tried hard to let it just slip past....figured IF I ignored it...it would just pass me by....

 

Knee still bad, 7 more weeks until a follow-up, to see WHAT they will do to FIX it....all the while, the knee is getting worse...

 

So, what you all are planning to do this week, once Monday gets out of the way?

Making progress on the Datacenter software.  Still a long haul ahead to get them completed in the US, Canada, and South America. 

 

Ellie May Ivy was put to sleep earlier today due to age related illness.  She was with us for 14 years.

Sorry for your loss. We know how devastating the loss of a fur child can be.

So that's what's going on , it's Monday.  

Today, 9/14, is Phyl's birthday. Her 73rd. We'll go out for Sushi and Sashimi for lunch. No cake and ice cream. Low key observance. But for fun, after lunch, we'll head over to HD to return some irrigation supplies and pick up some more.All that celebration will likely require some R&R, i.e. a nap. That will about shoot this Tuesday for us old folks. 

 

No idea what Sashimi is, but I know sushi will never touch my lips, regardless I wish here a happy BDAY! Now she's as old as I am.  Yesterday for us was a trip to the podiatrist. As if Marie didn't have enough going on with her stomach polyp, now she's growing a bone spur on her big toe.....more surgery, maybe. Covid may interfere with the elective stuff (again).

That's a BIG 10-4.  Where I come from we call that bait.

Steve, thanks for getting a Monday topic up, I completely missed it myself, got called out to mom board and care facility this morning, called into work sick to be there. For now all is well and stabilized, we are in a position now that we are working on getting her home with a 24/7 caregiver, she'll be so happy to be in her own home, we are excited for her.

 

As far as woodworking goes I have projects backed up in my shop, still have a desk my son and I started a long time ago that needs to be finished, and wife's storage cabinet, just haven't been able to get out there and complete those projects, life has taken over and kept me out of my shop. But, that's life right! As humans, we plan, and God laughs.

Sounds like a great time Gene, and Happy Birthday to Phyl! My wife and daughter love Sushi and Sashimi. Folks who have never caught a fresh Yellow Tail Tuna and sliced it up on deck minutes after being caught and served it with ice cold beer, may not appreciate it, but fresh fish, does not smell like fish and has a wonderful fresh scent and taste to it, thinly sliced Yellow Tail fresh from the ocean, is wonderful! It's funny, I don't like Sushi myself, but Sashimi I can do.

Sound like a big job you got there 40!

I am so sorry about your furred family member, having just gone through this last year, with two of our doggies, I know what it's like as many of us do, it's hard, since they were so much a part of our daily lives, it's as if some of our life's memories go with our dogs as they leave us.

87 offices on 6 continents.  I'm responsible for certain infrastructure assets in the western hemisphere.  Lots of irons in the fire on any given day.

I will eat Sushi. I can't say I don't like it. But, my inconsistently frugal nature rebels at paying that much money for rice!

I'll take the cake, and ice cream. 

But no way the Sushi, and whatever Sashimi is.

Sashimi is just plain raw fish, usually Tuna or Salmon. Not wrapped in a roll of rice.

Sushi & Sashimi aside, tell the Mrs. hello and happy birthday for us Gene

Working on two outside cabinets.

 

I respectfully request to be placed into “It’s Bait!” Category. LOLOLOL

Raw clams didn't agree with me.  I'm sure raw tuna or salmon wouldn't either.

The same with fresh, raw oysters from the Chesapeake Bay. They are sweet, slightly salty and don't taste anything like those packaged ones you buy at the grocery store. Now I just made myself hungry!!!

I am not a fan od sushi but I did eat my first on vacation with oldest son in Destin this year. With guidance from DIL on what to avoid and how to eat it wasn't too bad. Not that I plan to eat anymore. We vacation with friends from S Louisiana and they will not eat fish if away from the coast.
