    Catch ya later. Out the door to the VA again. My Dermatologist froze a big wart on my wrist last week, but didn’t get one edge good enough and it’s firmly attached still. Catches on everything and bloodies up my clothes.

    MPC exchange was for using at the base PX.
    The South Vietnam civilians monetary wiped-out occurred after VC took over in 1976. It's government hands out 200 new regime currency for each person in household regardless of how much the old regime money was turned in and discarded.

    hate when that happens! I suffer a similar but stupid issue, in that one of the many pills is some sort of blood thinner. I get tons of knicks and scratches, and they will bleed - all over everything until I discover them hours later.

    do you monitor your INR? You take warfarin or what? I just got a portable INR machine for my wife. Stick her finger and get an immediate result without leaving the house. She has to adjust her warfarin dosage weekly at present till she levels out. Before this last surgery, her INR was so steady she only sampled about every 3 months.

    No, whatever I take does not have me on any warnings. It's just to ensure that I keep good flow, and it's not even one of the drugs the heart guys checks on.

    I'll look at my list and see later. I had a CHF failure, and I was told it was more preventative than a treatment.

    OK, @06Tacooo , the new toy is here. I have looked at what you remembered, and that is suction side. More hoses that I am tired of. And the better versions have expensive hose connections. True for everything, our pool is that "classic' size that means it's just too big for low price versions. Polaris was pressure side, and I am sick of the annual rebirth costs. So, a robot it is. Has to SAY waterline cleaning, or no dice. That's a key phrase if anyone shopping. Forget steps, no one claims that. Larry would if he was working perfectly, not often.
    So, Dolphin Triton PS it is! We're going out to the umbrella with a :cheers: and the little book. Happy Birthday dear....that's my excuse...

    About as exciting as watching paint dry, but within the first half hour, it's demonstrated waterline cleaning, climbing, and even got on the steps. Even the wife liked it!!
    Edit: it did learn to look itself into the deeper end ladder. Another "protection " system on the way.

    Afternoon all:

    Saw these different forecasts for our area, 12-18", 4-12", and 2-4", none of them were even close. We are still getting flurries, but maybe got 1/2" and most of it isn't even accumulating, not that I'm complaining! :)

    LOL, we got an easy foot of heavy wet snow, however, because it is so warm we've got maybe 8 inches of very dense snow on the ground.

    Never trust February. Don't trust March.
    I'm not buying any veggies this week, with a predicted low of 33* coming up, and highs at 42*. Are you kidding me? I many have to move the little ones we have into the garage. OR
    They could change their mind!!!

    I remember a loooooong ago Roadie trip from Kalamazoo, to Marquette in the UP. May 1.
    Left Kalamazoo in T-Shirts. Regretted having only a jean jacket in the snowed in lot of the Holiday Inn.
    A trucker left sometime in the evening, and all of Canned Heat and us got a room in the warm!
