Good Morning Everyone!!!!

“Today is 9/11..... Please remember all those first responders and innocent lives lost in NYC. I can't believe it's been so long already. Seems like last week….” Ted

Ted, Bird, DABSGT, and all the other first responders out there thank you.

Americans and allies stood together as “one” that day. It impacted all of us in some way(s): There was a large TV in the rec room of the secure, memory impaired unit that I managed. The pictures of the burning/falling buildings freaked out all the residents who still had cognitive awareness. They all “went back” to re-experiencing WWII some believing the war was ongoing; others questioning their own mental capacities. A couple of years later I worked with some kids who watched the buildings burn and go down with parents and family still inside. One poor kid lost her entire family (of males), one way or another, of her first responding NYFD’ers.

An overcast, humid 60ºF morning low; a humid 75ºF with mixed sun clouds presently; and I anticipate today’s high to reach a humid high 70º’s with a chance for rain showers/T-storms. I learned a new word this AM = “hydrometeors” from the NWS. FWIW: From the American Meteorology Society- Any product of condensation or deposition of atmospheric water vapor, whether formed in the free atmosphere or at the earth's surface; also, any water particle blown by the wind from the earth's surface.

Randy- I am happy to read that you were officially discharged from home based services.

BEF- I am sorry to read about your chronic neuropathic pain. I hope that you and the doctors figure out what is driving this. It reads like an auto-immune process to me. It sux.

Drew- Congratulations on the RV. I a saddened and about your experience with the dealership. I hope you get many miles/hours together w/o incident. A nice looking RV thanks for sharing the picture and experience,

RNG- I hope that you remain out of harm’s way and will have to use your firetruck this fire season.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

18 years ago - our lives changed forever. Blessings to those injured, curses to the perpetrators and their followers. Prayers to the rest who will continually suffer from their legacy.

77° and no rain.
Need to take a propane tank to cottage, do some cleanup in the tractorshed.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Rick, I need you to release all claims on the patent to the production and sale of okra chocolate shakes.
Product will enter testing phase this week.

Kind of like this but geared for kids without the coffee.

(Can you come up with a good name first? It just can't have the word milk in it or we run into trouble with the Dairy Assoc.)

My crack staff, of country attorneys, are drawing up papers to transfer all rights over to The Compass Rose Company ....... for a remuneration of $1.

too funny, just came in from picking about five pounds of okra, was a day late but just chucked the big ones in the field.

had long and very good conversation with the service mgr/partner in business who described my delivery as a debacle. His word...
He also showed me how to get the rv level and then press a button, sort of like setting the memory on your car seat.
Then you push two buttons in unison and then let one go after it stops beeping. Mine never stopped beeping. Hmmmmm.

I saw that left rear hydraulic ram was not down at all, which might be causing the error, even if the rig was level and fine.
But I was soaked in sweat by then, tractor dealer brought my little Massey back, needed a new parking brake cable, which is what I thought,
parking brake hanging up, sure felt lively taking it back to the barn. I had them do an oil change, fuel filters, etc.
Tractor gets very little hours but is super helpful to have when needed, since it will go anywhere on lawn without wrecking it.
Big Massey is a wrecking ball.

so back out I go with some printed instructions in hand, thanks to pdf sent by dealer.

landscapers/mow crew did a nice job finishing up the storm cleanup. The worst had already been done but
they finished it off and the place looked nice again. And the lawn is growing and growing from all the rain.

Okra shake; not for the constitutionally weak..... Taste the difference

 

[txdon]

Jay what language is that?:laughing:

 

[jbrumberg]

Don- I really do not know, but it may be Croatian. I did an internet recipe check for okra shakes and smoothies. I do like it in gumbos; sometimes fried.

I wonder what would have happened if Bluto had had a chocolate okra shake offering for Miss Olive Oil instead of Popeye's can of spinach? It looks like Bluto (aka Brutus) lived on okra fruit swirlies.

The NH started up today in typical "Boomer fashion" (jiggle the gear shift and jiggle the key a couple of times) to start....... and no white exhaust. I moved a couple of buckets of wood chips around and all is good. Tomorrow I will go farther afield to move some downed trees and tree limbs that obstruct my walking path.... not a place for a tractor to break down.

I took Brogen for his nail trimming this PM. 3 on 1 he did not have a chance. The Tundra is trashed again

You guys have ruined my appetite with all the okra talk.

Didnt get mexican for lunch, the place hadnt openned yet. When my wife described the location, i think its doomed before it opens, out of the way..
So she got me a version of jambalaya from a place we like. It was very good, but made with spaghetti noodles instead of rice.

I slept most of the afternoon after that. I still have nerve pain, and did very little today. I now think it comes every afternoon regardless of what i do.

Tomorrow is Dr appt with my general dude. He wont be able to help with this. See neurologists next week.

My PT cancelled for tomorrow.

My fat cat that was on me got off, then turned around and got right back on me again.



Cat tipped me over, we are upside down.
