Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

66°F and .57 inches rain.

Got a call from my ophthalmologist, due to a cancellation my cataract surgery has been moved up to next Thu 4/7

Did get my louvered door painted and moved to a protected area before the rain. Reinstall today.

Invited for BBQ steaks this afternoon at neighbor who had the power problem.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

RNG, be careful on those sections you measured at 20 degrees incline. UTV should be ok, but that would scare me on a tractor.

Those figures were gradient, which is measured in percent, Drew. And they were for the driveway. So 20% would be one foot of rise for every five feet of travel. If I get a chance today, I'll walk the steepest section of the new clearing with the GPS and see what it measures. It's easily twice as steep in some sections. Enough that the front wheels will come up off the ground when I'm floating the bucket while backing up. Yeah, plenty of opportunities to max out the pucker factor.

Happy Birthday, Mrs Rich. And many more

Good morning to all! Low of 37°, but only going up to 45°. A few sprinkles overnight and this morning, but not enough to even register in the rain gauge. I'll have to rely on the "official" report later. Disappointing to say the least with all the hype the weather guessers gave this storm!

Got the tractor greased, and a bunch of errands taken care of over the past couple of days. All of the utilities came out and marked..... except for the only one that is confirmed to be in the area that I will be putting in the post holes.

I'm not kidding that I have cut this phone line 5 times over the last 20 years.... I have always called for utilities location, specifically noting that there is a phone line. This time was no different. I received the confirmation from the locator service, but they did not list 'Century Link' on the utilities list....

So I called them back, explained that there was a confirmed phone line in the area.... the tech specifically listed Century Link to be notified.... OK, then got their confirmation. The following day, got their notification that there is no phone line in the area and was "all clear"..... Really? They were just here 2 months ago to repair the line....

I guess I will just cut it again! I have a general knowledge of where it is at, but can't see under the dirt! One would think they would have marked it in their system by now.

The biggest errand for today was taking Max to the groomer today. He's all done, back at home, and now relaxing from his ordeal! Now I need a nap....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Mrs. Rich!

David, good luck with the cataract surgery.... not sure if you feel the schedule getting moved up is a good or bad thing....

I hope everyone has a great day!

Backing out of my drive I saw my flag was down in the dogwood tree, torn to shreds and now the rope is broken. So I got out and pulled it out of the tree. Then driving to work I wasn’t feeling too good, so I turned right instead of left, got gas at Costco, went in and picked up a few things, then came home.
Just light headed from the cold.
Got some work stuff I’m doing from home.
Been trying to call a government agency about something, keep getting “we are experiencing high call volumes, call another time”. This been happening for days.

Think I need a nap.

txdon said, "Bird, thanks for not taking all the rain. Hope your booster did not keep you awake, did you get the normal symptoms?"

Don, my arm is a little bit sore, as expected, but no big deal. But I have no idea why I just did not sleep last night. I went to bed early, laid there awake for an hour or so, got up and watched another TV program, went back to bed, still laid there wide a wake, so I got up about 1:30 a.m. checked news and weather on the Internet, did my morning exercises, watched part of a TV movie, even ate a good breakfast and did the dishes, went back to bed at 5 a.m., gave up on sleeping, and got up again at 6:30 a.m. No pain to amount to anything; just couldm't sleep.

Margaret got the same shot, went to bed about 10:45 p.m. and slept like a log until 7:30 a.m. this morning, and has a slightly sore arm just I have.

I have no idea what the problem was, but I'll sure be surprised if I'm not tired and sleepy enough to sleep tonight.

Ted getting my surgery moved up is a good thing. Originally scheduled 5/27 for 1 eye. Good shot of having both eyes done by then now. I purposely put my name on the wait list to be called if a cancellation. I just need to prep for the light duty period.

No one mentioned Lone Star beer, the "National Beer of Texas".
Used to buy a pony keg for our Thursday night party at good old Southwest Texas State .

Same day I’m having mine! Just got my all clear from the doctor today saying I’m healthy enough to get it done.

Good for you Randy. I opted to get the Toric lens. Sure hope it’s worthwhile.
