I had the unpleasant task of talking to my grandfather after he parked his truck in the living room. I explained he just could not drive anymore. It was terrible. In the end I had to pull coil wire so truck was not drivable.
Then I caught him in garage trying to set the house on fire with the welder. Being creative I figured to solve that like I did the truck and pulled the breaker to the welder. I did not think it thru. I went back and he had the front panel off the box all breakers and wiring exposed trying to fix it. It was just a terrible terrible time.
Dd is spot on. Most of families way to cope was to just not help. One neighbor figured out the situation and was a predator as my grandfather would just give away all his tools or whatever in the coarse of conversation. The neighbor would just shrug when I confronted him about it and say he gave it to me it is now mine.
The other neighbor would every couple of weeks bring over a box or a trailer and explain while you were gone he gave me all this. In stark contrast to the predator neighbor. It was an emotional roller coaster.

This right here is very similar to my friend’s dad.
He was 5 miles away from home on his quad,-35 wind howling and not at all dressed for the weather.
Has a fair size lathe,any of you know what happens when you run the tool into the chuck, he crashed it.

Got sleeve wet on his jacket and tried to dry it over the stove and burned the sleeve.

The daughters had to finally put him in a home. Devastating.
This man owned the local air service,a business he built from scratch. Now he has nothing.

There were a few people that walked away with a few armloads of tools. He had tools.
 
I think I'll get my running done this morning. We have a "wintery mix" forecasted for this afternoon.

Good morning, James goes back to chatroom days with Rani and Kegan and others.

If anyone in your house is interested in the throwback recipes like I am, this oddball one is really good.

Good morning. Well... I've got my work cut out for me. Huge piles of limbs to drag about a 100 yards, uphill even, to where they are safely burned. Several that I'll need to hit with my lil Homelite before I can move them.
And before these good buddies w/ chainsaws left here, one says, "We're going crappie fishing all night Thursday. The expected low temp is 60. Leaving out about 4 pm if you want to go." GRRRRR I do want to go. Force myself to stay on the couch Thursday while the high is near 80?
Stay tuned LOL
