We are about to enter our little "ice Age" for the next four to five days. While we might hit the 60s during the day, we will be in the low 30s and one or two nights will be down to the upper 20s. Yippie! LOL, I've lived in the UP long enough to have wandered around when it was -25 below without too... Sign in to see full entry.

Another day and a lot of things were accomplished. I'm very happy with what we did today. I got a call from the hospital at about 5:30 this evening, and I got my testing results. Everything was WNL (Within Normal Limits) with the exception of my potassium levels, which were low. I take 20 Meq... Sign in to see full entry.
We have one more day of nice weather (today) and then the cold front is coming from the north to take over our weather for a week. Rain is expected all day tomorrow, so we will switch to working inside instead of out. I have to run down for some lab tests (just standard stuff) this morning, but I'll... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm a little slow today, so bear with me. My normal pattern for the day is to be up by 8 AM and do some writing before I start to work outside. I then come in when it gets dark, grab something to eat, take a shower, and then settle down to write for an hour or two. I have one program I watch every... Sign in to see full entry.

I have to make a quick trip to Live Oak this morning to pick up a special tool e need and check on the availability of a few other things we will need very soon. I've been reading your comments on my "Hate" story, and things change in tone as of this post today. So far, most of this has been about... Sign in to see full entry.

More Property Photos
Whew. I guess I was more tired than I thought. I fell asleep watching #OnPatrol (a live program riding with cops from across America and the things they run into) and woke up at about 8 this morning to open the doors for the dogs. I made my normal posts here, and the wife asked me to come back in... Sign in to see full entry.

A Tree Pictorial
To better illustrate what we are doing/have done, I'm adding four photos of the job at hand. This is "The Tree!" Until yesterday, you couldn't see that mobile home in the background and you couldn't see the bottom three to four feet of the tree. The Top of the "The Tree." These vines are EVERYWHERE...

Another long and grueling day outside cleaning the yard. Today, it was a smaller area, maybe 35' x 45', but I literally found two old lawnmowers that were deep in the weeds and "tangly vines" as my wife calls them. I had waded out into that mess before but never saw the mowers. The vines and... Sign in to see full entry.
We have been super busy all week cleaning the backyard and it is finally beginning to show. We are trying to add more fencing that will allow us to completely fence in our yard. Right now, we have about 70% of the area fenced, but the southeast corner is twice the jungle the rest of the area was,... Sign in to see full entry.

It's another nice day here in the armpit of Florida. It got down to 55 last night, but we are heading up to 82 again this afternoon. If I saw the extended forecast right, we have another week just like this last one before we have another cold spell of highs in the low-60s and lows down to 38/40. It... Sign in to see full entry.
