I gotta remember that. Maybe dry some underwear in the microwave for good measure.
You win.
I would imagine they look a little bit like prunes.
Did the same thing. I was very careful to build to Kenai code (even though it doesn't apply out here) but just assumed that more pitch was better.
ReRun of the last two years.
Called the IRS to order the 1040 inst book and some forms since they do not stock them in town anymore and don't auto mail them like they did for 35 years.
They sort of gave me a hard time yet again.
They want everybody to do their taxes online. Just like for the last few years,
I tell em if they give me a computer, connect me to the internet and give me computer lessons I will do it on line,
until than---MAIL ME THE DANG FORMS.
I can always use them for toilet paper.
Having sushi for dinner. Using raw marinated salmon, halibut, squid and scallop for the sashimi. Life is good.

What a day yesterday. Went to a friend's place to cut some firewood, went to the local lunch buffet, back started bugging me. Felt better once I started cutting again, got in the truck to come home, and wow, major gall bladder attack. Ended up at the ER, CT scan, morphine, and anti-gas, anti-nausea meds, went in last night, they kept me overnight. Cute nurses. Go see the surgeon Thursday in Kearney, should get the dang thing removed Friday. Been putting it off for a while but it's not waiting much longer. Gonna take a while to pay it off but should be worth it. Even less sure my trip back east is going to happen this summer now.
Went to Cambridge instead of McCook, where they paraded people through the room and told me I had gas last time I was there (DUH! I told you that when I walked in) and charged me $1700 for the privilege. At Cambridge they buzz you in, by the time I got the door swung clear open there was 2 nurses there with a wheelchair for me. Everyone I saw had a purpose, and they went straight to diagnosis, once that was done they set me up to meet the surgeon. At McCook they x-rayed my guts, told me the obvious, and set me up with an appointment for one of the doctors in their clinic to do diagnosis and refer me to a surgeon.

Happened to stop by the breakroom on the way to bed.
Dang NE frmhnd! Sorry to hear that. I wouldn't know anything about it except for my wife had her gall bladder removed a long time ago.
It runs in her family and they say the pain can be really bad.
With her, she had severe pain between her shoulders, really bad nausea and a terrible headache.
Never would have thought that such misery could be caused by the gallbladder.
With her (and her Mom and Sister) they were able to do a laparoscopic removal of the gall bladder and she was out after one day.
Her Mom was in for four days but that was 35 years ago.
Hope they can fix you up quickly.

FIFY? Did you mean 'fiddy'? As in:
This is why licensing is important. More pitch actually causes the solids to be pushed up the walls of the pipe on either side of the flow. And it usually sticks there. When it dries out, it's stuck there like glue. Eventually, more gets stuck to the previously stuck stuff and the pipe becomes clogged. Where I come from, schedule 40 is mandated from the house to the tank and from the tank to the D-Box. Also, cast iron pipe is needed to go thru the foundation.
Life is good??? If it's so good, COOK YOUR DANG FOOD!
Everybody probably thought all that pain she was experiencing was just caused by living with you.
Morning all.
Fed the OWB @ 0500 and it's not snowing! It's minus 20 freakin' degrees with a stiff northwest wind, but it ain't snowin'! And that means I can come in here and bother all of you!
It is Tuesday, January 28th.
1871 - France surrendered in the Franco-Prussian War.
1878 - The first telephone switchboard was installed in New Haven, CT.
1909 - The United States ended direct control over Cuba.
1915 - The Coast Guard was created by an act of the U.S. Congress to fight contraband trade and aid distressed vessels at sea.
1935 - Iceland became the first country to introduce legalized abortion.
1938 - The first ski tow started operation in Vermont.
1945 - During World War II, Allied supplies began reaching China over the newly reopened Burma Road.
1965 - General Motors reported the biggest profit of any U.S. company in history.
1980 - Six Americans who had fled the U.S. embassy in Tehran, Iran, on November 4, 1979, left Iran using false Canadian diplomatic passports. The Americans had been hidden at the Canadian embassy in Tehran.
1986 - The U.S. space shuttle Challenger exploded just after takeoff. All seven of its crewmembers were killed.
1994 - In Los Angeles, Superior Court Judge Stanley Weisberg declared a mistrial in the case of Lyle Menendez in the murder of his parents. Lyle, and his brother Erik, were both retried later and were found guilty. They were sentenced to life in prison without parole.
1998 - In Manilla, Philippines, gunmen held at least 400 children and teachers for several hours at an elementary school.
1999 - Ford Motor Company announced the purchase of Sweden's Volvo AB for $6.45 billion.
Today's thought:
Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.
Thanks for the c0ffee Clint!
TOB&F today!
Learned that the line to the septic tank isnt supposed to pitch more than 1/4inch over every 4 foot of run..less pitch and it wont drain, more pitch and the water can outrun the solids and leave them sit in the pipe, as well as suck out the water from the traps in the house letting gas back in.

Poop draws all sorts of creatures.
Bark, how fast do the bladders actually run at in your wife's family? Shrew sounds like it effects everyone different. My sister had aching arms and lower gut pain with hers. They plucked hers without a big incision.

NE frmhnd, sympathy. I've past a few stones so I have an idea of the pain you are going through. The first time I thought someone had shot me in the back. My mom had to have hers removed. Haven't heard of anyone else in the family. My wife changed my diet and I haven't had any more problems in about 15 years. I think it had something to do with acidity.
Warm and drizzling this morning. Sliding toward a cooling trend, but still above normal.
Starting to get some pay out from State Farm. Bodily injury check is supposed to be "in the mail". Don't know what is happening with the property damage. Thing suddenly quit happening. I may have found a truck and I need the dough.

Got up to -24° this morning. Heard the furnace kick on the gas about 05:30. Got up at 7:30 and went out to feed the boiler. Waited for the circulator to kick in, and waited another 4 minutes for return water to warm up to room temp. Heard some slush in the pipes before that. System is anti-freezed for 0° -10°. A freeze up wouldn't break anything, but I sure don't want to have to drag the welder out in the snow, along with long cables just to thaw the durn thing out.
Anyway, deer are enjoying a little alfalfa I put out for them. Tweety birds are going through the 100 lbs of venison fat I saved for them about 20 lbs. per week. Going to have to buy another bag of oil seed for them tomorrow. I feel sorry for them. They pretty much have to eat non-stop to keep the heat on so they don't freeze. Heard a chickadee sing his spring song yesterday. Must have froze his brain.
I'm staying inside till I don't have to employ a minus sign to relay the temp.
You have 2 choices:
1. 12 gauge and bird shot. Make a blackbird, er bluejay pie.
2. Put out a dish of dog food. The jays will go for that and leave the tweety birds alone.

Dang, I forgot about how that cold you guys are having affects everything, even the little birds.
I am pretty painless but can sometimes cause nausea in large doses.
Took me a sec before I figured it out.
I like it.
No, my problem is with them trying to force us to use the computer to file our taxes by making it more difficult to paper file
and by insinuating that they scrutinize paper returns more than e-returns.
My PC is for babbling on DTR, ordering toys on Amazon and looking at d̷i̷r̷t̷y̷ ̷p̷i̷c̷t̷u̷r̷e̷s̷ oops, I mean art.
Heck, I may start filing on line sometime in the future when I feel like it.
However, if they are going to try and force me to file using a computer than they need to buy me a computer to do it with.
