I used the stress of knowing what the next few days will hold for me to help me get past some painful words and events in "The Brick." I added about 3400 words this afternoon. I want to thank those who left well wishes. It means a lot to me, but know that I fully intend to rise above this stuff.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Big Freeze Begins Wednesday
Welllll. We'll know in a few days what is what here. They basically stripped me and had me stand on a stool so they could search my skin for cancers, and they found a lot of them. They ordered a number of tests to do more testing for specific chemicals in the blood for certain kinds of cancer... Sign in to see full entry.
I'm Off To See The Wizard
I stayed up far too long last night working on a number of things. I didn't get to bed until about 3:30 AM and here it is... 9:30 AM... getting ready to go talk with the doctor about 'stuff.' I've had a huge surge in the number of skin cancers forming, with most of them on my face. I've had three... Sign in to see full entry.

The winds died in the middle of the night, but that scourge was replaced by about two inches of snow. It won't last long as the temp is supposed to rise to about 42. As hunting season draws closer, the number of areas that I normally used as places to walk and explore dwindle. The flooding we have... Sign in to see full entry.

It is about 35 out right now, with a steady 20 mph wind out of the north. While that is cold, I am happy to see that all the work we did to prepare for the cold during the week is paying off. I can see one small area that needs a bit more work, but by and large, it is staying much warmer in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Wanna Do a Show?
We lost power about ten minutes after my last post here this morning and it just came back up. In the mean time, we spent this semi-warm rainy day finishing the work on the garage. I think we've accomplished everything I needed to get done before the onset of an Upper Peninsula winter sets in. I... Sign in to see full entry.

I was out all day walking the trails and working in the house. I got a photo that I love and will share it tomorrow. Depending on your viewpoint, it will be either amazing or you'll ask yourself, 'Why did he bother?' I liked it, so that is all that mattered to me. If you've been reading "The Brick,"...

Thanks to those who wished me well. I'm feeling a bit better today. There has been a big flu bug going through the area, and while I didn't feel the best for a day or so, I didn't get it to the extent that many others I know did. It's allegedly going to 'warm up' a bit to the mind 40's today and 50... Sign in to see full entry.

Despite of how I felt... crappy to be exact... I decided to buck the cold, snow, and wind to go out to the Seney National Wildlife Refuge. OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!! Besides all of the nice fall/winter shots I got, I saw roughly nine separate eagles including a piebald (I think that is the name... Sign in to see full entry.
We've got about an inch of snow on the ground this morning, and the flakes are still falling. The forecast says we'll have a high of about 36 today, but tomorrow will be back in the mid 40's, so the snow will be gone. My dogs love it and spent twenty minutes playing in it this morning. I spent too... Sign in to see full entry.
