I think Jeff was meaning the type of rusty nail one consumes in a glass at a bar. To many of them makes him drop his pants.

Mrs Carrera has decided we need to clean out the storage building. That will be fun. And by we she means me with her mostly pointing and grunting.

We went to Pelican's cars & coffee this AM. Nice cars! We met Joe Bob (we parked next to him), but there were too many people. Didn't know any of them.

Holy Schmoly!! I'm watching Motorweek and the 2017 Cayman S does 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.2!!

And no a tetanus shot or antibiotics would have made no difference.
I did clean it and put a triple antibiotic on it but it didn't even slow it down.
And it was fast too. 3 days and it there was enough dead flesh to take it off with surgery including a toe.

Wasn't quite as fast as the infection my nieces son got in Rolla Mo not long after I got mine.
His started with a scratch on is side. Within the hour it took him to get to the hospital it grew to 8 inches diameter.
He rushed to the hospital because he could see it getting bigger and it was turning black in the middle right before his eyes.
In the time it took them to med flight him to St Louis it was more than twice that size.
Buy the time they got him into surgery which was immediately it was half way around his body and went from his underarm to his knee.
His was mostly just his skin though.

I cut my finger pretty badly a few days ago, the laceration runs almost half the circumference of the finger and I felt it hit bone. After keeping a lot of pressure on it for about 15 minutes, the bleeding had slowed enough for me to put a ton of dermabond on it. Dermabond is great. Aside from being able to dry while blood is still oozing, it dries fast and kills any germs that get in the wound.

Sure hope it don't get a MRSA infection. Those really suck.

Good Morning. Either it's foggy out or my good eye is getting worse.

It is pretty foggy. About a thousandth of of an inch of moisture. Just a heavy dew. Better than nothing I guess.

I watched the original Indiana Jones and the third one with Sean Connery. The two best ones of the series. The original was released in 1981. Harrison Ford was still a puppy. I think the search for the Grail was the best one.

It's 11am. Car looker called and is on the way. If I don't post within a couple of hours. Suspect foul play.

Well darn it. They are going to look at another cayenne.

They did drive up in a maroon Jeep Grand Cherokee.

While the husband & wife were taking it for a drive, the daughter told me her mom decided she wanted a Porsche or a Mercedes SUV and the closest MB was in Dallas.

It's Sunday.

I can't believe you haven't sold your car yet.

We are at 32 degrees so I went and washed the truck. It's not "summer" clean but it'll do for now.

Went to the grocery store. Shelves are starting to look like they are going out of business.

May have to become a Target shopper.

Haven't heard from the chick that looked at the cayenne, so assume she didn't like it or the other one she was looking at costed less. Think mine is the only one in the area with air suspension. She acted like she wanted that.

Have called ALL the cell phone providers. They are all within $2 of each other if I upgrade my phone.

Trying to decide if I would like an iPhone plus or just the regular sized one.
The Plus is $5.00 more per month.
On the plus things are a little bigger and clearer.
Think it might be better for the failing eyes.

The puppy bowl is a bit lopsided. My wife has been watching for hours. The fluff vs ruff. Team fluff won big time.

Been watching the dubbed kung fu movies on ElRey Network.

I pretty much finished doing our taxes. I need one piece of interest income info and I can wrap them up. Whew!

I cleaned out our junk drawers this afternoon. We HAD a lot of junk. ;) Most of it wasn't even Goodwill worthy.

Supposed to sit around doin nuthin till the insides of the eyeball heals, bored!

Monday has returned. I guess that is a really good thing that the world continues on.

I guess the days of great Super Bowl commercials are over. There was not one that was great. A few slightly funny ones, but none of the great ones.
