Sounds like it was a good fire drill, got you really thinking. That reminds me I need to trim a limb so our newer truck can make it up to the house.

Has anyone got the shingles shot? I want it, but until a certain age, you have to get a prescription from the doctor and I don't know if insurance will cover it. I had chicken pox at 8 years of age, and my mother got shingles when she was in her 60's.[/QUOTE

It is catch 22.

My previous insurance refused pay for it unless administered by a doctor. The doctor at the clinic couldn't do it because they don't stock the vaccine (due to cost)
The pharmacy would administer it but I would have to pay full price about 230 USD.
Now I have Medicare so I should revisit the issue.

Very humid here, 79F, not very hot, but you can chew the air. Cleaning up the shop a bit, then I think a beer is in order. I feel better, thanks for the good thoughts, I took a nap today, tired from not sleeping, but it is getting better. Going to the doc Monday, normal visit.

Not sure about Medicare but, I got mine before I retired and it was completely covered by my health insurance with no copay. Got it during my annual physical. Got my pneumonia shot a year earlier, same way.

RNG, Medicare does not cover vaccinations under Part A or Part B. It might be covered under Part D drug coverage.

Howdy David. I was just hiking in that area today - Turk Mountain.

That is cool!

I was specifically in Nellysford in the WinterGreen resort area...

Be well all,
David

Around 73F right now but very humid ... only made it to 85F today, one degree short of the predicted high.

Just had storms move through the area ... came down pretty good. The stations around us report anywhere from a little under 1 1/4 inches to just under 2" of rain so it sounds like we may have gotten a decent soaking.

Watch NYPD and then back up to the shop for a little bit.

Good evening all. 77F at start, almost clear windy. Made to 96F mostly sunny,very windy. Stepdaughter is trading her golf cart, had to get it back to here house, charger decided it would not recharge batteries . Ended up using two battery chargers to charge a pair of 6 volts at the same time, got overall voltage up to 37.2 and made the trip back with no issues. Had some shoveling to finish off when I got there, just don't last very long in 100+ heat index

61°F going to 81° and clear in Berlin.

Didn't do anything too exciting, know no of an easy day yesterday. Saw our fellow travelers off to Prague.

Be safe
Have a great day.

Good morning. We have quite a strong wind from the east, so plans to put a second coat of oil on the utility door and make a start on the windows on that side of the house put on hold :thumbsup: I suppose I'm not going to be totally excused from painting duties though, as our front doors face west and they need some attention too :thumbdown:

Some aspects of rural life are still new to me. When we were building the house we had a porta loo that I would empty every week. Since then we had a sceptic tank installed and yesterday was a first for me - the first time I have ever seen a sceptic tank emptied. I was going to tell you what fascinated me about it, but breakfast is waiting and yours may be too, so probably best I stop right here.
