Joel, a hockey stick is like a boat propeller, you never ding them til you use them...hope she got a good
wack in anyway.

ok, off in rv, let's see what kind of adventure I can get into.
studied the potholes on this past trip, roads have mostly dried off.
need to get gas and gas.

It was a good battle. She doesn't take crap from the boys, she got 2 minutes in the box for it.

The juice came back on 20 minutes ago. It took the two of us 1 hour and 15 minutes to run the 14/2 wire through all the trusses (I have a truss floor in this place) to the north wall. Two wires. All I need to do to power the outlet when I get it is turn the breakers on. That will be the 'moment of truth'. I know I wired it right.

60 deg here.
not supposed to hit below freezing in the 10 day forecast.

Watched service online. Son said at one point FB complained about copyright on our singing, yet we have a copyright license to broadcast all the songs in our book. I didn't notice a drop when watching it.

They will bring me home some lunch from the italian place.

Tiger upset a whole bowl of water on the kitchen floor that I had to wipe up. That didn't help me feel any better. I think my light headedness is caused from being stopped up...

Glad popg had good flight to Pontiac yesterday. My Great Aunt and Uncle lived there from 1940s till he died in 1991. Worked in the auto industry. They were snowbirds in Daytona Beach after he retired. In the 60's they would come visit us and I have pictures with them when I was young. In 1979 i visited them in Daytona. I went to his funeral up near Pontiac. Their daughter lived up there and passed away about 10 yrs ago, and I got a few dollars from the estate. Here's a picture with me with my Great Aunt at a long gone covered bridge in 1966, and one of him and I at a church cemetery overlooking the Ohio river in the background.

65°F and .01 inches rain.

Not raining right now but forecast is 82% chance. Good chance it starts before I finish coffee. That would dash my hopes for another good day mowing.

So likely a combination of piddling around inside mixed with energy conservation.

Prayer for all
Be safe
Have a great day

 

[rswyan]

57F and partly cloudy, calling for a high of 62F for the day. Sun finally peeked out after being overcast this morning.

Woman off with neighbor to visit a former neighbor who moved back into the city after her husband passed. She's been undergoing treatment for cancer and had a pretty rough time of it but seems to be doing better now.

I just ran the garage door up to let the warm air in.

Need to schedule electric bill which came in mail yesterday for payment.

Hopper feeder at least is due for a refill.

Probably get back to working on the wiring in the garage today since it's nice out.

Woman's Hibiscus could stand to be repotted so might tackle that plus some further straightening up and cleaning as well.

Then get get back to bathroom renos later maybe after the sun goes down.

Only one more week until Daylight Savings Time kicks in ...

And little under two until the start of Spring ...

Hope everyone is having a fairly decent Sunday.

I had a kidney stone removal in Sydney back in 68. They use some sort of extraction basket routed thru existing opening, non surgical. Done in hospital. I thought all those cute nurses were Nuns. My bad, their caps/uniforms thru me off.

 

[daugen]

the entire family is out sunning, their day at the beach.
and like folks with no tan, first day out has to be a short one.
interesting that second and following leaves on a cucumber plant
are rough edged while the first set of leaves are very smooth.
I wonder what adaptation caused that

Part B is inside in the nursery.

good morning

Not much sleep here.
One son developed water in the lungs and was hospitalized
Another son had thoughts of suicide. Was trying to talk to him as long as we could. Hope he got help

Prayers for your sons. TBH, I don’t think I know how to handle the suicide talk. Our granddaughter is in therapy for such thinking, we are clueless.

 

[scott_vt]

Good Afternoon Guys,
Not exactly fine wood working but I managed to get it done with a fine weather day in 60 plus degrees!

 

[two_bit_score]

Good Morning after noon. Overcast mostly calm conditions at almost 80f. Wow. Some of yall were still snowed in just yesterday.

good morning

Not much sleep here.
One son developed water in the lungs and was hospitalized
Another son had thoughts of suicide. Was trying to talk to him as long as we could. Hope he got help

Prayers those issues get resolved quickly. I am sure it's not easy to deal with.

I got a feeling I'm going to need to take him for further eval and help, which means an hour's drive to a bigger city.

Prayers Kyle! So many kids are having issues with hard to diagnose ailments. A friend's daughter has been having issues walking for 4 months and doctors cant say what is wrong. Prayers for resolution quickly!

very pleased to report no leaks at all when water put back on in rv.

daugen, that is GOOD news!

Son got asked back to job at ice cream place in town. Will start tomorrow.
He is really happy about that which is great.

More good news! Great to hear kenmbz.

Initial report on the Scag, nothing really definitive. Did order set of new gaskets.

We sure pay a lot for mowers for them to be so tempremental.

