“I seen my opportunities and I took em.”
-George Washington Plunkett

I was bringing my coffee and my computer laptop bag out to my truck today to go to work.

Then it started pissing down raining. Really coming down. I was soaked. I ran 10 feet to the truck but was pretty wet. Once inside the truck, it stopped raining. 😂

But somehow, it did not rain the rest of the day and even though there were pop-up showers left right and center on my way coming home, I got to mow two of our three lawns.

Made for a late day. I think I’m gonna hit it.

It didn’t rain most of the day
 
The few practitioners I'm familiar with in my area who don't take insurance? Their visits end up costing several thousands of dollars. Yes, they treat the more complex cases that take more time and resources. But also - having complex or chronic illness is expensive and most people I know are unable to afford $2k - $5k for every doctor's visit (that's including at least some labs).
I see two specialists who don’t take insurance, one costs about $650 per year and the other $450-750 per year.
It could cost more but I have other specialists that will help too and they take insurance. In my state , insurance must pay part of the cost if you are a rare patient and there are no doctors within the insurance system, which there aren’t.
My parents have a concierge doctor that costs $3k per year. That’s all visits each year and he will do house calls.

A world-famous chef once told me, on the subject of wine in cooking, "if you wouldn't drink it, don't cook with it"
If I'm making risotto or a scampi, I'll use the good stuff. If I'm making something in the crock pot and just want to break down tough fibers, I'll use wine I won't drink. Often, I'll finish such a dish with something good.
 
I go to a very small practice which DOES NOT participate with insurance. I pay a VERY small monthly premium, and have practically unlimited access to the Dr. The office is small, so overhead is practically zero. A phlebotomist visits once a week for draws. I like this much better than the hospitals who don't know or care who I am.
This is a nice way to healthcare. Also, no insurance company trying to tell the dr how to practice medicine. 🙄😤
 
Been a busy long bank holiday weekend with family here so no Bar time. Today I have another day teaching children with learning difficulties. Then we have our annual day at the show so a full day teaching to see if we can bring more children onboard to fly fishing!

Add the pup settling in, and he has, it has been pretty frenetic
