Morning all. Turkey day was great. Having the kids at home was a lot of fun.

Porsche-poor 12-03-2024 08:06 AM

Morning all. off to run errands and get a haircut. Have to look nice this weekend in a tux.

GH85Carrera 12-03-2024 09:03 AM

Yuck, A Tux! :eek:

Who is getting married?

Porsche-poor 12-03-2024 09:38 AM

The strange part is on the interstate there was a border crossing check point. Of course I never left the country, but that road is used by smugglers I presume. They saw an grey haired man alone in a 911, and just waved me through.

A lot of illegals come through there. Lived just south of I8 between San Diego and Yuma.

Trailer has a bad connection on the gas line to the water heater and needs replaced. Might as well do a tankless as put another 6 gallon one in.

We smoked a turkey and tri-tip for thanksgiving. Plus all the other regular stuff.

GH85Carrera 12-04-2024 07:58 AM

Playing UBER driver today. I dropped off Mrs C at PT place. Next is go fetch her and go to Dr. office for her checkup. She is doing way better than last week!

Porsche-poor 12-04-2024 08:06 AM

Morning all. That is great news, She will be back to the garden soon!

GH85Carrera 12-04-2024 08:48 AM

After several freezes about all that there is to do in the garden it remove the dead foliage.

She can get herself dressed and can use her left arm and hand to do light things. The PT guy encouraged her to start using it more. Still several weeks before she is back to full use of that arm, and sleeping in bed, not the recliner.

Porsche-poor 12-04-2024 10:12 AM

great to hear it will be no time at all before she points and you dig!

flipper35 12-04-2024 08:12 PM

Glad to see things are progressing well.

Porsche-poor 12-05-2024 07:30 AM

Morning all. ITs been cold and foggy here. So much so that its no fun taking the dog out for a walk.

GH85Carrera 12-05-2024 08:31 AM

He managed take a shower by herself. I had to help dry her back, but that was it.

It was really nice weather here yesterday. Today is kinda cod, with the mid 40s for a high.

GH85Carrera 12-06-2024 06:14 AM

So did you feel the big 7.0 earthquake yesterday?

I saw one new report that showed a huge line of cars on the highway trying to evacuate the low lying areas. It looked like the hurricane evacuations, just a mass of cars on the highway, moving little or not at all.

Porsche-poor 12-06-2024 08:22 AM

Morning all. Nope but I heard about it. 7.0 is a big one for for sure.

GH85Carrera 12-06-2024 01:50 PM

Another day of her going to PT. She continues to do better. That traffic jam looked horrible. I feel

100% safe from Tsunamis. Oklahoma as a whole has had 144 tornadoes so far. The record is 149 for the year. The vast majority of them are F0 to F1 intensity. Many of them did zero damage as they never hit a man made structure or object.

GH85Carrera 12-10-2024 07:41 AM

I took Mrs. C to her follow up apt at the doctors office yesterday. He said he wants her to stop using the sling around the house, and to start using her arm, and moving it. No lifting anything that is heavy. No heavy use, just keep it moving.

She took a shower by herself today!

We had mist all day yesterday and received a whopping 0.02 inches of rain.

flipper35 12-10-2024 02:31 PM

Was un the upper 50s for a while here. Now it is starting to get on the chilly side again.

Porsche-poor 12-11-2024 04:59 AM

Morning all. Bit bored right now. Waiting for the kids to get home for Christmas.

Porsche-poor 12-12-2024 05:46 AM

Good morning Thursday. Another day of waiting. I should get paid for this.

GH85Carrera 12-12-2024 06:06 AM

It was a cold but clear day yesterday. The Mrs is getting better every day. She is still sleeping in the recliner. The PT folks keep expanding the list of exercises she has to do at home.

Porsche-poor 12-12-2024 06:08 AM

That's great news! Hope it continues.

GH85Carrera 12-13-2024 06:27 AM

Another shower on her own!

Another day of playing UBER, taking her to PT, and then to lunch.

Porsche-poor 12-13-2024 06:49 AM

I'd kill for a shower about now.

Porsche-poor 12-13-2024 08:55 AM

Ok so here is the skinny as I know it. I have been in the hospital since Monday morning. Progressed thru 2 ctscans, an mri and a biopsy. They have not completely ruled out cancer but really have no idea. I may get to go home today and stay there till final biopsy results come in. After that it's either cancer treatment or surgery. Great way to spend the holidays.

GH85Carrera 12-13-2024 09:14 AM

All the tests really suck, but they have not found the bad pookie, cancer.

Hopefully they will find the issue, and the fix it, before Christmas. That would be a great Christmas present. Just keep on thinking positive. Good luck.

Porsche-poor 12-13-2024 09:17 AM

They found something they just don't know what it is.

flipper35 12-13-2024 10:35 AM

Got cold here. Found out the mice chewed one of the wires on the snow blower. Great fun.

I feel for you. Went through some of that in October. Biopsy was not cancer but they don't know what it is. Great.

Maybe it is an Extraterritorial device!

Hopefully they will figure it out soon.

Porsche-poor 12-13-2024 03:34 PM

Home for now. Now we wait to see what's next.

A shower???? :D

Porsche-poor 12-13-2024 04:17 PM

There is that!

GH85Carrera 12-16-2024 05:48 AM

We were at 69 or 70 degrees yesterday afternoon. I was allowed to pick up dog crap from the back yard. Yep, I was just a ordinary average man just like Joe Walsh in his song.

Ii liked the warm weather, not a real fan of picking up crap, but we did have a large collection so it needed to be done.

We had our local region's club lunch on Saturday at the Chicken ranch, within sight of the Arcadia Round barn on Rt66. It is a huge place. We had a nice turnout, and one new member. It was cool enough on Saturday that I wore my PCA jacket, and that let him find our table. He is a funny guy, and he asked the waitress what they were best known for. She said Chicken of course. They do have good boasted chicken. They have other stuff, but a restaurant named the Chicken ranch is not the place to go for a hamburger or BLT.

Porsche-poor 12-16-2024 07:08 AM

Morning gang. What be up? Still waiting. Not a game I like to play.

GH85Carrera 12-17-2024 06:44 AM

Mrs. Carrera is taking a shower on her own, and getting dressed on her own, except I have to help with her bra. I guess I have learned to do that. I had experience in removing women's clothes, but helping to dress a woman is much harder to do.

Porsche-poor 12-17-2024 06:54 AM

Morning all. Harder to do and probably more complicated that you think to get just right.

GH85Carrera 12-17-2024 08:10 AM

I am just happy she is just wearing jeans and a sweatshirt and not a skirt and blouse and accessories.

Porsche-poor 12-17-2024 08:19 AM

Dinner party next week! You are so in for it.

She has pretty much dumped all of her skirts and dresses. She used to have to wear those for going to work. She is 100% retired, and she will wear a dress as soon as I put on a suit and tie. It ain't gonna happen. I prefer shorts and a t-shirt, but it is to cold for shorts now, so jeans and a t-shirt for me.
