Checking In:
A foggy 63ºF for today’s low; a cloudy humid overcast 74ºF presently; and I anticipate a humid 78ºF for today’s high temp with a chance of rain showers and T-storm activity. Brogen A.K.A Droolius Barkus scored big time today at the transfer station/dump (3 biscuits) prior to the trip to the doggie gulag. We got to the gulag and there was a family group with a pack of 4 Australian sheperd mixes who it appeared were not dog friendly as a pack. Droolius was still in the truck as I helped the kennel owner manage the pack while 2 geriatric beagles were exiting with their owner. It appeared that the pack controlled the humans, but finally the pack was taken to their kennels. I told the family that I would be coming in with my St. B. now that the area was cleared of potential combatants and no one else was bringing in their dogs for boarding. The instant that Brogen and I returned entering the kennel the office the family freaked out
about Brogen which got Brogen and the kennel owner’s two (dog unfriendly) Bull Mastiffs going. Quite the scene, but all’s well that ends well.
I really do not know why I even bothered to get the truck detailed.
Plan for today get the truck cleaned up (again), clean the kayaks, and pack the truck for our Adirondack vacation tomorrow.
“The best BBQ is cooked low and slow. No more than 250F, 225F is better.”- RNG I agree. I really like your fire engine.
Bruce- The Rabbit Hole was a really good restaurant. Wifey and I shared a chef’s choice fermented vegetable sampling which was really good eats. Peg got a huge hamburger loaded with fermented vegetable toppings. She even let me sample some
. That hamburger was amazing.
I stayed away from all things sausage, but I did order a 24 oz, air cured, cold smoked, and jerked rib eye steak which was amazing. It came as ordered medium rare. Plan for today finish that steak, and yes Brogen did get some (scraps). It appears that the co-owner (wife) took a liking to us as evidenced by the size of the bone dry martini #2. We have always liked this restaurant, but due to its location it usually fails after a year or 2. We will do our best to keep this operation going. Plan: Return in 2 weeks with some friends who live nearby.
“Yes, the case manager was off…”- BEF It seems that this is SOP. We were really in a financial bind when I first got sick and had to go through all the ST DI, SSDI, etc. BS with similar experiences as yours
As soon as I could I applied for my State pension and after my case was opened my case manager retired. It took months and a lot of - expressed emotion to get my pension. I hope that your experience will be different. Good luck with the discharge planning.
Phil- I am happy to read of your + response to the sinus surgery.
Kyle- I have been unable to zoom in with this site, but I would like to find an alternative site that could provide both the data graphics and be zoom capable. I am still looking.
RonJH- I am happy that you and Betty are getting family support. My continued + thoughts, wishes, and prayers for Betty, you, and family.
“Caloric overdose…”- Drew I did not take my blood sugars this AM
