What are you doing today?

Another sleepless night, prednisone always does that to me, along with a increased appetite, water retention, and somewhat upset stomach. Looks like I had better get used to the side effects since this is to keep the lining of my eye balls from eroding away and leaving me with ruptured eyeballs and blindness.
I am cooking steaks and pork chops on the grill tonight, steaks for supper and then the pork chops for Monday night.

I am off the prednisone the doctor gave me last week and happy to be off it.

I've had low dose prednisone in the past without the weird side effects. But last week I had 3 straight days of high dose (5 times the highest dose I've ever had in the past) and it took another 2 days before I started to feel normal again and finally a good night of sleep last night.

Good luck with your prednisone.

Dental appointment for one of the kids this morning. Dr appointment for me this afternoon. Legs decided that today is a great day to take a break from walking. So I'm using two arm crutches to get around. I could tell it was going to be a doozie when I needed a walker to get to the kitchen this morning.

Canadian eh!!!

Thank God I have 2 days off to recover.
Warm day.

Warehouse guy was out yesterday and today. I get to do his job.

Place is a mess because every one just dumped their finished work and locked the place up.
Three pallets were done wrong and I get to restack them. :UtOh2:

I'm 72 and the boss. Apparently everyone believes I am superman. :Angry2:

Well, I am.!!!

Killing time today.

Today is cleaning lady day at the house. She comes every other week.

I left the house on the motorcycle at 9:30 and went to Starbucks, my intent was to get a coffee then go to the cigar lounge. Plans changed. Met one of the fencing club guys at a local hamburger stand. Had lunch with him. Back at Starbucks sipping on a black coffee just killing a bit more time before I head home.

Got to ride around a bit and enjoy the rare sunshine. No rain today!!! None forecast for tomorrow either. Probably mow the lawn again tomorrow. But today is wasting time and riding around having some fun. I will be meeting the lovely Mrs_Bob a bit later and we will be riding together a bit this evening. Maybe even go for hot dogs or some other fine dining!

Took a lovely walk over to church, then back home again.

Our customer called about 2:30 asking for a hot shot load of one pallet of material in Springdale Arkansas by 6:00 AM in the morning.

I don't trust any freight hot shooter to get through the flood waters. So I am leaving St Louis tonite to deliver it myself. Gives us kudos and some face time with the client.

And most importantly her processing plant does not go down. :UtOh2:

When it absolutely, positively, has to be there overnight, it sometimes still doesn't get there overnight. So we just do it!
:ThumbsUp:

rugerman · Jun 25, 2019

It’s b been a long time since my last time of getting stuck, area is a bit tender but not so bad.

pirate_girl · Jun 25, 2019

After my jaunt across town, got back here and found that I forgot to turn the crockpot on.
Late dinner tonight. Lol

pirate_girl · Jun 27, 2019

So I walked outside to take a bag of trash to the dumpster out back.
This kid in his late teens to early 20s walks by, dressed in a wool cap, camo print hoodie, cargo shorts, black knee socks and Nike flip flops.

I said, wow son, aren't you warm dressed like that?
It's going to be near 90 degrees again today.

He gives me the hands out to the side attitude stance, bends at the knees and says Yeah, and what of it?

I said, no need to get huffy, I'm old enough to be your Mother, I was making conversation.
He walks away saying something about f'ing people.
Geez! Lol

So yes, another hot, muggy day.
I'm staying inside where it's cool and hipster snowflake free.

:hammer:

Jim_S · Jun 27, 2019

Either too many drugs or not enough drugs . . . :th_lmao:

NorthernRedneck · Jun 28, 2019

Gym this morning then physio. Drove the kids in to school. Last day today. They take the bus in the fall. Yay. It's been a crazy month driving them in every morning then picking them up after school. That's 3 different schools. Next year will be 4 schools but they'll all be bused.

Canadian eh!!!

pirate_girl · Jun 28, 2019

Not working until Monday, so..
Not much.
Staying cool!
It's going to be hotter than heck like this up until the middle of next month.

NorthernRedneck · Jun 28, 2019

We've been working at the old house again this afternoon getting the remaining cabinets from downstairs in preparation for a good cleaning so we can list it. We had a guy in doing painting and some basement bathroom renos for the past two weeks. He finished yesterday. It's almost ready for the market.

Canadian eh!!!

pirate_girl · Jun 28, 2019

Silly me forgot tonight is rib fest down town.
Too late, we already had dinner.
:hammer:

Lol

NorthernRedneck · Jun 29, 2019

Sweating my a$$ off. 30 celcius in the shade. Don't get me wrong, it's a welcome change from -40 but too damned hot. We're at camp for a well deserved break until weds. Then we go to town and take care of a few appointments before coming back out Friday.

Next weekend we haul the camper to town to prepare for our vacation to mount Rushmore leaving the 19th and returning home in August.

Canadian eh!!!

NorthernRedneck · Jun 29, 2019

Since it's hot and there's a breeze, we took the younger kids to the lake to swim.

Canadian eh!!!

pirate_girl · Jun 29, 2019

It's 92 here, Brian.
At least today there is a breeze.

You all are going to have a blast on your vacation in the Black Hills.

I've been cleaning the apartment while Aimee is away, and just made a blueberry clafoutis.

NorthernRedneck · Jun 29, 2019

Thanks. We've both been as teenagers with our parents. It'll be nice getting away from the madness.

Canadian eh!!!

JimVT · Jun 30, 2019

pirate_girl · Jun 30, 2019

Staying cool, keeping it real.
Went to early bird mass to avoid the heat.
Surprised there weren't that many people attending.
Gosh, it's only 80° right now.

:yuk:

Ross 650 · Jun 30, 2019

Howdy folks,
started the day by going about 4 miles to walk around a nice little lake. Saw quite a few turtles and a few birds. Coming home took the woodsy route and saw a peacock, a wild mama hog with about 6 new younguns about a day old. Next checked out a new baby donkey and got closer to the house and 3 more wild hogs. Just a cool morning for a little adventure. By the way the temperature here this morning is 73. Well, hope yall have a goodun!!!!!! :clap:

NorthernRedneck · Jun 30, 2019

Cooled down today slightly. It's 15 celcius which is a welcome change from 32 yesterday. I made an attempt at getting some firewood but the chainsaw isn't running right. So I'm heading back to the city tomorrow for a truck load cut and split.

Canadian eh!!!
