Good morning!!!!

[Jim Nelson]

Went to the cardiac surgeons office today, I was told that they would do the procedure, but my numbers indicate that there is no hurry. I have to get a cat scan and see a surgeon that will refuse me as a traditional surgery patient, then I can get scheduled.

Walking a lot without assistance, hopefully a week or so will get me free.


Weather is headed downhill today.

BEF, Keep up the good work. Prayers for all the kids with issues today.

Ron, I won’t sugar coat it, you have a long lonely walk, but you will come out the other side and smile and realize your life goes on. The hardest part for me was to understand that I didn’t have to be sad every day. Take your time, we are all different people. God bless you.

Randy,I would really encourage you to hold out for the TAVR because there is a limit to how many open hearts you can have. I've had 2 and now need a Mitral valve but they won't even consider it so I have to wait for the trans catheter procedure to be approved. I tried to talk my cardiologist into the TAVR when I had mine done in 2011 but he said it was too new and he didn't have connections with any of the hospitals doing it. I caved and went with the open heart, which was great, but they refused to do both valves at the same time and now I'm kind of in a spot. Hopefully your doctors will agree to the TAVR ,the procedure has come a long way since I needed it and it's usually just an overnight stay in the hospital.

Best wishes for a good outcome,I think about you often.

I am prepping for the TAVR, today was first visit to satisfy some Medicare rules, and do the timed walking test, etc...

Ron, you have our thoughts and prayers.

Thanks again team for the prayers for my daughter. She had a mostly good day yesterday.

She is on a list, to get ABA therapy.

She is into drawing mermaids right now. I wish she'd use all the colored pencils we have, but she's using felt tips.

I'm always amazed at the detail. The individual scales, the links in the necklace the perfect nose (I can't draw nose) the mermaids facial expression especially the eyes, and the look at the sea horse tells a story, and is the sea horse blushing?

Maybe Drew will have one swim up from the ocean into his yard tonight, compliments of Dorian.

Happy belated Anniversary Mr & Mrs Mostly

Pulled the ATI Quik Attach off the Kioti. Attacked the rust with wire brush and sander. Primed with Rust Reformer and repainted. Didn’t get to bucket yet. Wife is hinting I’m taking too long getting Kioti ready to sell.


Also got the 3 pt back together

Good morning. My wife has turned the heated towel rail on in our bathroom, a sign as sure as the sight of the last swallows sitting on the fence, pondering their departure to the other side of the equator, that summer is most definitely over for another year.

Kyle, interesting that your daughter prefers to do her art on a wipe board. That seems fair enough as they are her pictures, to do with as she pleases. Maybe she prefers a white board simply because felt pens let her achieve an effect that is close to the mermaid and princess animations she sees on tv. As Don says, there is always so much thought and talent in her creations, thanks for sharing.

68 and windy going to 77 today. Maybe little or no rain coming from the storm.

Happy anniversary, Mostly and wife!

Kyle, real talent she has.

Been busy this week, may take a rest day...depends on weather.

Buckey glad to hear the progress, TMI on video, and sorry to hear about disability issues.

Buckeye, the C&O bike trail is on my list.

Lol, sometimes i put something in to see if anyone catches it....

I rode C&O once with boy scouts, 1/4 each yr over 4 yrs. 184 miles. If you ride upstream, you can then continue on the Allegheny Passage and keep going to Pittsburgh.

And Happy Anniversary!!! You about 10 yrs more than me..

Do you ride your bike on a stand, or exersize bike at home? I want to get an exercise bike, but dont know which one.
