Good morning. It's 82° with 85% humidity. Maybe I won't get soaked from just going outside. The high will be 90°. Cloudy with a fair chance of thunderstorms.

Didn't have any problems with the pizza yesterday. So far problem foods are smoked sausage, beans, olives.

Looks like I need to get a new mouse. Mine is double clicking and cross clicking. The gas tank select switch on the truck broke yesterday. broke right out of it's mount. Right now I have it temporarily secured in place. I think I should get some epoxy and glue it back where it belongs then put a small bag of expanding foam behind it to keep it pressed into it's place. Got some bills to pay today and the grocery shopping needs to be done. I also need a new tip for my cane.

Well I've gotten quite a bit done so far today. Picked up some stuff I needed at Wal-Mart including a new USB optical mouse and a stick of moldable epoxy. Kneaded that up and packed it in around the tank select switch in the truck. When it dries it'll be hard as a rock! Right now it's light blue in color but later I can use a black permanent marker to color it black like the trucks dash. Gonna hold off on the grocery shopping til tomorrow. I'll have my SNAP money then (gee, a whole $32). I'll go by the loan office and pay make my payment there too. Other things done today are I got a new tip for my cane, got my meds refilled. Went by bank and let them know in no uncertain terms that their ATM's were NOT working yesterday, a totally unsatisfactory situation. One always displayed that it was down for maintenance and the other one didn't work at all. It wouldn't even recognize my cards. I should've told them I should bill them for the inconvenience.

Re: The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!! - Running Bear - 09-02-2014

Got the new mouse plugged in and working. A huge improvement over the old one. I also got a PS2 to USB adapter to use on a keyboard I had stored in the closet. I didn't know if the keyboard worked or not. It doesn't so it's going out in the trash tomorrow. A real shame too because it's a really nice keyboard. Got my new SNAP card today so I called the local office and set my PIN number on it. I also made a black and white label of the card number and applied it to the front of the card. Why would I do that? Being color blind could have something to do with it. The card has a lot blue shades on it. Checked my staples today and found a couple of the sites were weeping. So I very carefully clipped those staples and removed them. One was already loose on one end so clipping it wasn't required. Got me pill caddy all loaded up for the week ahead. I have some empties to call in to the docs office for refills. The repair to the tank select switch in the truck is holding very well. It's much more secure than it was with my nephews 'let's not try too hard' drywall screw repair that he'd used previously. I thought about using that but it's too much like putting a band-aid on a broken leg. Hence the use of the use of the epoxy stick. It seemed today like he was gonna pop off with something about the extensive use I'm making of the truck and I was so ready to bury him with the maintenance and gas receipts and tell him when he's paying for all of that he can tell me how to use it. Until then, sit on it! He very wisely decided to keep his mouth shut.

That's it for today. See y'all tomorrow.

Good morning. It's 70° with 100% humidity. The high will be 92°, cloudy with a slight chance of thunderstorms.

Just checked my SNAP account balance. $37 and change. That's almost a bad joke. Not a lot but it's enough. Some people call it welfare. Down here it's called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. I get SSI so they cut the SNAP way back! Now for things I need. I have four packs of chimichangas in the freezer and part of a thawed pack in the fridge. So, don't need any of those. They are $3 and change per pack so my usual three packs would be close to $11. Money that can be used to get something else. I can tolerate chili (no beans) so I'll get some of that. Sandwich meat, cheese and some lettuce would be good too. Also need mustard. No olives! Olives are a definite no-no for me as are beans. Haven't tested rice yet. That'll come soon. I have no problem whatsoever with popcorn and pizza. Chocolate (Kit-Kat) passed the test yesterday as did Dr Pepper. Coco-Cola is good too as is tea. Sooner or later tomatoes are going to need to be tested. In recent years they've served as a good laxative. I was told it was because of my gall bladder trouble. I hope that's true because I really like tomatoes. I don't know yet how I'll do with bread. That'll be today. Can't be any worse than the result of olives. I hope!
time to get out to Wal-Mart and do the shopping. Early morning so it'll be cool and there won't be many people there. Should be easy to get a handicap space close to the store.

The sky is falling..!!

Re: The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!! - ezdays - 09-03-2014

Good morning, we're looking at some rain here as well starting tonight. It can be anywhere from a 10% to 80% chance, depending on who you're listening to and when. You sometimes wonder about these TV "meteorologists", until you find that someone can get a degree in "broadcast meteorology". Meaning that they are taught how to read charts and graphs, but more importantly, how to look like they know what they're talking about in front of the camera. I am impressed with one thing though, they all seem to do a great job in front of those green screens. They always seem to be able to point to the right thing, even though there's nothing there for them to point at but a green sheet. Yeah, they have at least three TV monitors to guide them, but regardless, they make it look easy.

Got some grocery shopping done this morning. I don't seem to have a problem with cheese. Tomorrow lunch will consist of ham and cheese on Ritz crackers. Got a doc appointment at 10:45 in the morning. He won't have to take out any staples. None to take out. The sites were pretty sensitive and red last night and there was drainage from them that was getting me concerned. So I checked the incisions very carefully to make sure they were healed shut then very carefully snipped the staples in the middle and gently removed them. Took about an hour and a half. The sites were very sore at first but now can't feel them at all. Called the doc and let him know what I did. He says it sounds good and he can clean up the sites tomorrow, no problem. The drainage may have been the start of an infection. Seems I can almost get one these days by thinking about it. The sites are very neatly dressed and taped.

Re: The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!! - ezdays - 09-04-2014

Good morning folks, here we are on the downside of Hump Day and heading into another weekend. We did have a tinkle of rain last night, I got a "thunderstorm" alert from the Weather Channel just a bit ago, but so far nothing. Rain is coming though, starting at 10% and building to 100% by late Sunday. I surprised that they didn't give themselves a bit of an out by announcing "98% chance", so I guess they're pretty sure it's going to rain on Sunday.

I'm putting together the voting polls for the challenges that ended on Monday. I should have them posted before the weekend. Please vote, the people that entered deserve the recognition for their efforts... Cheers

Good Morning Blue
Sun and 79, 80s for the afternoon.
Internet and cable were out this morning so I cut the grass. Cable is still out.
oops the box just lit up.
Can't say what's on my mind, so I shall just go with good day.

Good afternoon. It's 88° with 60% humidity. The high will be 95° with a small chance of rain.

Went to see the doc this morning. He was very favorably impressed with the job I did removing the staples and he confirmed that I headed off an infection. He got news back on the liver biopsy. The cirrhosis could be due to one of two things. He doesn't know which yet. Option A: I could have contracted hepatitis C from my mother (she contracted it many years before I was born) and became immune to it or option B: I could have had a condition known as Nonalcoholic
Steatohepatitis or NASH. I'm no lightweight. At one time I weighed over two hundred sixty pounds for an extended period. He's going to send me to a liver specialist for an examination. My liver is working properly and isn't displaying any danger signs.

Nothing planned for today so I guess I'll be watching TV.

Tomorrow I have plans to pack up my camera and tripod and go The Veterans Plaza in town and photograph every wall and monument on the site. The names listed there are of US veterans, living or dead from or living in Vernon Parish. My name is among them. My parents names are listed there as well. My family and I, along with many others contributed funds to have the park built. It's located in downtown Leesville. It's free and is open to the public.
