MissouriPicker Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 No more rain here until late tonight.  Still wet and cold…..Good day to do as little as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Its 18.33 GMT and the only plan remaining is to play some guitar, watch a movie and enjoy a beer. The car was serviced today, and I've walked 12,000 steps. A good day.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Saturday looks sunny so I might go buy a few yard birds today and throw them on the Traeger Saturday morning. Mesquite smoked chicken is a good thing.

Rain seems to have let up for a few days.... I think it's supposed to rain again on Sunday. California has been in a drought a few years.....(I contend we don't have a 'water problem' but a 'water storage problem'). Now, the reservoirs are overflowing.... being declared 'a disaster' by our government. So, instead of capturing the water so the citizens of California can have access to water, it's permitted to just run to the ocean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Clear liquid diet today followed by epic episodes of cathartic activity tonight in preparation for tomorrow morning's early colonoscopy. Please wish me luck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Valley (of the sun) has its own issues though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Gibson Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 My plan is moving the snow after last night’s snow storm. This is one case example how history repeats itself again and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Best wishes Tman. Got enthusiasm today. I'm not going to waste it. Cherry I are going to walk some bridleways, maybe the South Downs. Its drizzling but we have wet weather gear and a compass. I'll wear the new hiking boots she got for my birthday. I usually cook an evening meal. Might get a takeaway instead. Thinking Chinese at the moment. Why am I so pumped today?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are worse things, (if that can be believed)..... my doctor said colonoscopies are no longer necessary for me....because if something WERE to be found, I'll die of something else long before it got to be a problem!

Whitefang Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Today's the day when most non-Irish think the best way to "celebrate" is to cook something that leaves their houses smelling like they all have a pet buffalo that isn't house broken. No wonder the Irish drink a lot.  Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman will be on his way to his close-up  by now.  Our neighbor/good friend across the street called Tuesday to tell us they found cancer in her colonoscopy.  Getting a Barium MRI next.  She and her husband are in their mid-80s and have been hit especially hard in the past months.  Just when they are seeing daylight at the end of the tunnel - WHAM !  Another one.  Each has 2 or 3 other major issues going on.   Amazingly good spirits though - upbeat and happy.  We are 10 years 'younger'  but internalize it.  2 years ago they were very active. He did all his own yard work, etc.   Yes -  "Growing old is not for the feint of heart."   The best you can hope for, is to die in your sleep.  The day after you ran out of money.   On a happy note -  I finally figured out the way to make beer green is to add BLUE food dye.  They should at least teach THAT is science class ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
