Once everyone has had a chance to be vaccinated, I don't care what anyone does. It's ON each of us then.

Since I never served (many times, especially as I got older, wished I had) I have no experience with the VA, but like most I've heard a lot of stories.
One....my wife's SIL is in the reserves. He's been going to a number of doctors within the VA for the last month. All kinds of tests. Was told that he definitely has liver cancer. Then they scheduled a MRI. Evidently it showed nothing (no tumors I guess). So...more tests. Again told him that in spite of the MRI that he has liver cancer.
I would think (not a doctor but have a number in the family) that if you tell someone they have cancer that you would know for sure, know exactly where/what, and plan a possible treatment.
As of now he has all his test results, etc and is going to get another opinion outside of the VA. His insurance is all screwed up being that he's reserve, and has private insurance...but for some reason he can't use it due to VA. Don't ask me....I have no clue why.
My nephew is what they call a 'hi tech doctor'. One of his specialties is liver cancer. Would love it if our SIL lived close so he could go to my nephew, or probably someone he would recommend. But, he doesn't live even close.
So, we'll see....and continue praying.
I am not smart enough to understand that. The "it's one each of us then"; I do not know what that means.
I am not being nasty, but I simply don't know what that means.
So, small piece of good news today. I bought my wife a fairly expensive (roughly $1,000) piece of furniture she'd been coveting for a long time for her recent birthday.
When it was delivered I noticed a small chip, They offered to send a technician out to repair it, and give me a discount. I said okay. The technician came out and said, "It can't be repaired."
So, I get a brand new one, plus a 40 percent discount.
That's all I got.
As for the vaccine, I got one so I could visit my aging parents without worrying as much about making them sick.

I have not had much luck with the Army doctors, they left me with a severely broken hand for 7 days because of the lack of doctors to operate. Just kept me splinted with enough pains pills to last me until they could get to me. An Army dentist left a broken file in one of my roots from a root canal. After retiring and having problems with it I went to a civilian dentist who found the problem. But I still have to use Reynolds Army Hospital until 65 unless I use the VA so, here I am at this point using the VA.
Good afternoon D, still trying to recover from truck lag! Got the yard mowed, 83 here in the Berg!!!!
Looks like a fish fry in the near future!
Wish I hadn't ordered those Pontiac tail lights, now everyone thinks I'm a nut!!!
I hope the D has a great day and Prayers for the D!!!!

Now you know how they got the nicknames "rectum rockets" and "belly bombers".
For some reason, I feel a year older than I did yesterday.
After reading again me thinks he meant to post "It is on each of us then" meaning what happens to us is our own responsibility.
Happy Birthday? I am having to play a Dick today.
You know the old Military saying, when I got home the second thing I did when I got home was put my suit case down, The first thing I did was put the Trout in the freezer!!!!!
Didn't makes sense to me either. It's a typo. Sorry. Should be "ON each of us".
Happy Birthday young man!
I will feel that way tomorrow.
Happy Birthday. Wishing you many, many more.
So I guess a couple of Happy Birthday well wishes are in order.
Hey have a great Birthday!!
Been one of those weeks.
Now it is a nice night for some Marcus King

I want to wish you the best with your birds. I share your appreciation of squab dishes. I know Peregrines prefer hunting over water. Nest on cliffs, bridges, and tall buildings. Do you plan routes to avoid those? Do racers fly slower decoy birds? There may be 75% 1st year mortality among the falcons but I imagine a flock of 3 or 4 spring fledglings practicing cooperative hunting a disaster.
The Rock Dove is an attractive Columbiform. Still it's considered a pest by many.
Pardner, you post whatever floats your boat.

Get my 2nd this week. I don't believe I kneed one but want to travel without do-gooder harassment.
We had a 98° high on Easter.
I thought that too!

