I only made not quite 12K.

Man, there was one stretch where I was smooshing back underbrush and vines and all kindsa shit where I’d smoosh for five feeet, back up, chainsaw for ten minutes, move shit, then move forward for five more feet and repeat.

It took me two hours to go 30 feet in that stretch.

 

[Wonderer67]

Sounds lovely!! Soak up every minute!
Thanks for the beautiful photos

Flashback on that last one

Classic! I used to do that all the time. I hadn’t thought about that in years!

And 15K steps.


I get in so many more steps Out West without even trying.


The landlady has made the renters an offer they don't refuse to sell off the parcel we cleared with Bo, as soon as we get the septic installed and the water run to it.

I never have watched and episode. I still wonder what they are about. I have seen pictures.

 

[Wonderer67]

We had some loud thunderstorms with heavy rain earlier tonight. OMG - you should hear the cricket symphony tonight.

A lovely sound. They are so loud this time of year!

 

[Wonderer67]

I'm going to get severe weather Saturday night into Sunday morning & very hot temps 101 degrees

Be careful RJ!

 

[Wonderer67]

Same. I resisted the suggestion from my ophthalmologist for years. When I finally had them done, I asked him why he didn't suggest it earlier!

Of course, I'm now that little old lady who wears her reading glasses on top of her head. I have pairs everywhere!

Me too. I must always have a pair of readers within reach.

 

[Wonderer67]

I hope you get feeling back soon if you haven't already.

Not quite there but it’s a little better…

 

[Wonderer67]

I dislike how some professions are treated... 99% of the people don't have their degree "revoked" or expire, just because they worked in a different field for a while....

I agree. I have three sort of lame designations that last forever. But the one main one I need for work I have to renew every three years and jump thru hoops to stay qualified for. If work didn’t pay for some of the professional development training i need for it, I’d be fucked.

And if I lost that designation, I’d have a hard time working again if it lapsed.

 

[subdudeme13]

Hopefully that thing spins on out to sea. I needed to do the same but was on hospital duty, so the boys are going to have to step up. I should be home before it decides what to do with itself!

I am in Tampa area so this thing should miss us, I just want to be prepared. If you are hit by one it seems that the recovery is the hard part. There are people that still have not recovered from last year.

 

[Wonderer67]

Don't laugh! You might be surprised where IVs get started! If we can't find a vein in a conventional spot, we'll search out (ahem!) other areas until we can get a central line placed.

This sort of grosses me out, but I have such a thing for nurses, I’d be like, “ok.”

I tried cutting back. Tried being the key word. I don't drink two pots a day like I did so maybe I have cut back a little?

Sounds awesome!!!

Sounds awesome!!!

They want a piece of dirt to call their own. This way, they can do that.


And we can turn a tidy profit from holding the financing and making it work for them.


It's the 'Murrikan Way.

It’s the best way. Fuck the banks.

They wouldn't qualify. We have rental experience with them.


Besides, best thing is, if they Welsh on the deal halfway through, we get to keep all the money and take the dirt back.


Truly, bloodsuckery at its bestest!!!


And fuck the banks!!! And the poelease, too.

Woke to strong storms @ an hour ago. They've passed through. On their way East toward Lake Michigan now.

Catch up needs to wait. I need more
Catch Yaz later as @Wonderer67 would say

Good morning all. Hope you all have a great Saturday!

Lots of projects planned for the day here. Maybe some rain coming too!
We need it right now!

That front is heading our way now. Taking a quick break, and listening to the thunder rolling in.

It making for some neat looking clouds.

Afternoon everyone. I was able to go back and get a bit more sleep. What's everyone else up to today?

My forecast is for a wet weekend, but I don't see mention of severe storms. Just a lot of rain - sometimes heavy.

No advance mention of severe storms that I could find. But the thunder and lightning woke me and I checked the phone to find all sorts of warnings and watches for severe weather. The storm passed in @ 1hr. I was spared any damage and power outages that hit all around me.

Put a bullseye on it for me!

Oh, Lili... don't encourage him.

You said "wet weekend."
Mine is a week away.

You got it!!!

ahem

Almost everyone has some accommodation loss after cataracts surgery. There are special lenses that can be implanted to help with this. Unfortunately, I was not a candidate for them. My ophthalmologist already had to order special lenses due to my prescription need.

That's my fear. I'm not a lasik candidate. Insurance won't help w/ the cataract surgery w/o cloudy lenses. I have strong allergic reactions now to plastics. By the time I need the surgery, will I tolerate the lenses?

Are you gonna need bail?

I put the Wat Fund Jar on the counter just in case

"Blackberry flashmob!"

I'm slower these days... I'll drive the getaway car.

Don't laugh! You might be surprised where IVs get started! If we can't find a vein in a conventional spot, we'll search out (ahem!) other areas until we can get a central line placed.

Can confirm.
Last surgery, they got a small IV in the back of my hand (that was stick #7). Between starting that IV and knocking me out I heard at least 4 people mention that it was too small for the procedure. When I woke, the same IV was in the back of my hand, but I had 9 more bruises from attempts made to get a better line while I was out.

What happened to your computer?

The computer is fine. But for an hour a day I need to strap into a therapy device. Of course it takes almost a half hour to get into the dang thing. Far less to get out.

Yesterday she could not keep anything down.

Poor baby! I hate tummy issues. Hope she feels better soon.

I may need to help my daughter with rides to and from the dealership today. Also will see my GF and an evening of celebrating another widows birthday with other ‘WIDs’. We are an active group.

Sounds like a busy but fulfilling day, B2

I'm still trying to get the kids to realize that they don't fucking know everything and that with this customer, we're not in Kansas any more.

They may need the School of Hard Knocks and some Growing Up. You can only help with one of those... the other you can fertilize and water but they need to do the rest.

I started an IV in a boob... we gave code meds through it.... diabetic esrd on dialysis with a fistula... you do what you have to do

Oh, that poor patient. Not for the IV - thankful you were able to get a line started. But the rest of what they had going on.

It is. We r having fun. Today is brunch pool and tonight we are going to see cats at a local.yheatre

Makes me giddy. I love how much fun you're having on this trip!!

Me too. I must always have a pair of readers within reach.

My mom was like that. When she passed I rounded them all up and donated the ones in good condition or still unopened in their packaging.

This sort of grosses me out, but I have such a thing for nurses, I’d be like, “ok.”

Cautionary Tale: "She said she was a nurse, so I just let her do it."

I tried cutting back. Tried being the key word. I don't drink two pots a day like I did so maybe I have cut back a little?

It's not easy - good job scaling back even a little bit. Do you have a long-term goal? I've found that coffee is something best tapered down very slowly to be successful.

Lots of projects planned for the day here. Maybe some rain coming too!
We need it right now!

Then this one will likely deliver a nice but not overwhelming bit of precipitation.

I need a nap.

I will always have my degrees; they're earned and can't be taken away. It's the license to practice which is conferred by the state. It can be taken away, mostly for egregious infractions. In my case, I voluntarily let my license expire.

Yes Ma'am, they can't take away ones knowledge...
Similarly (I renew my license every 5 years, medical certificate every 2 years) it isn't the man who invested $21 million that decides if I'm qualified to run his boat for him, rather, it's a beauracrat up around the DC beltway...
