Glad you are back BUDDY. Missed having you around. Hope Kim is now at peace and the rest of the family is well. All around here has been okay except for Wife Terry. She has come down with a very bad case of Carpal Tunnel in her right hand. Went to see hand specialist and all nerves are just about destroyed. Only recourse now is to have surgery that will lay her up for about 4 to 6 weeks. She goes back to Doctor on June 1st to get a surgery date scheduled ... Doctor says even after having the surgery there is no guarantee that the Carpal Tunnel will not return some where down the line. I have a good friend who worked for IBM as a computer programmer who had the same surgery and he told me he was fine for 10 years but then it came back and he had to have the same surgery all over again

Welcome back Chit!

Thanks guy's , i have been really busy since i got back , on top of dealing with all the legal stuff on all the stuff KIM'S mom left her , my yard looked like a rain forest ......      ....and my garden was starting to be taken over by weeds .

On a side note WE now own 2 houses overseas , 1 in JAPAN and 1 in GERMANY we are trying to sell , YEP her mom wanted us to have them even after we told her 8 years ago to sell them both , and boy oh boy what a mess trying to get them on the market legally , all kinds of paper work to file .....

From the look of the sky here i am about to get flooded .... it went from sunny to almost dark in just a few minutes , thundering in the back ground .......  .... it is so dark my security lights are on .......

I sure hope you had plenty of ICE COLD to help cool you off .... OHHHHHHHHHH bye the way I hope you are still growing those Atomic Tomatoes we use to talk about sending to Washington D.C. to kill off the House and Senate because those A$$holes are still screwing this country big time...... Democrats where in control and everything was wrong then.... Now Republicans have control and things are just as bad if not worse Like the old saying goes ... The more things change the worse they get

You know i had plenty of COLD ONES and of course i'm growing those Atomic Tomatoes .

Like i have always said BUD neither side gives a rats ass about the American people it's all about fattening their own bank accounts !!!!

I been laying around the house today and decided to go out and check my garden , my god what a blast of heat when i opened the door , i didn't even go out in the sun , i shut the door and looked out the window ...... !!!!

I'll check my garden after the sun starts going down ...

Happy Fathers Day Guy's !!!!

Hi Guys! Hope everyone is well. Been working off and on, as usual. Off right now but staying busy around the house. Been watching a lot of baseball, but counting the days until Steeler training camp starts here at the end of July!

Enjoy your time off , i'm like on i cant wait for football season to start !

Hey guys HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL.... Things around here could be a little better. Wife has been dealing with severe carpal tunnel in her right hand for about 3 months now. She was scheduled for surgery last Friday but complications came up when they found that she had 2 very bad teeth that were really loose and when they went to put her under her gums started to bleed bad. The Anesthesiologist was worried that either of the teeth could become dislodged and swallowed. The Hand Doctor had no choice but to call off the surgery until the 2 teeth can be extracted. Only problem is at this time she only has health insurance and my insurance at work does not come up for new enrollment until September 1st where I could get her put on a dental plan. Now until then she is gonna be living in complete pain because all her hand nerves are just about gone and the only thing that helps a little is over the counter liquid Motrin tablets and a special hand/wrist brace to keep her from using her hand. Her health insurance now comes from the Massachusetts Health Connector. Went online and she can get Dental Plan through them and is gonna start looking into getting it because it would start on August 1st 1 month earlier then my work plan. Only problem is it is $45.00 a month and then you still have a 50% co-pay up to $750.00 limit before insurance takes over the rest. Insurance companies in this country are worse then the BLOOD SUCKER LAWYERS/ DOCTORS

I totally agree Bud ......Insurance companies are making out like fat rats !

So much for affordable Insurance .....HUH

Hope everyone has a great 4th of July weekend. Lots of baseball, the Daytona night race, and the Gold medal game of the women's World Cup(USA! USA!) are on tap for the weekend. Enjoy!

Hey Sorry to hear this.... First thing I would do is check the neighbors and see if anyone doing any brick work. That might just narrow your search to find the A**Hole that did it and if you can make them get you a new mower or just cut off their NUTS as payback

I talked to my neighbor and he said there was a dump truck that came by with stuff falling out of the back , said he had to pick up stuff out of his driveway and yard , so my guess is that's where it came from .....by the way this neighbor has no children all grown and flew the coop .

Hey Fellas.... Got some really heart breaking news this Monday morning at work. One of our warehouse ( DOCK ) workers who we have all been working with side by side for the last 3 years was involved in a very bad accident Sunday morning. He was riding his bicycle like he does every Sunday to go to the store and get a few things he told his wife he would be back in 15 minutes. 45 minutes later a police officer shows up at his house and tells his wife he was involved in some sort of accident and was being transported to a local hospital with severe head injuries. They had to remove part of his skull ( in the back of his head ) to do an emergency operation to drain blood from his brain . He is now on life support but still has no brain activity. The doctors are waiting on his brother to get here Tuesday from Florida but it looks like it is only so he can see him before they take him off life support. Only 32 years old with twin 7 year old girls His wife has already asked us in the warehouse ( 1st shift ) to be his Pallbearers for the funeral I am not looking forward to this

Sorry to hear that Jos. Being so young and with such a young family makes it especially sad.

The Final end took place this afternoon at 1 P.M. After consulting with the Doctors his wife and brother made the decision to take him off life support and within a matter of 5 minutes he had passed on peaceful and no pain. If there is 1 thing possible that can  help come from this is he was a full organ donor and the doctors said outside of his Brain activity being shut down all his internal organs were all fine. So his Heart, Lungs, Kidneys were all removed and placed on a waiting list so maybe his tragic ending to life may just save someone else. GOD SPEED TO MY GOOD FRIEND

I am sorry to hear this Bud . I hope your friend R.I.P. !
Do they know how it happened yet?

Thanks Ivan.... Not one shred of news as to what happened. He left his house about 6:15 A.M. Sunday morning to take his normal Sunday bike ride and get some stuff from the local neighborhood corner store about half a mile from where he lived. Called his wife and said he be back in about 15 minutes. 45 minutes later the police show up telling her he was in some sort of a accident with severe head injuries being transported to local hospital. As of today no accounts in local newspaper about what happened no police log that we know of at this time. All I know is we are going to his wake on Friday from 4:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. and his funeral is Saturday morning at 8:00 A.M. To many things are not answered but we are all keeping our mouths closed for now out of respect for his wife and twin daughters. She may be the only one that knows the true story but all of us co-workers will try to find out what really happened that morning. The one thing that still does not sit well with all of us ( his co-workers ) is when we all went to see him in the hospital he had that major damage to the back of his skull where the internal bleeding was happening and the right side of his face was scared but no other injuries to hands,arms legs,or elbows...... It seems to all of us that if you are riding a bike in daylight and if you hit something or something hits you the first thing to hit the ground is not going to be the back of your head. Natural instinct would have you brace your self with hands,arms if going to the ground. Place in the city where he was it was not possible for him to be riding at a speed ( unless he was in the tour da france ) to cause as much head injury that he had. This whole thing sucks and stinks. But like I say us ( his close friends ) will bite our tongues for now and just see him laid to rest and celebrate the part of his life that we were all a part of for the last 3 years. still very
