Hey Austin glad everything was ok/. Question The moment they removed a polyp the insurance company will declare it surgical procedure. So it's no longer a free check up that they offered, it's surgery and out of pocket is about 2K. That happened to me and the wife. We had to call it off. Will your company do the same? Just curious. FCC.
Good question. Humana-Tricare will cover for us, I believe. Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

Last year I had a routine colonoscopy and the doc found a polyp and removed it. His report said it was pre-cancerous. I have Humana Advantage (PPO) insurance and it was covered under their plan.
 
Blood work done. Grabbing a bite to eat. I checked my loquat tree a few minutes ago and it is loaded with fruit. I wish my mother was alive and here to make some jams and preserves. Loquats are a hidden gem.

I have never heard of them.

Are they sweat or bitter? Citrus?
 
Back from colonoscopy and endoscopy. Positive results. Couple polyps removed.

This whole thing scared the hell out of me because I had blood in my stool for over a month.

Finally eating. Life is good.
Bless you Austin.

Now get your tear ducts ready. Even though your mom is old and her passing maybe positive for her, the loss of your mom is rough. My mom had been in a nursing home for 6 years and I went to see her and to love on her a couple times a week. I was relieved when she went because there was nothing left but a body.

But it soaked in, Mae was gone, and old Bert had lost the one person in life who would lie, steal and do nearly anything for her boy. 18 years later and I miss her and love her more than ever.

Mothers are special people.

So, you are in my thoughts. Tell everyone the good stories and describe the white house you grew up in and all the good stuff.

Thanks for asking Bert. This is a very common fruit tree in our area with most of the people near me growing them. The funny thing about that is many people in Florida are transplants and have no idea what kind of tree they have. So they just leave them to the birds. A loquat gets 15 to 20 feet in height or maybe a little higher. I understand the origin is the Far East, China and Japan) but they are spread all over the world in subtropical regions. Texas grows them as do most of the Southeastern states. California does too and probably Arizona.

The fruit is one of very high nutrient value and it has a sweet / tart flavor. The peeling is like an apple and I would say the meat inside reminds me of a peach. The seeds are very large. They are used in fruit salads or you can eat them right off of the tree. Or you can can them like any fruit and make jellies and jams. They are evergreen with flowers showing up in the fall or early winters months and they are ripe about the time of year through the Spring. The aroma is very sweet. Like most fruit you can make wine out of it which I understand is very popular in China and Japan.

Man, that sounds pretty good.....speaking of Asian far east, have you ever tried to grow Lychee fruit? I wonder if it would do well in your area.
 
Home sweet home! Went to the golf course today to play around a little and figured I'd just go out and find an open hole to practice some chipping and putting. Ran into some guys and ended up playing the back nine with them. Then played the front nine with two of them. And then five more holes with one of them and his wife. Didn't keep score but I had 4 birdies and only one double bogie. Hit the ball well for being off so long.

We don't like to admit this but it is true for most of us as we watch them decline. I don't want my family hanging on to me when it's time for me to go

Oh yes it is super good. I attended a family reunion in Clearwater last year and one of my cousins brought in a crate of them from his tree. It was the hit of the whole reunion. My wife loved them. He gave all of us a large sack of them.

Lychee was one of my absolute favorite things to eat during my trips to Southeast Asia. About the only place I can find it around here is in an Asian market or maybe a WholeFoods type of store. Most folks around here where I live have no clue about this awesome fruit. Maybe I need to talk to the manager of my neighborhood Publix to get some up here.....

That would be a good start. They try to find products customers like.
 
Good morning D. I already promised my son I'd come to Lexington to celebrate with him if the Cats win it all so I'm in for the D-League hootenanny.

I've never been in the Bluegrass when the Cats won it all. 1978 was my first year out of college and I was living in Miami. For all the others I've been in the DC area.
 
Well D-League I am back! Pissing blood and pellets right now!!!!! 3 Days in the hospital is enough for me!!!!!!! Took me to surgery yesterday, the doctor sat down looked at me and said man you have a kidney boulder, but I am going to try and bust it up for you!!!!!! Just going to set back and relax today!! To those that have loss loved ones praying for you!!! Oh and I came hope with no strings attached, some will know what I mean! LOL
 
Good morning D-League

Currently 63°F with a high of 73° forecast. We had a light rain yesterday and over night which was nice because I put out 150 lbs of magnesium around some palm trees and the rain soaked it in real good. I have 34 very tall sabal palms in my yard and they need trimming. My time for climbing high ladders has passed so I will hire it out.

I read where our lack luster effort against Arkansas may knock us out of a #1 seed. I expected that because we didn't look like a 1 seed Tuesday night. Tennessee squeezed by Ole Miss last night and they will be ready for us Saturday. Just win baby.

Have a nice day, stay safe and Go Cats.
 
42.1°F and cloudy. I sure enjoyed the four days of sunshine.

I watched UT and Ole Miss last night. Tennessee are a lucky bunch. I watched most of the Florida versus Vandy game and it looks like Vandy may not get a win this season in the SEC.

I guess that LSU is the only team that can control it destiny to win the SEC. The SEC must look at improving the unbalanced schedules. LSU gets to win the SEC because they did not have to play any of the better teams twice. Of course early last summer no one knew that Florida and Auburn would hit the skids.
