After snow on Wednesday and Friday, I mowed the grass today!
The poor daffodils got buried twice but perked up.
So glad our forecast only has rain for the next 7 days and temps in the 60s.
Stay safe Old Folks!

Yum!

How many hoses....hmmmm...12? Maybe....minus 3 already replaced leaving maybe 9 hoses at about 25$ apiece.

Do you have a backhoe? That adds a lot of hoses and to date those are the ones that have gone on my tractor thankfully under warranty. Do you have a 3rd function up front? That adds a few as well. I don't have that, too expensive.

Heading out to work on wood. It's that most wonderful time of the year....at least in the timber, everything is 'normal'. Or what passes for normal.

Sadly it is too wet to go out to my woods. In fact I think I need tons of stone to even make the "trail" up into the woods passable and that is just the first 100' or so.

I assumed he was referring to the Les part

No, you don't say! Well I'll be. I guess that is a more common first name

Beer Can, that is so right. My son called and was sarcastic and just plain mean. After he hung up I thought about it and realized what is going on. He thinks I live dangerously because I go to the grocery story with mask and gloves and minding social distancing. I also do not take the first product or two on a shelf because people often start to take something, change their mind and put it back.

He thinks(I guess) I would be safer living at ground zero where he and his girlfriend are. He said they were out walking, wearing proper masks (the real ones), and the masks got so filled with ????? they couldn't breathe with them on. He also wants to order groceries for me and have them delivered to the house.

Then he lit into me because I haven't modernized the house(50 years old) or made improvements.

My sole income is SS $ 574 a month. I qualify for food stamps & medical card. I'm not receiving either. I pay for dental insurance etc. I had PA dental coverage years ago and the woman dentist made a total mess out of my teeth. She attempted 4 crowns and messed them up. She also attempted a root canal with dismal results. The next dentist told me she had probably tried to find the roots, didn't and filled the hole with cement. Duh . I asked if that was a common practice. he said H - no!!! Then a period where the governor dropped dental benefits for adults.

She moved to Michigan(her origin) because all her patients HERE were PA. I googled her and found several complaints from patients who said she had caused them pain, suffering and really wrecked their teeth. I believe them.

I would be due for dental work BUT, latest dentist is closed as are most in the state except for emergencies. My teeth are not at that point. Allegedly adult dental PA was reinstated but, my dentist doesn't accept it.

I survived a lot of carp in my 72 years but, I think this covid thing is gonna do me in. Don't feel like "fighting" anymore. Don't find pleasure in anything.
What's the point of just piling on more years? My father lived to 90 with many serious health issues. He was so nasty to everyone, the neighbors didn't start talking to me till he kicked off!!

Diva, I'd let my son know, you will be glad to upgrade the house on his dime. I know he's telling the truth about wearing the "real masks" when he's complaining about not being able to breathe in them. That's why I prefer the full face mask, and the N95, or better, canister filter on it. They're so much easier to breathe in.

We go shopping at Costco as we are both at high risk gloves and n95 masks
