It finally happened.
I knew this day was coming but it still surprised me. After 12 1/2 years of faithful service the battery in my snowmobile died. RIP old friend.

New batter has been filled with acid and is on the charger.
Maybe tomorrow I'll make it out to the cabin.

HAPPY EASTER everyone!! Sorry to be posting later, but today was a laid back day!! With just my wife and I here I fired up the grill and we had steaks for Easter!

It was a dull, gloomy day with rain in the area, but I snuck the grilling in!! I hope everyone had a good day and everyone is staying healthy!! With everything closing down, you don't have much choice but to STFAH!!!

Tomorrow is my wife's last day of treatment!

OS glad to hear the Mrs is done with the radiation.
Gotta be hard on the body getting zapped like that.
As said give her a post treatment hug from us all.

Top of the evening/bottom of the morning everyone !!

A brisk 5* here in the hills when I awoke this morning & topped out at 23*...The 7 inches of snow that was forecasted ended up only being 2 inches for us...Looks like more headed our way Wednesday!!

Pretty chill day for the wife & I...We made some brunch & then took a drive out to the Big Hole River valley...Saw a few deer, a bald eagle, a golden eagle, couple osprey & a few sandhill cranes...Returned home & smoked a couple steaks for Easter dinner...Nice day but it was chilly out !!

Have the appointment with the doc today, so hoping that goes well...I still have some slight wheezing when I exhale so I'll have to address that with the doc...Really stressed out about going back to work...I so bad want to because this has been such a long haul, but I'm so nervous about the possibility of being exposed to this Covid19 crap...Time will tell I guess !!

Hope everyone had a great Easter !!
Take care & stay healthy/safe !!

'
Good morning Spitzo, ER's,
It's 46* and raining the wind is suppose to pick up later, gust as high as 50 mph.

Spitzo........Don't push going back to work under these times, you don't need Covid 19 after all you have been going through.

OS............Give your wife a big hug and a congratulations for completing her treatments.

If your hospital
is like my wife's, your wife should get a diploma when done today.

Dave..........That had to be scary, it must have been like out of a movie, Zombie Apocalypse.

Wally..........It's a sad thing that they have closed the boat launch, but I guess it's for the best, we have to beat this virus.

Marv..........Thanks for sharing the videos, I hope you Corned beef dinner was a good one.

Eddie.........I hope you were able to talk to your mom yesterday, I'd guess that it's getting pretty lonely for folks in nursing home during
this time.

Tom............I hope you were wearing knee pads putting the floor down, my wife wants me to take up the carpet in our bedroom and replace
it with a hardwood floor.

Yesterday I tilled my wife's garden, I'm probly pushing it but it seemed a thing to do. Then we had a nice chicken dinner.
Not much on the menu today with the rain, puttering again.
I hope everyone has a good Monday either at work or at home. Stay safe and Healthy.

Good Morning Jeff, Spitzo, Morning Everyone,
50* on the Hill this am, raining and winds picking up, high of 61 today.

Jeff....I didn’t get to speak to my Mom, but have been getting daily updates from family and staff. Agree, it’s certainly been a very lonely time for the residents and family members being separated. Hoping for better days to come soon...for all of us!

Spitzo...X2 on Jeff’s reply...perhaps have your Dr. recommend the time off until things get under control?
OS...this ones for your wife with a virtual hug from NY...

...
Dave...scary encounter for sure, damn! The cabin is calling....

Hoping everyone had a pleasant Easter spent the best way you could. Apologies to everyone I’ve missed, phone replies are proving to be difficult. Hoping to get my computer problems resolved soon. I’ve got some stories to share, but they’ll have to wait until I get a bigger keyboard, lol.
Stay safe everyone!

Good morning IW! Good morning everyone

25 heading into the 30's later on, right now a pesky wind is giving off a cool WC of 9. Yesterday after I had posted we received an additional 4" as some wrap around snow paid a visit. They claim by the end of the week we will see the 60's so the snow can just sit there.

Eddie hope you are soon back in business with your computer. Hope you get a chance to launch your boat

OS Congratulations to your wife on finishing up her treatments

IW good going on getting the garden ready

Yesterdays corned beef was excellent

Yesterday the turkeys were back and hungry with the snow. My wife thought she saw Arrow one time back in the woods, but she couldn't confirm it. I will fetch the card later and see what's all on it.

Chainsaw sharpening is on my agenda today. The weather has screwed up any tree job plans I had. The "Office" is about to open.

Hope you all have as good of day as possible

Stay safe.

