The guy and girl knew what they were doing. Not sure it they are married or in a relationship but the sure work well together. So must be single LOL. Yeah no more leaves to rake will be a bonus for sure. For a while anyway as we will be putting in a Japanese Maple in it's place.
I need to plant a tree or 2 in my back yard nothing but grass back there. The front yard is loaded with 11 fir trees and 4 big juniper trees and 2 crab apples. Ho and a apple tree.
Thinking about taking the crab apples out or trim them way back.

Good morning fellas! I hope everybody's doing well on a Saturday!
Mark, you've got quite a pile of Birch left. Is that sought after firewood?
Sounds like you guys had a serious discussion about the world's problems last night after I went snoozing. It seems any discussion of family history has to cross the lines of Cancer and Alzhiemers. Well you're not alone. Both my Mom and Dad had Cancer and suffered miserably. I developed small cell lung cancer in 2005 myself. Had surgery, chemo and radiation in 2006. And yes, although missing half (actually a little more than 1/3) of my right lung I'm still around to be a pain in the *** to those I love. Good at it too!
FOG, I am living proof that you've got a lot left too! We all do!
I, like you folks, am glad to have what family I have that still talks to me. Am blessed with a loving wife, and a few guys in cold places that listen to me complain alot. My poor wife is developing some early onset signs of ALZ so don't get upset at me if I disappear from time to time.
Anyways, just wanted to be sure you guys all realize that more than ancient technology automobiles seems to be why we're all drawn together here. It's a pleasure to know you guys too! Thanks for the company.

Morning Jeff....yeah Birch is a hardwood and burns quite hot. A friend of mine just suggested splitting it and wrap some red Ribbon around 3 sections at a time and take it to the local mall parking lot and sell them for 20 bucks a bundle because people want them for the fireplace as decoration for Xmas. I think I'm just going to seel for 200 bucks and be done with it. Getting too old for that kind of sh*t. LOL
Sorry to hear about your wife Jeff, it is a terrible disease for all the family to have to go through. Hope they can delay the onset as long as possible. In Canada we have the Assisted Dying for people who are terminal or some other serious disease so they can depart before the suffering gets too bad. I'm sure there is a load of red tape to go through. Is that option available in the U.S.? Spend quality time with her and keep her comfortable. Even if you're not on here we'll all be thinking of you and will understand.

So sorry to hear the passing of George H W Bush. He was a class act and loved by many.

No sir, that's not feasible here in the states. In some ways we're not that civilized. The frick'n govt doesn't think we're mature enough to make those decisions for ourselves I think. I couldn't even think of that in this scenario anyway! This girl has been better to me than I deserve and she's just stuck with my dumb ***! That's a worse penance anyway me thinks!
Ouch Jeff , that looks pain full , glad you are ok !!!
I'll bet it feels a lot different around there with that big tree removed. Especially next summer. Why did you remove it?
Plus I noticed the older I get the longer it takes to heal !
Some how I missed all of those new posts this morning. So sorry to hear about your wife Jeff. Oregon has assisted suicide. Maybe others. We have what we call Hospice. They help immensely. Dad and mom had good insurance so that helps but Hospice helps any one. Amazing people. They treat the whole family not just the patient. We all work together. Its never easy going through the dying process. Tempers can flare at times with family and nurses.
No one will admit it but we killed Dad. Mom too. Didnt talk about Mom. She was too young for sure. But ya, we finally pump em enough drugs to the point where the cant eat or drink. Dad was a tough old bird. He went a long time. About a week with no water. He would have liked a little bourbon with it if he could have, HA ha.

Thanks BP, we're a long way from considering such options. I'm real familiar with Hospice too.
I was caretaker for Dad the last 6 or 7 months of his time. Although difficult, it was worthwhile.
My Mom actually did herself I believe. A whole lot of her pain killers disappeared the last few days and she did pass in her sleep. Mom's do those things to make it easy on others!

The plat people call it a slough. I'm not far from a river. I call it a pond. Beavers got it dammed up pretty good but it flows a little.
