There is absolutely zero doubt that prayer works. OK, sometimes all our prayers are not answered in the way we would want them to be answered, but God allows things to happen for reasons that us finite humans with our small minds cannot comprehend. I accept that, but still pray the best I know how given the obvious facts. After that, it is entirely in the hands of God.

How nice of you to think about coming to make coffee for me. You have been awfully nice to most folks lately, did someone pray for you?
Still going to take it easy, but hopefully by the end of the week can start to become a bit more active. I am not one to watch TV and like to stay active, so am becoming impatient to get out and do things. Got more mods I want to do on my truck and need to change the tranni and rear end fluids too.

It's 5:30 in the morning here and my wife has just left for her daily 2 km non-stop swim. I can't do that non-stop.

Hi there
First day of my vacation, and I spend most of it waiting for the deliveryguy to bring the stuff I got for my new cave.
Around 3PM I figured I´d call the place, just to hear why my stuff ain´t here, they said morning... found out somebody messed up some paperwork, "we can´t find you"

And you can take a wild guess at where that guy is, YUP...VACATION

Never mind, I shop there quite often, I´ll talk to him when he gets back
It did leave me half an hour to pull the cutterdeck off my lawn tractor, it took a hard hit the other day, a stone pushed the front of the deck into the knife so hard and so fast it killed the engine before I could do anything.
That little devil has never done that before, but as I turned the key it started right up, so no damage to the engine, the deck prolly needs a wack with a hammer "of a decent size", and a little welding too.

Good to hear from Stan again, only problem is the news you bring...hope you get better in a hurry, keeping you and Bob in my thoughts, and all of the other folks around here who seem to have a hard time.

Off to enjoy my vacation evening, wooooohhhooooo

Slev - my first suggestion, slow down and stop mowing in 'road gear'.....

To be fair, last July was like that for me, I have two ride-on mowers and for 3 weeks last summer they were both down, one with a fried transmission and one waiting for a tire and tube that would actually hold air.

Scotty - I can't remember if your home is Saskatoon or Regina. If it is Regina, head for the basement dude. The official word from Environment Canada is that they are tracking a severe, Oklahoma style storm in your region that is producing strong winds, damaging hail and likely a tornado.

Let us know you are ok, if an when you see this message.

Found the seal problem it didn't have metal ring around it like it supposted to

Even the older re-runs are better than 99% of the other crud on TV.

You are the only person who has ever done that

I hadn't thought about that. Since rest is such an important part of the treatment it is indeed fortunate that you are at home (but no beer, wine or margaritas).

Scotty

I'm here! Took some hail damage on Saturday... all the roof vents and ac cover got smashed. Today I was on my way home when I heard about the tornados touching down near Regina...home. All are safe. Last I heard there was still a tornado watch within 15 miles of here.... north and east.
When I got home I found out my father inlaw has Stage 5 prostate Cancer. ;(

Bark

Man,,, That weather just doesn't seem to end for you guys this year.

Sorry to hear about your Father in-law. They removed my Fathers prostate and luckily they caught it early enough.
Doesn't sound like they found it early enough in your Father in-law. That doesn't sound good at all.

On a lighter note, after his prostrate removal he occasionally has a little bladder control problem.
They prescribed some new test medicine to help with it but later found out that one of the side effects can be early onset dementia.
He is in his 80's and immediately stopped taking it.
He was mad at the Dr. for not telling him and as they left the office he embarrassed my Mom in the lobby by yelling "Id rather pee my pants than lose my mind!"

Sorry to hear about your father in law Scotty.

Spent all night dreaming about trying to find a can of worms at the grocery store.

Today is Tuesday, July 16th.

1779 - American troops under General Anthony Wayne captured Stony Point, NY.

1790 - The District of Columbia, or Washington, DC, was established as the permanent seat of the United States Government.

1862 - David G. Farragut became the first rear admiral in the U.S. Navy.

