    G'Morning (late evening).

    Very uncomfortable……cannot sleep. Ugh. 2" incision on pec muscle and 2" incision on neck. Getting a good sleep position seems impossible..

    Been a long azzz day.

    DBIL/DSIL coming for weekend. Not really up for guests, but it will be nice for DW to be around family on Holidays.

    Hope your PT is producing results, SamIAm.

    Dennis - you made right choice. THOUGH, my OCD would probably not make the same decision you did. Haaaa.

    Enjoy the Good Friday Freedom to make bad choices, Lou! When does the warden, I mean C come home?

    Cheers,

    Skipper

    Mornin' BBB

    Good luck today with 4th round. Skip, you are a man with many incisions. How many surgeries/procedures, in total, have you had?

    Yup, we have an unmatched washer and dryer. They are a mixed couple, and they work great together.

    Yesterday was a long, physical, day. A little achy breaky this morning.

    Good morning

    We're 2 hours in and a half hour away. Rain the whole but radar looks like it cleared over lake now. Home is getting wounded now.

    90 some views on the HD for sale ad. Hope some calls come.

    Have a blessed Good Friday, those celebrating.

    Morning BBB

    Easter parade and market supposed to be happening today. I know where the market is as I saw the tents yesterday but parade??? No time or place listed. Very south America style. It will happen when it happens.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    I'd like to pat you on the back, Skip, but I'd probably hit a place that hurt. Hang in there, brother.

    Great to see you getting aback to the lake, Mary.

    Our choir is singing at the Good Friday service at church this evening. Before then, I want to finish the rattle I am turning for my nephew's expected baby. It's turned from a piece of the cherry tree that grew in front of the old family home in Salem.

    Good morning BBB Friends.

    • Skip, I look forward to the time when you get a good night sleep.
    • New washer shipped and should be delivered on Tuesday.
    • Refrigerator isn't cooling but the freezer is extra cold. Apparently, the damper between the two was frozen up. We found a local guy who does appliance repair as a side job. Quite knowledgeable and inexpensive.
    • A hand turned cherry baby rattle made from a tree on the family homestead. Sounds like an heirloom.
    • Enjoy opening weekend Mary.
    • Enjoy the holiday market and parade Steph.
    • Kelly is puppy free.
    • Leo is in charge of the house.
    • I'm working AV for our Good Friday service.

    Good Morning,

    No real plans for today, been invited to join DS and family for dinner; DGD turned 16 today. DGS enlisting in Navy and will report sometime in June after graduation from high school.

    Shoulder is improving, still will not allow me to drive;

    It's Good Friday also know in south as day to plant gardens, shoulder will not allow breaking up soil and not allowed to bend over or stoop because of eyes. May try late garden after doctor's release.

    Finished the rattle. Not too impressive looking, I suppose. The hollow part has walls a bit less than 1/16 inch thick. For rattles I used several dry elbow macaroni. They make a better sound than beans. The decorative stripe is black walnut. No applied finish on a piece that might end up being mouthed. This is just buffed to a high sheen. A bit under 4 inches long.

    Dave, my DW, a woodworker's daughter, is quite impressed. Lucky baby.

    Good afternoon BBB friends.

    • Thought we had the refrigerator fixed yesterday only to wake up this morning to find more problems. The guy is coming back this evening. He is optimistic, me, not so much.
    • Nice motorbike ride and BBQ this afternoon.
    • Did I tell you my great nephew (18 years older than Dave's) received earned a full Naval ROTC scholarship to Texas A&M Galveston?
    • Enjoy the lake Mary. Two properties are a lot of work.
    • Tomorrow is Easter.
