Still not time here, roommate and nurse are making a  lot of noise, rough day in PT, zipper is sore and it makes it hurt when I  breathe.  Nice nurse just brought me 2 more Percocet, we're keeping me kinda heavy on them so I can do better PT and not eating to breathe deep enough because of hurting is slowing me down just a bit.

Not sure when I fell asleep was watching Sherlock Holmes. I think it was over when Suzanne turned off the light.
Dogs did not whine too much must not have been many fireworks.

We ran everyday unless it was a 100 or above (in combat boots) used M16 at range- then later at azr (combat) along with others. Summer71 and agin in late 71.

Canteens not camel paks or bottle water
Boots not running or cross trainers or the modern boots - that are a better boot.
exercised on a asphalt pad.
Oh yeah I miss that.... of course I miss diarrhea too.

Rain continues...much needed
Local flooding.


Had to dispatch a sickly looking TrashPanda last night. We had seen it early in the morning near the road. He made its way to the old barn by dark. Our dog pointed him out near the feed room. He was sad looking health wise. I did what was needed. We feel safer now.
In doing this I found my Ruger MkIII had some feeding issues. Not sure if it was the magazine or if I was limp wristing . Rain slows I will try it and figure it out.

We had canteens that were WW2 leftovers,Most were Date marked in the early 40's
Boots not running or cross trainers or the modern boots - that are a better boot
We ran in either Combat boots or the "chukka" boots depending on what day it was.
exercised on a asphalt pad.
Same here, ours was under the barracks wings so no matter the weather, we did PT every morning.
Oh yeah I miss that.... of course I miss diarrhea too.

Army Basic at Ft Leonard Wood, we ran daily in combat boots to. Though they did issue us some really awful "Athletic Shoes". They had really flimsy soles, but with cleats as big as sewing thimbles. And you could feel those huge things with every step. I don't remember ever using them for anything.

I took my basic at Fort Leonard Wood in 1959. Remember going to the rifle range with a M-1 Garand and no eye or ear protection. We ran in combat boots. As long as you kept your mouth shut and did what they told you to do, basic training was not a problem.

Got back from PT, big improvement even since yesterday.

Tuesday is the plan, Gopher Grease will bring Riley home, said he was going to wash and wax him first.  They said they hate to give him up but he needs to get back with us.

Ain't got all the details worked out but Lexie is going to stay with us till she's out of school most likely, at 14 what she wants along that line within reason is allowed,  not sure if her dad is going to fight it but mom ain't,  my oldest is owned some favors from a legal aid group  she said she'd call in if needed.

Hadn't planned on raising a teenager again but can't refuse,  ex wife has a daughter about the same age and they are including Lexie in things, ex mother in law is also.

Having a cup, ain't done many of them with water restrictions.

I'm buying this round, tonic water all around.😳

Had the hiccups and had to do the tonic water to stop them, restricted liquid  so that is my liquid till later.

Will have to decide if I want coffee later, or hot tea, a friend sent me 2 boxes of Twillings Lap Sang Souchsong.

ONE MORE DRY DAY: We will enjoy one more rain-free day across Alabama? look for a party sunny sky today with a high in the mid 60s. Clouds will thicken tonight as moist air surges northward from the Gulf of Mexico.

TOMORROW: The day will be mostly cloudy and mild; the high will be in the 68-72 degree range. Showers will likely begin by afternoon, with rain becoming more widespread Friday night. A few thunderstorms are possible, but the severe weather threat will be well to the west of Alabama, over parts of East Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana.



Trying to prune a couple little Apple Trees at the point wear if they don?t blossom this year - I will hook a chain around them. I planted them 5 years ago never a blossom.

Daughter left for a bit, to run some of hers and ours errands, yes I can get the cabbage out and put dressing on it to make a salad, it's already chopped.  She'll be back later and make supper. ;D

Just not used to this having others do stuff for me, lamp came unplugged last night and I was going to help move the bed and Lexie yelled at me, I said damn it dummy before I did, still got lectured.   Just check BP and it was 109/59 and HR of 63 so I get a gold star for the day.   Gonna go take pain meds, I skipped the 8 am one with the percocet, the other two did fine till now and been up doing things so I hurt when I breath too deep so I'm supposed to take them then, if I don't I breath too shallow and the O2 goes down.   They said as fast as I'm progressing should be off the pain meds in a couple weeks but then they don't want me to just stop.