1935 - Oklahoma City became the first city in the U.S. to make use of parking meters.

1940 - Adolf Hitler ordered the preparations to begin on the invasion of England, known as Operation Sea Lion.

1942 - French police officers rounded up 13,000 Jews and held them in the Winter Velodrome. The round-up was part of an agreement between Pierre Laval and the *****. Germany had agreed to not deport French Jews if France arrested foreign Jews.

1944 - Soviet troops occupied Vilna, Lithuania, in their drive toward Germany.

1945 - The United States detonated the first atomic bomb in a test at Alamogordo, NM.

1957 - Marine Major John Glenn set a transcontinental speed record when he flew a jet from California to New York in 3 hours, 23 minutes and 8 seconds.

1969 - Apollo 11 blasted off from Cape Kennedy, FL, and began the first manned mission to land on the moon.

1973 - Alexander P. Butterfield informed the Senate committee investigating the Watergate affair of the existence of recorded tapes.

1981 - After 23 years with the name Datsun, executives of Nissan changed the name of their cars to Nissan.

Today's thought:
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

Coffee & ph00 are ready. Remember Bob & family today.

Scotty - sorry to hear about your FIL and glad you didn't get clobbered by Mother Nature.

Would someone PLEASE change the fortune of us breakroom participants. Did someone break a mirror or something?

j_martin

What's wrong with you? Somebody is always opening a can of worms around here.

Scotty

Thanks folks. My wife is really taking this hard especially since the first specialist three yrs ago didn't check for Cancer!

On a more humorous note...after reading Bark's post, I had to go pee.

Scott...as mentioned...enough cans of worms.

I get dextrose injections in my Achilles tendon and Quad tendon today...left side for swelling and tears.


Also Scottkwa...looks like my eta for Goshen is Fri eve...if the load is ready. I'll know Weds afternoon.

Justwannabeme

POOF! I asked the Nissan fairy (that girl from the Big Bang theory) to come visit the breakroom......

so rub a lil on your vehicles and make your wish come true!!!

heck we already have Stan and MATT! in here, and a polite chiakwa. getting better already!

Bark! does your wife think you are as funny as we do? hope so!
heard from a friend who treats pro football players; that commercial about 'guarding your manhood' depends thingy really does affect offensive linemen pretty badly. years of strain causes loss of control. was hoping to hear gossip not drip drip.

Scotty and Scott together? I wanna see THAT hug! bad body meets bad attitude....... Both of you be safe....

Justin, J Martin Michiganman, NE troublemaker...all of you have fun- you work too much!

plugging away at projects, swam in the pond with about a thousand koi following my every move. had to get out and feed them so they'd leave me alone....they enjoy the new bouy fountain and tug boat. big birds went away, too much movement for them- YAY!

Bark

That is bad. With it being high on the list of problems for men it should have been caught earlier.

Freud would tell you it was a sex dream (really).
I, on the other hand, think you would benefit from electroshock therapy and a lobotomy.
You should also take j martin along with you in the dream just in case its actually about fishing.

I would say no. For instance, running over her purse for a second time seems funny to an outside observer but she didn't see the humor in it.

Well, gotta go move some vehicles. Summer visitors are showing up.

I know, weird dream. What's weirder is that I was looking for these cans of worms because someone, (never did see who), had asked me to go to the store for baby food. And I remember coming back from the store and asking whoever it was if they wanted the red cans or the blue cans. They told me blue. So I went back to the store but I don't remember looking for the blue cans. All I remember is going back to the person and asking how MANY blue cans. Then it was large or small. It was just one question after another with a trip to the store in between each one. On one of the trips to get the blue cans, the blue cans had all been sold and the choices were red or green. Back to the original person to start the process all over again. I'm beat!

Which explains my attitude after all the years of strain I've had!

Pervert!

Already had that, didn't do any good. Why do you think I'm dreaming about cans of worms baby food?

Oh! Is it summer in Alaska? When's that over? Friday?
