    Working and waiting on a vendor for a SW reload. After 3 failed attempts at resolution and this being my fourth trip, totaling 2000 miles driven and 40 hrs behind the wheel in a week. I acquired the %$$@ software and did it myself.
    Just do your GD job!

    Some doctors and their procedures they “need” to follow. My girlfriends mom came down with a severe migraine/headache a while back. Didn’t think anything of it. Then she starts getting them more frequently.

    She goes to the doc and gets an initial scan - “it will be 3-5 days before we know anything, but we do see that your blood pressure is very high. Go home and if it continues let us know.” She continues getting on and off pains in her head (so bad she has a hard time seeing straight, can’t understand what people are saying, and can’t really talk). They rush back to the doctor for a CT scan. They say they can see something but not sure what it was, it would be a few days, and to go home (this was last night). Today she goes to work and has to come home because of the pain again. She calls her doctor and the doctor basically told her.... “I’m not exactly sure what is happening and you should go to the ER.” So now they are in their way to the ER.

    I’m no doctor but why wouldn’t they have recommended the ER before sending her home 2 times and numerous calls?

    It’s just so stressful. I don’t get worried about things too easily, but this is worrying me. Anything to do with the head/brain is not a joke. Anything else I would understand. I just pray that it’s not some sort of clot anything like that.

    ER believes she has what is called TIA, basically having mini strokes.

    “A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is like a stroke, producing similar symptoms, but usually lasting only a few minutes and causing no permanent damage.

    Often called a ministroke, a transient ischemic attack may be a warning. About 1 in 3 people who have a transient ischemic attack will eventually have a stroke, with about half occurring within a year after the transient ischemic attack.”

    Praying that they can get this fixed with medication and not need surgery.

    I get it.

    I got stuck attending an afterhours meeting with a customer. That night, my target buck made his ONLY day light appearance on my property.

    You are damned if you do yet damned if you don't with trail cams.

    Finally I have been trying to get a company to come and pick up my son's college car and haul it away. They were supposed to be at my place Tuesday, no show, Friday, no show finally today. My wife is going to be so happy when she gets home the saturn and the fiberglass boat are both gone from the yard.

    First snow is here! Curse you Pennsylvania! Of course it would snow on the one day out of the week that hunting is banned.

    So my wife tells me yesterday that our oldest boy has a chess tournament on Saturday Nov 10 from 8 am - 4 pm. And I have to be the one to take him because she doesn't want to keep the baby up there all day. This is after I told her we should go to the October tournament so we didn't have to do the November tournament. But we couldn't do that because the older boys had to go to the neighbor kid's birthday party. It wouldn't be so bad if we could actually watch the games, but no, idiot parents got into a fight over a freaking chess game a couple of years ago and now all the parents have to sit a different room from the kids while they play. 8 Hours of sitting in a room making small talk with parents I do not know while my kid competes in a tournament I can't watch. 52 Saturdays in the year and it has to be the one Saturday of the year I ask to have for myself.
