This morning the Boss had knee surgery. Trimmed 2 tares, removed some floaters and scraped arthritis. The cartilage has gotten thin, so we're predicting knee replacement in her future.
I have an artificial right hip and I can tell the left is getting the same way. Wouldn't it be fun if we both needed joint replacement at the same time?

Apple Pie . . . . mmmmmm
Apple Pie air freshener.
In the bathroom at work.
This means that when I run in to pee between clients, I start gagging because it smells like someone took a dump on a freshly-baked apple pie.
This is even worse than pine-scented air freshener. Because sometimes you do poop in the woods, but I hope to God nobody shits on apple pie...it would be un-American!
Lucrative Pain

Oxidation
Every day I get e-mails from Newsmax.
Today I got one that says "Your brain is rusting"
While probably true, how the hell do they know?

Getting Close
Another 2 hours and I'll have the cladding covering the deck framing finished. Next is the railing. By the time I get home from work and eat it's almost dark, so I'm now into weekends only.
All the gutters and the bathroom window have been replaced. The roof over the deck has been constructed. I paid to get all of that done.
Maybe I'll post some pictures when it's finished.
All work and no play is getting very old. Haven't ridden the horse we bought 6 weeks ago, and my trigger finger is very itchy.

Sick Dog
Got a voicemail on the cell just as I was leaving work to go home. The Boss said if she wasn't home she's at the vets. The nearest vet is on the way, so seeing her car I stopped. Just as I pulled up she came out of the building carrying the little Sheba Inu. The dog had the poops, very lethargic and blood tests revealed very poor liver function.
After we got home she upchucked, revealing a 1 inch long piece of caulk. Later she did it again revealing a few small pieces of caulk. We had all new gutters installed Saturday, so it appears the dog ate some caulk laying on the ground this morning. Called the installer for the type of caulk used, then the Boss called the 1-800 poison control number. And they basically had nothing other than some chemical ingredients. Being mostly cured, we're hoping the little dog hasn't absorbed too much in the way of chemicals.
As I write this she's now able to stand and she drank some water. Will she make it through the night? Will there be permanent liver damage? Only time will tell.

This and That
Yeah, I know, haven't posted much of late. Been busy as all hell.
Been trying to build a deck when I have the time. The structure is done and the boards installed, so it's useable but the side of the framing isn't covered, nor the railing built.
The crew arrived today and started replacing the gutters. They'll be back Monday to finish the gutters, install the new bathroom window and build the roof over the deck.
Last weekend was our annual trip to Hell . .. . . Michigan. Our 2 day, all day continuous play paintball game was great, at least the second day. The first day was too one sided to be of much fun. Contrary to popular belief, being on the winning side of a lopsided victory doesn't have much to offer. I'm a bit concerned about the longevity of that big game. When I first went there, maybe 12 years ago there were about 1500 players. There were about 700, I guess, last weekend.
The Boss has schedules another surgery, this time on her left knee. She's having a scope job to repair the meniscus. It'll take 8-12 weeks to heal, according to the surgeon.
Been trying to get to the range for weeks, but so far no joy. I did manage to load up a box of lighter loads for the Rossi lever action 454. The first time out a pin worked lose causing the bolt to lock up. I think I fixed that, but only recoil will prove that.
Thought that at my age, life would get more simple and relaxed. Sure isn't true for me anyway. Kinda petty huh. Considering the world as a whole is all screwed up. Evil is spreading through the world with nobody willing to stand against it. And right here at home, there's not a federal agency worth a shit, and we have the most inept president in my lifetime. This guy is so bad, I'm beginning to wish for Carter.
