Drew- that is fantastic news- you got your Christmas present early this year.

I’m a whimp compared to you Don. Looks good though I’ve seen enough to know

Ken I was just feeling sorry for myself I’ll do better

Great news Drew thanks for all Gods blessings

66°F and 2.86 inches rain.

Definitely too wet to mow. Will be an inside day.

Finally solved a mower mystery, the toe in problem on the red Craftsman. I had replaced most of the wearable parts and finally quit in frustration. Yesterday, my friend Dave decided it was his turn. Rather than lifting with the floor jack he used a strap from rafter. Rather quickly he found the frame was cracked right at the front axle. Same frame I had mended earlier this year.

Guys won at head and foot.

Prayers for
Be safe
Have a great day

Good afternoon. Being outside looses some of it's appeal to me in winter when the days are dull and damp. This morning I was out setting mole traps in the hay meadow by the drive. It took longer than I expected because the wet soil was slightly reluctant to reveal the path of the underground tunnels. I find drier soils are easier, then there is more friction, which makes the difference between soil and airspace easier to detect when pushing down the probing rod. Or maybe it is because in conditions like today I wear gloves to keep out the cold and that decreases sensitivity of touch ?? Too much thinking ...

Ron, good to hear the bland food is helping Sassy.

Another nice thing about the electric chainsaw is the slow rate of cut.

I like the relative quiet too, can hear much better how the tree is reacting to the relief of tension.

Looks nice doesn’t it

Bups, it will look fine once the stiches are out and healed. How come you have so few wrinkles ? Is it the upside to all that Vaseline after past treatments ?


Drew, Christmas presents don't come much better.

Don, I will be thinking of your knee each time I zip up my jacket.
I wouldn't be surprised if your wife has a special Advent calendar this year - counting down the days until she can pull those staples !

 

[Rich B1]

Good news on your scan Drew!

That knee is ugly Don....

 

[riptides]

Sheesh Don. I don't know what to say. I hope that works out for you, really.

I think a refund may be in order for that work though. I have had some serious experiences with stitchery and have not come across something that - invasive. For the lack of a better word.

I hope you heal well. Get well soon.

Rich, thank you so much for sharing your ordeal, and in such detail. A bit like a good book I guess and even knowing the outcome I found myself a bit misty eyed reading this last entry. Glad you survived.
