The Coffee House

I took a relative to the hospital today for out patient minor surgery. In the waiting room a man tried changing the TV by slamming his finger into the screen many times. Thought he would break it! I did tell him politely that it wasn't touch screen. Sorta creepy man. When he first arrived I was the only one in the waiting room. There were about dozen empty chairs around the room and he sat in the one next to me. Shortly after the TV incident, I told reception that I was taking a short walk.

Hope surgery went OK and TV poker was gone when you got back.

That sucks. You're already on edge about the surgery ... then some weird person starts doing weird stuff. Gary hopes the surgery went well.

Thanks, the surgery went as planned. I was alone with the guy for about 15 minutes. He was agitated when he walked in and no one at reception. He sat down in a huff and asked where was everyone. I assured him that there was a full house of workers and clients in the back. I wonder if he was high or a medical issue because he couldn't sit still.

Morning all, sunny start today with a cool breeze so Susie and I had a lovely walk in the park. Might go and watch the singers later but will feel strange not having and using the camera though.

Crap. Crud. Etc.
The outside AC unit is down again.
Trying to get awake and clear eyed enough to deal with it. Ain't life swell?

Pourquoi pas de camera? Est-ce l'arthrite?

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. yesterday Gary rented a trencher. It was a worthless piece of crap. It took far more effort and sweat to haul around a 200 lb. piece of pig iron than to have used a shovel. There was an auger or the right side of the pig, designed to move the dirt out from the chain to the side of the trencher. That auger kept pulling the trencher to the right ... after an hour of ... less than desirable results ... and an equivalent loss of full days worth of sweat, Gary returned the pig. Fortunately, he received a full refund from Home Depot. (Actually, Mary Lou got the refund as Gary was in the parking lot kicking the sucker.) The early image was from Gary's shovel work.)

Today, electrical and concrete contractors are coming over for estimates and tonight a musical program named "Route 66" at the Huntington Library. The Library is fabulous ... Gary is looking forward to the show, sipping vino, eating dinner, making new friends under the stars. The Library is a small venue, hosting only a few hundred people, rendering parking easy and free, the grounds/botanical gardens are wondrous and the director and musicians are world class. (Music will sooth Gary's aching little body.)

I would have rented one of these, my hands don't fit a shovel handle anymore you can dig a lot of trench in a short amount of time. Home Depot rents them for $209 a day.

But for $40 more and a case of beer, I would have went with this, just for Wow factor

Gotta size the equipment for the job ... not the ego ...

This was the iron pig. It came with an 18" blade, what was all Gary theoretically needed.

I was trying to size the equipment for you Gary. If it was "my ego", I'd go with one of these.
