I put the dark chocolate Cacao (table spoons worth) into my coffee every morning. Been doing it for about a year now.

Hmmm,

I’ve been using coconut powder and milk powder. (Both pure brands). I never even thought of using the cacao in my coffee… I will try that, thanks… May not though till we get back from our travel…

Hello All,

At the DC VA in the parking garage. I have some sort of nerve test. I am early but walking in shortly. The doctor is from Walter Reed and is doing this…. The guy must be special or bad as he answers his own phone calls…Is a neurosurgeon though… We shall see, in any event, I am thankful….

I will try mowing my daughter’s grass when I get back today as we plan on leaving early in the morning for Newberry FL….


Have a special sort of great day!!!!

Good morning folks. Crazy busy today but wanted to check in. Hot and clear in the east.

Work is that awful combination of tedious and nearly overwhelming right now, but some better days are within sight. My wife keeps nagging me to retire and my excuses not to do that sound weaker and weaker, even to me.

For all you guys who are retired, enjoy your freedom and bait a hook or take a hike for me.

Talking about retirement, I worked at the uranium enrichment plant west of Paducah long enough to draw a small pension. Some of it was illness from working around the product, but they said the average retiree from there lived 19 months. That is one reason I quit.

They have spent years cleaning up the plant site and are talking about having a major AI site there. Many years ago they four laned Highway 60 from Paducah to the plant to make it safer to haul product to and from the site. They said the plant used more electricity than the city of St Louis. I used to see it raining at one of the switch yards in the plant and nowhere else in the plant. I guess all the electricity in a small space caused it. Also used up to 22 million gallons of water a day from the Ohio River at times.

One more from the tourney. Mighty Casey does not strike out on this one.

I used to work with nukes (artillery) and we had to monitor how much radiation we would get from them by the use of a pen like reader that we would have in our pockets before going in to the bunkers. We would record this in a log the days we went in and zero out the pens after recording the amount. Once you get to a certain amount for humans (total) that had been determined by "experts" you could no longer work around them.

Worked on highway 60 back 1972, built some bridges for Dawson Bridge company on I-24, can’t remember the name of the small town I rented a trailer. Just thought of it, Grahamville, ever heard of it?

Grahamville is very near the plant. At one point later, they ran water lines all the way from Paducah because they were worried about local water supplies. They also advised locals not to eat local fish or animals.

The plant was built in the late 40's early 50's. They didn't even know it would hurt you then. When I quit about 1983 or 4, they didn't have or at least use that kind of technology. 2 of the guys I played softball with who also worked there died of cancer before they were even old enough to retire.

I'm back,

Heading out to my garage to get the car ready and do some other work. No mowing today. That doctor took me in at about 0930 and finsihed up his testing about 1155. Just WoW... I was electro-shocked, pinned and needled, Accupunctured, and a few other treatments I do not know the names of but this guy checked me from stem to stern as the saying goes. He stated he knew now what my issues are.... (Won't go into them but not so much life threatening so...) At least we have a way forward.

Told me if anyone suggested surgery to slap them. I have two diffrerent issues that will be trated but not surgically...

I never had a more genuine time with a doctor in my life. I have met some good ones and whether this guy knows his stuff or not, I enjoyed being around him. (Dr. Li) I am thankful...

Enjoy your afternoons...
