Relocation in Va is against state law, might want to check Tx law. Ed

Good morning all, 26 now headed to 33 with another 2 to 4 in of snow. We already have about 6 or 7 in from the 2 to 4 we were supposed to have last night. Guess I will find out how well the snow blower works in more than a dab of snow. Been snowing hard for the last hour. No plans except...

Evening all, Ice in the cars and other things, drive is clear. NWS is calling for between 4 to 8 in of snow tonight and Wed. Might get to check out the snow blower in a good snow yet. Everyone be careful out there, and don't over do. Prayers sent for all in need. Good night. Ed

They are calling us and talking to us about it several times a day or more. They have called 4 times today. I feel good about what they are doing. Ed

I will keep that in mind. Was hoping I could do a little at a time. Pulling the seat, seat belts, the console and door trim sounds like a lot of time and work. Will have to think about it and see if I am going to fool with it. Ed

Not for people on Medicaid. They stuck her in a room with a lady that has panic attacks. don't know what we can do about it. She would grumble about anyone she had to be around if the past is any indication. I think she thinks that her usefulness is over and that is hard for her. This...

Good morning all, 39 now and NWS is calling for a high today of 36. supposed to get 4 to 8 in of snow out of this. No plans for today, will see. You all have a great day. Ed

jbrumburg, thanks, you are likely right on all points but I think the big one for mom is she can't fix congestive heart failure. Randy, To lazy for that, will find something easier that I can do a little at a time when I have time. Ed

Good afternoon, Had a fun day today. Wife ordered a weight machine so she can work out from Walmart. They sent a text saying it was in and I went down to get it. They loaded it on the truck and when I got home I read on the box, for 3 to 10 year olds. That got me to looking and I found that...

I thought they just smell that way! Ed

Good morning all, 33 this morning going to 49 with rain likely. Fairly high to high chance of precip through Wed. Wife cut my hair Saturday. I was beginning to look like a hippy. Went to see Mom yesterday. Took the boy and we all went. Boy took one look at Grandma and HAD TO GO HOME NOW...

Good morning all, 37 going to 58 and sunny today. Got a couple little showers yesterday. Looking forward to a warm day. Nothing planned, but might get into a little leather work. Hope everyone is doing well. Prayers sent. Ed

Don't forget croppie. Ed

You guys talking about loosing weight has come at a time when I need to do the same thing. When I was sick I did not want to eat so I started eating anything that appealed to me. Still did not eat a lot but way more fat than I am used to and in a month I have put on about 10 lbs. Back on my...

Sounds like a lot of fun to me. Ed

That is not crappie, it's a silver perch. That is what we called them at home. Ed

Ron thanks for the video, cute. My grandfather back in the 50's was driving a Farmall A and when he got to the end of the field he started yelling WHOA. Ran out of the field and down into the creek. No real damage done except for his pride. :) Have a great day. Ed

Good morning all, 29 this morning going to 45 with a 90% chance of a wintery mix. Little or no accumulation expected. Not much going on here, just the routine. Drew if your garden does not do well it won't be from lack of effort. :thumbsup: Kyle Jr. Happy birthday, I can see why your...

We have just started getting health insurance spam since wife went to nasty Dr. wonder if there is a connection. He works for UVA. We are getting a lot of calls lately that we need to get from all over about mom and other things so we answer most calls. Kinda sleepy, think I will go take a...

Good morning all, 39 now going to 47 and sunny. Thanks for the prayers, wife is going to dr today, likely to Urgent Care. Lips are hurting again as the meds that she had was messing her up and she quit taking them. RNG, We had huse net and it was :thumbdown:. We swapped to Excede and it...

Thanks for the kind words guys. I am ok with it now, just glad he is not going to be our Dr. Checked a country Dr today and he is not taking new patients so the search goes on. Stopped in at Agusta Medical today. There are two ladys that are working hard to get mom's medicare to go through...

Good morning all, 27 this morning going to 54 and we have a wind advisory. Sorry about the rant, and thanks for your care. Lot going on. Hope to check out another Dr and do a costco run. Need a few things so id should not be to bad. Sharpened the hatchet that I made into a carving hatchet...

Happy Birthday Drew!!!!!! Ed

Good afternoon, Wife finely went to the new Dr. We made the appointment last year and this was as soon as they could work in a new patient. She got there and instead of doing his job he started slamming Trump. Told my wife to vote for Burney and things would get better. Then told her she...

Good morning all, 24 now going to 40 and partly sunny. Friends stopped in last night for a visit. They played some music for the boy that we enjoyed too. Found out that his brother, who we knew was having heart problems, is doing great. Dr came in the room and said you are to old to operate...

Good evening all. Wife stopped in to see mom and she could hardly talk. Took a drink and talked better. Some friends stopped in after supper and she was talking good so I think we will have a talk with the nurse about fluid intake. She is having a hard time with CHF so it is a balancing act...