Morning all,

Eddie.....glad you're at least able to get updates on your Mom from staff

IW....just keeping my fingers crossed the launch closings, (which so far are VERY inconsistent), are reopened before summer's over

WS.....guessing the bad weather is Mother Nature telling you to slow down

OS.....I've always been "one of the guys"

Spitz.....agree on the stay out of work advice

no need to take that risk

IFF.....hope all is well out your way sir

Wind and rain today, could be gusts upwards of 60+ mph

guess tomorrow will be a pick up sticks in the yard day

Have a good day. Stay safe, stay healthy.

hunts2long · « **Reply #19271 on:** Apr 13, 2020, 06:40 AM »

51* rain and wind.
OS, thoughts are with your wife. Bet you are both happy this is her last treatment.
SpitzoMT, good luck with your doctors appt. Don't be rushing back to work if you don't have to.
WW, I haven't heard anything about the state launch just down the road. The gate usually doesn't open until about a week before walleye season opens. None of the marina's have put in docks let. Those are the ones that will stayed closed. Most of those that use them just sit on their boats and party anyway. Plus most are from the big cities so hoping they stay home a while longer.

Didn't do a whole lot yesterday. Stayed out of the wife's way while she prepared dinner. Took Scout for a walk at the campsite. Dinner was good.

Have a good day and stay safe...h2l

Good Morning ER's congratulations to Mrs. OS. Dave hope you get to the cabin. Just a dusting of snow here. I think the wind will be spooky out East later today button up. Making progress on the cleaning here 2 more rooms and the basement will be done.

OldSailor · « **Reply #19273 on:** Apr 13, 2020, 09:21 AM »

GOOD morning ER's, and I do mean GOOD!!!! My wife has competed her course of radiation complete with a diploma and ringing a bell at the treatment center! I was allowed to go with her this last time!! I want to thank everyone for their support during this trying time!!

I hope everyone has a great start to the week no matter what's on the planner!! Stay well and STFAH!!!

Great news OS. So happy for both of you.
Best news in weeks..

Good morning rain and high winds here might see a power outage and tree damage. Hope everyone had a nice Easter. Prayers for those affected by tornados in parts of southern U.S. appears most of the eastern U.S. is seeing rain and high winds.
Ice Wanderer smart move to stat home your wife does not need additional medical problems. Looks like you will be planting soon best with the gardens.
Wallyworld may the boat launches open before coming Summer is over going to be lots of stir crazy folks if Self isolation draws out for several months.
Hunts2long nice you were able to see your brother and Lindsay. Did she pick out the plants she wants for her home.
Whopper Stopper I may see some of the white stuff before this week is over definitely interesting weather forecast. Thanks for the trail camera videos. May Arrow still be around your home.
UFCreel Covid-19 is making for interesting times sure many are not happy with the court ruling but understand police concern when responding to calls. This virus is drisrupting the "normal" style of life here in the U.S. .Tomturkey guess your DIL is considered a non-essential medical worker. May her furlough not be a lengthy one.
Drifter scary times we are living through at the moment hope you can get to the cabin and work from it until Covid-19 runs it's course.
OldSailor may post treatment medical reports show your wife to be cancer free.
Eddie good you receive updates on your mom stressful time for all of us currently. I received a text message with easter greetings from my neighbor when I lived in the house. I'm not big into text messaging so a chore for me to respond to him using my cell phone. Hope you can get your computer repaired this week.
SpitzoMT good you received under the 7 inches forecast of snow. I agree with others don't be in a hurry to return to work and take all the precautions if you do go back to your job.

Have a good Monday may all dealing with rain and high winds today come through with no problems.
Steve

Good Morning Everyone, Old Sailor, make sure you give your wife a big hug. Hope she’s feeling better. Had my MRI with contrast on Saturday. Took 3 tries to get a iv. Hoping this finds something. They wouldn’t let my wife in the building which didn’t go over well. We had a relaxing Easter. She made a ham with all the trimmings. She’s at work today and it’s very bad in the icu. Saw local boat ramps closed.

Old Sailor, Continuing prayers for your wife. That’s great she’s done. How is she feeling?

Old Goat, Sounds like the cleaning is moving along.

Hunts2long, Hope you have a good day in spite of the rain. I stayed out of my wife’s way yesterday as well. I’m sure scout enjoyed getting out.

WallyWorld, Hopefully Mr WallyWorld hasn’t been to busy on the Ambulance or the Engine.

Whopper Stopper, Rainy days are a good day to sharpen chain saws. Hoping Arrow is ok.

Mason Eddie, Prayers your mom is doing well. Hope you get your computer up and running.

Ice Wanderer, How is your wife feeling? Today is a good day to putter in the garage.

SpitzoMT, maybe you could get your Doctor to write you a note to keep you out of work. You could be more susceptible to the Coronavirus.

Drifter_016, Hopefully you get out to your cabin soon.

I hope and pray everyone is doing well during these tough times.

OldSailor thank you for the update on your wife.

Hope some type of celebration is planed for tonight.

