GLOBAL WARMING IS KILLING ME

I have already posted more than I intended for Christmas, only really planned on one retro bit I wrote months ago, and here it is spring again. Kind of kills the mood!

It was around 70 today, perfect for outside work, but I did not plan on doing as much as we did. Ms. Mushy thought it was a good idea to trim the holly bushes in front of the "Ponderosa," and handed me a limb trimmer. That will never work – it will take too long I explained. This is going to be a “chainsaw massacre!” Which, by the way, was the second day in a row I tortured my shoulders using the blame thing.

Anyway, after her fussing at me for nearly falling on the darn thing, and for having it too close to my leg at one point, and Baylee trying to take the lawnmower away from me, we finished dragging everything to the back in a little over three hours.

After eating everything I could find and taking a shower, I tried to lie down – both shoulders objected so here I am. I may be here all night if I cannot find something to ease the gnawing pain. After the first of the year, that is right after Jackson Hole, I am going to bite the bullet and have the shoulder spurs removed. In pain is not the way to live – I am not even half the man I used to be - got to get ready for spring yard work!

Thank goodness it will be 10 degrees colder tomorrow and maybe I can rest – or go to Bailey’s. Yeah, Bailey’s, that’s the ticket!