Good morning all, 30 this morning going to 40 becoming more cloudy. Thanks for the prayers guys, talked to mom and had a hard time understanding her. She would just start in the middle of a thought and expect you to know what she was talking about. Dr did not do anything yesterday so...

Good evening guys. Mom is back on oxygen this afternoon and feels better with it. She was panting pretty hard with out it. Hope she is able to make it to the Dr tomorrow. They are now calling for less than 3.5 in here. Have a safe trip Drew. Have not even thought about changing the clocks...

Good morning all, 31 this morning going to 45 with a winter storm warning starting tonight until 2:00 pm tomorrow. NWS says we could get up to 6.5 in. Sounds like we might get the first real snow of the season. Just hope to take it easy today. We (wife) keep the heat dancing all day, up and...

I have a Mantis tiller but only used it a few times. Now have a tiller attachment for my weed eater so I don't know if I ever will. Ed

Prayers sent for your knee and your sitting around stress. Ed

Bird, glad you are doing well after your back flip. Ed

That is a new one for me as well. Ed

I used to hunt turkeys and the more you are around them the more you are impressed. If they want they can just jump into the air and fly away and without the snow run like a deer but they will run so that they are behind a tree or something and then go straight away from you. and the rather...

Good morning all, 28 going to 47 with a 30% chance of snow this morning then sunny. Rain snow this weekend. Wife got prednisone and an antibiotic for her lips. Dr said it was likely a bac infection. Mom was a little better yesterday too. Thanks so much for the prayers. Enjoy the new wheels...

Yea, the daughter kept putting powder up her nose and I left quick Ed

Wife just went to the dr, her tummy is upset and her lips are burning and have a purpleish tint to them. Says she cant stand it anymore and headed for Urgent Care. Years ago I had an old guy that offered me the deal of a life time, NOT. If I married his daughter or 11 year old grand...

Thanks for the prayers. Ed

Good morning all, 26 this morning going to 43 and sunny with some wind. Hope to see mom again today and work on the hatchet a bit. Other than that plan to take it easy. Computer is jumping around this morning, just went to wife's photo files and I was not even touching it.????? Don, Thanks...

Went to see mom again today, she is still panting, trying to get enough air. She has a Dr app Mon hope that helps but it will be a slow help. Counted about 40 deer in the field behind our house including the piebald. Have a great night. Ed

Good morning all, 28 here now going to 42 with scattered flurries. Got a couple light sprinkles and a quick flurry out of the last system. Calling for more Sat night through Sun night, hope we get more then. I have seen 2 aftermarket window tints that were good but both were pro done and I...

Ran some errands today and went to see mom for the first time. She was still so short of breath, pitiful. The nurse was supposed to check on her but I have not heard anything. One of us will check tomorrow. I came home and worked on the hatchet I bought about 1 1/2 mounts ago. A carpenters...

Good morning all, 34 this morning going to 45 and a 50% chance of rain/snow. So far we have had a sprinkle. Boy has a new Dr coming today, old one was a dud. Hope this one is much better. Roy, Thanks for the tip, never had a snow blower before so I likely have a lot of things to learn...

I liked the heated seat in the Legacy we had. Wife is always to hot and I am to cold so I just turn on my heated seat in winter and we were both happy. Ed

Wonder what will happen if hard times come, real hard times. I took over the family farm when I was 10 when my dad got very sick from a drug that the dr's gave him. He never really was able to work again. At 10 we had 64 cows, two bulls and the calves. At 12 we had 102 cows, bulls and...

Run several electric fence wires around the chickens pen. They won't come back for more. Ed

Frozen, Yes you are 100% correct, but have you tried Hanover brand blue lake green beans? They are the ONLY ones we buy and they are good.

Good morning all, 33 going to 40 with a 60% chance of a wintery mix. Drew, the old people in central Va used to cook butter beans/lima beans, the big ones were limas, with a big glob of bacon grease, a good amount of sugar and then cook them slow all day. They were very good. Someone said...

Good morning all, 28 here now going to 49 and sunny. 50% chance of nasty Tuesday through Wednesday. Discovered Mucinex DM 12 hour and it is working, feel better and slept the best since the 13 of Feb. Hope it helps some of you if you need it. Don't know what I will do today but i feel like...

Good morning all, 27 this morning going to 51 and sunny. Wow, took a while to catch up this morning. Need to run to the drug store for some pills and some vit. C fizzy drinks. Other than that take it as easy as I can. Buckeye, We loved our 2013 legacy but the way it dumped oil it had to...

No don't have an Instant Pot either, wife said NO so that is fine with me. She does the cooking. Drew, no holler, we live on a hill but have tall trees to the north, north west and south and south west so we are sheltered from the wind. Ed
