    Hey, @Smiles Jr. !

    Thank you so much for thinking of me. Is it OK if I use the smiley log for my avatar? This injury has been a real hassle. Much more than I ever dreamed it could be. I have been to 12 physical therapy sessions without much improvement. Just lots of pain. I'm a very active guy and this is...

    At Least I Didn't Have Plans Today...

    I don't know how I missed your original post @so lucky . I'm sorry you had to go through that. I hope things continue to get better as the days go by. Please take care of yourself as much as you do your hubby.

    Merry Christmas to my Dear TEG Friends

    Merry Christmas every body. I just wish mankind and our world had a brighter future. I think all the fussing and fuming between nations and fellow Americans is finally getting to me. The discomfort in my leg and hip is really dragging me down these days.

    On Mumbling

    Yeah, I have to look stuff up these days, too, @digitS' . I used to be banned from playing 'name that tune' at neighborhood parties because I could not only name the song quickly but I could also name the singer(s) or group and the year it was made popular. But those days are long gone for me...

    @digitS' Now tell us truthfully . . . did you look that up or did you actually remember that it was Sly and the Family Stone. They crossed my mind when I was trying to remember but others did too.

    @so lucky - boom, chacalaca, boom,chacalaca. I love that. I just Googled that to find out who made that song popular in the '60s but all I could find was references to basketball and some modern foreign pop music band. I seem to remember learning that Beethoven or Bach committed suicide...

    On Mumbling

    I have a very bad case of Tinnitus and recent studies have learned that this problem may have nothing at all to do with the ears or hearing. The studies are finding that the ringing may originate in the brain and is somehow perceived as a hearing problem. Interesting. My Tinnitus is so bad...

    garden related items for xmas?

    We have several tool buckets around here. If you plan to use one for tools I would advise that you get the ones that DO NOT have pouches on the interior wall of the bucket. Anything in those interior pouches will obstruct the bucket opening and you will have trouble getting big items into and...

    garden related items for xmas?

    @thistlebloom - I really like your idea of a bucket with tool pouch and garden tools. It may be too late for this Christmas but more opportunities are on the horizon. Hmmmm, let's see now, Diana, Kerri, Uncle Tim, Kelley . . .

    Massachusetts Institute of Technology

    There are many studies on this topic and almost every one points to the fact that most Americans value the dollar more than health. I also realize that farmers (of which group I am a member nowadays) must strive to make a living. And that "better living through chemistry" is vital to survival...

    Does Anybody Watch "The Voice"?

    Yes, my wife wouldn't miss that show for anything. She cried when he won - she was so happy. The only shows that my family watches are reality shows. We get teased for it all the time from the sit-com crowd. I don't get to see any TV very often but I must admit that I like Survivor, Amazing...

    Calving when is dark and cold.

    Yup! Always fun at night. Especially in bad weather. I would think the temperature difference between mom's womb and the -10* wind would shock the begeebers out of the young'uns. But they don't seem to be bothered much.

    MY 2016 GOALS

    I echo what the previous three posters said. You are to be commended for your ability to keep on keeping on. Keep up the good work and visit our little on-line family often.

    The Kitchen

    We have a mud room between our back door and the kitchen. Sometimes the dirty shoes, boots, Crocks, and whatever are piled up in there. But if you've been mucking out the barn(s) your muck boots had better stay outside or the wrath of Momma will descend upon you!!! We almost never wear shoes...

    Talk about Rambling

    I wonder if the elastic band in my tidy whiteys would work. I guess not. The elastic band hardly holds them up so there probably wouldn't be much of a work-out there. Oh gosh! - How about that for a mental image? It's 3:42 AM. I cant sleep and my leg hurts. Wish I could sleep.

    Talk about Rambling

    Even though it IS easy to poke fun at her it also looks like an excellent workout routine. I have used the brush mower to create an exercise trail around the property here. I guess it's about one mile long and absolutely nobody can see you unless they are trespassing and searching for you. We...

    My basement -- a new chapter

    I hope the project works out well. I love those kind of projects but they ALWAYS take twice as much time and three times as much money as planned. Please keep us up to date on the proceedings.
