Time to start Stage2 of the prep. You know where I'll be for the next few hours. The prep is the worst part of the whole melee. Later,, gangsters.
Up WAY early for me. Today is my big day on the colonoscopy table. This will be my 3rd over the years, and would be at the recommended interval (every 3 to 5 years for me, as they've had to snip-out some uglies in the past) ....but, last year I had a "positive" for cancer (not good) result with a Cologuard test. Because of Covid19, hospitals weren't taking patients for elective procedures last year, and now is the earliest that I could get an appointment.
To say that I'm apprehensive would be a vast understatement. Please send out a good thought into the cosmos......I'd appreciate it.
Sorry if I'm sharing too much with you gangsters. As I've mentioned before, I don't have any other friends.
For what it's worth, my Mom had a false positive with the Cologuard test a few years back and was actually cancer free.Up WAY early for me. Today is my big day on the colonoscopy table.

Good thoughts coming your way MM. And no worries on sharing too much. We want to hear what is going on with folks, plus the discussion can also always help some of us as we encounter these things in the future ourselves.Up WAY early for me.

Well, it's a good thing I'm not allergic to bees. Found a ground bee nest with the tractor and the bush hog today. Was at my cousins place repaying a favor when I got the first wallop. They got me three more times b4 I could vacate far enough that they'd leave me alone. Rt ear twice, R cheek and my forehead. Ear still tingling 4 hours later.
I watched them too. That Gyro-car was pretty interesting, ugly but interesting.Keeping myself o
Yeah there is a marathon "Chasing Classic Cars" running on motor trend.
Being an Iraq War veteran, I feel your pain, MM. I had to drink that mix every 3 years after I got back from the sandbox. I was pleased with the last one, told me I could go 5 to 7 years. No suspect polyps in the last colonoscopy. "My Rectal Enemies", (one of the names we came up for 1+ year of eating MRE's), had finally cleared out.Time to start Stage2 of the prep. You know where I'll be for the next few hours. The prep is the worst part of the whole melee. Later,, gangsters.
Ugh!!!!Thoughts and prayers for MM and the Mouse!!! WIfe's dog snoring kept me awake this morning.....ugh.
We had a bald-faced hornet's nest built right over our lane last year. I waited until a cool night in September. I parked my work van about 30 to 40 yards away, with the bright lineman light right on the nest. I killed the light for 15 minutes. It was a moonless night. I positioned the 12 foot, A-frame ladder to side of that light beam that would come. I sprayed the nest with a flammable penetrating oil. I emptied a 1/4 or 1/2 a can of good wasp, hornet spray into their exit, turned on that spotlight with the remote. Neighbor, who was holding the ladder, helped me move it, then I hit the nest with my 3 foot brush burner propane "tiki torch". Total carnage!!!! I cut the limb, from the ground with a pole limb cutter and proceeded to "fan the flames" with more torch action. The next day, I had 6 to 10 dead bald faced hornets that "attacked the light" on top of my work van. They must have died from the coolness and the bug juice??
The strangest thing.. Part of the colony survived somewhere else. They started rebuilding on that same limb, about 3" from the torched and cut part. Finished them off on the following Friday night in much the same fashion.
