I'm better Z Pack is working for the bronchitis, so I'm starting to back off on the pain meds, tired of being a zombie.   When I get shut of them for 3 days I can drive if need be.

I'm better Z Pack is working for the bronchitis, so I'm starting to back off on the pain meds, tired of being a zombie.   When I get shut of them for 3 days I can drive if need be.

I know the z packs usually help me. I do take one tab a day still. I haven?t done any pain killers outside the hospital. I do on occasion take a Hi octane cough syrup. - it will allows me to sleep better.  My oxygen levels drop pretty fast. Causing other issues. Like blurred vision muscle control. So I don?t drive to far on my own.

My O2 don't drop below 90 and I'd usually 94-96 even exercising in therapy.  The congestion makes it a little hard to breath deep but the O2 stays high.

Actually quit smoking before we knew I was having heart problems, but only smoked about 2 packs a week, mostly when driving by myself or when I got writers block. 

When the hip was bothering me I ran out and didn't feel  like running to the gas station so after about 5 days I decided I didn't need them. 

Got an echocardiogram in a couple weeks and if it shows good I should be in good shape when things get healed. 

Drs say I should be good to go this summer, 3 of my trips I just need to show up with bedding and such because Norton will be there with the wagon and has more gear than me anyway.  The big one will be the Muster and the kids said they'd help load and unload on this end if need be and should be help on the other end.  I think the 2 from Wisconsin would help.  Once loaded and unloaded I should be fine, Gopher Grease may come and if he does well drive his pickup and use him for the heavy work.

Watched the State of the Union, last night. Normally don?t watch them. Can read it the next day. I had said to my wife when it ended. I thought Reagan must had helped write the speech. Mr. Trump was shaking hands as he departed and one of the Senators could be heard saying his speech was very Reaganess. The despicable woman from Commiefornia showed her ass. I still for all that is good in this world don?t know how she continues getting elected. I know there is conservative people in that state. Of course you read on line daily that one says they are moving out. Instead of staying and fixing it.
Jump off my soapbox now.

Fence repair day here, had a kinda bad spot in it, Rowdy wasn't a jumper and was no problem.  Little Brown Dog has other ideas.  Fence is now high enough to stop him, BIL, Niece and her husband did it, I napped part of the time.

They were glad to do it, kinda hard to watch someone doing what you should be doing, was going to put the leftovers away and reaching in the cupboard  at shoulder high trying to find lids and bowls that matched made the dang sternum hurt so Rita's going to do it. :-\

It will get better, not really trying to feel sorry for myself, more pissed that I can't do it.  They tell me that is good because it encourages me to try harder with therapy.

Scared Rita twice, yesterday she was at her therapy, I at mine and some guy didn't eat before he came and went down.  Scared her when they called medical staff to cardio rehab  because of a patient down.

Had my arm around her about 4 am and had one of them falling dreams and jerked hard, woke her up and she had to holler and shake me to get me awake, she said she was scared I'd died on her.

Trying not to scare her today.  She still has a heart rhythm problem that she has an appointment for next week, I'm betting she is going to get a pacemaker soon, not a big deal today.

That is a good price.

We tried the Walmart pick up once. Nothing we ordered came out to the car. It was subsitutuded by what ever was similar. I mean nothing not just one item. All the items. That was early in the stages of them starting the services. We have not tried it again. I think we should. Like the Major said though, you miss the other customers, and hand picking your products. Or things that you might find on sale that you been wanting.

Rain continues.

I think "SHE" use  Neighborhood Market Walmart ...rather than Super Walmart for food stuffs .... I've yet to go but I have gone by , they are set up with drive thru .
I suspect/seems they are better than the huge Supers or SAMs which I've avoided for years.

Publix also has Online Shopping  https://www.publix.com/shop-online

Russ's Market and their big Box Super Saver, local owned local chain, this is what grocery stores should be. 

The old man was often seen in the stores talking to customers and helping, a while back his son and the current CEO carried my groceries to the car.  I asked if they were that short of help and he said no, he liked to do all the jobs to help him remember what goes on.  Got a big smile when I said his dad taught him that.

Weird thing last evening. Around 10 pm that?s 2200 for the official written report. I received a phone call from a unknown caller in my area code 540. I have had the same phone number around 10 years I suspect. It confuses people here when I give them my area code first. Back to the story. I normally don?t pick up unless I am waiting on a return call or recognize the number. I save all contacts so I know. Suzanne and I were watching a show, she said answer that see who would call at this hour.
It was a recorded message. Similar to a a amber alert but done as a phone call not on Emergency freq. the message was pretty much captured in text below. Do you all get these kind of calls? Since that is the first I ever answered i don?t know if it ever occurred before. Our church uses a group message system like this but we know it?s from church.

She had to have the order in before 10.

She called the niece and she's running for us, the oldest daughter called and asked.  Just hate to be a bother.

Went out and started the beast since it's about 50 out.  Took a few turns, but popped off and ran.  I think it was started about Thanksgiving, ain't been out of the driveway since the last of September.

Thought about it, but that reach to put it in  neutral and putting back in gear was enough, that stretch still hurts the sternum.  Could do it in an emergency but why, we have 911 for that.