Neck trying to improve tree fell on driveway moved with tractor will cut up when feel better. Neck till swollen from surgery

You are on my prayer list Buppies. Heal soon!

TBH, I don’t think I know how to handle the suicide talk. Our granddaughter is in therapy for such thinking, we are clueless.

I think it gets more difficult the closer it is to you.

Good Afternoon Guys,
Not exactly fine wood working but I managed to get it done with a fine weather day in 60 plus degrees!

Look like a great mailbox post!

Hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday afternoon! Prayers for all and our Nation!

Reflector or two?

 

[Wagtail]

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low was a cool 5.1C and it's presently 17.8C, fairly clear with a breeze + gusts.

Lovely day, yesterday. The rain event (almost a fortnight ago) has certainly greened everything up, to the point where I'm thinking of mowing around the house/driveway this arvo.

That's about it, take care all.

 

[scott_vt]

Good Evening Thomas,

Reflector or two?

Yes very soon !

 

[buckeyefarmer]

good morning,
41 going to 61 partly cloudy

Have not heard from son. Sheriff deputies came around looking for welfare check for him.

May take the snow plow off the RTV today

Prayers for your sons Frits.

I can only say that the prayers for my son are working! We had to take him back in for another Xray on Sat morning. They never called us with any report yesterday. We called them today asking what is up? Meantime, the prayers are working. At first, he could only move his arms maybe 5% movement with great pain in spine. This evening, I would say that his movement range number is up to 50%!!! He can now lift his arms over his head a little, but absolutely no strength. So, I feel God is healing him. I've been busy doing HIS chores, but making him ride with me. He doesn't have the arm strength to drive our Gator, even with power steering. But he is close. We are sending him to school tomorrow, unless his PCP requests followup (clinic sent her the xrays and report). His backpack for school weighs about 30lbs. I'm sending him to school with a couple of pens and a spiral notebook. He's very embarrassed but his momma had to help him put pants on for church today. He's not requesting ibuprofen. I'm this point, I just might wait and watch God heal him. If he doesn't keep improving, I will get him an MRI, but at the rate he's improving, I will just wait and see. I can't thank y'all enough for the prayers. When I went to pick him up from school Friday, he was trying hard not to cry, with other students walking past, and I had to help in the truck. What a difference prayer and a couple of days make.

A coworker has had multiple back surgeries. He said absolutely don't let them do surgery on him if there's any possible way for him to heal naturally.

41 outside this AM, heading to lower 60's. Rain stopped yesterday and sun actually came out in time for the get together. It was fun seeing everyone and a good positive send off message for the daughter. I had a good laugh as one of my neighbors was discussing how he had a run in with an old grumpy man over riding his ATV's to another neighbor. Then I realized he was talking about me. LOL.

Need to make a dump run today. And then take the day as it comes.

Thinking of those ailing this AM. Stay positive. Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

Watch out for those old grumpy men....

Prayers for your sons. TBH, I don’t think I know how to handle the suicide talk. Our granddaughter is in therapy for such thinking, we are clueless.

Yes, I don't even know what to say. But I'm praying.

Have not heard from LS in New Mexico for a while, nor Paul from Illinois.

I used the Steiner beast to mow the yard, and then weed eated for an hour or more Saturday. Many other small tasks, but one I don't like. We have 3 girls with long hair, and I cleaned out lavatory P traps tonight. Need to do some horizontal mining in the barn, and get back on the riding mower tranny.

Prayers for our team.

Reads like very good news!
Be careful to not push him too hard. The back needs to heal on it's own terms.

A wrong twist can make it much worse. As far as surgery - I had back surgery for a "compressed disc" back about 2002.
But I tried to tough it out, I could manage most of the "tests" (reaching, standing on my toes) and X-rays didn't show much. But the doctor finally sent me in for an MRI.
After the MRI the technician ordered me to not drive or walk. And I went to surgery about 2 days later.
I got back to "semi-normal", one 50lb sack of feed thrown on either shoulder, instead of one on each. (Now I do good with one 40lb, but that's due to age).
So make sure your son is not "toughing" it out to be macho. There's a time to be macho and a time to heal correctly.
And an MRI is well worth it, especially if your insurance covers it.
/edit - I realize there can be a wide differential in cost for an X-Ray ($$$) versus an MRI ($$$$)

I like the smell of coffee brewing. 39° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 70° with some clouds. Got house chores done yesterday morning. Then helped neighbor get a 80s 4 wheeler running. It had been setting outside for years. Frist was clean mouse liter out of air intake. Little either and some fresh recreation gas it it was purring away. Got brakes on frozen. Changed oil. Test ride says it will be good transportation around the neighborhood. Trip to Menards to pick up some roofing supplies today. Then put time in enjoying some late winter warmth.
Got to get moving on a Monday morning.

Kyle, good son is getting better. Prayers that recovery continues.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.
