If I had to come back to earth I'd be blessed to be their puppy.

Here is what I was talking about in the past about my medical experiences with the army med staff. Because I am turning 65 on the first of August, I received my packages in the mail from the SS office informing me I had to choose a plan with Medicare and if I did not, they would automatically enroll me in parts A, and B. OK I let them choose. Next, I get a package from RACH (Reynolds Army Community Hospital) which I had to use after retiring from the military because it was cheaper for TRICARE for me to use. Now that I am eligible for Medicare, they say I have to use a doctor off post (gladly). In their packet they give me a timeline for preparing to change my status for the move. First, I must get a copy of my medical records for my new doctor so, I go there today and ask for a copy. The receptionist says: "Fill out this form and leave us a phone number and address where we can send them to you when we have them ready". I ask: "Can't I just pick them up here? I don't want them sent through the mail". She says: "You would have to pick them up the day we called" I said: "I am not going anywhere so, OK."
Next, I go to the records section of Ft. Sill (as instructed) and wait in line to see one of the records clerks and when they see me, they want two forms of ID even though they know me personally (by name) because I used to work in the same building and talk with them every day for years. After that they tell me that I now have an appointment to see a clerk on Monday the 13th to change my DEERS (Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System) from Tricare Prime to Tricare for Life. That generally is free unless you have other people under 65 in the house who are on Tricare. Both wife and daughter are so, payments won't change (what's the point). Now for me, Tricare becomes secondary and Medicare primary. When that appointment is finished, they will make me another appointment to come back and make a new ID card to reflect my new status at the very same station.
Won't go into the other things I need do; it would take too long.

Hot toddy maybe?I'd drink too but I am too sick to fathom it. May help me but I am still doped up so I better not... Drink another for me.
Isn't mandatory during golf excursions?
So, you smelled the alcohol. Impressive. Now start smoking a joint and post me.
Happy Anniversary!!Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F and cloudy. High today expected around 102°F. Triple-digit heat continues and summer has not officially begun. Go figure.
Received first central heat and AC bid yesterday from Sears Home services. $12,600. Three more bids expected. Price is not surprising.
Pup's liver enzyme's are a little high. Picking her up some pills soon. Hope she's with us for a little while longer.
24th wedding anniversary today.
Happy Hump Day.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.
Feel better soon!I'd drink too but I am too sick to fathom it. May help me but I am still doped up so I better not... Drink another for me.
I got some quotes for updating my electrical panel so I AM drinking. Really wasn't as bad as I thought. Expensive but long overdue.
My dope is legal brudder. We don't be doing that left-handed stuff.

Tornado watch until 10 PM tonight. Nothing much on the radar right now. I guess it could change. Windy but not threatening. Will call Auntie Em later to get an update.
I type fast.
When I read this I stopped and thought for a bit. I don't know if there is any better compliment a man can give.
I had 2 beers on the course but that was 3 hours before I posted.
Not the same as your electrical job, but currently the work load has amped up for me on the gutter job. Tomorrow I'll be alternating between removing an extending awning and standing directly on top of the porch on corrugated steel to clean off some limbs. Oak trees generate a lot of limbs.
I hope you start to getting better. This is the second day.I'd drink too but I am too sick to fathom it. May help me but I am still doped up so I better not... Drink another for me.
Did she really do it? Sounds like she might have. Of course if you turn the volume up loud enough....
It is Sir, hit me all of a sudden.
I had the pleasure of hearing her in person once ..
I just went on a tangent with my leadership. (I thought I was professional, even though I was hacking and coughing.))
How in the world can newer technology cause longer lag times for service. The only reason is the miss-application and miss-structuring of technology.
There almost has to be ulterior motives. Let that sink in...
Albert Speer inspecting Wehrmacht troops in 1943? No! Richard Nixon reviewing Afghan troops during 1950s.

Man that looks shopped so I searched... apparently not...shopped. Whoa -S. Palin
Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F and mostly cloudy in North Austin. Today's high expected around 100°F. Yesterday, we only hit 97°F. Seemed comparatively cool during my afternoon walk.
Precision Heating and Air coming out at 8:30 am and installing a new 2.5-ton Lennox central heat and air unit. Signed contract yesterday. Wife worried current unit might fail.
Heat so severe lately Cap Metro putting limits on MetroRail speeds. Speed limit now 50 MPH rather than normal 60 MPH because rails expanding so much from heat.
Working from home today because of virus outbreak at the office. Pup gonna be happy, especially with AC folks walking around.