Got both here, ain't tried either, decided quite a while back there is no reason to go out for burgers or samwhiches.  if they are good they are to expensive and if they are cheap they ain't worth it, just make both at home.  The exception is Rita has one of them POGO card things and one thing on it is Mr Goodsense, buy one 12" get one for free, we ran it out of punches garage saleing this summer.   ;D  Have to wait for the new one.

Haven't tried Culver's I thought it was just Ice Cream see its burgers too

we got the standard BKs & McD's ,,,Wendy's, Red Robin, 5 Guy's , Steak & Shake , Crystal, Hardies/ Carl Jr , Fuddruckers  and Checkers  even Dairy Queen

what we don't have is Whataburger  In & Out and Jack in the Box....

if you can find a burger in Florida ,,,you are living under a rock

Guess I'll try Culver's best not leave them out  :-\

anyone want to venture a guess at  my favorite ?  ;D

Have Culver's here, they're pretty good. Steak & Shake's not bad, but I don't care for their skinny fries. We can make better at home, but when we eat out, it's usually because we're out doing things, and not close to home.

Major2 I would guess 5 guys

Chrystal?s I think filed chapter 11- sort of like white castles. I thought Fuddruckers had also, apparently not.

We have whataburger- they are open 24 hours. Not that I couldn?t wait. It was handy when I would get called into work, late nites.

Not impressed with Red Robin.


Coffee is on... weather rain has slowed to a mist. And it?s cooled off again.

BINGO  .... 5 Guys it is    was Fuddruckers but they closed down and the building is a Pawn Shop now

Ditto on Red Robbin to kiddie orientated , when in Texas I'll do Whatabuger
Wendy's will do in pinch

Chrystal/White Castle is more of crave ...when I was kid we had a Florida base chain call Royal Castle  10 cent burger & 5 cent frosted Birch Beer ....
The Burgers were much the same little square bun square patty grilled to order w/ onions & a pickle chip....you could wolf down 6 in a sitting
and the birch beer (root beer) and frozen glass mug was plesent childhood memory... that Chrystal or White Castle can revive
Saddy I believe you are correct Chrystal may be kaput

M2 I am a big fan of 5 guys- and their peanut oil fried, frys.

Glen I am sure I can make a pretty darn good burger at home. I don?t have to clean up the kitchen at the fore mentioned burger places- nor do I need to go shopping. Let?s don?t forget the curd fries and the shakes.  So now I spent $25 at the store for all the ingredients plus gas.  I?ll take the $8 platter  with a concrete please.

This coming on Lent, here in the heart of Dixie- Giving up meat on Fridays is not a big thing. However all the fast food places that normally don?t carry fish, now do. Usually gone at end of March.

There is very little about living in Ohio that I miss- Friday perch or walleye first frys - perogies and good Hungarian foods.

Just checked, the guys have opened another place, in Gateway Mall, might as well be downtown, they must not want my business.  Last time I went out there was Christmas of 2006 to get Christmas pictures of Lexie and Rowdy.  The place that would do pets closed, ain't nothing there for me now. 

Downtown is full of office people by day and college by night bar hopping, Gateway is full of Yuppies, neither place is desirable. ;)

I can respect that.... I avoid places such as that myself

The 5 Guys here is about 6 miles from the work 20 ...if'n' I want to go I need to take an few minutes early lunch to avoid the noonish rush crowd/traffic.
Otherwise, no worries.

I don't do the fries anymore anywhere in fact I abstain potatoes period.

I think he was too high, or did you mean the rocket?

The rocket but maybe Mad Mike as well.

Thanks for the coffee Slim.
Got one last pack of the good bacon out of freezer yesterday. Going to cook it up maybe some quick waffles. Some peaches or strawberries to go with it.

Good chance of rain again today.

Here is another Darwin Award winner

The National Transportation Safety Board says the driver of a Tesla SUV who died in a Silicon Valley crash was playing a videogame on his smartphone at the time.

I have successfully ridden the short bus to my appointments and back and did not lick the windows.

Right now it beats driving and both bus drivers were friendly.

I have such a trip tomorrow... We?ll probably go eat first. Do any errands that need done while we are there.

The mini bus here is kind of spendy .  Round trip to doctor would be about $30. If I read the county web site correctly.

$16 a month unlimited anywhere in Lincoln, have to set it up about a week before to be sure you get it. 

John came and is doing lawn clean up, Riley made the back look like a dump. ;D

Door dash is bringing Old Chicago Pizza in about an hour.

Maxwell House here and will make a lite breakfast up in a few.  Off to town after chores.

Glen what I read here it is per use on the bus deal.

Weather is roller coasting here - has a few flurries late last evening. Clear this morning but cold. Drier air next couple of days.

No appointments here today, need to get up, been awake for 2 hours, let Riley out and laid back down.  He just wanted cuddled by both of us this morning and it sounded like a good idea.

In case any of you are Hungry- you might want to run to Costco.


A bit pricey but comes with the proper knife.

It pairs well with their $800 wheel of cheese


Omelettes anyone?

Gourmet food does not have to be good to be gourmet, it just has to be scarce and expensive.

A Toyota works as good a BMW just costs less.

The $800 wheel of cheese looks better. M2?s wheel might be more expensive.

Glen Toyota is probably more reliable today they may cost around the same.
