You probably are.
Just make sure you take the pain meds that I trust were prescribed, and lots of fluid.
It's going to not be pleasant for a few days when your bowels have to move.
Mowed the lawn, did some trimming and weeded some flowers and that's when I noticed my Rosa Rugosa bushes were being invaded by a horde of Japanese Beetles. They were not there yesterday, but today was a full scale invasion. They must have rode in on the cold front that come through yesterday.
Not to fear. Old TR was lock and loaded and ready for a fight. Armed with my trusty pesticide sprayer filled to the brim with that nasty skin burning, gloves and hat and goggle wearing pesticide SEVIN I attacked unmercifully. I expected no quarter and gave none. Mid way through my pump sprayer ran out and the enemy gained a level of enthusiasm and momentum, but a quick reload finished the job.
The ground is littered with the corpses of those rose eating bastards. But they are no more. I was victorious.
I will reconnoiter the battlefield this evening for any stragglers and again in the morning.

Lazy day at camp. Did some finishing touches on the kitchen. All done. Been relaxing watching the lovely missus play kings crib with a friend of ours.
Lazy Sunday here.
Been browsing the net,will go wash the car later since they've finally finished repairing the street in front of the apartment building.
That's it!

Lazy recovering day at camp after a couple rough nights around the fire. Hopefully the cobwebs dissipate before tonight.
Our apartment complex is having a bbq this evening in the back lawn area, nice folks that I've met so far!

Been slowly packing up all day at camp to head back to town. The kids start school weds and we want a day in between to get readjusted to the schedule. Early bed tonight for the kids.
It started to rain, then storm.
The others went under the veranda to sit on the patio with beers.
I thanked them, then walked around the fence and came inside.

Kids start school tomorrow so we did a mock run of the morning routin today to get them used to getting up dressed fed etc in time to head off. The oldest one has a lip on. His bus used to come around 8am and he struggled to make it in time last year. This year he gets picked up at 7:40am.
I was up before the birds and made a huge breakfast, then answered some email, got a visit from the lady next door who had made this wonderful tart last night.
She brought me over the recipe.
I go in to work at midnight and work til 8am.
Off hours, but I'm not questioning anything.

I can just see yo standing over the dead, hands victoriously on your hips, beaming with the pride of victory like Superman at the end of the movie.
Spent much of the week end in my self imposed 4' X 8' prison ce3ll,,,; AKA the new powder room dealing with paint issues. Cathy did not use the sealing primer I had bought for the walls, instead using the "most expensive one" at Lowes. It didn't stick to the dry wall paste.
So al of the corners bubbled or pulled loose when I tape them with low tack painter's tape.. Add to that the three colour paint scheme and it has been hell. I have had to peel mud sand and repaint every inside corner walls and ceilings. But, I'm down to the last corner today and all should now end well.
Already installed two sconce lights. Took an hour for each, cheap parts. Two trips to the store for a small packet of tiny #8 screws
because what came with the fixtures were too short or wouldn't thread.
Tonight I hope to finish painting the ceiling and, if nothing bad happens, onto the tile floor on Wednesday. Thickset mortar with almost no cuts. Just for the toilet drain hole and a few 1/2 pieces at the door and end of the room. 6" X12" tiles in a 49 1/2" by 98" room. With grout lines, a perfect fit.
By the coming week end I can have a 1:00 AM pee just five to six steps from the bed.

I've been in the kitchen doing dishes and mopping the floor, then made Aimee's perfecto rice and fried egg for lunch.
Huevo Frito Con Arroz baby!
She taught me how to make fool proof rice.
Yay!

Had a great night at work.
Made the mistake of..
A. Napping beforehand last night.
B. Making a Circle K coffee run at 4 this morning.
I'm wound!
I'll crash this afternoon just like last week.

Took my 2006 Chrysler Crossfire Convertible out of mothballs this morning. First time I've driven it since March of 2017.
It was like driving a new car.
Needs new rear tires and a State inspection/emissions so I can get new plates and put it back in the garage. So after 50-70 miles the computer will record for the emissions. That's four trips to work and back. Yippie!

I've been up since 5am.
My sleep schedule is messed up from the night shift, then napping.
I don't think I'll be doing those from now on, if I can help it.
Today is big grocery shopping after Aimee gets home this evening.
It's much cooler outside.
Going to enjoy the day, as well as tomorrow being off, as I work this weekend.

Looks like we are driving about 135 miles south to look at, and possibly purchase, a motorcycle. Then after leaving the dealership we will head an hour northeast to Bloomington and take Melen out to dinner. Returning home late evening, with or without, a motorcycle.
Looks like I’m outside a little longer. Spraying weeds in the front pasture.
Anyone need spiney pigweed, FREE , PICK YOUR OWN!
Lashing the grandson's new canoe on top of the speed boat we are rebuilding. Putting a new tarp over both for the coming winter. I cannot store either of them inside right now.
The speed boat was mine from 1970 and needs a new stern along with new seats and interior work plus carpet. My son owned it for a few years and now, after he helps me rebuild it, the craft will belong to the grandson.
It's a fish and ski. With no windshield or obstructions on the deck, it makes a reasonably good fishing boat. Powered by a 55HP old Chrysler motor it did about 30 MPH. I plan to repower with a 60 HP 4cycle Merc.
One cannot ski behind a sailboat. So perhaps next summer, I can teach the grandkids to ski and maybe getup on them myself.