The BB's favorite thing is strawberry's. He eats them almost every meal for his desert. He'd eat them for a meal if we'd let him.
Good Morning all,
Early to bed, early to rise... cause a man's coughing and hacking, and that is no lie. I am thankful though and am feeling okay other than that. (Thank you all the well wishers.) I will stay doped up as long as it takes. Wearing my back brace due to pulling my rib again due to coughing. Yeah the rib that darned dog of my daughters caused me to break over three years ago.
Oh well, I have a bunch to do today, I thought it was training, training, training but I have three unannounced meetings today. I am working hard but the chair is sturdy. I'm good,
All please have a great day!

Good morning from the Nature Coast D League
Another June day.
Another June day.
This may be one of the most sensible posts I have read in a long time. Bertfan31 understands
Keep on improving BBUK, our prayers are with you. It is too nice of a day to feel bad. God bless.
Good morning D-League. I hope all is well. Warming up in the east. I have a feeling our days of cool, clear no humidity days are pretty much over.
Just finished a big project at work so things are a bit looser right now, so that’s good.
My son’s home from Lexington. Has a summer job with a contractor. But last night he had some time so we watched the NBA Finals game and cheered on the Celtics while marveling at Curry’s skill.
Hope it’s a good day for everyone.

Today's weather forecast shows a current temperature of 73° with some fluffy clouds floating through the sky. We should get up to 87° and there is a 30% chance of rain this afternoon. Typical day for this time of year. The Gulf is calm the way we like it.
So gas prices. Yesterday a station near me had dropped regular gas from $4.75 to $4.63 but raised diesel 10 cents. Who knows where this merry-go-round ends. Our nation's leadership has a plan which has resulted in a record high most every day. And up and up we go.
Someone from Kentucky sent this to me, I think it is a station near Richmond because that is where they live. I don't think U.S. 27 goes through Richmond though. Congrats for joining the $5.00 club. We will be there soon.
Trust all are well or improving. Looking at you @BBUK. And prayers for Star Chief and others who may need a touch.

Odd photo. Makes you wonder about the back-story. A wild guess: The Soviets were currying favor with the Afghan government and gave them a bunch of German gear captured after the Red Army overran much of Germany. That stuff looks almost WW ONE in vintage, or Spanish Civil War. I'm not enough of an expert to say.Albert Speer inspecting Wehrmacht troops in 1943? No! Richard Nixon reviewing Afghan troops during 1950s.
I saw odd military surplus weaponry popping up during my correspondent days. The Haitians had a bunch of M1-Garands and I saw those used at close range -- including a few Lavalas supporters of deposed President Bertrand Aristide gunned down within a few feet of me.
Photo by my colleague, photojournalist Cliff Owen
Here's one more photo from Haiti: Very grim but you all have seen worse I'm guessing. This guy was gunned down with an M1 right in front of myself and a few other "blancs" - whites, which was what the Haitians called journalists. He died as we were trying to get him into an SUV and run him to an aid station. That's me on the far right, looking pretty stressed. Whenever I'm cranky about my present job I remember that I'll likely be home without anyone's blood ruining my clothes...
It is 69.1°F on our way to 79°, no chance of rain. Yesterday we were supposed to get a lot of rain and ended up with .06 inches. My yard is growing fast.
Our administration is being run by idiots. No more politics from me today.

I was ill a couple of weeks ago. Bottle of Nyquil original (comes with a shot glass), Benadryl (25mg), two day cocoon. The recovery hacking worse than the infection. Family response more pathetic than that. They forget they don't know because they never knew or cared enough to know the truth much less when to shut up..
Need some umphf.... This'll do it if music can do it....
Correct. US 27 cuts through the bluegrass routing through Nicholasville north to Lexington where it becomes Limestone Ave. as it passes UK continuing north towards Paris. This band from the northside of Lexington is worthy of your ear.

Yeah, Ole Stevie could invoke the spock-funk elements for sure. The thing I always liked about Stevie's work as one of the originalists was the "lack" of profanity. His politics did me in but I sure liked on his music for a long long time. I still like his music as it is on the same plain as Merle Haggard to me BUT, I don't go looking for Stevie's music much anymore but Merle is worth the search though he may have been on the same plain but he didn't vocalize his beliefs... jmusao
(Pleases me that we almost speak the same language..... the same, but different... )
(Had to instill a little bit of John too.)
My son, home from Lexington, innocently informed his mom (my wife) that he had seen roaches in the stuff he was bringing home because his Lexington roommates had turned their apartment into a squalid pig sty (at least that's who he blamed.)
My wife, who runs a very clean home and is terrified of getting roaches, ordered him to leave all his stuff in the car until he could 1.) douse his clothes in insecticide 2.) seal them in garbage bags until he could run them through a hot wash cycle.
So he just messaged us back not to worry: When he cleaned out the car, he found the roaches dead.
Now that's impressive, having a car so filthy the roaches commit suicide.

I bought the album the first week it came out. Still have it.
