The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

It rained really high and the creek at our farm was way over the banks. Then it cleared around 2 o’clock and so I started filling up the wood bins at the farmstand, which were all empty.

But at least it was warm out, almost 60°

Got about 3/4 of the way through it and it started pouring. And sleeting. And hailing.

All I know is there was frozen precipitation stuff mixed in with the pouring rain.

I guess that was the cold front

Oh yeah, and thunder and lightning.

It's snowing again. Rained then froze up last night so ice covered roads.
Perfectly fine and normal as far as I'm concerned.
At least they aren't trying to use that salt shit on the roads again.

Had to travel for one of those work Christmas parties.
Few hours in the building was enough for me. But it was nice to get to see everyone.

This is our main turnpike. It's amazing how much snow we lost over the last two days. It should be like concrete under this new stuff once is sets up again.

All snow down south of the bridge went away from the rain. No snow forecast for the week ahead. The weather is very weird.
 
I ended up taking the whole day off and knocking out a bunch of chores and to-dos.

Visited my friend at the rehab. Had a good visit. Shit tons of limbs down and one fell right next to my truck. Fairly sizable too.

The power at the rehab was on and off the whole time.

His son was there too and we had a bunch of of laughs. A nurse came in just to tell us she was happy we were laughing lots. “It’s the beat medicine.”

(We were talking about all kinds of guy talk and thought she’d overheard us!) 😂😂😂

Great visit. I brought some really good meatballs from a great restaurant in my hometown.

Coming home was tough. Tons of roads closed. It was near my hometown so I knew all of the roads to go nowhere the road was closed.

It was good to get home.

And good to see my buddy.

He comes home on Tuesday.
 
How your day sometimes goes, when you're in your 70's. Mine started as expected; reporting to our local hospital at 0615, for a procedure under general anesthesia. Woke up, feeling not nauseous, or foggy brain, big plus.

Wife accompanied me as my designated driver. Nurses went to retrieve wife to meet me in recovery. Nurses return w/o wife, concern on their faces. They explain on the walk to my room, wife who uses a cane fell in the hallway on her hip. Said they'd take me the ER after I dressed.
We sat in ER waiting room an hour or more, waiting on results. She's admitted with broken hip.

Surgery tomorrow at 0800, full hip replacement.
Neither of us know my daughter's or granddaughter's phone number without our cells. Left mine at home intentionally, she left hers at home by mistake. Fun day, she rated her pain level at a 9.
p.s. I violated the no alcohol rule for 24-hours around hour 12. Merry Christmas, LOL
 
Anyone else having trouble logging into LIt? Couldn’t get in through Safari or Brave this a.m. ? I quit Safari, it came up but wouldn’t go through…then I shut down VPN and it let me…I had updated yesterday but wasn’t running it when I did and had trouble last night also…Lit might be telling me something…

If’n I ever end up in the old folks home…just push me out to sea in my boat…let nature do the rest. Helped with my uncle today. He had a mini-stroke and can move his arms and legs but can’t stand on his own…I was thinking he could. He’s a lot worse off than I thought. Anyhow, helped my cousins take a motorized recliner in. We spent some quality time.

I don’t ever want to spend one minute in a place like that….and it’s one of the nicer ones here in town…

Got some Christmas shopping done…nothing like waiting till the last minute. Gotta guy coming over to help with the Elves in the attic today. Found some caps for the pipe for cheap at Lowe’s. Just gotta find a way to get up yonder.

Everyone have a great start to the weekend! The Afternoon Z——

I didn’t have any trouble logging on. I always use my phone so no issues.

I agree. If I can’t take care of my self, I feel like I’m no longer living. Then I’m just existing.

And I won’t have that.
