    Me?
    No. But to be honest, I think either someone else did,
    or he moved. Have not had the odor issue for some time now.
    I don't even have the trap out now..

    They move their home base every once in a while. There is a skunk in my area that comes around every couple of months, stays for a while, then moves on. Or at least I assume it is the same skunk - not going to try to get close to it for a formal introduction ;). Going by the stripes, I've had a couple of different skunks in this territory since I started living here. Only once saw babies as they were meandering down the middle of the road one early morning - I drove around the (very short) block so as not to disturb them.

    All blood pressure meds are no more booze for the taker of said meds. So I try to make due with zero brews but I's a bad bear.

    Just to let everyone know the bear got careless and did not pay attention to where he was planting his fat azz, it cost me big time and rehab is a jail within a prison for a long shanked male.

    The stroke left me with a weak left side and of course that was the side I fractured my hip on add the two and get a long rehab. They thought (insurance company and Cedars both) short stay in and out they didn't get the connection.

    Looks like you were away over 2 months. I don't know how you survived it. My week in the hospital was more than enough for me. I won't complain about anything other than the hard bed. The staff was good, food was OK but not what I would like. (restricted cardiac diet) But that is behind you now, and if you behave, maybe a long time before you have to go back. So enjoy your being at home as best you can. Nice to sleep in your own bed and use your own facilities.

    The first month was mostly sleeping. They try to use drugs to keep the pain level down so one can tolerate putting weight on the "injured" side and speed things up, most drugs don't have the desired effect on me so while I had no pain, body said nope and came along at its' own rate which was in bursts. Drove the PT staff bonkers,I finally had my wife bring my walker in,then I could walk(sort of). Went from around ten feet to 125' the first 4 days. The place is geared toward the typical old little lady resident (hall railing too low, bed too short, etc ..... No place for this bear. The PT folks would still have me there if I hadn't been a bad bear and walked up the stairs and down the other side etc ... boy did they move fast. We will not discuss the hospital's bright decision to straight cath me, Larry man parts should never be black and blue.

    Well, In my time in the military, I've seen many black and blue Junk, but not from passing a cath. I've passed hundreds of them with never a black or blue. Bruising is from trauma. Ouch!
    I was wondering how you would do with the stairs. If I recall, you computer is downstairs in your home. If, now just if, you need a stair left chair, consider getting off the net. I recently gave away two of them in perfect condition. Brand new, they are half price on the net. My son install both of mine in about two hours. They need to be measured properly when they are ordered. Then it is just a matter of bolting them down and plug them in. For me, staying of one floor was the best option. No stairs at all. I hate falling to the floor or down the stairs.

    I have to charge the fire tablet to have 4 systems and enter my password on the wife's gizmo to have 5 systems. There is an I7 4770 in the downstairs closet which could be system 6, I don't think FHC and the browser on my LG get along.

    Top 10 day brewing here. Perfect for outside chores followed by beers and a nap in the hammock.

    Bear....GOOD to see you are doing much better.
    Hospitals or other facilities just suck.. for sure.

    Back in 2013 when I had my left Kidney out, they said 7-10 days in that place .....

    Went in Monday April 1st at 5 am and walked out at 11 am on the 3rd.

    On the 4th I was wrenching on the small pellet stove...

    Doc called to make sure I was behaving......Told him I was relaxing..:rofl: :lol:

    Well I was having a great time... :yes:

    A few weeks later I was in for a check up and THEN told the Doc I had been tearing the stove apart when he called.... He turned very pale .....he got over it...

    It is very hard to just do nothing for sure..

    Be safe and mend well....
