It's been such a drawn out harvest Jude because of all the rain we've had, the weather is looking good for the next week or so anyway.

Hopefully the pond repair all goes well dill, and that you get enough snow to get the water level back up.

Good Sunday Morning Cafe. Thanks for the breakfast Cowboy and I wish you good harvesting for the next week or so. Jude, have you arrived at your sisters yet. Ginger glad you made it home safely! Dill, good luck repairing the leak. I was on the road all day yesterday driving back and forth to a family function. All is well here but I am holding my breath for Hurricane Milton supposed to hit on Wednesday and we are in the direct path. Our ponds and grounds are already saturated. Makes me rethink my choice to live in Florida……. 24 more please and thank you.

Don't work too hard, Dill! Happy Sabbath.
Rava, I've been out of touch with news events. I had to look up Milton. I hope your place stays safe!
ABC, thanks for breakfast!
Jude, thinking of you and your sis. _/\_
Hey, Mul! Hope you are well and getting out for some last of season hiking. I miss it so.
Counting my blessings though! I'll take another day of freedom

I'm flying to Wyoming this Thursday and I'm not looking forward to it. As usual, I'm sure that my fears are blown out of proportion but I will get through it. It's the take offs and landing that scare the he'll out of me, but visiting my sister will make it worthwhile.
Rava, sure hope that Milton doesn't cause too much damage to your area and that you stay safe.
24 more for all of us please...

Hopefully your Florida home will be safe Rava, I can't imagine living in a hurricane or tornado zone, but the lots of people wonder why I live in an area that gets to -40 in the winter lol.
You'll be just fine Jude, the only thing I don't like about flying is the ear popping during the elevation changes.Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...

Thanks for that lovely breakfast, Cowboy. It's amazing you had time to whip that up before hitting the fields!!
Work did not begin yesterday on the leak project. But we have a whole week of dry weather ahead, so hopefully it will be done this week sometime. Mr. D bought a 2inch intake discharge water pump at Harbor Freight last Friday and used it to pump out the 5 inches of rain that Helene had dumped. It had brought the water up to the area of the patch work, making the ground too spongey for the equipment. It worked really quickly so now the area is drying out and will likely be ok for the equipment. While he is here he is going to take out two huge honey locust trees. I'm pleased about that but it will make a lot of work for Mr. D cutting and splitting for next year. I really dislike honey locust tho. Have any of you had experience with them. They tend to grow in pasture areas and they have absolutely dreadful 2-3 in thorns! Awful things.
Prayers for your home in Florida, Rava. Keep us posted.
24 more for all of us please and thank you.

Dont forget, you can: start late, start over, be unsure, try and fail AND STILL SUCCEED!
If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

Dill, hope ya'll get to work on the pond soon and it's a success. We have locust trees here. They grow huge. Not sure what kind they are but they smell wonderful in bloom.
Rava, any news on Milton fizzling out or changing direction?
Jude, I'll keep you in my thoughts!
ABC, -40? I can't even imagine! Yuk
I've been out of sorts since my surgery. My knee after almost three weeks, feels pretty much the same. Dang it! This makes me grumpy and I hate that!Hopefully, the doc will be reassuring at today's appt.
I'll take another day of freedom!

Ginger, hope that you had some good news at your appointment yesterday. Maybe you just have to give it more time.
Dill, it looks like Mr.D has a lot of work to do but it will give you lots of firewood!
Rava, hope that this next hurricane misses you. My original flight had an 8 hour layover in Orlando Fl on Thursday, but I was able to get a different one that went straight to Denver without any layovers. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of flights are cancelled going out or in Orlando. Big sigh of relief...
Gratefully looking forward to a booze free day!

Ginger, I'm sorry you are still feeling that pain. It could be that the healing process is just SLOW. I can understand your impatience for sure.
Jude, good to hear you were able to get a direct flight and avoid the storm zone.

Every time I see some news about Milton I think of you Rava, sure hope your home isn't affected. At least you're safe and sound even if you have to watch from afar.
How did the Dr appointment go Ginger, did he have any reasons for the pain still being there?
Glad that you were able to get your flight changed Jude, I don't imagine there be any flights happening anywhere in the path of the storm. Do you have a connecting flight then from Colorado to Wyoming?
No honey locust trees up around here dill, at least none that I'm aware of. Hopefully they'll find and fix the problem without too much difficulty.
There's finally light at the end of the tunnel! If the canola, weather, and equipment cooperate we should finish up harvest this weekend, maybe even Friday...Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking.

Good morning Cafe. Thanks for all the words of support. Milton was a Category 5 last night and has weakened a bit but not enough. I am literally sick with worry. I am not going to lie. Scared for my family, friends and neighbors. We are under a mandatory evacuation starting at 6 am this morning. Storm to hit tomorrow night into Thursday. We have hurricane windows and garage door but storm surge is what I am afraid of. We are very close to the Gulf of Mexico and with Hurricane Ian our community flooded in the back near the gulf. Our condo sits more in the front towards the road. I have the ability to watch from my video camera as long as we have internet. The pond behind my house is about 10 feet from my back door and is already at capacity. So now we just pray and wait……This is exactly why we bought this tiny home to avoid Hurricanes……. Jude, I am glad that you got your flight redirected. Staying away from Milton is the best news ever. You will be safer flying than driving in this day and age. Your sister will be happy to see you and get your help and support. Cowboy, here’s hoping your get that harvest done by the weekend! Ginger, damn that knee. I know you are impatient so maybe the doctor will encourage you to just give it more time. I am sorry that you are not springing back as fast as you would like. Dill good luck with that leak. A week of dry weather should help getting the equipment into the area. Hope everyone has a great and sober day. We are going bike riding with our neighbors from Florida that also live north. If we have a lot of damage Mr R and our neighbor might drive down this weekend to assist in repairs.

Mercy! Rava, thinking of you and the people in the way of Milton. I'm so glad you're north.
Jude, I'm so glad you got your flight changed!
Not good news about the knee. Apparently, the cartilage has a large crack, clearly visible on the photos from surgery and stage 4 osteoarthritis. Dr cleaned it up as best he could but the only way to get it back to "normal" would be a replacement. I'll go back and on the 29th to discuss next steps and hopefully get a hyaluronic acid injection, if medicare approves it. There's also stem cell injections that have proven affective in some people but it's definitely not covered. I keep telling myself, it could be worse
Thanks for listening, dear friends. I will not drink over this, however, I considered it for a moment on my way home. I'll take another day of freedom
