Yeah, you’re right. As bad as losing some sight is, worse case is far grimmer. Aside from some spot showers which do benefit the grass, the weather has been incredible. Blue skies and sunshine. Then a dark cloud rolls in and drops 1/4″ and rolls on by.

I’m not sure this is going to work, but I’ll give it go.

We were having dinner outside last…[Read more]

Things got really busy. Last window finally arrived and rushed to get it in then re – side the exterior wall and interior trim before the weekend. No.1 son and family tell us they are arriving Friday night and hanging till Monday. Tuesday, wifey tell me she wants to go shrub shopping, so I end up spending the afternoon planting.

I hope you seen…[Read more]

Saw the sun play peekaboo this morning, rain this afternoon.

It’s odd how the iphone filters nighttime pics. Still no aurora, or mopon or stars over here. Just clouds and rain.

No such luck over here. Too far south and too many lights. 70 years, we’ve experienced a glimmer of the aurora once.

All episodes considered that’s a pretty speedy return. I get it though. I go nuts sitting around the house so I probably try to get back to normal routine quickly too.

Best wishes for your improvement.

My mom had a stroke that contorted the left side of her face. and impacted her speech. It took a few months, but the muscles relaxed, and she regained her speech. It may take a while, even months so keep optimistic.

By the way, I meant to say my cornea was damaged, not the retina. 3 hours on my back while the doc cleaned the wound and put 5…[Read more]

Keep the faith the eye will recover. Doc gave me a 20% chance of full recovery. I’m not 100% from where i was but it’s not real noticeable. The grands called me pop pop the pirate. It was 4-5 months before I was sure of the recovery.

Geez, That’s an ongoing nightmare for sure. I know you’ll get over the pneumonia, just pray that you recover your vision. A few years back I was rebuilding the basement stairs supports for my daughter’s house., 4×4 posts had to replaced due to termite damage. I used wet pressure treated which turned out to be like a rock. I was nailing across…[Read more]

Staying with the daughter this weekend. No. 2 GD makes her first communion on Saturday. Sunday, No. 3 GD gets baptized.

Hope you are doing better now. I got the pneumonia vax about 3 months ago.

Uh, not yet. This goofy site wouldn’t let me sign in.

60’s and nosing about 70 all next week.

90 % eclipse here. It got s little darker and had an eerie sense about it. Clouds rolled in about 5 minutes after peak. The brightness of the sun overshadowed the moon’s visibility even when it covered 90% of the sun. Turned out to be a nothing burger.

Son was in upstate NY. It got quite dark up there just as expected.

2nd valve replacement under the carriage worked.

4 days 4″ of rain, nothing heavy just constant. Finally, a sunny morning with 60’s coming next week.

It’s amazing how they easily find ways to hide fittings with common failure rates. I threw a code for an emissions valve. It was a simple replacement on top and alongside the valve cover. Had it done in 15 minutes. Check engine light cleared. 2 days later It’s throwing the same code. I pulled the new valve and reinstalled it. 2 days later…[Read more]

Easter was at no. 2 son’s place. Our family and daughter in law’s family 30 total. Lucked out with low 60s so all were mostly outside. The kids had a blast with the Easter bunny making an appearance.

Creeping up to the 60’s, but a little too slow getting there.

4 x 2 AA and he wrestled the same in every bout, wrestling not to lose and not to win.
