Don[/quote]I didn't really like "liking" your post. But, I didn't know what to say. It sounds like you are ready to move on and there is no way that I would try to get you stay. That would require you to fight even more and you have been fighting-- so hard. If it is your time to rest, then all I can do is pray that you will soon feel no pain and that you will be happy over the rainbow bridge. Just save a cup of coffee and a rock tale for me. [/quote] You can count on it Tela. Always a fresh pot of coffee at my place.

Tomorrows another day and Jake still needs out in the morning. How else is he going to spread those awesome rock hound genetics around. Course we didn't get any puppies when he had that short term romance with the couch cushion. hehehe

what a crappy day. Been 70 Hrs since I was here last. Had about 5 hours of sleep in that time. waited almost 76 years to see a full solar eclipse. Dozed off just as it was starting. woke up at the tail end. Guess I'm gonna have to tough it out for another 99 years to see one.

Mornin all. Been a while, so I figured that I should check in and let you know I'm still kickin. Last week or so have been pretty rough. Not getting much sleep. 15 minutes here and 1/2 hour there, day and night. Getting pretty weak from lack of sleep. Spending 20 - 22 hours per day just sitting in my recliner.
On a brighter note, it smells like something died around here. Septic tank is being pumped as I'm typing. Figured I'd better get it done so mama has one less thing to worry about after I'm gone.
Had a guy come in and grind all of the tree stumps around the yard. That'll make it easier for mama to mow the 3 acres of lawn. No more having to mow around them, then have to come back with a weed eater to finish up.
Anyway, I'm still around. I check in every 2 or 3 days, just to keep up with what's happening.
Rock on friends. Don

Good to hear your voice Mr. Don. Glad you are hanging in there. Sorry you missed the eclipse, it was not as monumental as claimed.
Let's go rent one of these and take her out in the Florida hurricane. Maiden voyage...

Nope James. after 20 plus years in the Navy, the nearest I want to come to water is the bath tub. Got one of those tubs with the jacuzzi water jets in it. That's my rough water. Rode out a couple of bulkhead walking typhoons in WestPac. That was enough rough water for me. No more being chased by mess deck tables at meal time. No more ducking flying catsup bottles. LOL

fossilmanMike, any chance you can check in with trucker Bob? He is probably the only way we would know when Don finally gets some much needed rest.

Sorry all of you snowflakes. The old goat is still kickin. Just went through a couple of rough weeks, but starting to get my strength back. Won't be on very much. Still to weak to make the trip back to my computer. Need to get a small side table so I can set it up next to my recliner.
Took a spill the other night and damned near landed on Jake. Poor guy scooted out of the way just in time. He came back to look at me, then went to the bedroom to wake mama. Little guy looks after me.
May be back later this evening.
