Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

PJ, congrats.

I just watched the Outdoors with the Morgan’s episode from a year ago where Mike announced he quit his job to do YT full time, as it now made him more money and he didn’t have to travel. At age 54.

I’m still contemplating my next move. Right now it’s to retire at the end of the year. The uncertainty with no paycheck coming in is an uncomfortable feeling,

Tracking sons trip, he’s at Buc-ees in crossville. So should hit his hotel about 11.

Congrats PJ!
Are their products audio related? That would be icing on the cake. Well, maybe, that industry seems to have lots of instability.

Thanks, guys. No, not audio electronics. They're a contract builder for a bunch of industries, a big chunk of which is automotive.

Commute should be way better, Drew. No interstates, no bridges, ... just a couple of two-lane state highways through mostly farmland. 29 miles instead of 45 each way.
I'm really looking forward to the change.

Good morning (evening) everyone! Nice day again today, but now the wind is kicking up in front of the cold front coming tonight. Chances of some light snow tomorrow, only an inch or two.

Snow is no worry..... everyone is here that will be for thanksgiving. No need for travel. Food prep was started, finishing in the morning.

PJ, CONGRATS! Sounds like it will be a nice upgrade! Just the diminishing commute time is worth it..... then not having to dodge bullets... well enough said!

Ron, sorry to hear that the son got bitten. Hope he gets over it quickly.

Drew, sounds like a nice trip! Enjoy the soft bed!

Picked up the wifey's glasses today (1 out of 2 pairs). As I was standing there, another order was delivered.... I asked if they could check to see if her second pair was there.... the girl quickly looked and said "no", "they will probably come in Friday". By the time I got home, they called.... second pair was there!

I will be speaking to someone when we go back on Friday..... I hope they are ready for it..... maybe I won't be as aggravated by then...... considering that it's a 65 mile RT, maybe I'll push for some gas......

Time to go put up the feet....

Everyone have a great Thanksgiving..... I am definitely grateful

52° going for a high of 57° with light breeze but raining now, rained yesterday a little (.31"), and supposed to continue through Saturday, but no large amounts forecast. Our city has posted a request on the website to restrict watering, conserve water, etc. because the lake is down more than 20%.

I haven't posted about my physical problems lately because they seem so minor compared to what some of you are having. But I've been having what I'd consider a weird problem with my left knee. Weird because it's not too bad walking, or even sitting in a chair, but then aches so bad I can't sleep when I lie down. Maybe I'm just weird, but I slept on my stomach until I was in my fifty's and finally changed to my left side. I just have a devil of a time sleeping on my back; just doesn't work for me. So after weeks of sleeping, for short periods of time, in my recliner instead of the bed, I tried to get an appointment with the doctor who replaced my right knee several years ago, and he was booked up solid (or on vacation) for a month. So yesterday I saw a new young doctor in the same group, and was very favorably impressed with him.

X-rays show old age problems with the cartilage of the knee. I still cannot understand why it hurt so bad lying down anyway except on my back but not sitting up in a chair, or even driving. Now that left leg is the one that was affected by polio, so I thought that was a possibility. Anyway, I had told my wife that I wondered if the nerve in that knee couldn't be killed. I did NOT mention that possibility to the young doctor, BUT he gave me 3 options; one was surgery to kill that nerve but said he'd think that would be last choice, two was a medication (the name of which I've forgotten) that amounts to an incredibly large dose of an inflammatory medication that CAN cause some digestive problems, and three an injection in that knee that might last 2 or 3 months. I went for the injection; looked like a very big needle but didn't hurt at all. And he sent a prescription for something I've never used or heard of; Meloxicam 15mg. So I was comfortable and slept better in my chair for about 5 or 6 hours, then got up to find I'm dizzy and unsteady on my feet; apparentlyi a side effect o Meloxicam. Sometimes you just can't win.LOL

Oh well, daughters, son-in-law, granddaughter coming for dinner today so I think we'll have a pretty nice Thanksgiving. I'm cooking two smoked turkey breasts, and I've made two dozen deviled eggs, picked up two BIG pies at Sam's Club, and the kids are bringing everything else and I'm sure we'll have all we can eat for the rest of the week.LOL
