Good morning!!!!

[Happy in NC]

Good morning TBN!!
65 this morning. Same temp as 3:30 AM! Upper 80s this afternoon. Could be a record. Slim cahnce of scattered sprinkles.
More tank work PWing. Had to replace the hose as the other split. Had to make sure I told the wife. "This is why I saved that thing that will come in handy someday" Felt pretty good
Spent a few tanks of gas doing that with more to be done.
I have to figure out why the water pump will only start with starting fluid. Even if it only sets for 10 minutes. Starts and runs fine as long as I give it a shot. Another project for another day.
Moving slow this morning procrastinating. Maybe take the day off.

Whatever the day holds it's time for a second cup and to find out
Everyone have a great and safe day!!

Good morning! 68˚F heading to the mid 70s, cloudy, 50% chance of needed rain and 80% tomorrow.

Looks like it will be bad Saturday weather for the big two events, the Mega neighborhood parking lot garage sale and the first weekend day of Easter egg hunts and strawberry picking at the "Farm". We have already been advised the work schedule might be changed if "farm" ticket sales succumb to the rain. Looking forward to a nice rain day and seeing the incomplete dry river bed flowing.

edit: one event has been canceled till next week, the neighborhood garage sale. Just got through trimming the front 50 hedges started raining on the last one, still have the back 50 to do.

Morning all, 55 going to 65 and rain.
Son got tagged out last night, so Senior assassins done for him.

Spoke to Uncle, he was more confused than normal, but he got more going when we started talking about travel.

More paperwork, day job.

New Apple and Peach tree look good. Waiting for transplants to leaf out, seem like they are budding ok. Have one more tree to transplant. Need to figure out where.

Started looking at a new truck, started with PHEV, but all of them seem to have software problems or be too small. Trying to get something big but with decent gas mileage.

Be well,

Zoom in to see all the little yellow flowers

Woke a couple times last night with a big BOOM. .6” rain in the 2 cells, and we were on southern edge of the storms. Wouldn’t be surprised if over 2” rain to our north, based on radar.
So I slept in till 10.

Take Tiger to vet today.

Later tonight celebrate 38 yrs of marriage.

Good morning! It's been moving forward albeit slowly.
Dona's bloodwork is SLOWLY coming back towards normal. One thing gets to normal range but then another goes wacky.... Doc says it's a normal progression.

She is scheduled for another thoracentesis next week.... number 10. Every two weeks --- last week they took out 1200ml of fluid. The amounts have been decreasing, so hopefully will continue trending down and won't have to get stuck too many more times.

She had her 5th chemo treatment on Wednesday, it went well (long day, about 7 hours). Then about 6 pm, got a call that her brother passed.

He went peacefully in his sleep, but that was his state for the last couple of weeks. He went downhill really fast. Almost a Godsend.

Needless to say, a lot of emotions across the board. Tough times.

Lots of the flowers popped and half the trees popped some tiny leaves..... so, of course, we are getting rain followed by up to 6 inches of snow tonight! A couple of days of freezing nights and highs only in the 40's, then up to near 60 by Sunday. Hope there isn't too much loss....

We ended up getting a new (to us) truck. Found a 2022 Ram 4x4 crew cab with only 19K miles. Loaded with everything we were looking for, and then some (almost too many bells and whistles). It was a corporate executive lease return from Las Vegas (hopefully no mob connections). Exceptionally clean, not a mark on it. Didn't want to chance the prices getting really wacky and getting priced out of the market.

Dona says: "nothing like driving the living room down the road"..... drives really smooth and is very comfortable.



Didn't get any extended warranty..... not for what the dealer wanted....$4300 !! I don't think so....
They gave me $20K for the Nissan Frontier. I was happy with that considering it was 5 years old and I bought it new for$28K. We got the Ram for $37K, negotiated down from $42K. I think we did ok....

I was really surprised.... Dona knew I had been looking, but SHE was the one that said to find a new truck..... I still have to look at it to confirm that it's real......

Happy anniversary to Mr and Mrs BEF!

I still need to catch up on here..... hope everything has been going good for everyone.

Sorry about your BIL and prayers for Dona, her getting back to normal.
