I would be inclined to ask what you are paying the doctors for? ... other than the painkillers I may go to the Dr to have him take a look at my wound. It looks "OK" ... to me. I'd like a Dr to look at it, though

yowsa!!! 6mm is 1/4in. They gonna zap it and wait for the shards to clear? ------------------------------ I finished the job I started Thursday. I cut my leg the rest of the way off ... nah nah Turned the compost [that I was hauling] in. I'm OK with clean dirt. The ground is almost too wet to turn... What's the old ax? --- too thick to drink and too wet to plow

I clean my pipes using hot water and hydraulic pressure. A piece of pliable rubber tubing to the faucet ... maybe that will work ... or not Grounds can get in by spillage into the reservoir and eventually passed the filter. I see astuff collecting on the "spray head". Maybe it get drawn back in? Me and 5 gallon buckets of stuff. back when I was a kid, 5 gallons of mortar dragged me across/down expanded metal. Not too long ago, I was hauling roof coating up a ladder and I cut myself on the very safety device that was to prevent such things. Thursday, I had 2] 5 gallon buckets of compost. Set one down and I shifted to balance ... right into a piece of metal. 3 inch cut. I should have gone to the clinic for some stitches ... they don't take walk-ins ... I think they might have made an exception for a trail of blood. Didn't have time for all that. Cleaned and dressed it myself, then drove to Sasabe. The clinic was closed when we got home ... It's gonna leave a scar. Meh

I have a Cuisinart machine, also. This is the 2nd one. First one I got at a resale [or maybe it was the dump lol]... I wonder about the clean me light. Is it set to come on after a number of cycles or ???? Mine's blinking at me. I need to get some vinegar. In the meanwhile ... it still makes coffee. I take yours has cut you off? I've been sipping this Pendleton Whisky for a while now. It is smooth. But when does smooth move into blah? I have a little Woodford Reserve, still... it was some zip, aside from 5% more alcohol I'm going to hell ... two on-topic comments in one post

Oh .... Thursday afternoon I stopped for another motorcycle that got dropped. This one didn't fair as well as the first. Disintegrated trunk and fairing. On my way back ... 2 motorcycles and a pickup truck ... with the crashed one in the back. It was dumped on a straight stretch... Either going too fast and/or mobile obstacles... cows and deer are grazing the shoulders where the dead weeds have been mowed and new growth poking up. The speed limit is 35mph and it's easy to go faster than is safe... winding road with plenty of blind turns. A fun road w/o the cattle and deer.

nope ... Phoenix and north

like you needed an excuse to go through your vinyl

Whew ... survived that winter weather. Sunny and warm is agreeable with me. They thought we might get a little rain next week ... took it off the forecast. Replaced with 75 - 80`. I can suffer that. Oops ... lit the wrong cigarette. Long story short. I am having to use non-cigarette papers for tobacco., Not as bad as it could be. I was expecting tobacco. Back from my morning drive. Having some coffee and a smoke. Waiting for it to warm up before I venture out. /// so, I'm watching The Clearwater softball tournament. Some fun stuff. Just saw a wild pitch with bases loaded result in a rundown of the 2nd base runner and no score. LOL Was noticing that it is javelina season. How do I know this? I saw a sign directing contestants/combatants to a women's javelina hunting camp.... Which brought up some questions about what women do in such a situation. Do they behave like men and sit around the fire, drink beer and tell stories??? and about what

it's pretty seasonable here. Mid 60's, sunny. No complaints

I did watch the game... the key play was the blocked PAT [I'm sure this has been discussed at length elsewhere] if not for that ... 49ers win bring on the NCAA

my bad ... it is Free the Peach c/p A throng of thongs showed up to support the "Free the Peach" movement in Australia this morning to "peachfully" protest a ban on wearing thongs off the beach.

skimming thru the yahoo "news" ... in Australia, there is a Save the Peach movement. Someone was offended by g-string bathing suits and trying to make them illegal. Save the Peach is the pushback ------------------------------- I see kia is advertising a digital grill ... so you can pesonalize I can see all kinds of fun coming from this. From ads to looking like a mack truck.... and then come the hackers LOL

something we never thought about 20 years ago... ------------------------------------------ wow ... these on-line sports betting sites are buying a ton of air time. ------------------------------------------ Yeah, I've been watching tv today. Not a day fit to be out. I think it has done everything but be warm. We were expecting some weather. It snowed at 8AM. A couple inches. Went back to bed. Got up ... it was gone and the sun was out. A wind came up and ... it snowed again. I don't think it has been much over 40`F. it will fair up next week. The gem show is over tomorrow. LOL Not to get too comfortable. The Tucson Rodeo is coming the end of the month ... and then the golf tournament. Plenty of opportunity for Murphy.

Our roads aren't good enough to drive those speeds. I did a cross country road trip [Tucson to Chicago -sorta] a few years ago ... about 4000 miles. The roads weren't in good shape

the one, and only time I drove Atlanta.... AM rush. Raining. Yeah, they were doing 85mph.... and I was glad I was driving a Mustang GT. I don't know how fast I was going, to get the lane I needed ...I was kinda busy ... Never again. Those people are crazy

our interstates are 75mph outside cities... and they [generally] give 10 mph over before creative driving awards get issued.

I-10 between Tucson and Phoenix is kinda like that. 75mph is the speed limit, but, seeing folks driving 100mph+ isn't uncommon the roads I drive... 20 mph turns. Winding roads. There is a stretch of state highway. That road is straight ... but, you have to dodge potholes. 65 is too fast for it

very tactful .... ------------------------ I drive with a light foot. According to the computer in the car ... average speed 32mph fuel mileage 51mpg+ that's putting down these country roads at 35 -55mph The car doesn't stop rolling and I hardly use the brakes. Oh... the other, on my way to pick up the wife from work, I noticed a motorcycle parked beside the road, on a bad turn. Looked closer ... there was another motorcycle in the brush. So, I stop to see if I can help. I wasn't really dressed for bucking brush, but, I went into the catclaw. Of course, it HAD to be a Harley. It was laying on the shifter and to stand it up, meant leaning it deeper into the brush. The riders made me feel young .... I haven't looked in the mirror lately, but, they gave me the impression of pushing 80. Got him up and going with nothing more than a bruised ego.

we gonna be eatin' beef. Boy got his semi-annual side of beef. Ir went to a butcher this time. Hung for 2 weeks .... Packaged. Boy had them make some jerky. Converted 30lbs to it. I didn't know places did that. It is good stuff

a sip is my daily. At 1 oz per week average, sip is about all I get per day.

...on its way here. Sposed to rain tonight and tomorrow. And a significant drop in temps. yeah ... I'm still alive. Just been running ... I did fall off the edge of the world, about 25years ago, when I moved out here LOL

... not to mention, they were charging admission. If I had walked over, I wouldn't have known this ... It rubbed me the wrong way, sorta. Like changing the animals to go to the zoo. .... I kinda figure that I'm one of the people folks are coming to see ...LOL

I drove by "the festival" ... looked like a bunch of vendors. ..... the store was well stocked with fresh beans.... and I went home

Mornin' all I guess I'm gonna make a public appearance. Purely coincidental ... but, ya know how that happens. "Arivaca Days" is upon us. People come from around, to see us being normal.... and it just happens that I am out of coffee beans. So, I need to go to the store....

That's no fun .. I drank a weeks worth of whiskey last night. No hangover. let's do the math. I have a nip or two almost every day ... I consume about 2] 750ml bottles a year. That's approximately 50 oz per year.... about an ounce a week. LOL
