20250511 - Busy Mother's Day

20250511 - Up in the am and L&I to church. We skipped bfast this week and swung through the Home Depot so I could get a saw blade and get to work. Home and D over, had trouble getting G out of bed... Eventually we got rolling on sealing the driveway and it went really fast. We got our driveway done and Doc's in record time. L warmed up the pork and we had a nice mothers day late lunch. J showed up and ate too. Boys left and I headed out and put a second coat on the driveways. Then I got eh saws out and worked on one of the benches. I really like the raw edge. Finished late. In, cleaned up, watched some American Idol with L and to bed.

20250510 - Slabs

20250510 - Up in the am and went to pick up groceries with L. She waited int eh car and I went in and got meat and beer. Home and unloaded stuff and I got a 10lb pork butt in the smoker. Pretty soon Vinnie and Penn and Gary showed up, D and Hank too and we headed back and got the chainsaw mill fired up. I spent most of the day slabbing logs, J stopped by and Gary stayed the longest. Riley helped me carry the slabs up. L trimmed the bushed and did a bunch of work out front. I then got on my hands and knees and started patching the driveway. Done late and the pork was done and it was really good after a long day. In and cleaned up.

20250509

20250509 - Up late and to the desk getting things done. L home and we ran to the school to see G's senior capstone project. He did his on yoga and baseball. The other kids did things like learning how to cook, painting fancy nails, research on growing plants, what job they would like... Grant's was good, we're not sure how, as we never saw him working on it... But his was one of the better ones, so that was good. After exploring the kids projects I ran L to CVS and then took my E550 through the car wash. Home and back to the desk to wrap up the day. Then headed outside and cleaned the driveway off.

20250508 - Slabs R Cool!

20250508 - Up in the am and dropped L off at school and got to drive my E550 to work for the first time since I got her back. OMG the ride is so smooth and the power is amazing, so happy to have her back! Got to the desk and got things done, had a couple meetings, pizza with the team, took the trash out and headed home. Hannah and Hank were here when I got home, so was the chainsaw and ripping chain I ordered. I got the chainsaw put together with the ripping chain on it and fired it up, ran great. I then got the chainsaw mounted to the chainsaw mill. D showed up and L cooked dinner for us. Then D helped me get the first cut rails set up on a log and the pully system set up and we gave it a try. CUT LIKE BUTTER!!! we flattened the top of the log off and then cut one perfect plank. IT WAS AMAZING! One of the coolest things I have ever done! Got things cleaned up and headed in for the night. Casey got a hold of me today and let me know he bought the car we went and looked at the day before I went to the hospital.

20250502

20250502 - Up in the am L had brought me some clothes so I showered and got comfortable for a long day of testing. Had an ultrasound on my legs and a new MRI on my head and neck. Sending all results to Terrill and he said I'm healthy as a horse and need to get out of here. Neurologist wants to put me on Eliquis as a precautionary measure... Cardiologist in and says other than the PFO my heart and all arteries everywhere show no sign of plaque build up or any calcification. He doesn't think I need Eliquis, but said so it until after he sees me in June just to be safe, said we have to figure out why the AFIB is happening. Got released in the evening. Good to be home and Hazel was happy to see me.

20250501

20250501 - Around midnight they came and got me for an MRI. Didn't sleep much, too many beeps and alarms going off all night. L showed up, had bfast, sat around waiting... Headed down for a CT scan with contrast, the ladies said are you ok with blah, blah, and iodine, and I said NO IODINE because of the thyroid. So they cancelled that... Back up to the room. Waited, Same kid came back to get me and took me down for a heart ultrasound. I was nosy and asked tons of questions and got to watch as they injected bubbles into my heart and you could see them on the screen, so cool. The ultrasound shows everything is ok except a PFO, a tiny flap that never completely sealed in the heart, not a big deal, 30% of the population has it. Back to the room and waited some more. They ordered an MRI with contrast instead of the CT and leg ultrasounds, but by then it was too late and I would have to spend the night again... Slept better tonight.
