i got word earlier today that my grandma passed away this morning. she'd been predicting she was going to pass away in 'the next few days' for the last 5 months now. 3 months ago, she got diagnosed with an aggressive but very treatable cancer and started giving up, doing very little, and eating even less. that was really what did her in the most. she was small/thin before, but between the lack of food and the cancer, she got even thinner. two weeks ago, we changed out her 'normal' bed for a hospital bed, and started hospice stuff.

so none of it was a wild turn, just the way life goes.

if anything, i'm happy that she's through her suffering with all the cancer stuff, and being that she sold the house and moved into a retirement community years ago, there's very few physical assets of any kind for any of the family to bicker over.

another friend of mine is dealing with an aunt that passed suddenly, leaving his alzheimer's-inflicted father as the primary asset manager--so he had to step in due to his fathers condition to manage everything.. she had investment land all over the country, while also leaving other assets to specific family members, with other assets being left undefined that family members are bickering over, while also establishing multiple trusts for various family members through a bank that refuses to let anyone except the aunt that passed away access any of it for going on 3 years now... it's a deep mess that makes me realize that the best way to go is as penniless as we enter.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Good morning friends, hope you all had a great weekend and have an awesome Monday

Cwopinger · Sep 9, 2024

Good morning shop crew I hope ya'll had a fantastic weekend.

I've been dealing with rainy or windy weather last week that has slowed down my driveway paint and body work on the Subaru hood scoop. This weekend was pleasant, no rain or wind and I was able to get the final coat of paint on it and bolt it back on.

Last chance to snag it Adam @Delta09

Have a great Monday!

Paint is actually very even, the shade from the oak tree makes it look spotty

If I had the money, I sure would drive down there and snag that up!

Sorry to hear that, I'm glad the suffering is over, but sorry you lost your grandma.

At the rate I'm going I'll probably be penniless when I check out, but if you care about those you'll leave behind it would be nice of you have leave with a plan in place.

I got bit by the tiniest tick yesterday. That’s the first bite I’ve had in several months. Damn thing was borderline microscopic. I had to use some props to get the camera to focus on it.

That's what we've been getting off us this year. They are thick where we live.

I have been ask to teach a class at our kids co-op in two weeks for career day about what I do and how I got to where I am.

Should be fun since I don't like being in front of people

Don't sell yourself short. I'm sure many of those kids know to screw around on their phone all day...

Crap, I just found another micro tick in an unfortunate location.

This is not the first time I’ve found small ticks around here, but these are the smallest ones I’ve ever found and they’re the first ones of this size to actually draw blood from me. I don’t think it’s that common here to find them so small. Perhaps they are just baby ticks, or a breed of of there own?

I'm surprised diesel was less than regular 87 octane gas. It's usually priced in between mid grade and premium gas here.

Most of the stores I pass it's still higher than 87.

I've had a few latched onto me and didn't know it until they started itching. I can't stand em.
