Damned if I know who comes up with shit like this.

The best yer gonna get from me is me telling ya I gotta take a dump.

End of lesson.

I have had some severe health problem crop up over the weekend and I still have eye surgery today. I may not post for a few days as my left eye will be patched and my other health concerns are addressed. Thank you for your understanding.

UPDATE: I am home after eye surgery, the optho surgeon had to access my eye in two different places to remove the vitreous detachments and I am now wearing a eye patch, just call me Redbeard, the porch pirate… I will be wearing the patch for about a week and have another appointment next Monday to remove the sutures he placed, 24 in total.

My other health concern is I have one kidney, my left. My right kidney never developed past a certain size and it was removed two years ago. Now, my Left is failing, it is down to 29% efficiency, which means I will be on dialysis when a spot opens up… yeah. There is a turnover and he expects me to be able to start in two weeks, welcome to socialized medicine. I can alleviate that by driving to Portland three times a week, at least a four hour drive. The doc is putting me on a strict diet and I have to go cold turkey on coffee, that is going to be difficult! I explained to the doc this morning on the phone, he called me and I have an appointment tomorrow besides, I explained coffee keeps me from strangling people and keeps me socially acceptable. Suck on pebbles he retorted… I have a cool doc!

Crap, your blog hosts are falling apart in real time in front of ya.

In the 10 years from when I was 19 and got my first rig to when I was 29 years old, I either wrecked or completely totaled 29 vehicles, 3 times what this says is the lifetime average.

I have literally owned so many cars, trucks, vans and motorcycles that I can’t remember them all anymore.

The Briden-Roen Sawmill in Rollag Minnesota.

I can tell you right now, every swingin’ dick working in this sawmill is a better man than I am.

Apparently it runs on 3 antique Case steam engines and as you can plainly see, one of those is still in a functioning tractor.

I have no words.

Holy Sheeeeeit.

Turn the volume down and watch until the end.

I drove myself up to the vascular surgeon’s office yesterday so they could pull 26 staples out of my groin and leg.

I also found out that giant sore on the bottom of my foot has finally healed up even though it is still tender as hell.

A little TMI for ya.

Then I had to stop on the way back and put some gas in the Big Red Beastie at $4.79 a fucking gallon. I put $40 in it and called it good, I’m not going anywhere anyway.

After that I had to stop and pick up some fucking pills before I could come home..

Speaking of pills, my Primary Doctor’s office called me 3 days ago to inform me that according to some blood tests from 3 weeks ago, I am now Pre-Diabetic and asked me if I would like to start taking another pill.

I take 12 fucking pills now every morning. I thanked them for the info and declined. We shall work on some dietary changes first, thankyouverymuch.

As it is, all I want to do is sleep all the time.

It never fucking ends.

In some Good News, I got woke up by a text from my son this morning informing me that we are Grandparents again. His wife had a baby girl this morning.

Very cool.

This guy dares to tread where no one else will.