This sure has the charm of the whole thing running thin. ::)

We're back, went on an adventure, dropped Rita off at church at her crap (craft) thing, she took her knitting.  Lexie, the Warden and me went to my mom's for an hour or so and then did some shopping, stayed in the car at Dollar Tree, went in Petco and bought Riley a new collar, walked it, no mart cart.

Went to Hy Vee and got some groceries, walked it also, went in with Lexie at the church and got Rita. 

Came home, the warden dug in the refrigerator and got some taco meat out and heated it and I had some tacos.  Took pain meds because it was time both as far as schedule and pain level.  Had no shortness of breath at a slow old man pace, will work on picking that up.

BP when I got up at 8 was 105 over 59, and 63 for rate.  Made it from about midnight to almost 8 with out waking up, kept liquid to 1 1/2 -liter yesterday with1-2 being ideal so didnt need the plumbing check.  Dried and fresh fruit are keeping things ok, pain meds can raise heck with that also.

Laying down, may nap in a bit, pretty happy with with what I did, start cardio in a week or so I think, warden has the schedule, I just get dressed and go when told.🙄

The warden is running some more errands, will be back in about an hour and hget Lexie and drop her off at a movie, then she's staying on that side of town an doing some stuff at her house and visit her kitties, then both will be back after the movie, so Rita and I will have about 4 hours to ourselves not that we will do anything.😇

Guess that is a good update, Little Brown Dog was glad to see us, first time he's been left by himself in a little over a month, not saying he's spoiled, but he cried a bit when we got home.

Damn, fires out, coffee is cold, he the kid is doing good.  Up checking the plumbing and getting some pain meds.  Cut it way down, but the morning and early afternoon, by late afternoon and evening I get sore.  Nice to get a good sleep, having a minor other problem people have after surgery and on pain meds.  May not be allowed to shop at the pharmacy at the Russ's Market on 66th street no more, the one we usually go to would have never been caught off guard with me.

Old joke,  couldn't find what I needed, they changed the package over the 12 years since I needed them, went and asked the lady, she came and found them for me.  Couldn't help myself, looked over the package and told her those didn't ever work.  Lady looked confused and I told her I might as well shove them up my butt for all the good they did.😂🙄😳

Was going to go with the warden shopping today, was informed when she got back from running Lexie to school that it was 5F out there so I was staying home.  ::)

Probably a good idea, but means I'm stuck here another day, at least if I don't get out before I got an appointment on Tuesday.   Trying to back off on pain meds, had to refill them, they may have cracked or strained some ribs, not uncommon.   Using less meds but if I don't take enough it hurts to breather in the ribs?muscles and then BP/Heart rate goes up.  Most times running under 120/70 and rate under 60.   But that's resting also.

It looks like I'm going to live and should be back to normal.  I love it, been reporting in my FB cooking groups and I got a lot of people telling me I need to get well because I haven't taught them everything I know yet.

Went into this with the thought if I couldn't come completely back I'd pass on most of the gear and just show up places and help with others and continue to teach.

Went to bed at 9, up checking the plumbing and taking some of the good stuff.  Should sleep through the night, incision really  don't hurt but muscles or ribs on the right side do and it makes it hard to breath full deep, then rate and PB goes up.  Been running 125-130 over 60-75 and a rate of 60-90.  Not bad, but never had high BP or cholesterol problems, reason this sneaked up.

Looks from the radar like we might get another dusting, but looks like we dodged the bullet on this one.

Went to grocery store with The Warden and Lexie, stocked up on some things, walked the whole store.  The Warden made cheese burgers which were good, wouldn't let me have any ice cream, she is almost as bad as having a fancy nutritionist around and is right. 

The new GP wants me to keep monitoring the diabetes but not to do anything but diet for 2 months. 

Daughter went to her house to do some homework on her desk top, something wasn't working out on the lap top.

Lexie is doing dishes, I've been giving her some cash for helping and buying her stuff she wants at the store.

Not for public broadcast but it's looking like we will likely get custody of her soon, CPS is involved I guess through school.  Basically Lexie and The Warden are doing it.

