Good morning!!!!

[LouNY]

For afib I check pulse on my neck. I’ve had 2 heart procedures for it. It’s better, but still get it. My Dr no longer gets excited if I have it, and it’s been less frequent.

I could never tell if or when I was in afib, my wife could.
I would have to get the blood pressure cuff and reader and watch the readings.
I had 3 conversions at different times and several different meds and they couldn't get under control.
Ended up getting an ablation (were they go in and scar the heart to prevent the electric pulses from traveling),
as the afib is unwanted electrical signals.

I’ve had 2 ablations. Cryo and the heat one.

I’m talking about 3ft tall, barely enough to grab. Just got grapple so haven’t tried a tree yet.

Oh .. cut them off at ground level .. probably with a lopper .. and stump kill them with 20% Remedy / 80% diesel. EZ.

 

[txdon]

Cutting cedars off at ground level will kill them 99% of the time. Cutting youpon or mesquite off at ground level they will come back 99% of the time.

Rick when you put roundup/diesel under an oak tree are you sure you won't kill it?

I stump kill with Remedy / Diesel Don. I just treat the stumps of the yaupon. I've used this method since 1990 and no ill effects.

We had mesquite at our Fayette County Ranch. I used our post / tree hydraulic puller to remove it, root and all.

BTW .. I've had my Private Applicators License since 1990 and attend regular courses to learn latest processes / procedures.

Good evening all. 48F for the start, partly cloudy light breeze. Sky clouded up through the day, wind really picked up and high temp was 68F. Bike ride today, after lunch and nap got some splitting done, and wife helped

I just joined the wicked club. Put it off for years. Was kind of hard to justify until I got GBS and it now makes some tasks easier. Mine will get lightly used.

Whenever I consider, I somehow move to thinking a 4in1 might serve me better.

 

[RedNeckGeek]

Thanks. I have Afib, had a stent last summer, and valve replacement in December. So I hope a medication adjustment fixes it.

Afib is nothing to fool around with, Randy. My mother was diagnosed with it, but the doc didn't do anything about it. She had an extended episode of afib that was long enough that clots formed inside her heart. When it started pumping again, those clots went to every part of her body, including her brain. That's called a stoke, but there was damage to her kidneys, intestines, and lord knows what else. She died a long, lingering death two years later.

Like Drew just related, you need to get whatever treatment is appropriate to stop the problem in it's tracks NOW, not after CoVid-19 is just a bad memory.:2cents:

I then turned the left side volume knob all the way down and back up again ... and lo and behold, there was volume again. Guess my hearing on that side isn't quite as bad as I thought after all.

Such episodes bring into question Einstein's assertion that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is insanity. The difference is that the software introduces unexpected and seemingly random changes that are beyond the user's comprehension or even awareness.

Three days ago, I followed instructions on the Weather Underground to add a web cam to my personal weather station page. Tried two different ways to get it to work, with different settings, and nothing. Checked the WU forums and LOTS of folks are experiencing the same problem, but were getting no help from support. So I penned a note summarizing what I'd done to the one support person that seemed to be participating on the forum, and this morning got a "try it again" response. And sure enough, without changing anything in my rig, it started working.:confused2: I call stuff like that the ghost in the machine, which in this case was probably having the problem pinball around the WU system long enough that someone with the skillz to fix it finally got word that something was broken, at a moment when they could focus long enough to effect a fix...:fiery:

 

[RedNeckGeek]

Blazing Saddles had a memorable quick sand scene!

So did almost every Tarzan and Lone Ranger TV episode!

I thought the same thing. When I got this place, it had 12' high poison oak plants with two inch trunks, all over. No way I could deal with them by hand. I thought I could grab them with the 4in1 and pull them out, but just ended up breaking them off where they were grabbed. I use it sometimes to pick up small trees and stumps, but from what I've seen on YouTube, I'd have been much better off with a root grapel to loosen up the plant roots first and then lift it out of the ground. The ultimate solution was my neighbor with a bulldozer, but that's a whole 'nuther story...

