    All those type rakes that I know of were originally made for horses to pull but as horses went out, some farmers converted them. We had 2 neighbors who had them but only one was converted. No, I never used one... Our rake was pulled with a tractor.

    Found out power was lost yesterday so 99 wanted to check out the house (spelled "sump pimp") Yup, the sump did overflow in the short while the power was out. Everything is drying now.....no biggie!

    Back to the cottage in a flash!

    I finally got my pulmonary functions test done last Thursday. Today I had an appointment to go over the results. COPD, moderate. That is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. I was doing Ok until Jan when I got ill with some virus. Neg. for flu. Then again in May, only that time I got pneumonia with CHF. Couldn't get the pulmonary functions test done until last week because everything was backed up due to "the bug" . They have prescribed a long acting inhaler that should help. Months and months of waiting for a test to get some results and a treatment. I got to tell you, for me 2020 sucks.

    I am so sorry! I hope the inhaler helps. That, and I am not a fan of PFT's, I wonder if the telephone booth and tubes take longer to clean since the bug?

    2020 is a year many of us would like to forget. Waiting that long for a test is unfair, to say the least. Hoping the inhaler works for you, Larry. Hang in there, 2021 is on the way. Can’t come quick enough.

    Well, it’s finally gone! Our son finally got that project car I told you about last month out of our garage. My wife and I couldn’t be happier. The frame and body was flat bedded away today and Thursday his buddy is picking up a lot of the extra body parts and two engines that he bought off our son. It’ll be nice to not have to wrangle the snowblower out every snowstorm and now the log splitter has a home out of the weather. I’m beside myself just coming up with ideas of what I can now do in there now. It’s been there over 15 years.

    Thats great. Like having a new garage. Im thinking there is no more storage at your place except for your own stuff.

    That was way too long in there! But, I have to admit that it takes but a few moments to fill it back up. At least this time it is your stuff and your priority. Good luck.

    I feel the same way about the wait. The test only took about 15-20 min. Done by one person. Why months on the waiting list is hard for me to understand. Started my RX today. I am hoping for some relief with it.

    No idea. Seems so much of it is disposable. The only part that is touched is the throw away mouth part. Seems like they could "fog" the booth and that should do it. So fed up with this year.

    No fire today. It was still 71 in the house this morning when I got up. Should be warm all of this week. Looks like next Tuesday before I have another fire.

    Your thinking is correct. The shed was packed to the gills so now I have options.

    Thanks. Thirty years of accumulation and there’s never enough space. It should be good for a while, at least.