Nice thing about being on restricted fluid and a morning water pill is I don't wake up in the night to check the plumbing, I'm checking the kitchen for healthy snacks. ::) ;D

Warden found me some burro bananas yesterday, just consumed the last of them.  Non traditional ones are starting to show up here but it's hit and miss. these have a slight lemony taste also besides nanner taste and the little red finger ones have a slight raspberry taste also.  Sure has ruined me for those Cavendish type that make up 99.9% of bananas sold.

Still hungry, took a good nap after cardio rehab, took a small one after supper.   Did everything good in rehab except the treadmill, got a little dizzy on it, they said that can be common at first and asked me if I ever had that problem before.  Kinda got a blank look when I told them I didn't know, never been on one before. ;) 

Guess I'll look and think about healthy, most stuff here is, but actually has been pretty well that way, diet people are amazed how healthy I do eat with out training, guess more modern people need trained.   They let me have an Eskimo Pie earlier as a reward for being good, the warden went home for the night, but had told Lexie I could have one and only one.    No mention about what I had to do for one.   Last night I ate something called quinoa, some plant in the spinach family that the Incas grew and modern Yuppie types eat, not really that bad, will not turn down.

No on the meat, I have to watch the carbs and sugar till we get the diabetes under control, we'er finally going to get to that.

Secret to kale is to treat it like it's smooth leafed brother, it ain't nothing but collards with a wrinkly leaf, boil it with some hog jowls and a little vinegar and hot sauce it's the same or make kim chee out of it.   

The other I always wanted to try and daughters eat it a lot because of celics.

You just insulted collards and turnip greens. Kale is just a millennial thing. Put in your garden to keep bugs away.

Not botanically, if you fixed either of them like they do kale it would be nasty also.

Continue to insult them with this  ;D kale is very bitter there is nothing short of nuclear fallout that could change it. Deep fry and munch on it if you wish. But don?t compare it to collards or turnip/mustard  greens. These are things you guys at the wagon know nothing about from experience. It is one of the few things the Yankees didn?t steal when they marched thru the south with their matches.

Still up, can't sleep so I'm going through pictures.   Not sure where I'm at but started with about 30 gigs, much duplication, but still have more to upload and sort, was good and backed stuff up, but much of it on disc.

I think Mosby stole


Morning coffee is up. Got cold last night. Not the temperature.  I did could get warm, had a quilt and 2 blankets on.


Glen since I did not carry a phone back in the day, I have no proof of it. However we grazed cattle on the same land that Mosby?s tomb and family plot is on. Occasionally the gate would get left open.  Clean up sometimes was- well you know what cattle do best.

Delmonico, I know what you mean about the bananas, every time I have been to the Philippines, I'm amazed at just how much better the locally grown ones are. Not just that they're fresh, but a different variety. Never saw any like what is sold here in the States. They're short, not so much curved, and best for eating when they start to get lots of brown spots.

Well that was interesting. I now know more about Bananas than the produce guy at our local store. I have seen some different varieties in the store. Never known how to tell in what stage of ripeness they are. I have bought plantains and double fried them. They are pretty good. In Thailand I remember the little short banana but couldn?t tell you what variety they were.

So I guess I could slice one up on my cereal this morning.


A rain shower passed thru at daybreak. Think a few more are in store.

Ya?ll stay safe and dry.

Thank you Sir,
 I am the Last of the Mohicans as it were

My Sister was 8 years my senior only sibling and had been in a nursing home .  She contracted  Pneumonia on the 6th and was sent to the Hospital.
She had chosen a Gradian rather that her son as the  Power attorney to administrator her affairs.
Because of this the Gradian had contacted the her son as first contact.

Snowed here, no idea how much, I didn't bother looking, heck I don't have to scoop it.

Oldest daughter really made me feel good yesterday, went to appointment and the cold air hit me hard so when we got in she had me sit in one of those wheel chair things.  We got to the elevator and like always with one of these she pushed me in facing to corner.  As people got on I joked about being put in the corner, and then I  said she was really very good to her Dad, she then said that if people are good to their kids, the kids should help them in their old age.

Did your visit last trip to hospital did they insert anything in your ribs?

I know from where they inserted the tubes in my rib cage was painful.  It?s been well over a year and still have flair ups of pain there.

If the surgeon didn?t cut you get a good X-ray.

I?ll keep you and Rita in my prayers.
