They did a lumbar puncture yesterday and put chemo into the spinal fluid to try and kill the cancer cells .They will be putting a port in his head tomorrow or it could be Monday so that they can give him chemo twice a week.

Make the most of your time together, be it a month, a year, or a decade... I'm praying for both of you...

Not working... should be fishing...

I think I'll try to find some pork belly. Pork belly burnt ends sound good.


Arrrgh!! The charter boat San Diego (my preferred ride when I ain't on mine) is getting the yellowtail at the Islands.

Son. Of. A. Biscuit! I should be out there on mine!! It's Thursday, dammit!

I'll console myself with a plate of pork belly burnt ends.

Counting down the days till both kids start school...

When we made the decision that I would stay home with the kids 6 years ago, I really expected I would be able to accomplish far more... Kids don't let you do anything...

I can sit outside and smoke a cigar, but it will be interrupted... noses will need wiped, bellies need filled, dishes and clothes need washed, floors need constant vacuuming; and when you've completed it all you turn around in astonishment and you wonder, if in fact, you've accomplished anything at all... For the nose - still runny... The belly - still in need of filling... The pile of dishes and laundry - bigger than ever... And whatever you just vacuumed - replaced with something that requires the shampooer be fetched...

It's an exercise in futility... I might as well be working on a perpetual motion machine...

6 days to go and then, I'm sure I'll miss it dearly...


Put them to work! Teach them the magic of making a PB&J, and the fun of a vacuum cleaner.

Just don't be the Stay At Home Parent who remains a SAHP even when all your kids are off to friggen school!

The number of people I know who slid into that downward guide-path of sloth, with the only thing ascending is the size off their assses. Gateway then to depression, bicthyness, daytime tv and crying fits (probably out of guilt) that the working parent JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!

I have countless friends with now with half-drained bank accounts and investments and all of the ice cream... Gone. Pigs.

Thankfully, my wife works more hours than I do.

It's sounding hopeful...

He is going to give me three prices. One for roof and tin work, one for roof only with me doing tearoff, and one for tin only.

At least can have the option of doing just the roof, and said he'd subtract a half days labor for tearoff if I do it myself.

Tear off goes pretty quick, or did when I was still 20 something. Nowadays my lazy azz would probably just pay it

I have a tearoff shovel, and resheeting is easy. It's the applying shingles properly part I can't do very well or very quickly.

I had a friend that did roofing. If the job was perfect, you knew he was sober when he did it.

I've got a tearoff and re-shingling job coming in the next few years. I am just about worthless on a non flat roof, so I will be hiring someone to do it.

If it's less than a grand in savings to tear off myself, I will pay to have them do it. 3-400 for the dumpster plus 2-3 days of my time is worth more than a grand to me. I can do that with 2-3 days of overtime and not hurt my back.

Morning, gang. We're already in August and I haven't had a really good fishing day yet this year.

I'm hoping that August and September the fishing gods are kind...

Of course, I actually have to GO for the fishing to be good.

Good morning.
Neck is stiff like a rock. Waiting for a muscle relaxant to kick in.
Got lots of errands today. Haircut , grocery store and whatever returns my wife needs to make.
Last full weekend of r&r for my son who is home from school during his summer break.
Overall, it's going to be a nice, family kind of day.Herfing
