Morning all, 30 and looks like the sun is coming up.
Got some wood split, rack filled, some leaves moved from the side of the road drainage ditch.

Buppies - don;t push too hard, take it easy and hope Friday goes well for you.

Drew- would be interesting if they take the old shed parts and give you new shed parts, missing one panel o_O

RNG - looks like the tree sprouted a deer.

How is the knee today Don?

Stay safe and be well,

My dad is famous for his Christmas trees from the farm, tops he’d cut off, etc. don’t recall ever having a bought tree growing up. If there is a space in a tree, he’d drill a hole and add a branch. Lol
From reading your posts about him over the years, I've thought of your dad as a real good guy.

Good morning! 45° now, 55° later. There is a chance of some rain. Yesterday was only 51° or so and was very pleasant. And sunny.

Hope it goes well Friday buppies.

Well no machine delivery this week. The truck driver has problems with this trailer and needs parts that are not available. It is the only specialized trailer needed to move the machine available right at the moment. And it is broke. But the funny part of the whole thing is the dealer salesman changed the delivery from early December to this week to game the commission & bonus plans where he works. Since it isn't shipping, he is losing out on commission and bonus. 🤣 Since I think he is a prima donna, I thought this was really funny yesterday.

And another day from last year.

The morning blood draw started the day off. My right elbow was a giant black and blue mess from all the times it had been jabbed for blood. Then the ****** Youth showed up and wreaked their usual destruction on my bed and table. Waited and checked the iPad, no joy, the blockage was still there.

With getting some nutrients, I actually did feel better. My stomach and intestines were doing some rumbling.

This was my birthday last year. The nurses all wished me a Happy Birthday, my wife called and wished me a Happy Birthday. It wasn't a happy birthday, I was stuck in the hospital. In hindsight, it could have been worse, I could have been 6' under. Kandi & Mikaela gave me a birthday present, an extra cup of water & ice. I made some smart @ss remark, Kandi told me I must be feeling better, I was starting to be a smart @ss. She laughed.

I am friends with a pro motorcycle racer. A year ago, I just figured he thought I was an annoying fan. He sent me a text message wishing me a Happy Birthday fairly early in the morning. He also commented on how quiet I had been for the past month or so. Initially I didn't answer him since it was somewhat of downer day that the blockage was still the same size. Finally answered with a cryptic message that I had Covid and was in the hospital. That started a series of text messages from him that would last well into the New Year. Usually multiple times a day checking on how I was doing, did I need anything, etc. It really changed my perception of him. And made me realize there are people that care that are not in a close circle to you. He reads stuff on ADV, so he may see this.

Pulmonary took me off oxygen for most the day. I was able to maintain better than 96% BOL, even during the physical therapy session when I made a couple of laps of the room with the walker. The oxygen was turned on a very low flow rate for the night.

Before she left, Kandi told me she was working a short schedule for the week. And she wanted my opinion of the nurse that was going to take care of me Thursday & Friday. I found it odd, but told her I would. Seems Kandi was a fairly senior nurse and had some supervisory responsibilities.

Everyone stay out there!

Was cold enough to freeze the bird baths last night but warmed up before sunrise to thaw them some...now 42 going to 57.

Don, good news you got that knee taken care of...cedarcide before you know it!

Buppies, "when it rains it pours." Prayers for better health.

Sodamo, greenhouse looking real nice. Fresh coffee and macadamias if I was planting. 😁 Hope things go well with Sophie.

Drove down to visit with my mom...She's still so sharp and well for 90. We went walking around the Virginia Beach Farmers Market and Amish Furniture and Mennonite Bakery shop. Found a near perfect dining room table...live edge walnut with a meandering stream of river pebbles down the middle covered by glass to make it level with the wood...only problem with it was the little tag that said $5.5K. It was certainly created by a master, and likely worth every penny. My wife and mom had shrimp and corn chowder at the Princess Anne County Grill. I tasted and was impressed.

Good Morning
It’s 35 and likely will top 50 with slight chance of rain later in the day.

Yesterday went by pretty quickly, after breakfast replaced a headlight for my daughter, got a rear wiper blade for the Prius while I was at Advance Auto. The clerk asked me if I wanted him to install it. Part of me wanted to be insulted, but the reality is that from his side of the counter I probably appeared to just be another confused old person. So I said sure, and he told me about his ‘68 390 Mustang while he did it.

Spent the rest of the day in front of a computer working on FAA stuff. Today will be a continuation of that. Not much to do outside until the ground freezes or dries out so I can use my new grapple and chainsaw to clean up fallen trees.

56°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 70° today. Wind warning for later today, expecting gusts up around 50mph.

Stayed up way too late last night playing around in the studio. Going to be a long day today.

Wife is celebrating the 25th anniversary of her 29th birthday today.

Nice work on the meters, Ron. The output side will help keep your neck limber.
