The view from the bedroom ...the edge of the snow on the far right is Smallsbush Rd! |
Friday Jeff and I had a not so great trip to the clinic in Cooperstown for a follow-up appointment for him. Rte 28 was wet, snowy, slushy and generally ucky on the way down (but dry on the way back). Remember when we went to the ER that night earlier in January? Well, this appointment was the follow-up for that. The neurologist has just about ruled out a seizure but wants a couple of tests done to determine if Jeff had had a 'minute' stroke...a rather common occurrence for a man of his age with a life time of hard work, hard living and smoking. Most people don't notice it since there's no pain and the numbness/tingling goes away. He's got to have a Doppler scan of his neck and an MRI. The doctor thinks medication will be a baby aspirin a day to thin Jeff's blood. Getting old is so much fun...not. We did stop for lunch at Liz's Diner in Mohawk. Oh, the cheese burger was the best I've had in a long time! Jeff and I shared a slice of apple pie, too. Ahh!
Jeff's noticed that the pallets he normally collects haven't been available. Someone else is getting to them faster than he is so we've decided to buy some split hard work. I noticed an ad for a face cord available for $65 delivered or picked up. He's going to check it out and we'll see about getting a one. Jeff's not sure the utility trailer can haul a face cord in 1 trip...it doesn't have far to go but it will be up the hill and pass the troopers so he doesn't want to take any chances. Besides if the price is the same...delivered or picked-up...I'd rather they be delivered. A little less work?
Wonder why the bottom of the T rusted? |
