Good morning!!!!

[lostcreekranch]

There were 2 doctors in the practice that I've used for several years. One of them thinks a single dose is enough and the other thought 2 doses, 5 years apart was better. So I had the PPS V23 on 2/9/2007 and again on 9/10/2013. Then I had the Prevnar 13 on 2/3/2017. I can't even remember the last time I had a cold; much less the flu or pneumonia.:laughing: Of course I can't say whether that's because I haven't had them, or just because my memory is fading.:laughing:

I’ve not had so much as a cold since I retired. Perhaps that I’m not making 1-2 round trips to SE Asia per month in long, silver, germ laden, jet powered, tubes?

I also get my flu shot annually.

66ｰF and rain this morning, going up to 75ｰ today. Storms rolled through about 5:15. Lots of lightning and some big rain drops, but didn稚 last to long.

Contractor got the retaining walls up and back filled yesterday before they left, alleviating some of our concern about the rain today.

Sitting at the Kia dealer this morning while they re-tire my Soul and address a couple of minor recall items. I think this might be the first time I致e posted here from my iThingie. Haven稚 figured out yet how to add pics.

How do you like your Soul?

Good Morning!!!! 55F @ 7:00AM. Sunny. High 77F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.

I always get a flu shot, but still sometimes get a cold, especially around the holidays when sick people show up at the various gatherings.:muttering: When I was working, I was around people everyday and I think my resistance was higher because of it. Now it seems I get everything I'm exposed to...

Off to the annual gathering of the 4WD Vanagon folks. Truck camping, but at least I'll have a chance to see what people are doing on the inside of their vans to make them more useful. I've also got a few things to check on the chassis/suspension to see how to protect the underside from rocks and such. No internet service at the campsite, so don't send out the search parties if you don't hear much from me over the weekend.

Hope everyone has a good one!

I have the same results with sickness since I retired. Most of the colds, sinus infections and similar sickness have disappeared. My sinus and cold problems were from motel rooms. I still get sick. But it is mild stuff. 4 times with pneumonia is more than enough for me.

No reports and no search parties. What our we going to do with our spare time this weekend? :confused3:

Good morning everyone.

"Drew, be careful. The authorities will not come take him somewhere and give him 3 hots and a cot unless he breaks the law bad enough to go to jail. That is about the only way they can do anything to him unfortunately. Always re-active instead of proactive. The authorities don't have or don't like to spend money on crazy people. That's why we see so many in the streets homeless. I have a suspicion he is one of the major reasons the previous owners moved. If I knew that he had waved guns around at people, I would call the law at any/every mis-step and wouldn't go outside unarmed. If I knew he had a rifle, I would, well, I don't know what exactly I'd do, but most of my awake thoughts would be concerning it. Hopefully there aren't children around."- Kyle

Kyle- Well posted. I agree.


Brogen because of his inability to open his jaws seems to have difficulty cooling off so I am walking him earlier and more often during the cooler parts of the day.

Temperature was in the low and humid 60ºF's with todays' 5:30AM walk = shorts weather today already. I have a lot of yard work, fruit tree pruning, wood and rock moving to do. And it is already sweating weather with temperature in the high 70F’s. (Walk #2). The fruit trees are just starting to show signs of bud swell. This is really late. I guess I’ll be pruning today. Maybe some decent Tstorms here later today.

Yesterday I weeded out Herb Garden #1 to transplant the rosemary and found some overwintered oregano that may survive. The rosemary did not "Winter" well indoors and the transplanted oregano fared far worse. I am surprised that the oregano survived this Winter, but I am not complaining. They now share a common bed. My (perennial) thyme has not yet appeared.

RNG- I hope that you have a great time at the 4WD Vanagon meet up. I hope that you stay well "hydrated." "The older I get, the less I care about what people are saying."- RNG One of the few benefits of aging..

I hope those on the mend keep mending, those who are "healthy" stay that way, and that everyone has a decent day today.

My thoughts, wishes, and prayers for all.

72 degrees this morning, going for a high of 84, and a very light rain just started, with the heavy stuff just west of us and on the way. We're under a severe thunderstorm watch until 2 p.m.; it's just past 10 a.m. now. Of course I hope we don't have high winds and hail, but we're glad to see some rain.

And as with some others of you, my wife and I have gotten the flu shot every year for at least 30 years.

Good Morning All, 78 now going to 88. No idea what the low was. I cut two over grown bushes in front of the house. They were about 10 ft across and now about 3 ft. Got a pu load with it stomped down 3 or 4 times. Took a benadryl last night for the mold dust and pollen in the bushes and slept til 9. Need to mow today and hope to get that done.

Randy glad you are on the mend.

Have a great day. Ed
