Kyle- My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers for your daughter and the ABA program.

David- Good luck with the propane challenge.

Randy- Thanks for sharing your Mom’s birthday. I am happy the celebration went well for all involved.:cool::D. Every good day is a gift. I am happy to read the truck challenge has been + addressed.

The Notre Dame Cathedral fire is a loss for humanity.:(

We did eat at the Belly of the Beast restaurant for lunch today before PT. An interesting”groover-like” experience. They make their own scrapple. It was not greasy; very good. Looking at most of their entree presentations, I am surprised they even serve what I ate. We will return some day for lunch/brunch. I got my scrapple fix for another decade.;). I got introduced to a few more racks today in PT. ROM and strength improving still. My last scheduled PT is on Wifey’s birthday later this month. Mr. Knee had a decent workout this PM; sore, stiff, and tired now. Wifey’s making turkey/chicken chili tonight; smells great. All I have to do is make some garlic/parmesan cheese bread toasts and enjoy the remainder of the evening.

Not as much rain here today as I had anticipated, but the wind has been increasing in velocity all afternoon/early evening as predicted.

My truck runs great, but the exhaust was soaked with oil from end to end on both banks, so it’s a bit stinky right now. Ran down the bypass and accelerated up through the gears a few times to heat it up, but it’s going to take a while to get it all off. He did the best he could with brake cleaner but you just can’t get it all.

"There is a church named after her 8th great-grandfather in Northampton, MA- The Jonathan Edwards Church."

Interesting reading. He was "dismissed" from the church and yet 269 years later it still bears his name.

Don- "Fire & Brimstone" never worked down in the Valley of NoHo even in the 1600's; there must be something in the H2O ? I think he got run out of town for winking at the wife of some influential congregant. I think he got a cow for severance pay. According to lore there was an "Indian Cellar" in his house. My late FIL found all this stuff out with his genealogy research. Wifey & I had no clue; maybe living a haunted mid1800's circa 17 room farmhouse when we first moved to MA was a welcoming :rolleyes: He's buried in Lee, MA. Apparently he found an accepting congregation.

Colonel John Bryant and his one eyed wife Eliza seemed happy to share their home with us. Their house was adorned by old paintings. (including 1 eyed Eliza) and Spanish American War relics on all the walls. A spiral entrance stairway entrance where someone could really do a good job hanging themselves. And a grandfather clock w/o chimes (70 miles away) that chimed one night :eek::eek: during a winter T-Storm blizzard. I never believed in this stuff until I lived it. Cold spots (easy in an unheated old farmhouse), but significantly colder spots. Our overnight guests always heard footsteps going up the backstairs to the bedroom. They always went up; never down.... A consistent report. He loved fly fishing. He was there:eek: when I tied flies sometimes. I inherited his his old bamboo flyrod and a couple of his flies still looking functional and his book on Fly Fishing. I will try to copy it's preface. Ouija boards were forbidden by me after an :eek: episode. And honestly I got chased out of the attic. I do not scare easily.

A cool 61 today. Currently 52.

Got a phone call this morning from a buddy wanting help loading a couple old cows that had been giving him trouble. So I headed over. They were in the trailer when I got there. He said they walked right in no problems. So I still road the hour + to the sale barn with him. Got back and took care of birds. Then returned helium tank from Saturday. Got home in enough time to get the pen extension done before dark and cows still got to eat. Littlest one spent 2 hours outside helping me with pen. I’m tired.

Toppop good to hear about your moms birthday and that she did well. Also good news on truck.

Kyle. Glad you found her an ABA. We have seen our son grow by leaps and bounds with ABA. It’s very intense. We are currently fighting a guy issue with our oldest. It’s an off and on thing. We are trying different things to balance the gut but not having any luck. We’ve been talking about trying to find him a gut doctor. Wife’s trying to do some research but not coming up with anything. Thought we had a recommendation for one but she’s retired.

Good to hear knees are mending.

Bad news about Cathedral Norte Dame. Luckily they moved several statues out recently for restoration.

I love scary stories.

Good evening all. 52F for the start, light breeze, mostly clear skies. Wind came up quickly, some clouds in the afternoon, high temp about 74F. Choir practice, lawn not growing fast so no mowing, swept up porches and sidewalks, bike ride, nap.
Randy happy birthday to your mom, good news on the truck.
I remember the stinky coolant as well, the water base coolant was the worst, apparently the bacteria that caused the small did not like the oil based coolants as well.
Run Gator blades on the 60 inch RFM, as well as on the 22 in mower here with good results.
PJ sorry to hear about your mower issues.
Kyle hope the ABA helps
Bird, the catkins have finished dropping here as well as live oak leaf change as well.
Hate to Notre Dame burning, wondering if it will be rebuilt?
Antone hear from Ed?
prayers for all
