Good morning!!!!

[jbrumberg]

Drew- Beware of the (Prednisone/steroid driven) activated improvements. I am happy to read everything worked. Steroids, a potential sword of Damocles. They saved me; it reads like they work for you. Be careful. I am happy to read that the episode-pen worked as needed.

A 2 ticks on me, 4 ticks on Brogen, and a no bear day here today.

................. We're driving a relatively new white Forester with MA plates.

One of those days when you have nothing to do but it found me. Walked into kitchen to get a coffee. Got wet feet. Roof was leaking. Dripping from the beam that separate dinning room from kitchen. Went up in attic to find where leak was. Then climbed up on roof to see why there was a leak. Found bunch of shingles that had deep horizontal cracks in them. Junk shingles. Just over 20 years old. Got a can of wet and dry tar and sealed all the cracks I could. Then called roofing company. New roof going to be installed in a few days when it stops raining. 50 year shingles and installation warranty from top company in metro Detroit. $$$$$$

Jay, stop by on your way down, I'll have taters for you!

got a lot done today then misery.
Decided to get really energetic and clean up the potato field, walked behind Husqy awd trimming mower up and down sides of tater rows, knocking down weeds.
Steroids put on weight so trying to get enough exercise. Emboldened, I then mowed most of the collards patch. By then I was red in the face and all walked out, done for the day, coming in to wait on friends. Didn't quite make it. Last thing to trim around was the end pole of clothes line. Turns out big nest of ground bees...
This I did not need at all after last week. Stung twice on left ankle and once on right elbow. Figured this was the big one, came in immediately, showered, ate a benadryl tablet and for first time ever jabbed my leg with epi pen.

What a wonderful mix of chemicals...rolling waves of gastric distress, tight lungs, but slowly improving. Left foot sore and blotchy but seems ok.
going to be a lot of itching tonight.

The show had to go on, got off bed with elevated leg on ice, went out with friends and grandkids to dig potatoes, all the boy wanted to do was catch bugs, couldn't
care less about potatoes. Well it was a five bug day, he was delighted. Now good to get off my feet.

So by time I was done everything was trimmed and neat and ready for harvest. I'm a little worse for the wear but
still here. When I'm not, I'm sure your bandwidth will improve!

Drew get some rest. Glad epi pen is working.

Good evening. Been a rainy, thunderstorm, cool June day. May have gotten to 60.

Joined the walking wounded of the Good Morning thread. Got a hickory thorn in my right ring finger knuckle Sunday while string trimming the bank. Went through my glove and wedged into the knuckle. Pulled it out, kept working. It was sore later that day into Monday, Tuesday seemed ok. Woke up yesterday morning about 3 AM with a lot of pain and a lot of swelling clear into my wrist. The knuckle was about 3 times normal size and bright red. Drove myself to the emergency room since my doctor is on vacation. Seems I have a raging infection in my finger. So 500 mg of Keflex 4 times a day for 10 days. Actually much better today.

Kyle....went to the local short track Saturday. Had a number of proç—´ there warming up for Laconia. JV20 put on a show. Won all 3 classes he was in. Action shot of him in action Saturday



That boy can ride a bike!

The young man I am helping won one of his races too. He also named me crew chief of the race team. He has decided that someone needs to be in charge and neither his dad or he seem to be able to be in charge. He likes the way I handle things, so I am now crew chief. Kinda liked the compliment. I tried harder Saturday.

Everyone have a safe and good evening

Sounds like a lifetime warranty

Glad your meds did the trick, Drew

OUCH, Rich
Seems we have to be more mindful of infections these days. Watch and taken could care of it.
I got one from spider bite. PC gave me antibiotics. Was at Dentist office 3 days later and Dentist suggested my next stop be ER. I did. And grateful.

Yeah, that is what they are going to use on my boathouse. Too bad 50 year shingles weren’t around when we built our cottage back in 2002. As it is, I’m going to have to get new shingles pretty soon. Will use 50 year shingles there as well.

Woo Hoo! The streets of Toronto are just insane right now! And Drake has a stage setup to celebrate the Raptors win, right down in the heart of downtown. Never seen anything like it. They will be celebrating this historical victory until dawn no doubt.
