It was a busy day.. I definately can't hustle as quickly as I used to , but I still don't stop. Up and down the pallet being used as a short ladder then walking around on the wood pile, up and down, yatta-yatta-yatta.... me arse is pooped!

I need to snap a line and run the circ saw to trim back the edge..As much as I wanted to do the trimming on the back side, it would have been way too awkward and not very accessible in the far corner. F-it, it's just a janky firewood shed that no one else can see.

A few friends posted pics of some vibrant Northern Lights from my area around 8pm tonight. I had no idea that it might have even been visible. I checked the NOAA Northern Lights global map a little while ago, there may be another chance around mid night. I don't know if I can stay awake that long.

First of all…thank you for your thoughts and prayers. It’s been quite a day. I just got off the phone with my daughter. She was diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage. A diagnosis that does not give a lot of hope. She went in last night with severe nausea and vomiting. They treated the symptoms but the doc in the Moses Lake ER decided to run one more test. That’s when they discovered the brain bleed. The ICU doctor at Sacred Heart in Spokane told her the majority of people who are diagnosed with this have some major life changing alterations…loss of speech, inability to walk, some degree of brain damage, or death. She has no indicators of any such damage. Scans show that it was a small isolated event. That will heal. She is being released in the morning with directives to meet with her GP to get her blood pressure in check. Her bottom number (diastolic) was dangerously high (180-190). Doctor told her that if she believed in miracles that this would be considered one of those moments. I am a firm believer that a man with an experience is never at the hand of a man with a theory. I count this as an answer to your prayers and positivity. Words are not enough…Thank you

Thankfully the doctors went above and beyond and didn’t just kick her out the door without getting an answer. Getting life flighted and then released a day later definitely isn’t how that normally works out. Hope she’s past the worst of it

It was close! She had her discharge papers and was about to leave when the doc said we should probably do one more test just in case.

Good evening.

We wait all year for weather like this. After the mess that storms Helene and Milton have caused so many people, I feel guilty enjoying this spectacular weather.

Good thoughts and positive vibes to you and your daughter.

I don’t know what the answer is for stress and anxiety, but have you considered shooting at clay targets? Glad that your heart checked out good. Keep on those guys at your work.

If you all wouldn’t mind praying…I just got a call that my daughter “Lindsay” was airlifted to Spokane with a brain bleed. Waiting for word before driving over the pass. Not offended if you don’t do that sort of thing. Thank you

Those are a good idea too, though rabbit ears might not be enough. There effectiveness depends on how far you live from the tower sources. I'm 35 miles from the towers in Nashville over not flat ground and I've got a set in my attic on which I get a handful of channels. If I could get to the top of my roof I might get more, but I'd have to rent a telescopic boom lift get up there. I haven't felt it was worth the expense.
@Bluegrass Taco
You can use this website to see where and how far the tower are for your location.

https://otadtv.com/tvtower/index.html

My antenna isn't motorized, but I'd need something like this if wanted to try and get all those stations.

$33 HDTV Digital Antenna -150 Miles Range w/ 360 Degree Rotation Wireless Remote - UHF/VHF/1080p/ 4K Ready(Without Pole). Upgraded 2020 Version

Been a big fan of OTA for years. Tvfool.com also gives you data on what you can receive for stations based on antenna height etc.

Good morning. Got up at 4:45 to help the grandson with algebra. He's wrestling now and kind of hungry and tired when he gets home, so I suggested a good night's sleep, then an early start to the homework. That's how this early bird did it in college.
