What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Got my uncle a little further along today. Cleaned up one trail that had a couple blow downs from last year. Pile on the right is red maple, bigtooth Aspen on the left.

 

Have you ever been diagnosed? I have BPPV every few months, crystals in the inner ear, classic symptoms are a ratcheting sensation, specific head movements can help get the crystals out and stop the vertigo.

 

We have a spot called “height of Maine”. Basically it’s a small mountain but a huge valley below and a river. There are mountains in the far distance. Every time I look over it I get dizzy and almost go down. My eyes play really weird tricks on me. I just don’t go there

 

Small herd at work tonight. There’s been times I’ve gone out and seen 2 dozen grazing on the lawn. They’re so used to people that usually you can get within 20 feet of them before they start to get spooked. A half mile up the road is a hunting area; it’s got to be the easiest deer hunting in the whole state.

 

There’s a dozen in open hunting ground.

 

Been busy as a beaver. Outdoor activities at full swing trying to get as much done while things are dry before the rains come. Outdoor chicken pen increased in size with bird netting over the top installed. My handy neighbor completed most of this with me getting supplies. A couple older gates re-hung on new P.T. 4x4 post installed in concrete 4’ in the ground. Some horse fencing fixed. Some new horse feeders built by Amish for the spoiled ones hung up in barn stalls. Another long one being built for outdoors. And some other boring yard work. I hope all you hoarders are doing well!

 

I could look at maps for hours. When you look at a satellite view of the lower Mississippi River, you can see for hundreds of miles how the course of the river changed over time. Old oxbows became cut off and turned into lakes, or drained completely and the fertile soil converted to farmland. If you zoom in you can see in places how thousands of trees were planted in perfect rows to keep the newly exposed soil from eroding. In a lot of places the course of the river moved several miles from its previous course. An aerial view paints a very interesting picture of the history of the river. I'll bet you could find a lot of fossils in fields where the river used to flow. Maybe even the rotted remnants of very old boats that sank in different places.

 

Horrid day yesterday. Went to the doctor for my knee injection. When to use the men's room at the doctors office before being seen for my appointment. Was adjusting my clothing and tipped forward, not able to stop myself, came down on my knees and twisted my right shoulder, came to an abrupt stop as my head smashed and broke the sheetrock wall . Wall not able, nor allowed to attempt to get up. There I was in all my glory. They called rescue. 4 men came and lifted me back up on my feet. I felt so humiliated. I sure picked a good place to have a fall. My head, shoulder and knees all hurt a lot today. Looking back, I was using my cane. Had I had my walker I think I could have prevented the fall. Getting old ain't for sissies.

 

Wow, horrid indeed. As bad as that whole experience must've been, it sounds like it could've been a lot worse. That's a whole lot of things going wrong all at once. Glad you're still with us.

 

Chit happens Larry...Good your back in action.

 

No,, that doesnt sound like a good day.. Only good thing was you broke the sheetrock between the studs. I guess you still need to go back for your shot. Glad you didnt break something.

 

Have a Happy Birthday PelletHound !

savemoney hey first don’t be embarrassed about needing help you could call for assistance every day for rest of your live and STILL have a credit in that account!

second if you change a few small details that is a teenager story. High school got fight in bathroom my head got shoved through a wall. It took four of my buddies to pull me off that jerk.(named gravity)

 

Tough day indeed! Hope you're doing better today!

That being said I have to ask.

I've got to do some wall demo in the basement, Are you able to help take the drywall down?

Sorry, couldn't resist. Have a good one.
