Dh went in for surgery #2 about 2:15. Should be out in a couple hours then recovery for a bit.
 
Ron stay safe. Hope everyone is all right in Paradise.

@chickadoodles, that man of your's is a trooper, even letting you take his picture. The look on his face says, 'Man I'll be glad when this is over, hurry up you guys!'

Hope everything goes well.

I got home from my town run at noon. 5 stops in an hour and a half with 20 minutes round trip driving so one hour and 10 minutes. I just wanted to get home so I could take my medicine, LOL. Had something really cool happen on the way home. There is a section of timber on one side of the road between Amish farms that is probably half a mile total. The minute my van was in that area, a juvenile red tailed hawk dipped down out of the woods and was flying over my right front fender and about three feet over my antenna. It paced me the whole half mile, occasionally glancing down at me. DH speculated that he was surfing the turbulence the van was causing but it was cool having one fly along with me like that and getting a close look at it. Beautiful bird.

Speaking of birds.....jNo free turkey's this year at the local C&R. They are giving you 10$ off with 9000 store points this year. The Assistant Manager wasn't too happy with them doing that. Called it corporate greed. Still a deal. Got a 11.5 pound bird for $3.68. I'll pick up another one and quarter them both for the freezer.

It is amazing that the hawk flew with you!
 
I was pretty surprised, too, Ron. First time one has ever done that although like DH I think he was just taking advantage of the air currents our big van was creating and being lazy.

I've had a great horned owl pace me before. Strange to look out your driver's side window and see one of these huge birds flying along side you.
