What are you doing today, II

My School buss run is almost 60 miles one way
This morning's bus run the 2nd and 3 stops no kids I'm on time at their stops but with no pickups i gain time as ago
So I get to some of the later stops no one out (their supposed to be out there 10 -15 minuet's before stop time) there gaining more time now.
I get to highschool about 20 minuets early missing lots of kids. ironically my 2 big stops I'm early for with 6-8 kids each are all there its the ones that have 1-2 that miss the boat.
I get back to terminal 6 or 7 parents call and say bus was "early" and I missed their kids my supervisor bless her says what time were the kids out there then says to them per school policy their supposed to be at stop 15 minuet's before the scheduled time, just in case bus is early. and are to stay 15 minutes after time 2 got snotty with her. So she pulls the videos for the last last 2 weeks and I'm hitting my stop times within 2 minuets and she notes she see's kids running to the buss to make it normally. Causing a mass email / texts go's out to my run's parents with the schedule and rules on being there early, ready to get on the bus not sitting in moms car till I stop holding traffic up.
Run is all on a 2 lane windy road that takes me about 75 minuets to get up to a place i can turn around at above the first stop at the top of the mountain and run takes longer with the stops on the way back to school.

Tomorrow will be fun ride I'm for sure, I'm taking a extra cup of coffee.
 
Apple butter originated in Germany and that area in the Middle Ages by monks. My German grandparents made apple butter every fall when I was a little kid. I remember watching closely as they put each ingredient into the large copper kettle. Then asked when they were going to add the butter. Yes, they never let me live it down. :)
 
Not sure what I am doing today. No real plans.

Got home from Purdue about 12:20pm and I was really tired. Let the dogs out, blah blah, was asleep by 1am. Woke up a bit after 7am to a cold house. I was smart enough to close the windows, but maybe should have switched on the furnace? Today will top out just above 60(F) degrees. Closed windows and open drapes will warm the house enough that there won't be a need for the furnace tonight. But considering we were in the mid-80s on Sunday and Monday this is a big temp drop.

I'd like to pre-build the major components for another of the steel planters, but I'd like the temps to rise a few more degrees before I go outside to do that. It's 59(F) now, warmer in the sun, but I'll let the sun warm things up a bit before I go out to sit on the ground and bolt the steel panels together.

There is fencing tonight. Sometimes I go on Wednesday, sometime I skip Wednesday. So we will see. I'll probably go.

So very likely a lazy day, maybe building a planter in the sun, maybe brushing Mitty, who is shedding clumps of hair. Maybe just sitting in the La Z Boy and drinking tea with honey & lemon to soothe my constant sore throat (2+ weeks) and lost voice.

One of the guys in my shooting group wants some of my 45acp. Possibly 2000 rounds. But he is out of town. Assuming he takes it, I will have cleared out over 14,000 excess rounds of ammo. Don't worry fellas, I'm just making a dent.
 
Go figure. 3 days ago it was HOT shorts weather. Woke up this morning to a cold house and a thick layer of frost covering everything outside. Below freezing. Nonetheless I went out hunting this morning. Worked on the sxs a bit when I got back. Now just resting up before cooking supper. Apparently we're going out to a birthday party later for someone. I dunno. I just do as I'm told.

Temperature dropped here too, but only into the 60’s f
 
Tucker's Throne is complete!!! :clap:

And since Tucker is still a bit disassembled, I even included a special stamp... just to satisfy my Obsessive Compulsive Cementitious Hieroglyphic Graphomania. :tongue:

..... (That's the side of my drive cog... but you probably figured that out). 🤓

My throat hurts.

For 3 weeks. Improves one day, worse the next. Could be from too much talking at fencing, which is usually high volume to be heard above the noise of the fencing room, or when I conduct a class and I need everyone to hear me. The inter-webs say mouth breathing at night, which I do, and my C-PAP's humidifier broke so I am mouth breathing dry air.

Going into the doctor tomorrow. My first ever use of "medicare" so wish me luck. As of Oct 1 I am on Medicare and off of private insurance. This could be fun?

I did end up brushing Mitty today. The dog is 1/2 the size he was before I brushed him, but we won't have masses of fur floating around the house anymore. Also built the major components of another steel raised bed planter. I should have done 2 or 3 but I got lazy. And honestly it was just a little too cool to be outside working with the sore throat.
 
In my 'teens, I used nasal spray quite frequently. That is, ... until it appeared to lead to a sinus infection every time I used it. I haven't used nasal spray for thirty+ years..... until this spring. This spring/summer has been so bad I really had no choice but to give it another try. Thankfully..... it's been successful, and no sinus infections. I've had to "shoot up" almost every night over the last four/six weeks at bedtime so I can breathe until morning.

......... and YOU GUYS just prove my point.

Man................. it's been SOOOooo BAD, this year.

Just another reason to pray for snow.

(MY throat hurts/burns, too).

I’m heading down the Medicare path myself, just applying for it and SS, I have 3 months of banked private insurance to carry me through.
 
Other than finding out that I actually have an infection and needed to get meds, today's visit to the immediate care, while using my newly printed Medicare card, was flawless. Reception knew exactly how to handle the changeover.

They even sent my Medicare info to Walgreens so when I went to pick up the meds there was no charge.

So now I'm officially old. And officially sick. (and still crabby, sore and sarcastic too, but none of that is news)

But I get "free" stuff that you young'uns pay for instead of me paying for them.