Icefisher-45 sorry it took multiple attempts to get the I.V. in place. Once the MRI is reviewed may it lead doctors to a course of treatment that lesson the frequency of or stops the headaches.

Steve

OldSailor · « **Reply #19280 on:** Apr 13, 2020, 03:03 PM »

UPDATE----- It was a stretch, but I gave my wife a big group hug from all of those of you on the ER thread that went from the NWT's to the east coast and all points in between!!

Thank you friends!!! We sincerely appreciate the support!! God bless you all!!!

STFAH!!!!!

Good evening everyone

I grabbed the camera card today, the turkeys had a big day yesterday. The last video was a special one.

Hope you all have an excellent evening

Stay safe.

WS

mr.clean · « **Reply #19283 on:** Apr 13, 2020, 10:38 PM »

Good evening rain and winds have stopped thankfully I never lost power. Though something must have happened in the back of the complex around 7 PM I saw two tree service trucks exiting the complex. I'm watching the news today's weather caused damage in Capt. Jim's region of NJ. thankfully no reported injuries. Now the question is when can repairs be done to damaged property.
Whopper Stopper good to see Arro is still alive looks like the fletching on the arrow is no closer to or inside her body from the video footage.

A goodnight to everyone stay well.

IFF · « **Reply #19284 on:** Apr 13, 2020, 11:05 PM »

Marv I got snow too, and temp dropping to 12* tonight. Guess its not spring yet. Found out why no internet and phone service, for the past 10 days ?.... underground cable had been cut. Not out of the woods yet on that score. Now to see if I can get the computer straightened out.

Another weeks worth of infection killer pills. When will it ever end.

masoneddie · « **Reply #19285 on:** Apr 14, 2020, 03:14 AM »

Good Morning Everyone,
The rain and strong winds have stopped here as well....39* high of 51 today.

Bud...good luck with the computer...

...know what that’s like being down!

Marv...thanks for the videos, glad to see Arrow back again!

Steve...thankfully we didn’t lose power either, some of those wind gusts were ferocious yesterday. Hoping Capt. J and family had no issues.

OS...wonderful news on your wife!

I-45...best wishes to you and hoping you get results they can work with this time.

Have been watching most of our Governors daily updates here, appears we are seeing some good results with the social distancing/staying at home.
Keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers as we trudge forward through this most difficult time in our lives...be safe everyone!

ICE WANDERER · « **Reply #19286 on:** Apr 14, 2020, 04:01 AM »

Good morning Eddie, ER's,
It's 46* and the wind is still gusting here to 10 mph.

Eddie.........So since I see emotions on your post, you have your tablet working again.

Steve........We didn't lose power here either, I think that 51 hour power out we had basically took all the weak trees down.

I do know that Aton Mt. Road in Cornwall lost power.

Marv..........Nice videos, the snow isn't what I'd like to see. But seeing Arrow back was a nice treat.

I-45..........I hope the MRI reveal something so the Dr. can fix it.

My wife is having some side effects from the medication that
the oncologist prescribed, some tiredness is the big one. Thanks for asking.
Bud..........You can keep the winter weather out thank you.

Wally........I'm sure the boat launches will open but when is the question. I heard our governor yesterday that he isn't going to rush our
state to reopen.

Which is a good thing I guess, we don't want to get a second outbreak of this thing.

Yesterday was a lazy day around our house we can only clean so much and I can only putter so much. Hopefully today I can get outside
and do something.
I hope everyone has a good Tuesday either at work or at home. Stay safe and Healthy.

IW

Morning Jeff,
Unfortunately, the IPad is still sitting idle...still using my phone .
Cabin fever is getting to me as well...hang in there!

hunts2long · « **Reply #19288 on:** Apr 14, 2020, 05:06 AM »

36* this morning.

WS, nice to see Arrow show up but you can keep the snow.

Eddie, I agree, all this can become boring quick. I can tell you that "retirement" isn't like this. I seemed to be busy all the time. It may just be the time of year.

Our power went out about 8:30 last night and was out for about 3 hours. Must be why I woke up so early this morning.

Have a good day and stay well....h2l

wallyworld · « **Reply #19289 on:** Apr 14, 2020, 06:18 AM »

Morning all,

IW.....hope the docs can adjust MrsIW's meds to something more tolerable for her $:-\$

IFF.....fingers crossed this round of antibiotics does the trick

WS....thanks for the new videos

H2L....glad your power wasn't out too long

MrC....hope there wasn't too much damage from downed trees in the complex

CapJ.....hope you also survived the storm with little or no damage

Eddie.....x2 this is NOT retirement

except for the part of everyday being Saturday

Most of the rain and wind forecasted missed us yesterday

still a little breezy out but that will only help dry the ground up

Have a good day. Stay safe, stay healthy.
