Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

wow Jim that's very troubling. I was told no connection of monitor to anything in me, just a small incision, they slide the gizmo in and that's it, unlike my port used for chemo infusion which had to be connected to major vein/artery? in neck. They said I would go to cardiologist monthly and they would pull the data from the unit.
I sure am going to call on Monday and get confirmation on that. Greatly appreciate hearing your experience.
I had an external monitor used on me in hospital which was basically two sided tape to my skin and at end of two weeks I mailed the gadget back to company and they
created a report to my cardiologist. Which btw said zero AFib. I was told this new device was just a longer term version of that implanted under my skin for up to a year.
If it is anything but that, unlikely I will proceed.

My heart study Apple watch has an app for A-fib and it can be sent to the cardiologist through your iPhone.

Can Apple Watch detect atrial fibrillation?
But detection of the disease could soon be as easy as a glance at your wrist. Heart rate data gathered by an Apple Watch can be used to detect atrial fibrillation (AFib), according to researchers who used an artificial intelligence-based algorithm to analyze information from the watch.

77F and sunny @ 12:00 with a predicted high of 84F and 0% chance of precipitation. No rain predicted for Sunday or Monday either, but the next 7 days after that each have a chance of rain ranging from 30% to 60%.

Blue Jays, Northern Flickers, and other woodpeckers feasting at the nugget feeder this morning while I had my coffee.

Sounds like I should be good to go on the straightened mower blade ... I'll check it over for cracks before I install it just to be on the safe side. Typically, I disengage the PTO if anyone has to approach while I'm on the mower. Thanks for the input ... :thumbsup:

First things on menu for today is finalize and place Menards order, then degrease MMM and hose it off, hose off live trap, and water west planting bed. Maybe water blueberry bushes as well ... if they need it.

After that probably finish sanding auger rack, install 4 x 4's on bottom and coat it all with BLO.

At some point finish grading around catch basin, get it seeded, and covered with straw ... and also squeeze in a little time for further responses to this thread ...

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ... :thumbsup:

There's quite a few on YouTube...some holiday related (Christmas especially) which I'll play on the TV.
Rain and snow sounds are very relaxing, especially in the evening or when going to bed. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Years ago we bought CDs of nature sounds combined with light music. Waterfalls, creeks, raining, ocean.

Good morning, a much cooler start to the day at 17C/63F, with a fine mist to wet my face as soon as I walked out of the door. Baler is coming late this afternoon, hopefully the sun will be out by midday to dry the hay out, it was looking promising yesterday.

Kyle, you must be one of the richest people in Texas, with a life that is filled with the things that money can't buy.

Wng, some will be impressed that you were willing to carry a truck battery that far - I was even more impressed that you had the correct size spanner (Edit oops, wrench) with you to make the change !

Yes Eric, some things you can't put a price on. BTW, I can't use counting sheep as a means to slumber since you've posted that photo of angry sheep....Looks like that field produced a tremendous amount of forage. Hoping it gets adequately dried before baling.

The offer still stands for your grandson to come over for a couple weeks of "finishing school" Texas style.

74 going to 88, probably more storms...got 2.2" yesterday...ground quite soggy...we've gone from famine to feast in a week.

Speaking of wildfires, lightning hit barely off our property up the road in yesterday's storm, 5 to 10 minutes before any rain arrived. I went to look for fire, but didn't see any and then it rained over 2 inches.

Things went great at the dentist...until I tried to start he truck...I noticed when we left home that the engine starting sounded weak. Fortunately, I was only a block from the auto parts store, so walked over and bought a replacement...not the battery I would have picked if I was out shopping, but it did the job. Carrying it a block back to the truck wore me out. I could tell I've lost some strength since the gym closed in March. Then I had to pick my wife up where I'd dropped her off at the grocery store, hoping her frozen items were still cold.

Forgot to post this snake pic yesterday from my hike at the park...I've nicknamed a number of places in the park where I often hike, but needed a nickname for this spot...now called Copper Hill. First copperhead I've seen in over 5 years.

When it rains, it pours...Seems like not long ago you were saying the creek was dry....glad you got your battery replaced without having to get a tow. hope Coco is getting better.

64 high close to 90 alot of storms around yesterday but mostly missed it is the weekend

Prayers for all

Yes, Buppsmaster is up waaay to early. I need a nap.

Buppies is up early.

Too much shoulder pain so I’m in the chair again. Need to do Some tractor work later today.

Hope you get some rest somehow. And get some treatment for that shoulder. I just talked to a guy, who said 3 guys quit (including him) where they worked, because some company bought them out and overworked them....much of it needless overhead work.

Prayers out for my peeps...and our country.

PS. Billy, that was a copperhead. We dispatch them here anytime we see them. They don't rattle before they bite, and they'll hide in garden, waiting for some poor soul to come and pick the green beans.

"Cha Ching II ???"

Hope so. Commission Checks .. from Radiator Genie .. have tapered off from not much .. to even less.

See if you can get a make and model number for it, Drew, then use google to search for an owner's or installation manual. Ideally both. Research the company, too, to find out how long they've been in business, if they've had any recalls, and how solvent they are.

You know, just like we do when we're trying to see how good one of Rick's new gizmos really is...:laughing:

 

[RedNeckGeek]

Good laundry plan

Indeed, Drew.

Maybe you could just leave it with her to do so you'll have an excuse to go back?:laughing:
