Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

Some disturbing news, this mornings post took me about 20 minutes to write. I suddenly have no to very little control over the right side of my body.
Went to pick up a cereal bowl that was on the floor for the cat to clean out and fell over. Had to call junior to help me get back up. I hate to say this but i think my truck driving days are over, and my days of driving anything may be over too.

I'd be taking an aspirin and heading to the Emergency Room IMMEDIATELY ...

Don't screw around with it.

Good morning! Low of 46°, only going up to 64°, heavy cloud cover, breezy. Good chance of getting a shower or t-storm. Hopefully.....

Didn't get out to the shop as wanted.... I like to open the doors when working, just too cool and windy over the past few days. Not going to ruin the "fun" aspect. No rush to get done these few little projects.

Wng... PUPPY! She is adorable! Have fun and enjoy bonding.

Done, good luck with the move. Glad it's not far!

Drew, hope you continue to feel better! Sorry you had to cancel your trip.

Buppies, hope you feel better. Hopefully you can get the wife to get some help. Any other family that she might listen to?

Thomas, hope you can make a decision easily.

David, hope you get some good news back from the tech. Hope you are still feeling better.

It's been another trying week. The BIL met with his oncologist. Not good news. More spots have metastasized. His chemo has been changed to a stronger medication. Unfortunately, the prognosis is less than a year with the chemo, 4-6 months without. Wifey is still acting as moderator....

On a lighter note, flowers are really starting to put out their flower buds. A few have bloomed already and are dropping flowers. Hummingbirds are fighting, birds trying build nests under the porch roofs, other birds still singing then fighting for mates. Spring in full force. We are a bit late this year, it's been much cooler.

Ended up getting a migraine yesterday, kept it at bay by resting / dozing in the darkened bedroom. Not going to chance it, taking another inside day today.... call it quality time with the wifey.

Dropped to 62° in the house, so fired up the pellet stove. I hope we don't need it too many more times.... 3/4 of a hopper is all the pellets that are left.....

Everyone have a great day!

Looking, you need to go NOW to the hospital. The time line to get treatment for a stroke is under 4 hours! Outside of that timeline and you could have permanent damage!
DO NOT TAKE ASPIRIN! ABSOLUTELY CONTRAINDICATED! THAT COULD KILL YOU!

DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES! GET TO THE ER!

L4N get checked for stroke immediately

 

[sodamo]

66°F and .59 inches rain

Sun a shining, giving me hope I can finish up this round of mowing

Eye seems good from procedure. Return in two weeks for prescription check. Tempted to see how much I can adjust to without glasses. Near vision maybe more a challenge than far. Actually typing this on iPhone without glasses

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

59 deg
mixed 4 gal of weed juice (2 x 2 gal), sprayed about 3 gal.
Garden too muddy to do anything, but do have a bunch of plants coming up, look like maybe the gourds that grew everywhere last year. Will probably not let them grow.

wife and son in town taking care of errands, I said bring me home some lunch but looks like it will be a blizzard from DQ.

clouded up, sun was out earlier. found hummingbird feeder in basement, need to get that juice mixed up. Saw one while at dad's the last trip there.

Very sorry to hear this! You better get to an ER!

L4N please get to ER quick, hope they can figure out the problem and help you. Prayers.

I have mixed feelings re lawn. Surely don’t do much lawn related other than cut. I do find cutting on tractor somewhat Zen like, but also can be expensive as I conjure projects.

To lawn, or not to lawn, that is the question.

We had 3 residences for awhile. We were going to sell the one in East Texas and keep the one near Corpus Christi but decided to sell it instead. I don't miss that place that much but I miss having a place near the Coastal Bend. I really like that area and the people there. I have always stayed away from having a pool to maintain.

A friend of mine bought a condo in downtown Austin with a nice pool and another has a condo in west Houston with no pool but a great view that I really like. Never thought I would even consider a condo but they have some advantages. One condo I've seen had a little astro turf lawn on the balcony. Too expensive for me.

Sometimes I feel like I wish I lived in a home with a postage stamp sized lawn....and a small tree in the middle for shade.

Thanks but no.

Reality for us is simplifying and downsizing. That included the vehicles when we went all in on the wifes truck.

I laugh out loud saying that with two properties, and multiple habitable buildings on them.

Those and also including my Dad's estate.

Simple it is not.....

But we keep thinking that is the strategy...simplify.

I'm all about simplify. I like that plan.

DC area...great for jobs...great for house values..great for BS.

shoulder deep and getting deeper.

I was hoping for better results.
Doctor gave me 3 options and to let him know before the end of the month...got some thinking to do.

Prayers Thomas.

We have a new chicken that showed up after the hail storm. She's fitting in well.

Expensive Chicken
In most places where peacock meat can be purchased, it will go for very high prices around 11-13 US Dollars per pound when sold in domestic meat markets.

Good Afternoon ,

my truck driving days are over, and my days of driving anything may be over too.

Bill, all the other guys have given you very good advice ! Go to the ER immediately! In addition to that, our thoughts and prayers for your quick recovery !!

Last night I finished reading a Higher Call ! It’s a WW 2 book about war pilots from the US and Germany ! I highly recommend this book for anyone who has any interest in the war ! My father served during the war but was in the Pacific Theater !

Hope all have a great day !

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.8C and it's presently 11.2C , predicted to reach 16C. It's overcast and calm. There was 4.9mm in the gauge @ 0700.

As per usual, I'm off to Church in a few minutes and then the rest of the day is His. Prayers for L4N.

That's about it, take care all.

Good evening all. 57ºF for the start, partly cloudy, light breeze. Light wind, sky clouded up, showers in area but no rain yet, and high temp was 79ºF. Made coffee, got ready for ride, 3 other guys riding. Rear brake cable broke on Peugeot, went home changed out flat tire on Volagi and rode it. 70 miles, ate lunch and napped. Showered, head for dinner, saw friend got invited to join then, while eating saw old choir directer got to visit with him too.
