28°F and cloudy this morning, getting up to 38° today.

I started feeling better a few days ago, but the Wife's progress has been a bit slower. She's still fighting the coughing.

Three day weekend is over now. Back to work tomorrow, and "the long drought" before the next holiday, which is Memorial Day at the end of May.

Happy New Year, gents.

I'm still coughing after 3 weeks. Energy level maybe up to 80% Hope y'all get better.

You are right about the holiday drought period from Jan 1 to Memorial day for blue collar workers. Now that I'm in Academia, we get MLK day (instead of President's Day), and we get 1 day off during Spring Break. We just got the week off between Dec 25 and Jan 1.

You don't have to answer, but have any wanted to search out their birth parents? It is none of my business. I can't imagine the life changes You and your wife had to go thru to raise 9 children. I have a buddy who was the oldest of 9 kids (not adopted). His dad had a valve on the hot water heater, that if any kid took too long in the shower, he would cut it off. Also similar action for the 1 landline phone they had. The long cord connection was in the hall. He would unplug it if daughter was on phone too long in her bedroom. The things you have to do to manage 9 kids is so different than what I'm used to.

Kyle, everybody seems to be having that lingering cough. Thought I was the only one.

Mine won’t go away either.

Finally made the crab dip. Never made it before, $30 container of crab meat in it. Pretty good.

And the pellet stove did light with the torch. Sometimes you gotta use the big hammer. Think electric igniter might need replaced again.

Good evening all. Light wind and tailed of later in day, mostly clear sky, and high temp was 44ºF. Bike ride went well, forgot to mention kitchen clean up, nap, and dinner at stepdaughter's house. Got plenty leftovers, they are leaving a day earlier and she is cleaning out fridge, my gain . Watched some football through the day.

Wife & I sick with whatever it is for a month today! Both went to hospital, checked everything, RSV, Covid, flu, pneumonia, etc. all negative, sent us home. Wife got worse so hospital put dye in vein & MRI showed she had pneumonia. Sent her home with antibiotics which fouled up her blood sugar (type 2 diabetic 23 years). No more Levaquin antibiotics and she's much better (70%?)...I'm about 90%.
I need my cook back!
