Sorry I've been away for so long. Time really slipped by. Buppies, thank you for reaching out.
I've got a lot of catching up to do, but glad to see Jay is posting again, and has a new dog.
My wife had her shoulder surgery last week and I've been taking care of her and handling her chores as well as mine. She's doing great, and finally felt up for a trip out to Costco, Torchy's and to visit her mom...me driving, of course. She should get the green light to drive at her follow up doctor's appointment Wednesday.
Before the surgery, I crammed in as much hiking and spring gobbler hunting as I could. I'll post some hiking pictures...the mountains are fabulous this time of year.
Glad your wifey's shoulder surgery is done. Hoping for a full recovery. It is painful I'm told.
Happy Belated Birthday Ted! Hope the daughter's repairs go smoothly.
Morning all, say going up to 53, currently 54 and getting ready to rain.
Day off work to relax, will go pick up lunch later.
Did get some wood split and the gazebo cleaned out.
KJC - congrats on the new ride
Son made National English honor roll, some kind of induction next week for us to attend.
To lazy to do much today.
I let my lawn go somewhat natural, no chemicals, fertilizers etc. Just Mow and go.
Dog approved
Congrats on your son's achievements, and his spotify songs.
Kyle, how are you and your family getting along?
We are blessed. Thank you for asking. I am finding my body can't keep up with what my mind wants to do. This past week I've been on my feet a lot at work. Feet, all the way up to lower back are hurting. I told the wife, that if we had gone somewhere like a zoo, I would have had to stay in the car. I'm wondering if the Losartan I'm taking for BP is hurting my mobility? Seems to have come around since I've started taking it....
Feet feel better now, after a night's rest.
I keep finding myself about 3 days behind on reading. I'll read a days worth, but stay 3 days behind. It is mostly a "time" thing. I got caught up this morning.
Lots going on with you fine folks. New excavators, new RC planes, refurbishing table saws, great pictures. We have it all right here on the Good Morning Thread.
I am going to pick up a few things I won in a local estate auction. Hopefully a nice Kenmore elite upright vacuum, a "Made in USA" come along, and an old 12hp Sea King outboard motor....like I need another project like a hole in my head. I might give it to my new South African friend who has a "tinny" boat w/o a motor.
Prayers for Buppies, our team, our country, and for peace in Ukraine. Wondering how Finland joining NATO is going to work out long term. History there. I'm hoping we can support Ukraine enough to bankrupt Russia's military and kick them out. I believe there is bad vibes brewing internally. Just shows how bad things can get when 1 person rules a country.
but outside chores done E muffin time. 
the other morning and there was this "gobble, gobble, gobble, and BOOM the next field over. It has been a great year for turkeys around here. There is one resident flock of +40 birds.
