Thanks for the reply SC. Doc says the little hole method won't work for me. It will be 3" cut, a temporary shunt and the use of a 2 millimeter "spoon" to scoop the junk out of the plugged vessel. The vessels will all get stiched back in place and I'll have a new conversation starter ...

Good to hear from you. Honeysuckle Rose is all topped off with diesel, oil is changed, water tank is full and waste water is empty. We are just waiting on a few health issues to clear up and we'll be out the door! The vascular surgeon will tell me tomorrow when I start a heavy duty ration of blood ...

Well, black-eyed peas didn't help this year so far! Three of us, including a visiting 15 yr old great grandson, got covid in mid Jan. Have had it before, but this one was worse because we didn't make time for vaccines. Never make that mistake again! Recovering now, with some remaining symptoms that ...

Happy New Years to all ! We made sure to have ribs with sauerkraut, and black-eyed peas on Jan 1. That should guarantee a good year!

Hello....... Good to see some activity. To be honest I thought the forum had died, as I couldn't get it to load. Don't know what happened, but see it's working again. It has been quiet for a while. I check in usually a few times a week. Have even posted a time or two. Used to get an email from Shar...

Still hanging in here. I check in regularly and it is very quiet. Did you get moved? Looked like great place to be. We have been to TN once a few weeks ago for another funeral. Wife is almost healed up from broken hip, so that is very good. Lots of vehicle maintenance and right now, just ready for a...

Well, my update du jour. Ended up with 6 weeks in the hospital. Her leg is healing slowly. Luckily she is not one of the 1 in 5 who dies from this thing! We had spring rains that lasted until the first week of July, then it turned hot and humid. We did get 40 peonies planted in pots for fall plantin...

If you get in touch, tell him I said hi! We emailed for a while then he went radio silent. Hope he is ok... How you loving that over the road stuff? Kind of "amateur hour" at the truck stop these days! Lots of new guys that really don't get very good training. Or they don't listen. One of ...

Bluebird update. I took pics of the 5 eggs on 17 May. Yesterday I looked again and there are at least 4 young birds, fledged out and just about ready to learn flying! And we have gotten about a dozen blackberries so far....if I ever get a chance to plant them out of these pots, I bet we will get a l...

And the bluebird nest reported on in the "where is everyone" section needs updating! There were 3 babies that survived the first batch and now the same pair is working on another batch, starting with 5 new eggs! I have been trying to not bother them too much....

Well, that subject should be generic enough to mean just about anything to anyone..... For me, it means strawberries, blackberries, Amaryllis, peonies, and potatoes. For now. I planted some Amaryllis seed last year in pots and got 9 beautiful medium sized bulbs for the effort. This year, am planting...

Once in a while, I go back through the past...and revisited this today. Last post here was 2015. Last post from them was in 2017. Curious how they are doing now and if their experiment continues....?

Not exactly on thread, but so much isn't.... I ran across this and since most of the people here are of the mature persuasion, it is likely that most can read cursive. And I have heard and observed from younger ones in the family that this is not being taught in many schools any more. This looked li...

Well, I had an interesting small engine search today. I have a 1976 Sears Craftsman rototiller that needs a breather tube from the crankcase to the carburetor. I call this the killer tiller, because there is a fatal flaw to the design that Sears told me years ago requires it to be returned, presumab...
