when it rains it pours, dad is now in the hospital as well... Took him to ER on Sunday, wasn't feeling good and very weak. Ended up admitting him to the hospital and pulled 1.5 liters of fluid off his lung Monday, another 650ml today. He tested positive for covid as well, but seems to be...

Been hotter than a 3 dollar bill here in God's country for the last few weeks. Do a little, then go in and cool down, dry off and guzzle more water. Just had my buddy out that does HVAC and started out as a plumber and he got the new pump put into my aerobic system so I can finally stop...

Talked to the propane company yesterday while at the Tulsa office and they are delivering next weds. Ran to the VA dentist after lunch and they took new molds for the permament partial, have to go back in a month for another fitment. Also ran to the main clinic and got my computer glasses...

Been really busy the last few weeks and hot as hell. We've been troubleshooting issues with Dad's AC at his house and we've found and fixed air leaks in his duct work. Found one of his metal trunk lines was leaking really bad at the end where it wasn't sealed we fixed that as well and some...

Worked on the trench last week and got it completed to the house and the line in the ground. Still need to finish filling it up but was put on hold when I couldn't get a 3/4" brass union in town so had to order it. So I can finish getting the line hooked up to the house and move forward now...

It's shingles, the meds are working and it's clearing up. Was painful for a few days and the wife freaked the hell out Saturday night when she looked at it as I'd been in Jeans last 2 days sweating my *** off outside. It's clearing up pretty good now and should be cleared up fully in the next...

Friday, stopped by urgent care on my way to lowes. Thought it was a spider bite on the back of my leg. They say it's a mild case of shingles. Interesting, guess the shingles shot doesn't prevent it. Wife isn't convinced it shingles. Its looked pretty bad after 2 days outside in the heat and...

Ended up getting a big storm through Sat evening with high winds and lots of rain, so the yards boggy again and the trench is full of water... Anyway, I had what I thought were two swarms on 2 different branches right next to each other, but it turned out it was just one swarm with a ton of...

Yeah, it worked very well and on par with the ones I've rented before on the work I've done. The anti vibration is pretty nice too. I used both the jack hammer and my hammer drill with a chisel bit to clean up sides of sharp points and the last little bit of working broken rock loose.

I can believe that, one thing about where I live, is I have space... the final frontier. I'm one worn out unit this evening. Been working on digging thru 8+" of rock for about 20 feet. Glad i bought the jack hammer yesterday. When I put the original one it, I rented a walk behind trenches...

Ran to the big city this afternoon and spent a grand at harbor freight. Never thought I'd ever spend that much there at once. So what did I buy? A jack hammer, 3 bits for it. A cart for it. 2 boxes of 9 mil gloves, 3 rock type bits for my hammer drill and a very long mixer paddle and 6 12' long...

It's half assed cool out at only 72 degrees when I started on the hives, it's 82 now, but hella amount of humiditiddies. The little rain shower last night dropped the temp from the 90s down. So I did a quick go through on all 22 hives and was still soaked in sweat, I've already soaked through...

Didn't get a lot done yesterday due to a storm rolling through, but I was able to drag my little stihl tiller out and chopped a lot of the grass and roots up and used a rake to get them out. The remaining grass, I shot with grass/weed killer. Started planning out running the lines out to...

Was a bit warm out yesterday, hit 91 with a 103 heat index. I sweated a little bit while out and changing my flagging of the back lean too post positions out to 20'. I was looking at pouring peirs and embedding a post mount into the concrete. I was trying to find the imbedded mount that I...

Yesterday, built the 4'x20' 2x4 form for the 1000 gallon propane tank we will be putting in here at the farm, replacing the old 500 gallon one I borrowed from my brother 15 years ago. I'm upping to 1k because I'll be adding a generator for the house as well and need the added capacity in the...
