What are you doing today, II

Kobe had his 1st birthday yesterday. We had a party. Gathering was small, mostly vaccinated people. In fact the only 2 unvaccinated people there were Kobe and my daughter Melen. But we also managed to get an appointment for Melen to get vaccinated so that actually is a double reason to celebrate.

Picked up the new to us snowmobile today. Did a bunch of other things in the city. Swore and cursed our crappy internet when none of the kids could log on to their virtual classes. Not much else.
 
Went for a motorcycle ride with nowhere to go and nothing to do, so it was a great ride. Visited the bison sanctuary, then meandered around mostly 2 lane country roads. The ride was about 100 miles total and I got home just in time for dinner.

Starting a 20 trailer load delivery of corn this morning.
It is the first corn I have sold for over $5.00 in at least 6 years.
Good to be into the "green" for a change.
High winds yesterday and today. Like 40 mph sustained and gusts to 50.
On my walk outdoors yesterday it was interesting. Milo my dog, even thought so lol..

Regards, Kirk
 
Homeschooling the kids. I think a bad case of the runs would be more enjoyable and productive. We had a storm go through last night that dropped a few inches of snow but, like the liberal party, it was a lot of talk leading up to it but not much action. More wind than anything.
 
Went for an afternoon ride through a couple small towns in Illinois, crossed over the Kankakee River a couple times, wound though two preserves and made my way back home.

Had a nice day with my man.
PG is a happy camper.?
Speaking of camping.. a trip is being planned when the weather cooperates.
He asked me if I've ever been camping.
I said have I ever been camping???!!
Lol
He's going to bring the girl scout out in me.

If the trailer (or tent) is rockin', don't come knockin' ?
 
We went out ice fishing again on a different lake. I couldn't believe how many ice shacks were out there. There's a 10km ice road on the lake so we were able to drive right out. As we were ice fishing, there was a steady stream of vehicles hauling ice shacks off the ice. There's still roughly 3ft of ice on the lakes but not much snow left after the warm weather the past week.

No. It's not on that level ....yet.
We have fun.
Lots of talking, yes we've kissed (a lot).
He even spent the night here once on the couch , because I insisted he did.
It's very respectful and refreshing on both sides.
I'm new to all this again!
I joked with a friend that after all this time I'm positively near being a virgin again. ?
That's what it's like.

Today I went to a zoom meeting at work.
It was most of our nursing staff touching base with others in other Northern counties.
Cripes it took half an hour just getting the whole thing organized. ?
 
Nothing exciting. I hauled a shelving unit I had built a few months ago out to the garage to rebuild it as the original carpenter screwed up on the measurements and one side was almost an inch taller.

The carpenter is here with a helper working on the bathroom tiles. He was having a hard time cutting the wall tiles yesterday so he rented a wet saw for today. It seems to be doing a better job.
 
Deciding how to spend St. Paddy's.
To stay home or to go to the pub this evening.
I'll probably stay home (and dry).
 
Hauled the snowmobiles to town to wash them before they get put to bed for the summer. Then I tackled slicing a 10lb chub of pepperoni and vacuum sealed them in individual packaging. After that I tackled dividing up a 10lb chub of ground beef into 2lb pkgs and vacuum sealed them.

Did you catch anything, or did you just sit out there and drink beer?

That sums up my one and only experience of ice fishing in Wyoming. I can't even remember if we drilled a hole. I did however end up with one of the worst hangovers that I've ever had. In fact that led to my "I will drink but I'll never get blind drunk again" philosophy that I've maintained for over 30 years.
 
With the extremely mild spring we've had, the snow has really taken a beating. So today, I head to camp to see how much is left there and whether or not I can open up.

I've never been ice fishing. I've done a lot of night fishing off of a pier in Rockport with family. Beer was involved, but it didn't get too wild because my mother was with us...kind of a little family vacation.

I delete (via Spam Clean) probably 8-10 a day before they get to log in. There are some that slip through Doc’s security and the Spam Clean process. It’s getting harder to keep up!
 
So the lovely missus and I had been talking about a hot tub for a while. This week, we decided we would hold off for a year. Fast forward to yesterday, I decided to go browse kijiji to kill time. What's the first and most recent ad that came up? A year old 7x7 sundance hot tub. We went to look at it this morning and made a deal. It lists for roughly 15k new. We got it for half that.

Today was a day for healing. Both for baby Kobe and for little dog Walter. Happy to report that both are doing better.

The baby is covered with spots bit they don't seem to actually bother him. He's eating little bits but drinking a bottle so that is giving him his nutrition. He is still a bit clingy, not quite full energy, but he's doing much better. Fever is gone. Fortunately Roseola, which is what the doctors suspect he has, is common and not a serious issue. It just takes a bit of time to pass and looks like it is following its normal path.

Walter the female terrier is on the mend. She is walking pretty much normally. She is jumping up on the furniture, and down. But we have pillows on the floor to soften her landing when we can't stop her from jumping down. We have managed to keep her off the stairs with baby gates and running outside has not been an issue. Mostly I carry her around when we change rooms/floors. But once she is on a flat level, she is allowed to walk around on her own. Honestly we were concerned that she'd lose the use of 1, and possibly 3 of her legs. Spine injuries are always risky.
 
Good news about your dog and baby. Hopefully they both make a quick and full recovery.

Nothing exciting today. I may head out to the garage to get a start at putting the snowmobiles away for the summer. I just have to move them in behind the shop and cover them. Then in a few weeks, haul the boat out from under the overhang on the garage and move them to where the boat was sitting.
 
Dog & babysitting today.

The lovely Mrs_Bob is at the grocery store getting milk, probably hit the Tractor Supply for some dog food. She may make a few other stops. She's feeling a little cooped up so I thought it best to let her go out and stretch her legs.

Kobe was supposed to have a visitation with his grandmother today, we explained that he is just getting over some viral infection (probably roseola) and the doctor suggested he not be exposed to much. But we did not cancel the visitation. We left it to Grandma to decide, she decided it best to cancel and wait until next week.

No other plans for today.
 
9pm catch up.
Well let's see.
Things are groovy with my man.
Won't go into detail there because it's my business lol
PG don't play that game no more.
I've been happy, that's what counts right?
I've read good books, been avoiding work shortage calls because this nurse is on the bridge to retirement. Yay!
The kids are happy, I'm happy.
I guess there isn't a whole lot more to say.
