A few bare spots still to touch up, then just 2 walls of the garage addition. Started December watering of trees, fruit, and perennials. Gave compost piles a good soak - adding more to the garlic bed before planting. Then back to the window project, finish the interior.

Oh yes. Even here in the mountains we've never had a day that didn't get above freezing. In SD we had days that didn't get above zero! So cold we saw tiny ice crystals coming out of a clear sky.
Finished mowing front yard, did some foundation paint so the front of the house is finished.

Good AM, MJ & all! No holly here and jolly is hard to come by with all our medical stuff. But had a good lunch Wed, just us. Ate too much but the (Not a Philly) sandwich was so good. Light supper of cheese, salami, sourdough. And despite Mon 6+ hours driving, pain minimal, mostly just stiff.

Good hump day, MJ & friends. Successful Tues - gym, trash run, some mowing. Selected 60 garlic cloves to plant, tilled bed and compost pile. Day off today, some errands and Birthday lunch at the Toad.

Me: How deep is the water?
Frog: needeep, needeep.

Me: You want anything from the liquor store?
Bullfrog: jugorum, jugorum.

but something in my right kidney needs more advanced imaging. Going to try for gym today but getting late already. Time's fun when you're having flies... oh wait, that's what the frog said.

What a year indeed, and it ain't over yet. Alamogordo trip a PITA as usual; eyes felt furry by the time we got home. Hope I like the new uro MD in Silver and won't have to make the trip again. Have appt next Mon. Current MD not too concerned with minor prostate/bladder issues...

Yes indeed, we do have those shitty days occasionally. Sounds like you got things worked out though.
P Doc today to follow up on ultrasound. Quick shower, make cappuccinos to go.
Have a great day, MJ & alll!
