Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) Thinking about it, but also waiting to hear about knee replacement surgery. It's already 4 years past due, because of COVID etc. I was thinking about driving the motorhome out and doing some sight-seeing and getting reacquainted with friends and family, but my riding partner tells me he can't make the trip. Something to do with a four letter word: WORK! Getting old sucks, but it beats the alternative.

DeaconKC Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Had to go to the TMobile Store here this morning. When we switched carriers the girl waiting on us just couldn't rave enough about how wonderful the Google Pixel phones were, so we got them. Well, they are First Class pieces of JUNK. My wife has already had to have her first one replaced and I just went and had them rehook my old Motorola because there is so much Google "assistance" crap I got fed up with it. At least the phones were no charge when we signed up. Anyway, got home, loaded some primer tubes for the Dillon and gonna go do some "reloading therapy" in the garage. Grump on! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Well, more grumpin' ! Got about 150 rounds loaded and decided to throw some brass in the tumbler. The garage starts flooding because the outside [supposedly winter proof] faucet has broken inside the wall! The missus and I spent about an hour and a half getting the water cleaned up in the Master bathroom, laundry room and storage room in the garage! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 I know a bit about that, we came home from Uganda One year to find our 1,840 for basement with 3 feet of water in it... The sump pump was running steady, but couldn't keep up... Some one jimmied both outside taps so they ran wide open down the side of the house... The person ( watching ) the house didn't notice... This was 10 days before the SASS Canadian Nationals.... Made it to the shoot, but a little worn out.... Jabez Cowboy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeaconKC Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Finally got the faucet replaced yesterday that caused the problem last week. Then our g'niece came by after school, she just got braces, so her mouth is sore. Working this afternoon at the LGS.

Blackwater 53393 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 YIPPEE!! Doc says I can start wearing a shoe on the bad foot again. We decided to go a few more days in bandages and the walking boot, just to give it a little more time to toughen up. Yowsah!! Schoolmarm’s oncology checkup was perfect again! They’re even changing one of her meds to a much less expensive one. GRRRRUMP!! Gotta go tomorrow to see when, where, and what kind of surgical procedure will have to be performed to correct her ruptured disc! She’s been in pain and had problems with her knee, hip, and lower back for so long that we’re BOTH worn out from loss of sleep and constant discomfort. At least, with any luck, tomorrow we’ll know what’s happening and maybe see a little light at the end of the tunnel! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 It has been six days since the bandage on my foot showed any bleeding!! Let’s see what my regular doctor has to say! I gotta pick up a driver’s manual for my youngest grandson whilst I am out today! He says he’s ready to start learning to drive, so I suspect that we’d better get him coached up for the learner’s permit test!! I reckon I’ll pick up lunch after the lab lady draws off a half gallon of my blood for testing!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Other than my motorcycles, I don’t have anything stick shift anymore! I DO have a couple of vehicles with full manual shift automatic transmissions, but they don’t require the use of a clutch! I reckon I could find something with a manual transmission amongst the vehicles that I have access to… I have a few friends with NHRA Gas and Super Stock cars!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 WELL!! They DID take nearly half a pint of blood today! Five vials!! I was almost to town and four or five minutes from the doctor’s office , or so I thought, when the phone rings. They inform me that my doctor has moved from the small hospital building where he’s been for twenty-five years or more to a new location in a town about twenty miles away! They apologize for not having informed me earlier. I explain that I was five minutes from the old location and that I would be another thirty minutes getting across my town and across the county to the new office! If the cops had seen me, I would likely be UNDER the jail right now, but I made the trip in fifteen minutes! My doctor really went to great lengths to apologize and explained that a new group bought out the group that owns the little hospital and that they didn’t want general practice, so he and his entire staff moved and joined another group. I like my doc a lot and I usually only see him about every three months, so other than today’s inconvenience, no problem! Otherwise, everything seems to be fine. I’ll know about the bloodwork in a couple of days and the only bad thing is, I’ve gained almost ten pounds since I have been off my feet! Looks like I’m going back on the stationary bike, (been waiting for the foot to heal up) and maybe I will reduce my portions for a while ‘til I can get back into shape!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
