Good morning!!!!

I haven’t said much about latest skin cancer removal. It became infected had to go back and get three dissolvable stitches removed and now on high powered antibiotics the bathroom is new friend. Eating yogurt to replace good bacteria. Odd that it took a month for this to show up

My cousin, (In Germany) the ring bearing at the wedding on our farm who had the motorcycle accident had continued infections at his surgical site, it turned out to be that he was allergic to the dissolvable stitches - he had to go back to the hospital 3 times over three months before they figured it out. They also loaded him up with antibiotics. he finally got out of PT about a week before I did and is doing OK now.

If you are on a PC, there is a banner above the posting area. It kind of blended in for me this AM, almost missed it.

A couple years before I retired, an older fellow worker retired, then came back as a contractor, doing essentially the same job. That seemed unusual, so I asked him about the new deal. He was working maybe a day or two less a week, so his weekends were longer, but he liked what he was doing and the new arrangement let him taper off a bit. But he said the real difference for him was less overhead, in that he no longer had to attend safety meetings, training classes, and other BS time wasters that seemed to occupy more and more of our time as the years marched on. I asked one day how he knew it was time to retire, and he just said "you'll know after you have three bad days in a row". And when a project I was working on neared the end, and the new assignment wasn't something I was interested in, and changes were announced decreasing benefits in the retirement plan, and another salary freeze loomed, it was my time. So if you're still working, things will eventually come to pass that will let you know when it's your time, too.

...

This is the third bad day, and another message just came my way asking "what to do".

Yeah, shaping up for one of those days.....

Hey, the sun is UP!

That's tempting, Don. But Kyle already spilled the beans about scorpions, I'd need a dog like Whipper to save me from the snakes, and I'd most certainly melt in the summer humidity. I like the idea about being able to wear a red hat without being insulted (or assaulted) though. And this time around, I'm hoping to find a barn that is already raised. I feel like I'm running out of time to do a DIY version.

And Virginia doesn't have alligators, anyway.

There's a new thread:

Should the community make the rules?

Do you think we should allow the TBN members make the rules by way of proposing and voting on rules? Over the years we've tried our best to make rules in the best interest of the community. Doing anything else would be counter-productive. But, maybe it's time for a new way of deciding the...

Since some folks got upset about posts being pulled, TBN ownership decided to take a poll...check out the link, post your response and vote, if you like
I hope some of the older members (by old, I mean having been on TBN for >10 years) chime in

There is also a Thread preceding the "vote" thread, where Muhammad gets involved when a long time member calls it quits like Ron did. However we do not know the exact reason Ron left, he did not state a reason, and we should not assume it was because of his opinion of the new rule just because he left after Mostly's post got pulled.

This is my last post on TBN

This will be my last post on TBN. I post this so my friends here will know where I have gone, and that I am not dead. Not yet anyway. :) I just cannot in good conscience live with the level of heavy handed and one sided moderation and the last straw was the rules change by Muhammad that Covid...

The thread that probably was the cause of the new rule was this thread where Eddie Walker relates his experience with his second bout with covid. very informative even the part where one nurse caught it 4 times.

Maybe the tide is turning?

Remember, I said maybe... I live just a bit north and west of New York's Capital Region. This morning, driving along one state highway, I passed three dealers of compact tractors. I saw a few Yanmars at the smallest of the dealerships; there was a pretty good selection of LS on one lot that's a...

36°F and partly cloudy this morning, going up to 58° today. The rain is supposed to arrive in the mid-to-late-afternoon, and the temps will drop below freezing sometime after midnight. We may or may not get a bunch of ice before it transitions to snow. No one really knows yet. Snow is still predicted to be around 6-12", with some areas getting as much as 18". Again, they just don't know how fast it will move through the area. Weather guessers.

Thanks for that link, Roy. I put in my two cents worth of opinion as well.