 

[RedNeckGeek]

Which reminds me, this CoVid-19 thing has a lot in common with poison oak, except CoVid-19 is deadly. You can't see, feel, hear, smell, or sense either one, both take hours or days before you have any symptoms, you can spread both of 'em around in the time you're asymptomatic, and neither one has a good treatment regimen. So the same things you do around poison oak, or any of its cousins, is what you should be doing every time you go outside your home and interact with other people.:2cents:

Yea, I just don’t have trees or really any rooted stock to pull.

35 right now...high about 40 today. Probably some rain this afternoon...

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the temp is 31°F and the high will be 48. Wind N 3 mph. A mix of sun and cloud.

This going to town for the mail every day will get old real quick.

Although the tractor is back together more or less, I have no work for it right now.


Have a safe and healthy day all

 

[mpham]

Morning all! 35 going to 44 today. Looks like partly cloudy skies with rain tomorrow. I'm still working but my wife was furloughed without pay. We are keeping as little human contact as possible while still getting the job done.
Dam shame that the virus made it into a veterans home in Holyoke, Ma. They are actively looking for the carrier that brought it into the building.

Hope everyone is hunkered down and safe.

 

[wngsprd]

41 going to 61 and very windy later today.

Rick, thanks for keeping us informed on herbicides...I'd remembered you were licensed and appreciate your knowledge. I've never used anything stronger than gly here.

Took Coco to the battlefield forest park to get some exercise and had it all to ourselves. When coming home at about 11am, pulled into our drive and saw the chupacabra coyote sitting on the edge of our woods scratching, about 100 yards away. I ran in to get a rifle and when I came back it took off. I think it had mange. Also found a bunch of fresh skunk cone-shaped digs in the yard 1 step from where I park the truck.

We picked up another grocery online order from a different store yesterday...not nearly as good overall experience on the account setup or online shopping, but their pickup procedures were better..."open your door or trunk or hatch, and get back into your vehicle and stay. We'll load and even put things into your cold bags." We still struck out on getting any paper products, butter, or rice.

Grass finally dried out enough by 6pm to do about an hour of mowing....it's that time of year that some of the grasses grow like wildfire and other grasses and weeds just sit there with their little flowers looking beautiful.

 

[Eric Salop]

Good morning,

Despite paddling for a couple of hours in the wetland yesterday, I wasn't able to get a definitive answer as to where all the water goes. The flow was visible, however instead of flowing down to a single point, it spreads and then disappears over 20', so I think it must be passing through the base of the rail track instead of in the drain below.



I found the faded baler twine that I tied to the railroad fence some 17 years ago, which lined up with the outfall on the other side, but just like then, I couldn't locate any pipe entrance on my land, I think it must be buried deep under silt on the railroad property. My neighbour's brother once went at it with drain rods from the other side of the track. I wasn't there to see it, but by all accounts he came home looking like a swamp creature from a horror film.

I just joined the wicked club.

BEF, do take care - a search for wicked club shows people getting a lot closer than CV social distancing guidelines :confused2:

Rick, may I ask what the stump killing active ingrediant is in the "Remedy" that you mix with diesel ?

 

[riptides]

41 outside this AM. Heading to lower 60's.
May do more string trimming today. Need to relocate more tiger lilies too.

Eric....you are a brave man. No way I would go in that muck.

Have a great day all. Be safe.

 

[daugen]

Looks like a nice sunny day here, high in the 60's.
Realtors and photographer come at 11am to do inside pictures which means
I have to get piles of stuff off the tops of things to make it look less cluttered.
Which includes getting a big plastic bin to put things in, and then put them back after the pics are done.


Phil, even if they find the guy, he could have been an unknown carrier. It's why I think everyone who comes in should wear a mask at the minimum.
And hand them hand sanitizer and watch them use it. And no kisses... it's the time for air kisses.
