Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

My Dr appointment went ok, new DR again, but this one has been at the practice 25 yrs and said he wasn’t going anywhere. I liked him.

Not much to do at work today. Got hands slapped for overachieving last month and billing too much to a project. To celebrate I left work early, figured I could finish doing nothing at home.

Meeting with financial guy tomorrow. Hopefully he will show me something this time. First meeting just a chat.

.5” of rain today sometime, maybe in the night.

I received an offer (in the mail) to buy my house...about $25K less then I paid for it and $110000 less than the appraised value. Of course, I trashed it since I'm pretty sure it was just a scam...

I got a text the other day, “hi, I’m so and so and I’d like to talk to you about your address….,”

I texted back, “who is this?”

They responded “ so and so with Maryland home buyers. “

I said “I need a last name so I can report you for violating the do not call list”

Never got another response.

Others I’ve responded with a $6M price. Never hear back from them either.

Would you take $5.5 cash?

Did absolutely nothing today ..... I called it "my take care of honey" day instead of "honey-do day".

Basically because of the continued wind.... nothing as strong as yesterday, just 40-45 mph, but still not pleasant. Only a few dirt devils crossed over the property. Of course, they stir up the dirt / dust, but only for a brief time.

To answer Don's question, the number of dust storms can vary year to year and even season to season. Last year, during the spring and summer, we had 4 Different dust storms. One of which lasted for 2 days. A couple during this past winter, but they weren't too bad.

The wind (which sometimes seems to never end) and the associated dirt is the only really big reason why I want to move. It has been progressively worsening over the years.
Essentially starting with the 18 year drought we have been experiencing. When we first moved here, it rained almost daily during the spring and again during the late summer monsoon season. Everything was green, barely any dirt.
2 years ago, I thought the drought finally ended, the frequent showers greened everything back up, I even had to cut the fields twice! It was short lived for only 2 months.

They just put a large swath of the state back into "extreme" drought, just below "exceptional"..... which we were in last year. I cannot imagine what the people during the dust bowl suffered......

Toppop, prayers sent your way! Hope they take care of it expeditiously!

Buppies..you hang in there too! Additional prayers sent out.

Kyle, thanks... yes it was a very good show. Never knew too much about his son William.... or the rest of his more private life in such detail. Still a true patriot.

Time to do some more relaxing.... this could become addictive

LS thank you and Toppop stitches come out tomorrow

Wind stayed moderate all day, sky remained clear and high temp was 70ºF, DP 25ºF. Men's Meeting to start day, putter till head to town for lunch and grocery shopping.

Ended up with .86” of rain yesterday. It’s started raining again, radar shows a bunch coming.

Up at 2 something to pee and still awake.

As Jed Clampet said, as long as it’s them new kind of dollars, think they are called millions.

Prayers for toppop and buppies and your surgeries.
