I rarely post outside the breakroom here so I'm posting here for a request of Prayers for my Father Inlaw.
He's having surgery this afternoon and last time was very difficult with his Diabetes and infections post op. He needs the surgery so the risk is something we have to take.

When I was young, just out of the Navy, I rented a one room apartment from an Irish woman. When she went off, I cowered.

Hi gang - - busy day so far. Tired all ready and only 1:30 - - mostly on knees or bending over and that is so hard on that back - - OUCH. Got a lot done but not enough. Had to clean up and head to the heart electrician doc. Maybe he can find something going on that is simple - - YEH. I like that thought.

You got it - - God does some amazing things - look in the mirror. Praying for him. Stay close to Punta Dunta - - she will need it right now.

OK, off to doc - - ya'll be good today.

Chaikwa - Scotty doesn't need any help from me in that category, he can go way too far wrong all on his own.

Hey! I resemble that comment.

Fiverbob.... are you still planning on that boattrip Down the Danube?

If so, I really hope it ainīt the first few weeks, seems like everything down there is sailing away right now.
Heard on the radio this morning about a town where the waterlevel was 13 meters (thatīs somewhere around 40 feet) above normal

In my neck of the woods weather is as good as it gets, sunshine and Little Wind, around 70*F so Iīve been mowing my lawn, and playing sooccer with my son, and tomorrow is a Holiday....no work .
Iīll send my prayers for your FIL Scotty.

Sprayed muskthistle today. There's not a lot of it, but where it's at, there's a bunch. Using dye sure helps keep track of where you've been too. Especially if you use a little extra, can see a sprayed plant from over 100 feet away.

Boss' uncle (86) is looking into getting re-manned knees. The cartilage has been gone for years.

Summer session of pool (TAP league) starts tonight, getting a shower and headed out pretty quick here.

A friend (33) moved his girlfriend in with him (22) last fall, and he doesn't hardly talk to any of his friends anymore, she tells everyone she works with that she's not allowed to work with or talk to any other men (BS!!) and I sat down with the weekend paper this morning, his house goes up for trustee's sale end of the month. He's known he lost it for at least three weeks, but he won't even tell his best friend that, he didn't know about it til I told him this morning.

She is manipulating him into acting like a dumb*** kid and he thinks it's great.

A girl who used to rent a room off him was hiding his mail for a while. Got home one day and no power and no gas, they shut it off. Him and another friend found about a month and a half or mail she had hid from him after he kicked her out. I think this one got the idea to do that, then just get it out for him a few days after the due date. That way she can blame the post office. I know her dad's reputation and that's the type of thing he would do.

She even talked him into walking out of the 4-wheeler shop where he's been turning wrenches because he didn't have enough time off (worked Saturdays) and wasn't making enough money. So now he drives an hour each way, works 6 days a week, for another $2 an hour. I don't think the $2 pays for his gas, because he'd put $30 in his Dakota and drive to work all week with it at the bike shop.

If she would stay home instead of burning a tank of gas every other day through that Dakota, or get and actually keep a job they could easily afford to live on what he was making at the bike shop. She's worked at just about every place in town that she is qualified to work at, and hasn't lasted over 2 weeks, except for the liquor store.

I'd like to go and slap the crap outta him, but I know he can take me, so that would be pointless.

Evening gang. Some work done today but broken up by seeing the heart "electrician." Amazing what these guys/gals can do - - - also a bit scary. Not sure I want them up in my heart with their shocking machine.

We are - - we are. Never thought of this but tell us the best months to go and to include a few weeks in Austria on the end of that trip. In fact, is that the best place to get on the boat? We are planning on it for the our spring or fall, but also going to Alaska for the whole summer. So, the trip would be early spring or early fall. What say ye???

Heading for the beddy bye. Long day. No rain today - - predicted for a lot of rain and heavy rains tomorrow. We will see. Take care and sleep well.

Was gonna ask the one girl on my pool team if she'd like to go to the Kid Rock concert in North Platte with me later this month. She went and got herself a boyfriend since the last session ended.

I wouldn't know what to do if she had actually said yes anyhow.

Tonight kinda sucked.

slevhansen

If she would've said yes, you would have gone to that concert, And you would have had fun, ya hear.
Now you just go invite another one, but you're still gonna have fun eh.

Bob If you want to stay warm, September would be the latest time of year to go, after that it gets kinda Cold.

I donīt have any ideas as to where the best place to get on a boat would be, but there are lots of travelagencies that offers rivercruises.
Seems like a nice ride too, and it is kinda funny thinking that most of the Castles and such has been there longer than anybody has known about America...(if you still believe that Columbus was the first to discover America that is).
But right now itīs high tide on them rivers, Iīll keep an eye on the news for ya, maybe it ainīt so bad afterall.

Coffee is on, phoo too, and since itīs a Holiday I got eggs and bacon for everybody, come and get it

C0ffee's on.

Wow, super quiet day in the breakroom. Hooray, the sun is finally out in southern Alberta. The weatherman said that we have already gotten a third of the average June rainfall and June is only 5 days old. No wonder there is standing water in the garden and a lot of the fields. Maybe DW and I should have planted rice and cranberries this year instead of onions and potatoes....

Play safe all y'all
