I use mine as much as a garden tractor then as a mower. I have one of those small Gorilla Carts I tow behind and load up with weeds or whatever. The tractor gets used a lot and is one of the last really old school Cubbies and very dependable. The mower deck should be OK for a long while too as it got fixed right is now better then that bubble gum welding job the factory did on it. They must count everybody's welding rods at the end of the day to make sure they did not use too much.
I went to a specialist. Ear, nose & throat. he took a biopsy of a sore in my mouth.
It's kind of like a canker sore but it just won't heal.
After that I came home and had a grand mal seizure. After that I didn't feel that well so didn't want anything to eat.

Not a whole lot today. No appointments till 5pm. Spent the day trying to digest a stack of medical reports 3" thick from my recent testing in Toronto and wrap my head around the results. Apparently I have a neurocognitive disorder due to a traumatic brain injury as a result of my accident which prevents me from ever working again.
Another blah day today. Went to a police bike auction tonight. Got the missus a bike for cheap. Now I want to be a bicycle seat. Lmao
Heading out for a 4 hr drive to my brothers place for my nieces grade 12 graduation. Then either drive back tomorrow or Saturday morning to do my last gig with my band till October.

Had dinner at Olive Garden with old friend I had not seen in decades. She's in town to visit her brother and we set up a dinner date. The four of us had a great time, lots of laughs and reminiscing. My face hurts from smiling so much.
Then I come home and find this awesome rainbow.
It took 2 pics to show the whole thiing.

Until a plumber arrived. Then paid $383 for something that seemed fairly minor.
If my great nephew wants to go to college I think I will try to talk him into training to be a plumber instead.

Nice pictures.
I drove 4 hrs today to get to my nieces grad. It started at 1. Guess when I got here? Yep. 1. Drove 4 hours. Not even enough time to take a piss before having to sit another 2.5 hours.

This is day 4 off work, so I'll enjoy it.
Last night the cat got out and I was frantic, but he came back almost 4 hrs later.
Little bastid lol

Well my dad does it again. I get to meet all kinds of people because of my dad and today I got to meet an astronaut. Robert L. Stewart. I get to call him Bob now...lol
This completes one of my bucket list items.
I got to ask him why they didn't back haul space debris every trip in the space shuttle. Not enough fuel to change orbit per mission. It is something they would like to do with the next generation shuttle if we ever have one. He thinks we will have something but it will have to come from the private sector. Very interesting guy. First Army man ever to be an Astronaut.
Like talking to your neighbor. Great guy.

Any news on that Brian?
By the way, you're a good man.
Didn't do anything today but work on C- west from 2-10p.
Cat's been fed and he's content.
Thanks. All bloodwork came back clear. They suspect a form of colitis causing her colon to become inflamed seeing as she's diabetic.

That's what they decided I had. If you're diabetic, food get retained in your stomach and doesn't get digested and cleared out. It leads to all kinds of problems.
Up at 6:00 this morning to get the brisket out of the fridge and let it warm up to room temperature. Started the new pellet grill and got ready for round 2 with the thing. Hopefully nothing catches fire or melts this time.
If everything goes to plan, this should be the easiest 12 hour smoke of my life. I've got the cooking profile entered on my phone so all I have to do is turn it over, spritz and keep the hopper filled. I'm following their cooking instructions and not our usual routine. We'll see how it goes.
Got to go get a haircut and beard trim this afternoon in prep for our Scotland trip. May do some bush hogging too. Then again ... maybe not.
Off to take the trash out.
Stayed up too late trying to get in to an older James Patterson book.
Cradle and All.
Right now it's coffee time- working again this afternoon.

Good stuff.
Got a bit done so far today. Moved the truck camper to make room for the big one next weekend. Then tackled the yukon installing the brake controller and hood/window deflectors.

All that work for a buck 15? That is more then fair my friend. Around here they would charge that just to change a spark plug, no joke.

I just charge for parts . That saw probably would have been scrap if he would have had to pay shop rates .Generally i just do it for the local farmers and neighbors . But I did do about 50 chains for one of the local shops N/C . But then he usually gets me parts at dealer cost . So it all works out for everyone .
Oh you and your chainsaws
Very happy to know you're feeling good enough to be out working in the shop, John.
Right now I am relaxing before bed time.
Tomorrow is my day off until back on the killer schedule.
Well, cooking that brisket was easy. It took 12 hours in total, including a 1-1/2 hour rest period. It was worth it though. You could cut it with a plastic fork and tasty ....!!!!! beautiful smoke ring!!!! It was almost like cheating. The only thing was that the almost 8lb brisket filled that little grill. I'm going to send out care packages to a couple of friends tomorrow and get their opinion but my grade was an A+.
Got my haircut and beard trim. My hairdresser called it "sexy short" but she doesn't know what to think. That's 3 haircuts this year and it's only June. Beats the hell out of my usual 2 a year. I hope that she has a great vacation on all that extra money she is getting from me this year. She knows the good times are over though. As I walked out the door I shouted over my shoulder, "See you in December".

1:45am and I am up and in pain.
My left wrist, which was injured a couple weeks before Easter, is in constant pain. Wrist brace seems to do nothing. It cannot support any weight, even a dinner plate is too heavy. Rotational stresses are even worse.
But it just hurts today. Constant pain. Pain pills don't work. Bourbon doesn't help. I can't sleep. It feels like there is a 16 penny nail being driven through my wrist.
I realize in the grand scheme of things a single sore joint on my body is a minor problem but damn it really hurts and I sound like a cry-baby. And the fact that it is constant intense pain means I can't get comfortable when I sit and rest, when I try to sleep, etc. Hurts when I drive, hurts when I sit. Nothing I have tried seems to help.
Might see if there is a surgical solution? I was told by 2 doctors it will take time. But damn.

I take it you have had an MRI on that wrist? Do the doctors at least know what is causing this? Living in constant pain is no picnic and frankly I'm surprised they are basically telling you to go home and wait it out.
Maybe a third opinion? That sheepskin hanging on their wall never tells you how they finished in their class in Med School.
I can sympathize with the pain. Mine has actually been better with my new "medication". It does help.
Didn't you say not long ago that you'd been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis?
If that's the cause of the pain, then perhaps surgery would be the answer.
A partial or total fusion of the carpal.
Melensdad, I sympathize. Constant pain drags you down both mentally and physically. I hope that you find a solution and "learn to live with it" is not a solution. I've been down that road.
