@smoke665 I hope all is well! That’s a car--you ending to a long day.

Won't know the results until we go back to meet with her doctor in two weeks, but we feel confident that the in-depth tests will confirm what the 6 week blood tests have been showing all along, that all is still well.

I am believing she is healthy.

The local news reported that smoke from all the wildfires are covering 3/4 of California.

Fingers crossed, Smoke.

The light was reddish-yellow as it had to traveled through smoke clouds in order to reach where Gary was standing.

I remember a time not that long ago when we experienced something similar from all the brush fires around. Not only did it affect the sunlight, but it made for some strange moonlight as well.

@jcdeboever an @snowbear The blood tests they do throughout the year only detect the cancer once it's reached a certain threat level. Multiple Myeloma is one of the rarer blood cancers. What Is Multiple Myeloma? As of yet it is incurable but can sometimes be forced into a "smoldering" state during which it's not producing new cells or causing any harm. The tests she underwent yesterday are far more advanced at detecting it, then the blood tests. At her first annual check 1 year post stem cell transplant, she was declared to be in clinical remission, meaning they couldn't find any cells on the tests. That would be the ideal result again, as any cells detected would mean it had awakened and the clock was ticking again.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Mary Lou, similar to Leo, detests heat. Normally, we'd be all over the state hitting wineries and jazz festivals. But for the last month we've pretty much been holed-up inside, hugging the A/C, scared of the sunlight. NetFlix is our best friend. Yesterday, a friend who lives in Riverside County had a mandatory evacuation due to the fires. That fire may have cut off our route to Temecula wine country. Mary Lou wants a little pool with no fish so she can dip her feet. She is scared of fish pee. Gary explained that the biological filters mitigate the pee ... but she is still reluctant to dip a toe in the Koi pond. But yesterday, while cleaning up the lime tree, she did put a finger in the pond, testing for coolness.

Heatwave sheatwave.
Here in Texas 90 with 80+ humidity is the norm.

5 hours and a couple minutes today.
Found another bad connection on the floor machine. Repaired it. Hope for the best but prepared for the worst.

Which is why Gary doesn't live in Texas.

Working on clearing out my basement to prepare it for the install of an interior drain system with sump pump. Our basement was finished off, will now be demo’d for access to all exterior basement walls. Once new drain/pump has been installed, restoration can begin.

What the hey, it’s only money... big money.

Got home. Was some shade. Did a bit of weedeating. Now watching YouTube about the Mosquito plane.

From the sound of your heat complaints lately, I say you were close. LOL

Left this morning at 4:30, 15 hrs later stick a fork in me I'm done. Today was my DW's 2nd annual post transplant full workup at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. Because of the distance they schedule all her tests on the same day. The waiting isn't bad because the whole hospital complex is very nice. The trip home was horrendous as we were done just at rush hour. Atlanta in rush hour can be dicey, finally hit some open road and then torrential rain. As we got into town this was our main road thru town, covered in over a foot of water in places.

Hoping everything went well.

I'm so mad. I lost my patience today trying to load a roll of 120 FP4+ on a reel. I gave up. I could not get that MF'r to load on that reel at all. It was probably all scratched to hell anyway, so I took it out of the bag. It was me because I had no problem when looking at it. Tractor show pics. It was super curly on the end, not like the last roll. I tried snipping the corners off, nope. I have one more roll to load, gonna cool down and do it later. I can load 135 all day long, without a hitch but throw some 120 at me and it gets interesting. I am a 54 year old noob and want to bang my head on the wall.
