Good morning everyone. Make the best of your day.

Hi Sour

I forgot how hilarious they are with their sleeping positions

Geez, must make your heart stop to see them looking dead like that!! Of course chickens sunbathing can do the same thing.

My tulips are coming up.

In Utah?? Wow. We have a lot of snow to melt off before anything shows up.

Hope springs eternal.....

Hope may but Spring isn't, at least not here!

I’m probably being way too paranoid and rigid about the diet right now, but I have a GFR test coming up and I want that 27 to have gone up to at least 30, or even higher. So I find myself being militant most of the time.

I don't think you are being paranoid at all, not given the drop in your GFR, way more than would normally be expected for a person of your "life experience". I don't think sub 30 is normal for people even 90 years old.

I expect an all new shoulder will make your BIL feel a whole lot better.

Steve is out and it went fine! They were able to leave the origjnal stem in the arm and just replace the socket part. Now recovery begins. Lori is taking the first week off work, and their kids will check in when they can. We told Lori that if she finds herself short of help, we’re a phone call away. Thanks for the prayers!

I guess “paranoid” was the wrong word, Bruce, but I couldn’t think of a different one. “Careful” wasnt strong enough, “panicked“ was too strong!

Man, that multi-car pileup was way worse than we first heard. 4 people confirmed dead, dozens injured, and 140 vehicles involved. The first accident was 100 vehicles, followed just down the highway by another 40. So that’s 140 vehicles, mostly big rigs. One news broadcast I watched said that some on the smaller passenger vehicles have been very difficult to find among the wreckage, they are smashed and sandwiched so badly, so who knows what the final count will be. Cattle haulers were smashed so cattle - injured and uninjured - were wandering on the highway too. Ken and I try to avoid I-80 anytime of the year, preferring to take our chances with the side highways. Those trucks just don’t give a hoot about speed limits, passing, tailgating....it’s terrible. They’ll be in both lanes as they start up an incline because one tried passing the other, both end up slowing way down (still side by side), and you’re stuck behind them. In the meantime, the trucks are stacking up behind and beside you, and then the incline turns into a downgrade. I hate it!!! Sure praying hard for the families impacted!

Well, on my way to the ER. Sliced my Stoopid finger open and it’s deep. I love my life?

Get it fixed up Blooie, I hate it when that happens.

Hope it's not as bad as you think! Keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi Sean, how are you today?

Hi Cap, enjoy the sunshine you get!

Thanks Deb, it was supposed to rain, but none so far! I did get the door built and hung!
It will get painted when it will have a chance to dry.

glad the bil is okay and prayers go out to those hurt in the pile up, and those truck drivers are the same as anywhere else

Are you up to date on your tetanus shots?
