That’s ridiculous! Just like the epipen deal.

 

Out of curiosity how long will that last?

About three weeks.  Depends on my carb intake and activity level.

That's really bad. Here in the UK we have a universal health service where pretty much all medicine is free at the point of use. Most people have to pay a nominal amount for a prescription, but the drugs are essentially free. Sure we pay for the service in our taxes, but buying collectively makes the costs far less onerous than under your system. Being a self employed plumber, I can't imagine what my health insurance costs would be Stateside. Having a chronic illness like John would be very limiting.

Oops! One of the lakes next door to me! 

 

My noisy little bug eating buddies are back. 

 

In my element.

The first Whopper Plopper? No, it's one of my old lures, the C.C. Roberts Mudpuppy, 1930s.

Grandkids posing for their photos.

 

Had a big fight right after this.

 

Things were great for about 5 minutes.

 

Granddaughter starts the fights but grandson gets the blame.

 

But they do clean up nice.

Got line?

 

Home alone tonight then John?

I like your ‘bookends’ used to keep your spools from rolling away. ?

I was at a conference for work last week in Buffalo No trip to Buffalo NY would be complete however without having this local delicacy.

 

Beef on Weck. roast beef on a kummelweck roll (roll topped with caraway seeds and kosher salt) side of horseradish and au jus

 

Glass of Crown and Coke to wash it down.

 

 

 

Beef on Weck is good.  All we got is Garbage Plates, and white hots.

Back when I was in the tech field coding apps and developing web platforms for a publishing company the company decided to add aerial photography to its services and since I was the I got to fly the drone and shoot photos and video. It was fun to an extent, but it was also a pain because people were always complaining about spying. Even with the proper FAA credentials the town clamped down on use of drones and it basically shut down our aerial services.

 

The photo below is of Shelter Cover Harbor on Hilton Head Island, SC. But what's cool about this photos is that it's actually 12 separate photos that I took with the drone and stitched together to make this one picture. This photo is greatly reduced in size and quality from the original.

 

 

14 years goes by fast.  I was almost dead when I took this self portrait.  I couldn't feel my legs, and I went partially blind.  I was down to 112 lbs. despite eating all the time, and constantly hungry/thirsty.  Turns out, I had late onset Type 1 diabetes mellitus.

There's been an explosion of orioles in our area it seems.

They constantly chase off the hummingbirds from the feeders here. Have some kind of little bird make a nest next to one of the outside cameras has 5 babys in the nest I want to try and get a picture of.

Our neighbor gave my wife an Oriole feeder a few days ago and she’s gone through almost a half jar of grape jelly! Eating all that sugar pretty soon they’ll be too big to fly. 

It was way too wet to work outside today, so I went shopping. Managed to find a new boat puller that I pretty much got at cost. Hopefully it’s drier tomorrow so I can get back to work to pay for it. 

Loves to carry her bone around like a cigar.

I took my boys to a Touch-a-Truck in town last weekend so momma could have some quiet time. It was a really nice day out, I think Lake probably could have taken a nap in the resting spot he found while he was eating his sucker.

My brother drives OTR and participates in something similar every year. He also does a "trucker buddy" program with the school districts. Kind of a pen pal deal where the kids write letters and do a Q&A. It helps break up the monotony of being on the road.
