Thanks, OB.
If she does as well with her knee, as she's done with her back, she'll be running a marathon this spring.

My good life long friend that passed away with his arteries blowing out a couple of years ago told me that he was tired of being tired. I'm ready to call it a day.

Talking with my sister yesterday, my B-I-L is in much the same frame of mind. His liver numbers were so high this week that the med staff decided against this week's chemo regiment. His Dr is out of town over the holidays and thought it best to consult with him on his return next Monday before proceeding. My sister told me that she is satisfied that my B-I-L is too beat up to continue and is ready to call it a day as well. He is only a shell of himself, has lost any interest in food, and is miserable even though taking the better than good pain meds. My sister and I watched our mother pass many years ago and my sis likened his condition to her's in the last week of or so of life. She anticipated a recommendation for hospice care on the doctors return.

My B-I-L was my business partner for over 30 years. A harder worker with a nothing is too difficult a task attitude sort of man you will not find. I believe he was doomed from the start of his cancer killing journey and I'm certain he felt the same. He fought hard for a year and a half that they guessed he had three months. I will always admire him for being a fighter of an unwinnable battle and maintaining an attitude of I'll die trying.

Do you use the green icon phone app or Google phone app? Will the Google phone app announce CID more than once ?

The removal of the stent was indeed a no big deal. He advised that there might be some passing of blood and discomfort but was more of a might happen more than a will happen advisory. My wife made out on the not really a problem side. A bit of upset stomach following the procedure and some discomfort in her back. Both passed over night and she felt herself the following day.

I get it. I've missed finding a thread at first search before as well.

I'm in charge of cooking for a while as the Boss Lady heals up.
Today, for New Years, we'll be having pork loin, black eyed peas and mixed greens.
I'm not gonna try to find any cracklings for cornbread. Last year the Boss Lady just took some packaged pork chicaroons which didn't work out so well.

Happy New Year.
It's 54° rising to 57 later today,
Tomorrow we'll be pushing 60.

Spot check on prices, today, show the lowest price at $2.32 a gallon. Most stations are about a dime more. I filled up roughly 10 days ago at $2.36. still, good prices.

I was going to say clearing the cache and the data also. Start the app fresh. The only thing lost will be the app settings, which would only take minutes to restore.

Philanthropist Morris Kahn has died, presumably from old age, at 95. A creative guy with lots of money, in his later years he focused on philanthropy particularly in the fields of science and medicine.

RIP, Mr. Kahn, with thanks for all you tried to do. Condolences to your friends, family and loved ones.

Native American politician Ben Nighthorse Campbell (Senator and House), Colorado, died December 30 aged 92. He was quite a statesman and was typically a voice of reason; when I saw his name I remembered him from when I lived in Colorado. He was also a veteran and went to the 1964 Tokyo games (judo), though due to an injury he didn't get to compete.

RIP, Mr. Campbell, and thanks for your service. Condolences to your friends, family and loved ones.

Very cool...erm, hot!

I had kept some birthday cards, valentines cards, and grade school sweetheart love letters in a scrap book. I took the time to look at and read each one before I tossed the scrap book a few years ago. Some pretty silly and funny stuff in there. Most of the birthday cards were from relatives that died decades ago. All of the material deserved a look after sixty plus years. I don't know why I kept the scrap book and I'm sure I'd enjoy looking at it in another 65 years That's why it hit the dumpster.

Thank you, you as well.

It warmed into the upper fifties today with very little wind. I did chores this morning while it was warming up and then went riding. I only rode three loops South because my local U had their first conference basketball game on this afternoon. I hustled home in time for the second half of the game. I only saw two other cyclists out today. It wasn't ideal weather but it was vastly improved from the most recent frigid windy conditions that shut my riding down. It felt great to be out.
