Hey RE Worked outside in bad smoke today. Wound up with a
terrible headache. Get back to you in the AM

Well I didn't say which AM.
We wound up having to shear sheep yesterday. Months late. The
guy that does our shearing got hurt last spring and this was the
first time he could get at it. His assistant is going back to
school and our intern is not here so it was senior citizen sheep
shearing day. The ewes weren't bad, but because I couldn't
butcher much last fall or winter due to hernia surgery, we have
4 rams that wanted to wrestle - especially because some of the
ewes are in heat. I wound up dead asleep by 8:30.
Since you asked, RE, I know someone who can help you out. I
have an old friend who lives in Oregon where shrooms have been
declared kosher. He is a charter member of BOOF (Benevolent
Order of Old Farts) a fraternal "organization" devoted to
servicing the needs of the 3G community (Grumpy Grouchy
Geezers). I'm sure he will be empathetic to your situation.
I'd be happy to obtain some locally and send them to you, but
we've been having this discussion in a very public venue and
although the amount in question is minute and the goal is
medicinal I will take discretion as the better part of valor
here. Asking my friend shouldn't add more than a day or two to
the process.
So get me an address where you can receive packages.
As for your being sorry over being miserable... I've been
around a while and I've tried to pay attention. It is my
considered opinion that any damn thing can happen to just about
anybody at almost any time. In other words, it could be me in
that wheelchair - or any one of us. I can't tell you that I
would be any cheerier than you are. I might be worse. A lot
worse.

To illustrate the point: A few days ago I was thinning in some
cedar - a nasty tangle and cedar has very grabby limbs. Not to
go into too much detail, I cut one limb that was under a lot of
stress and a small tree sprung loose, bounced off another tree
and came after me. It missed my head by less than a foot and
landed on the chainsaw bar. The bar bit into my pants and just
barely nipped me on the inner thigh- barely a scratch. (Yeah I
should have been wearing chaps - they are just hot and
restrictive.) As they used to say about football - It's a game
of inches.
My mistake about fishing. I didn't know you couldn't handle a
conventional rod. They do have fishing equipment for
handicapped folks. (more on that some other time) But, I
thought because you are in a senior facility that they'd have
the bus with a lift that takes the residents out on excursions.
My real object here was to get you out into nature - or at least
real air, real weather. Maybe a few trees and some birds. If
you were within driving distance I'd bring you out here so you
could sit in the shade, visit with the animals and talk to the
breeze. Just my opinion, but I think it would do you some good
to get more exposure to nature than a Walmart parking lot. May
be you and your PCA could just stop at a park for a while.
Get me that address, RE
If I could figure out how to attach a photo to this post I'd
send you a shot of Hercules. He was a magnificent animal.
We might get a rain shower today. That would be a blessing.
Back into the hundreds later in the week.
There have been some really good posts lately by you, k-Dog ,
Phil Potts I hope to be able to reply later. Peace.

As a long time reader, you know how I love Phil Ochs, so a real
good choice of tunes there. :) There are great covers of the
tune by numerous folkies, Joan Baez does a great one. My
favorite is the version done by Marianne Faithful.

Besides being Mick Jagger's girlfried and a serious substance
abuser, she was also the great (or great-great, not sure)
granddaughter of the Marquis de Sade. A true blue blood member
of the Illuminati. Her enunciation in absolutely perfect Eaton
and Cambridge quality King' English really makes the song
poignant, IMHO.
I never though I would make it past 50 and lived my life as
though I would not. I had the poor fortune not to die young,
though I had many opportunities and close calls.
Far has mailing me shrooms, I have yet to even have an Amazon
delivery to this address. So it will have to wait some, and as
I said I really do not see that as any real change for me.
Far as I know there are no fishing expeditions for cripples, I
even have had trouble getting set up for Mealz-on-Wheelz. They
never pick up the phone and the voicemail is always full. The
"excursions" done by the Life Works program just drive cripples
and old folks around, most of the time you are in the van for
maybe an hour in a park somewhere. No thanks, I'd rather stay
home.

RE I haven't been able to check in for a week or so. Intensely
busy trying to salvage some harvest and get more pasture for the
sheep. But today it rains. Enough rain to make a difference.
Sunday night we had a storm of ash and black charred bits
(needles, bark) as a cold front rolled through. This rainstorm
is a gigantic stress reliever.
How are you doing? Sleeping any better? How is the new place
working out?

Cheeseburgers, p6 or lips p9, only because there was no
woodgrain.
Tyrefitter/aligner where I usually go has one that swivels at
the knee, he's on his feet all day with a lot of bobbing down
work. if he wore long pants I wouldn't even know, no noticeable
limp.

Designs like that are more $$$$ than the already ridiculous $24K
this thing will cost the taxpayer. You can buy a fucking NEW
CAR for that much moola! A decent machine shop could make the
hinge joint, or I think you could make a reasonable facsimile
from a car door hinge from the junkyard. You could easily make
the socket just plaster casting the stump, or use a 3-D printer.
It's yet another Med Industry RACKET.
I will not be on my feet that much because I can't have pressure
on the remaining heel for more than a few minutes at a time. It
will ulcerate again. But just a few minutes is enough to do the
things I cannot do on wheels, specifically climb steps. I doubt
you would notice much limp, but that is really irrelevant as far
as I am concerned.

The diamond plate... or perhaps one of the camo choices - you
could spill something on it without it showing.
