What are you doing today, II

Bob - Can you tell us about the pain? I have something wrong in my shoulder. X-ray shows no bone damage or arthritis. My arm can and does go numb. I can lift my arm straight to the front or rear but can't really lift it straight out to the side without severe pain. Pinched nerve?
BC. If you cannot lift your arm to the side you could have what’s called “frozen shoulder.” I had it twice years ago. Once in each arm. Takes a month or two to soften but you have to keep forcing movement. Look it up.

I would think numbness has somthing to do with nerves, had a friend with a bulging disc in his neck, that would happen to him.
 
My ragweed allergies are really screwing up my life the last few days. Voice is horse from coughing. Eyes are itching non-stop, I'm taking 24hour Claritin ever 12 hours and boosting that with either Benadryl or DayQuil. Blowing my nose constantly. Can't get a good nights sleep. The house is sealed up and I'm locked inside it. Only going out into the pollen to do things that are absolutely necessary.

Got up at 5:45am to drive to Purdue. Picked up some fencers at the fencing club. Drove 1/2 way to Purdue when the club President called me and told me that the practice is cancelled. I had arranged for 3 carloads of fencers to attend this practice. So I texted the other cars to stop. We were 45 minutes into our 90 commute.

Apparently one of the officers, at 3am, sent out a group message on their Discord to the team that practice was cancelled. He did not let the other officers know.
 
Got all the generators running yesterday... finally. Damn ethanol fuel.
Went to the pharmacy to get some prescriptions. Got a shingles shot while there. Got fresh gas, refilled the generators with fresh fuel plus SeaFoam.
May try to dig out a 55-gallon drum of straight ethanol/alcohol out of a back building. It's a 2-3 man job but I may give it a shot.
Oh, had to go to our other house as I was told the basement lights weren't working. It's a 3-way circuit but has a motion detector on one side. Just flicked the other switch back to the on position and all is well.
 
Still trying to wrap my head around a predicament my second oldest son got himself into. He's had a gf for a year now (he claims) that we've never met. He swore she was local.

A few weeks ago he announced that he is moving out into an apartment with her. Ok...little strange as she has never met us. A couple weeks ago He's in a panic as he was applying for a passport. He claimed that he thought he needed it to fly to Toronto for a few days with his buddies (who we've never met either). I dropped him off on Tuesday at the airport. He texted us to know he arrived and nothing else. Total silence. He was to return Thursday. Silence. We called the police to report him missing. We called his employer to see if they heard anything from him. He had emailed to call in to work.

He finally showed up at our place with a uhaul full of furniture. And finally came clean that his gf was actually a girl he met online from Nebraska. He flew down and moved her up here. They got to the border where she was turned around as she didn't have proper documentation to cross. Ugh. What a mess. Now, there's a uhaul full of furniture in our driveway. She's in a hotel in Duluth Minnesota. And my son is driving back and forth to see her. I'm at a loss....no words......

One of many parental nightmares that we have no idea will slap us upside the head when we get hit. Sorry you are going through this.

Yah. It kinda blindsided us both. We were in shock for a couple days. We haven't even seen him yet. It will be an interesting conversation when he gets home from work today.
 
Good luck with the talk!


I’m cleaning out stuff I don’t use anymore. Just sold 2 little 22lr rifles and about 5000 rounds of ammo. It’s a start.

Suffering from high pollen count with itchy eyes, runny nose and a cough. Claritin & Zyrtec cocktail seems to have cleared up most of it.

What the hell Bob!
Don't use? You and Kobe could have a great time with (2) 22lr rifles and 5K rounds. I know my son and I would have a great time!
 
Trying to mow the lawn right now but even at 3PM, still lots of dew in shaded areas which makes it hard to mow and mulch leaves.
Otherwise, more shop cleaning and winter prep.

Didn’t say I got rid of everything!!!

Just some surplus.

You clearly don’t know how much I have stored away!
