Good morning!

A light freezing mix for the commute. Back to the 70s by Thursday. Spring has sprung.

I had three days off this weekend, but I do not feel rested or refreshed. There is simply too much going on. This weekend, we met with insurance people, and have been trying to figure out a vehicle for Collin. Collin is showing absolutely ZERO gumption in getting a car, job, or anything. I'm looking at how much we are paying for him and thinking what a difference that would make when I retire in three months. He is making comments like "that car does not have a good exhaust note." He is not feeling an urgency here.

I'm sure it is going to be very busy at work. If I am retiring soon, I need to get better focus and get some things caught up after the move.

Have a great day!

Good morning gentlemen.

Sorry to hear about work and family stresses. Wish we could sit with a cup of coffee and sympathize.

I am at another milestone, today. I am taking a hike! I plan to drive to a relatively easy loop trail in the Olympic Mountains. It's 7 or 8 miles with about 1,000 feet of climbing. No spectacular views, but it's a hike. First time on trail since last April.

Good grief buying a car for exhaust note. I like the sound of some of the Porsche cars but not buying one.
Oh gosh Lee so sorry to hear about marital friction with your son. Gosh many of us feel too micromanaged at times by SWMBO's. Always needs to be give and take. A hard lesson to learn and takes BOTH sides.

Nice hike Dave!!! We need to do hiking in the Olympics. God's Country indeed!!

Bill: I am glad to hear you are working on getting a new Urologist. Hope it's a good one. Your 2in1 surgery recovery sounds like it is getting better. One step at a time it sounds like.

I am hopeful my short term radiation will "do the trick". My well delineated MRI confirms as best as it can the areas of concern in the prostate with only a couple of slight "extensions" less than 3 mm. Zero seen in any lymph nodes at this point either.

I am dragging myself out daily to get in some bike riding and short walks with DW as well as easy yoga.

Hang in there all!

Good Evening,
Day started of at 2:30 this morning as I heard large truck and spider, delivering sod, glad I got up they had delivered my sod up the street and leaving me two pallets of Bermuda sod which requires full sun and is half price of what I had ordered. Saved installer several hours of hard labor of manhandling sod.
Backyard is sodded except for my garden area and hired a guy to breakup garden and get ready to plant; something I have never done before. Leg, shoulder and arm just will not allow me to do.
Glad hike worked out for you Dave, if there were not some pain would wonder if you were still living.
Steve, could a lot of stress be due to Collin; and until that is reconciled you may be better working. Hardest thing I ever done was putting DS out and cutting him off forcing him to be accountable for self, DW was so upset with me but was not first time, first time was when I fired him from construction company. He woke up about eleven years ago, purchased home and tries to take care of family. Last week put his foot down to DGD that she could not have a horse. They do not have enough land for a horse and to board a horse starts at $1,300 monthly.
"Zero seen in any lymph nodes" that's good news.
Bill, its good to keep in touch with good medical teams the older we get even if we did not have any issues which you do.
Lee, recommend you and Mary do not take sides but encourage counseling; I've never known a couple without some issues; and many are willing to give up to easily. A small one puts extra stress on every couple, could Mary visit them to care for DGS and allow them a vacation just for themselves. The Bible sets up a guide for living and family order, start with 1Corinthians.
Prayer really helps!
With rain and leg Pablo is not getting exercise he needs, neighbors have said they will walk him but their walk is very short. At least yard sodded and fenced now.
We have Pablo scheduled to be neutered Thursday, is there a reason I shouldn't?
