I also get the Lipoma sliced off this Thursday or else I'm taking it off with a penknife myself. They double booked last Thursday. So sorry. I should have charged them a $250 rescheduling fee.
Parents rode out the storm down south. Ocean was angry but the skies were clear. They'll probably return on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Otherwise, just the usual Monday craziness here. Another trip for work tomorrow and then hopefully a break from all this travel.
Y'all Stay Safe out there and Be well!
Prayers for all Ailing and Recovering!

On my phone screen, looked more like a topo map. n the computer, not as much.
