Trying to stay cool is the biggie. I pan to work on the crochet bags my girl friend and I are making to sell on Etsie. She does the crochet and I do the linings and finishing.

Time for a break from mowing and this humidity. Only a few drops of rain so far but the dewpoint is killer. Grass is so lush and green it wants to clog the bagger chute. Ended up cutting the real thick areas as high as it would go and then doing it again at the normal height! Came in and fired up the a/c and closed the windows.

went to an appt.
i got a few areas biopsied. i luv when a doctor says u shouldn't notice pain, only slight pressure.
um, yeah. not a thing. i only say, 'that wasn't enough lidocaine!' very loudly for kicks & glance to see them furiously cleaning & applying pressure to the area w/ gauze sponges. yet she says, 'that's only pressure.'
noooo.....
she biopsied 'bout this __ much tissue from the 1 place. i saw her put it into the container.
so 'couse, she puts x-tra lidocaine in, & voila! the other 1, 'nothin.
now to the 'iggle.
later, guys~

Went to see the Amish today to find out when they could cut my wood. He told me to come pick them up at 9:30 but when I got there it was only him. The boys were all working out so I ended up doing more than I should but we got half a log truck load cut and split. I dumped it in under the roof of the woodshed with the skid steer. I hurt pretty bad but that will refill me to where I started at a few weeks ago at least. I will get it stacked over the weekend even if it hurts. We have a long way to go to cut it all.

Didn't do much of anything today really.
Am looking forward to the long weekend off.
My job has been mighty stressful lately, as has some other stuff which I won't mention.
I cooked dinner, cleaned, took a nap, and screamed at the dog a little while ago for running around barking over something.. which I think must be a cat (possum or coon) under my abode throwing her into fits.
All floor vents are closed, furnace is off.. space heater is on.
I'll deal with it tomorrow.

I was part of the work party that took all the docks out of the river at my boat club. One member works for a large equipment company and he was able to borrow a big back hoe that we used to hoist the docks off the trailer and place them exactly where we wanted to store them. Made things go quicker for sure. River was up a little and we had a strong current but we were able to get the job done by noon (we started at 8). Not bad. Another boating season done gone.

Damn cold to play in the water today Doc. Till I drained all my waterers and hydrants in the barn my hands were getting numb from the ice water. Do you just stack the docks out of flood depth till next year?

I rode my bike 20 miles today with a group of about 10 people. Tad bit on the chili side but did get 20 miles in. Now work around the house or cabin.

It was a little cold at first but while working it seemed to get warm quick. Wasn't long till many of us were shedding a layer or two. It got up to 40, which wasn't bad. A couple of us about took a dip in the water when a long chain of 7 (16ft) docks hit a stationary pole and the two of us on those docks about lost our balance. Semi close call.

We store the docks up in the yard (where the sheds are that we store all the boats in), some are stacked and ones that need barrels replaced are put single layer in another area so that we can work on them during the off season. Our yard is well above flood stage, thank goodness.

I am feeling lucky!

Man, gas stations that are open in NJ are unreal!! Lines are so long and prices have gone up BIG time!!

I just got back from PA. Took me 1 hour to get there from pull up to filled up 10 minutes! $3.61 a gallon for regular. Amazing. So round trip 2 hr 10 minute. I would still be waiting on line to get 10 gallons (odd/even system here) for maybe a dollar more a gallon.

Hope the stations all get power this weekend. Having to drive 120 miles round trip to fill up when you might get 350 per tank full is not such a good deal, even if gas was cheaper. At least you had enough gas to drive that far to get more. And yep, I would have done the same thing in your situation. Waiting in lines like that is the worst. We had to do that after that freak storm went through here last summer.

First thing I picked up leaves, took a break, picked up more leaves, still some to pick up tomorrow, but the smell of a martini got to me.

This is only the first run. About half off the trees.

Andy suggested getting some yellow gas cans to get diesel fuel for my furnace. BUT all the place that have power and are open don't have any of those cans and they won't let you put it in anything else. SO if I can't find cans and the fuel company can't deliver I will have to heat the house with the oven and clothes dryer and be a nervous wreck waiting for this next storm thats supposed to hit on tuesday or wednesday. If we get the snow and freezing weather the water pipes will break and this area can't deal with any more water problems on the ground or a water outage.

Hub worked all night then had to change a flat tire on his car before he went to gas staion this morning. That car didn't have enough gas to make it to PA. He waited 2 1/2 hours before they announced they were only going to take cash now. He had to come home and thankfully I had some cash left. He waited another 3 hours for gas and now he is at a Pep Boys getting the tire patched. He refuses to get a cell phone or else I could have brought him the money and saved him the second 3 1/2 hour wait.

Thank you so much. I lost cell signal again so I have no phones at the moment which is even more upsetting.
And I saw where you broke a tooth as well.
It's not like you've got enough to contend with already.. things just keep a' rolling in once the shit hits the fan it seems.
My thoughts and prayers are with you darling.

You haven't lost your sense of humour.

Love you girl.
Keep your chin up, and.. keep that cat in line! LOL

I've been commandeered to drive around all day looking for appliances and plumbing fixtures for the house we are building. I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a stick...

SIL got some virus on her computer that won't even let the MS site connect in safe mode. Told her she can kiss everything goodbye and I will take my OEM disk over and reload it since she has never found hers since moving 5 years ago. Frustrating 2 hours.
