The Old Folks Home

At least it's dead, and that was the desired result. Hey, if I thought sprinkling food for them on a bucket of tar from the La Brea tar pit would do the job, I'd be ordering a bucket of tar from them. Whatever works.

I hope it's dead...I will know if it stops drinking

I managed to get the kitchen floors scrubbed. I will do more, but the kids need to pick up their toys, when they wake up. They were up late last night, and went swimming from about midnight to 2:00 am. They fell asleep when their heads hit their pillows. They'll start waking up in a bit. That's the wonderful thing about summer vacation. We don't have to keep conventional hours.

Good morning, Everyone.

Did you have a reaction to the first shot? I had little to none.

Did you have chicken pox as a kid?

Happy Thursday everyone!

DH and I spent the last two days in the field....literally, trying to repair our big loop antenna which was damaged in the storms we had. It was fun....not. Well, not entirely not, only partially not.

Putting up a loop antenna means first planning out where you want to run the antenna wire. You have to be able to bridge areas where there aren't trees and have enough areas where you can safely shoot pull lines over trees without putting out a neighbor's cow's eye. Then we shoot fish line over the trees using our cross bow and a specially designed arrow that has the line attached to it. THEN you get to spent the next two hours trying to find the arrow and hope that it is hanging from the tree that you want it to hang from. It seldom is and finding it is never easy, especially in summer when the canopy is thick and green.

If we are lucky and find the arrow without having to pull it back out of the timber and reshoot it, we then tie a heavy duty paracord to the fish line and pull it through the trees so we can attach the antenna wire to it and then hoist it into the trees...groan. I think we called it a day at 4 pm yesterday, then DH went back out to collect all of our equipment after dinner. We slept in this morning.

The big rush here was because they are calling for severe weather here over the past 4 days or more. Heavy rain, flash flood watches, tornado risk and 80 mph wind gusts. Our luck and the danged antenna will get damaged again. Watch one of those trees get knocked down...grumble grumble.

Other than that, trying to play catch up with the housework. Big news is I finally have my article/narrative on my experiences with Marek's disease and my illos done. I need to scan the illos into the computer, figure out how to insert them into the article and then it is good to go.

Stay well, everyone. Seems as thought everything involving medical care is a challenge any more. My appointment with the new Rheumy is next Wednesday and two weeks later, DH has another MOHS surgery done on his face.

Just shows that as you get older, it's always something.

Guess we due for our well checks at our Dr.s the next few days

 

[bruceha2000]

but didn't get your morning coffee.

Ah, but once your tests are over that coffee will taste SO much better.

Did you have chicken pox as a kid?

I hope so because there is no reason to get a shingles shot if you never had chicken pox.

As my mother said, "After 40, it's patch, patch, patch."

I lucked out... didn't really start falling about until 48 or so.

Good morning, Everyone.

Did you have a reaction to the first shot? I had little to none.

With the first shot, I had a sore arm but no other reactions.

The reaction was mild and gone by evening. The arm is barely sore today.
