    From the little you can see outside since it's still dark, looks super foggy.

    Nothing yet
    Hi all....It has been a wild 2 or so weeks. Work has been insane. Its all downhill from here, St Pattys starts the "busy season" That being said the Mrs. and I were able to get away for a 3 day weekend this past weekend. We went up to Montreal as I have a friend there. Was a good little break from reality. The FIL lost more weight (6ft - 107lbs) I believe he is now depressed and questioning whether or not the fight is worth it. This is beyond painful - watching someone actively die and give up when the reality is...they dont have to. It isnt all doom and gloom and quite literally eating/nutrition/ and some basic positive thoughts would save his life.

    A few food pics from the weekend:






    Last week I was able to build a raised bed garden with some scrap wood the FIL had laying around the house. Will be filling and cleaning up more tomorrow.


    I ordered a RTT finally.

    Will be installing the bumper next saturday

    Liked for all the good stuff you wrote about.... But really fucking dislike about your FIL.

    Life is a bitch. It really is. I'm struggling with my "back" issue and mentally it's fucking me up so I can only imagine his situation. Hope he realizes things can turn around for the better and turn it around.

    Your FIL...when I had cancer in '08 there were times I wanted to quit...it's a brutal battle with often dehumanizing treatment. I feel for both him and your family.

    The food looks great...but that bucket of mayonnaise...I'd rather have the bucket of dirt

    Got my switching relay from https://www.anytimebackupcamera.com/

    I'll install the relay and the lower dash panel before wiring it up to make sure I don't damage the new relay.
