It's about time, EH?.....Part 1

 Hi all, well it's that time to get back into the swing of things. I've had a whole lot going on for quite awhile, some good, some bad. My bad days come and go, I received a letter from the Veterans Administration acknowledging my exposure to Agent Orange Which means that all my illnesses are a result of exposure. So, I will just keep taking my medications as prescribed and I was sent to a Mental Evaluation Specialist who gave me a 7 hr. examination and determined that my PTSD has worsened. So that I pretty much have to work on myself including two mental specialist. I will see one every week and one once a month. So, that is the jist of it.

               The Winter has really been a hard one, lots of cold weather
                It actually got down to -38 but, I couldn't find that photo.
This Winter was a rough one, much worse and more snow than the previous Winter.

             Hard at work, not really. This snowblower made clearing a lot easier.
              See how the snow piled up from the shop right to the porch?
                  This is the one side that faces the back of the property. You can't even tell where the bottom of my solar panels stop.
                             Same side, just a view from farther away.
                                This is the side facing the road.
                                 This is the back of my shop
The far left hump is my Ford Ranger p/u and the closer left hump is my trailer.
                 How can I forget the generator shed and outhouse? LOL
The company that the Borough contracted with to plow did a lousy job so, my neighbor down the road decided to widen our road more.
        Yes, the moose have been coming back but mostly at night to sleep.

Ok, I think that will do it for now. Tomorrow afternoon sometime will be part 2, I wanted to save the best for last. I promise you will enjoy it.

Hi John, so good to read a post from you. Take care of yourself and don't put pressure on yourself to post by a deadline. I like your LOL, makes me smile as I imagine you doing the same, doesn't everyone have an outhouse pic to share! Your snow amounts are incredible, I am in North Dakota we got a fair amount also.

Happy Saturday, stay healthy and God Bless.

Hi Dee thanks for your kind remarks. Sometimes, I walk outside and look at all the snow and laugh, thinking how I got through the Winter. Good things are coming. Take care

Hi, We had been keeping up with the snow till my son went to work. We went to the cabin one time... he cleaned off the roof, you all got 2 more feet out there... My drive way was blocked with a 12 foot deep berm... Seriously... my son climbed over it to fall into waist deep snow up the driveway to the cabin. He wasn't feeling lifting a ladder and trying to manhandle it to clean off the roof in that deep of snow and not having any way to pivot and move around in the snow... so the cabin sits and I pray my roof doesn't cave in. Hope your doing ok out there. This yr started out rough and well not sure where it is headed now... Take care...

Hi Wash, good to hear you're doing good. We got a lot of snow this Winter, kinda like the old days. Made for a lot of work. Glad Seth got a job, hope he's doing well.

He is considered one of the front line people now... he is at Wally world... He is kicking and screaming all the way... LOL. He wants to stay home and play video games. LOL and on his own time, work on the cabin and what else we need to do. Otherwise we are staying healthy for the most part for now. You sound good... your health doing good? Keep your blood sugars under control and eat well, that will help your immune system stay strong.

Wash.

Good to hear from you John.
I missed your stories and posts.
It’s gotta be breakup now?

Bushrat John said...

Keep on him, if he is doing good, he needs to keep it up. I'm doing pretty good, getting better every day.

Hi Evano, hopefully I can make up for lost time. Yes, it's breakup time but, it's slow break up.
