    So much rain this year as of late!

    Several evenings I’ve waited for temps to cool a bit as the sun dropped low on the horizon to practice with the bow…only to have rain with a good bit of lightening.

    Stubbed it on the corner of a box, toe next to the pinky toe. Heard a snap, and toe was pointed out. Gave it a yank incase it was a dislocation, but pretty sure it is broke. Same foot I broke the pinky toe on back in 2011 or 2012, picking them off one at a time I guess.

    See how it feels in the AM, have to wear comoression socks these days so will be interesting getting ready for work.

    You need to wear armor on your feet.

    Absolutely wrecked my back...pickleball.

    2400mg of ibuprophen over the past 2.5 hrs hasn't yet put a dent in it.

    We have got 10" of rain in June, the water level in the lake is up at least 6". Luckily I have windows to mow the grass that is loving the rain forest.

    Well wasn't as if I didn't warn everyone. :whip::deadhorse: :moose:Make those hunting plans for it just may be dicey this fall early winter. Storm and I believe early heavier snow falls. Hope I'm wrong.

    My rant is a personal fail. This spring I had to pull 6+ embedded ticks off me. Sprays, long sleeves, pants tucked in. Nothing worked. Just walking trails got me and I have clean trails.
    Well I just stopped going out on my property, ever. No more ticks go figure. I dont actually fear much, so this is hard to admit. I am affraid about going out into my woods when not in the Gator. Even then, I come home and strip to change clothes. I actually even avoid our lawn

    X-rays were negative for a break. Only reason I went in was for a note for work so I can get off my foot a bit. Guessing I dislocated it and when I yanked it got it reset.

    Had to drive the work cube van home on the freeway that is under construction and holiday traffic. Why do I live in an area that I can not get furniture delivered? Evidently we needed a new couch with a hide a bed so even more people can sleep here. My son is hosting his annual party at the lake in July, he invited 15 people thinking not all of them can make it, nope they are all coming, please kill me.
