Ooooo, what a day. Cardiologist wants to do a nuclear stress test in 3 weeks. Doesn't like the swelling of the leg..... In addition to the problem sleeping....in addition to the few PVC beats on the ECG.... Explained that it is more of a "rule out possible problem vs. You HAVE a problem". He also wants a full blood workup. He doesn't suspect anything is wrong, but wants to make sure.

Other than that, the weather was an absolute tease today... sunny, calm, high of 71°. BUT....only a tease... windy tomorrow afternoon, Friday gusts to 50mph, the weekend highs in the low 40's, chance of snow at night. Anybody else on the weather roller coaster? Temp swing today was 52°.

I hope tomorrow's visit with the ortho surgeon doesn't have any surprises.....

Prayers for your cardio.

No Mostly, I was in the Ranger, not the Mustang LOL. I would have been going faster in that.
i was lucky to get home from Gatton today as they evacuated Grantham again while I was shopping. Had to do some fast talking to SES and then past 2 lots of police to get through. Grantham was totally deserted. They said flood waters were on the way. (again) I had to drive through some (3 lots) to get home. No problem in the Ranger.
Bought a new diesel Jerry can and filled it and my old one just in case. Power went off briefly again sometime last night but it didn't affect us. Wondering how some of my working neighbours are going to get home tonight.
I managed to mow and whipper snip yesterday. Probably got an acre and a half done with the ZT. It was a hot sunny day out of the blue. Thunderstorms and more rain today. Missed the 5 - 6 cm hailstones that some areas got.
Transport company has tried to deliver my flail mower parts twice now from Brisbane but met roadblocks/floods each time.

Prayers for dry weather. And Happy birthday to Doug's wifey!

Bad news Roy and Bird. My EGO lawnmower will not start. There must be a short someplace. I looked at some YouTube videos the one that jumped all the safety switches with a sort jumper wire looked promising but the ones they were working on were newer, so I decided to just get a new mower because I need a new battery anyway.

Kyle If you want an challenging EGO I'll be in Giddings next week and you can have it free with free delivery. I'll throw in an older battery and slow charger and a few other options. But if you fix it in 5 minutes tell me it took you 5 days.

Yes Don, I will try to see if I can get it going. My wife says it would be a good workout tool for her and the kids.

Drew, I wish the Russian soldiers were just delivering muffins....

Drew, I wish the Russian soldiers were just delivering muffins....

for world peace I would surely donate my muffins
they taste better than they look, glad I added some extra Truvia to add a touch more sweetness since
I took the box mix (whole grain) with all its sugar and doubled the mix with an equal amount of a whole grain 7 blend flour I have.
That cuts the sugar content of each muffin way down, and the minced apples add some extra sweetness.
But much less sweet than anything store bought. Wish I wasn't out of applesauce, keep forgetting to buy it.
Added a little vanilla and some ground flax seed. And one more egg than asked for since I added so much more flour.
So a somewhat healthy muffin.
Still had half a cup of canola oil but that was about half requested. I figured the blueberries and apples would keep the moisture in and they did.

Almost melted half a stick of butter to put in mix but decided folks can heat them up and add their own butter.

Here's a link to the only Ukrainian I'm aware of on TBN (there may be others).

Vyacheslav built his own 2 wheel walk behind tractor. It is awesome watching his ingenuity genius, utilizing what's available to make his own gardening machine. I hope you enjoy the thread as mush as I did. I posted I'm praying for his country and his family's safety.

Homemade Two wheel tractor

Like smoke and oakum - 30F outside and slick - man, it's slick. Skated all the way across and down the porch and out to the Taco Wagon. Glad nobody saw that performance. HEAVY fog is coating everything with ice and frost.

It got up to 45F today but winter isn't ready to give up yet. It is supposed to get down to 15F tonight.

This guy can Play.

Chris

Yes Chris, that guy is fantastic. I have seen his version of "Somebody that I used to know" and it is great too.

Here's one of my favorites,

Notice Doyle Bramhall II playing upside down guitar. My brother played this way, because we were poor, and he was left handed. Somebody loaned him a right handed guitar when he was maybe 13. brother has been gone from this world since 1990.

63°F and no rain.

Dermatologist appointment for Sophie this morning. Initial appointment with this guy but he has treated several friends over the years.
Then off to Safeway, $5 Friday. Hopefully back home in time to salvage a few hours work.


Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Yes Don, I will try to see if I can get it going. My wife says it would be a good workout tool for her and the kids.

All boxed up and ready to deliver next week. I found the receipt, in 2014 I bought the 20" push with 5ah battery and quick charger for $499. It pushes so easy your wife and kids will not get a decent workout. I'm including a reg. charger and 3 - 2.5ah end of life batteries that run for a very short time but enough to test if you get it fixed. (They turned the blade on the new mower for a minute.) Also included is side chute, plug, bag and owners manual.

Bird do you use the bag, side chute or the plug. I just use the plug in the Summer and mulch the grass. For the removal of dead grass in the Spring I use the bag.
