Update on my wife's and my Hospital S-show yesterday: (She fell and broke her hip in hallway when I was getting some minor surgery)

This hospital was only built in the last several years, and is close to us in our advanced age. They had the extreme misfortune to have some crazy person shoot a police officer and two of their employees earlier this year. So my wife getting seriously injured in the same hallway where this event took place, has made her a minor celebrity the last two days. Nurses from other areas of the hospital have come to check on her since this happened. I just got off of a phone call from one of these nurses an hour ago, telling me that 'they' were worried about both of us, and said I could call her again, if I needed to talk.
I have a good feeling about her eventual outcome, since I've been kind of upset that her regular doctor has never mentioned her gait or walking, that to me looked like she was favoring a bad hip. She'd get angry with me for mentioning it, so I'd stopped. I'm taking this whole event in a positive way, and she seemed good with that approach from her hospital bed this afternoon. She may most likely be in a rehab center on Christmas day, a first for both of us.

Urgh. Sorry this is happening.

And now. Keeping good and healing vibes for ya both.

Good day today.

We had no power at our farm. A huge tree came down last night and there’s no power all up the road where the farm is.

I had a few panels of foam insulation so I cut it to fit inside the door. Then split and stacked firewood and filled up the empty firewood bins.

Working inside the kiln was positively hot! Must’ve been 80-85° in there.

Mrs wonderer cleaned up and cleaned out the mill where our old tennanbt left us a bunch of shit. She found some good gems. A sledgehammer, a bunch of old hand saws, a fuckton of old 45 rpm records, two old chainsaws, some old 35mm cameras.

But mostly junk.

So... no fishy crackers for the h00mans?

Welcome back!!
Yes, being home is never overrated IMO!

If you go, hope you have a lovely time and safe home again.
Driving in drifting snow is almost as challenging sometimes as driving in a whiteout.

Vermin gotta go... pretty from a distance but a nightmare when they decide your home is their home, too

Your home must smell amazing!!

We always had snow showers on Easter Sunday but Christmas would often be in the 50s and gorgeous (during the day).

My dad and the dad across the street would often disappear for hours on Christmas Day. They would play 9 holes of golf using orange golf balls.

2 loves of chocolate in the oven. My cranberry orange looks terrible lime looks yum and i frosted and date walnut looks good but the smaller one got a little too brown...banana is banana

 

[Missk_2022]

Yes, I've been worrying lately about my 13 year-old Newfoundland mix. He's such a good boy, but definitely slowing down, same as us.

He is an old man for such a big breed... u must take good care of him

[Wat_Tyler]

I have a similar set up w a Ruger 10/22.

Oh yeah??? Well, I can hit shit with mine.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Although the amount of light is minimal for the next few weeks, it feels like I’m halfway through the tunnel of winter

Swear to Allah, I see it the second night.

There were 2 sisters that were new and the one was hiding the other just hissed and growled the whole time... i thought wat would like this cat

[Wonderer67]

[Wat_Tyler]

I have quite the girls fitting that description. Well, Ethyl isn't long haired, but she has a shit-tonne of hair.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Yep... cook for 45 minutes my ass..... it has been over an hr.... her recipe sucks

The birds will love that shit.

 

[Nightbird]

My moms 87 bday

Happy Birthday, Potassium's Mom!!!

Happy Birthday, Mom!!

A hot shower goes a long way. And I will have Little Miss Bixit Maker

Tell me you're living right without telling me...

So my wife getting seriously injured in the same hallway where this event took place, has made her a minor celebrity the last two days. Nurses from other areas of the hospital have come to check on her since this happened.

Silver Lining?
Glad she's getting the Rock Star Treatment
Healing thoughts and healthy vibes for you both!!

2 loves of chocolate in the oven. My cranberry orange looks terrible lime looks yum and i frosted and date walnut looks good but the smaller one got a little too brown...banana is banana

But how does it taste?
How it tastes means so much more than how it looks IMO!

Well i will put frosting on them.... no one will know

SO many baking oopsies can be hidden under frosting... and unless you tell them? Nobody is the wiser!!

They will still taste yummy!

Validation

Yep... cook for 45 minutes my ass..... it has been over an hr.... her recipe sucks

Fix it - you know you can!
And be glad you're baking alone?

The birds will love that shit.

Skwirrelz, too
Best scatter it around your sister's place

He is an old man for such a big breed... u must take good care of him

He's pretty hardy, we've taken two walks a day for many years, even in cold nasty weather, which he loves. He eats too much, and it fits him well,haha. He's a favorite of most of the other dogs on our walks, he's gentle with all of them, even after several have lashed out at him.

 

[dkak001]

Wat has what he calls his SSS - Squirrel Sniping System. It's a Marlin 60 with a Bushnell 3x9 scope zero'ed gnat's ass at 25 yards with subsonic ammo. The semi-auto will still cycle that round, oddly enough. It doesn't alert the neighbors.


Of course, Out West, There are almost no neighbors to alert.

I like those Marlin 60 rifles.
Ruger 10-22 are decent too.

My favorite is either the Browning BLR 22, or the Winchester 77 (mine is tube fed). Depends on if the on the 77 bolts slaps my fingers on that day...

You could say I have an unhealthy obsession with 22LR...

The problem with flying squirrels, is they're very very nocturnal.