Good morning from ATX. Currently 65°F, clear and windy. Front came in. Expect today's high reaching 83°F.
Wife fell asleep and left the channel on MeTV. A Beverly Hillbillies episode just finished and another started. Series writers seemed really imaginative back then. Watched a Green Acres episode last night. Classic stuff.
Chores on the agenda after a morning walk. Must take a load of cans to recycling center.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good Morning D Leaguers
We are starting the day with plenty of sunshine and a temperature of 66°. Our high will hit 83° by 3:00 PM. No chance of rain until this evening when it will be 72%.
My TV watching for quite some time now does not include any network TV. I actually got rid of cable and stream. Sometime back we started watcing Britbox and enjoy it. Last night we saw the last episode of Morse which was a popular detective show over there for years. I will miss the old guy and hated to see him take his last breath on the final episode.
I trust all have a nice day and if you are ailing I pray you get better.

Howdy D-League. Foggy and cool in the east. Was out by 5:30 am, and got a long hike accomplished. Taking it easy for awhile then I guess I'll attend to the weekend chores.
I hope everyone has a restful Saturday.

Dang Miss a day, miss a lot.
Rainy day today. I may stimulate the economy this morning. Make a few raised garden beds...
Maybe buy a new push mower also, just a semi cheap one tho. No self propelled.
Happy Birfdays
Just dropping by...nothing of value.
Bert I don't think this is the "black pepper" Girthang was talking about...?

It is a rainy day and 62.2°F on our way up to a whopping 67°.
I think I missed UK Fan 41102's birthday. So happy birthday young man.
I was watching Fox news this morning and they said that the NCAA final game 16.9 million down 14% from 2019.
Quote from CNBC:
"This year’s game was the least-watched championship aired on CBS since the network started broadcasting the games in 1982. It’s also the lowest since WarnerMedia property Turner Sports aired the game in 2018, after CBS and Turner began switching every other year in 2016. That game, between Villanova and the University of Michigan, drew roughly 16.5 million viewers."
I get the idea that the Social Justice Warriorings going on in colleges are beginning to take it toll. They can only preach the same sermon for so long before people turn it off.

Good morning!
About an hour after I posted yesterday my shoulder was fine. Took a few Ibuprofen and an extra hot shower. I let the water hit it for a while and kept rotating it and lifting my arm above my head and the pain just went away. Played 36 holes yesterday and it feels fine this morning.
Happy Birthday!
I'm not going to play any today but I'd say the odds are high that I'll watch a bunch of it. I'm glad I got to go there one time but I don't really feel a need to go back. Several things surprised me about Augusta National. The enormous fairways, the roughs that looked like fairways I'm used to seeing, and the prices for beer and food. Got a hot dog and a beer and they were $1.50 apiece. This was around 2000 or so and I would assume the prices are the same today.

Bom Dia,
- Belated Happy Birthday.
- Old man ailments and the like
- On Wednesday, my Arrhythmia (Afib and Aflutter) went Bat Crap Crazy in the evening. Heart rate shot to about 175-180 and stay high for almost three hours. Nothing new for me, but it has not hit like that in a while.
- I have a Loop Monitor in my chest, so I would say my electrophysiologist and cardiologist had a good read when they got in to work in the morning.
- The first time that it hurt in a while.
- It seems to be doing better now but still getting double beats a bit.
- It is just a pain in the butt. Well, a bit north of that. But you get the point. lol
- The condition does not scare me; it just takes the wind out of my sails for a bit.
- I got the yard mowed and cleaned up and laundry caught up, and I think once the rain starts, it will be a movie/computer day.
Hmmmm ... I wonder if this explains why attendance dropped so rapidly in the churches I served.
How does this work?
Have friends in Peru. She and a friend (or maybe relative) are coming to Texas to get the vaccine.
I'm sure we've given millions of doses around the world to other countries (like foreign aid...always give with nothing in return).....but wouldn't the vaccine here in this country be for U.S. citizens?
Hope y'all are have a great Saturday. Not doing much of anything today. Was supposed to start raining but it hasn't got here yet...but I think it's getting close.
