Hey there HOG!
No hook ups to a six or 10 wheel truck yet. Need to hire one for a few hours. 6'er os $50 an hour The 10 is $80 and hour. Not many in my area. May have to settle w/a pick up truck and a lot of shovelling!
My sharp pain backache has not left me yet. It began on Tuesday the 17th. Not a muscle ache. A stabbing sensation.
Otherwise happy to see the plants growin'. It's Spring!

Rather a disconnect between gas prices and oil prices over the ten years ...

Good Musical Monday Evenin HOG!!! Sorry I've been absent here the past couple of days. Here is why!!! So om Sat I was at the Denton Jazz fest waiting for LP's band to take the stage. I was standin behind the lawn chair I had been sittin in. I took a couple of puffs off my inhailer. After a few mins I was able to breathe. But still had muscle spazums. I watched his band play then the other TJC band start to play. I left there after a couple of songs. I went back to the store to close. I stopped by Walgreens to get some Doans Back pain pills. Took them when I got to the store. I felt a little better. Got home ate dinner then sat on the couch a while. Around 9p I guess the Doans wore off and I couldn't breathe and the pain was severe. I was in tears. I went to the ER and found out that I hadn't colapsed a lung but had broken a rib. I ended up goin into work Sun mornin. Mrs C went to CVS to fill my pescriptions as our pharmacy was closed. She brought it to me but only let me have the latocain patches. The tynolol 3 with codine and the naproxin she made me wait till I got home. I was in pain all day at work but made it thru. Got home took the other pills and then sat on the couch. Got woke up. around 10p with Mrs C wiping all the sweat off my head. All I know was it killed the pain to a dull pain i could tolerate. I ended up sleepin on the couch and did pretty well. Took the pills this am and went to work. I came home a little early but felt pretty good all day. They tell me that it will take almost a month to heal. I figure a couple of months back I actually cracked my rib with my coffin attack. Guess it hadn't healed properly and broke Sat. Hope it heals correctly this time!!! Midnight - So did they get your tanks in and drive cleaned up? Of to rest up a little. Catch Ya L8TR HOG!!!

Good morning HOG! Had a bad back since age 14. Sat up in my bed and something in my lower back moved. Became stooped over. My dad drove me to the hospital. Drs placed a sheet of plywood over the bed, strapped a rope w/a weight on it on my chin, had me lie down, and the weight was placed over the top of the bed. Ten days of torture. Lifetime of backaches. Have a lovely Catch 22 here. Lp tanks can not be delivered as my driveway is so muddy nothing can use it. Road is posted for a 12 ton limit. Want two 10 wheeler loads of gravel delivered and tail spread. 15 yards a load. Prefer two trips over 6 trips w/a six wheeler that'll cost more for trucken'. To find a six wheeler for hire this time of year is impossibe. Will have to wait 10 days to two weeks for the driveway to dry and the road limit to be removed. Have stalled Lowe's from delivering $4,000 worth of fixtures. Seemed everything happens at once. Have a wonderful day!

Howdy HOG,
Wow, what a lot of postings to read thru since my last visit ...
Such a busy time here in Thor-Land ...
Only 4 sleeps 'til the BIG DAY ... working on my Father-of-the-Bride Speech ...
Got the payment into the Wedding Venue last week ... glad to have that all done!
Got my Tux back from the tailor's ... I figure I bought that thing when I weighed about 30 lbs more, and it needed some big-time alterations ... I almost look slim in it now ...
Thorettini has been staying here in London with me since last week ... so far, for the Wedding : I have helped her pick/decide on her hair style( actually my input was 'That looks really good on you') ... helped her pick out a Wedding Band, which was a can of worms, but we finally bought one, sort of ... need to drop in tomorrow and finalize the choice ... after T-Thor gets here tonight so he can help with the decision helped with the Seating Plan for the Reception went in with her when she tried on the final fitting of the Wedding Dress ... and picked it up and listened intently as she discussed/ debated a great many enormously important decisions, like what gifts to get women who are standing up with her ... my input was an emphatic 'sounds good', or 'uh-huh'
And all the while MY life goes on ... 3 sets of Income tax were due on Monday ... major set of headaches from those ... 2 calls to the CRA, and 3 calls to my Broker ... still haven't had the call-back from the Brokerage Manager after the phone agent could not give me a satisfactory answer to a question about disposition of assets from an Estate! Sent the filing in with several notes attached, explaining my reasonings, and noting the lack of help from the broker. My guess is I'll get an Audit from the CRA sometime soon. Can only hope I did it right! I THINK I did. May make a proactive call to the CRA and ask if what I did was correct.
I started up 5-pin league bowling last Sept --Thursday Mens' Seniors' League -- after quitting about 35 or 35 years ago. Good news today at my very first Bowling Banquet since back in the day ... what a surprise! I got a plaque for most over my average for a triple a +172!! Also got an award for Most Improved Bowler ... raised my average 18 points from Sept to April . Had no idea that was coming.
The whole bowling season was a big frustration for me, as I used to actually be able to bowl, has an average north of 200 ... in both 5- and 10-pin leagues, and thought I could just pick it up where I left off so many years ago ... guess the old body just did not agree with that plan! lol
At any rate, I had many scores this year that were lower than any I had bowled in my life before ... although I very much enjoyed the camaraderie of the groups of old guys ... MY evaluation of my first year back was one of disappointment with my performance ... so I was VERY surprised by those awards ... especially since the league has 20 teams, and 96 bowlers in it.
Kinda looking forward to next season now!
Anyway, life's been pretty busy ...
Glad to see all the posts have continued while I've been busy ...
