~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, Hope that summer cold is getting better! They are so annoying…. Cowboy thanks for the breakfast. Its perfect! Slo, good luck in your showing today. Hope you sell it. Glad you are having such a good time with your daughter’s family! Dill our headquarters is in Florida. Our northern home is better for catching crabs as we have a dedicated fishing pier on the campground site. No plans for today other than rest my damned back. No drinking planned…. Hi to Jude, Techie and Mul. 24 more please and thank you!

That's not too much of an extra drive dill, but definitely something to consider as we get older. I think that's one of the reasons farmers retire into town, to be closer to all the amenities required as they age.

Hopefully you'll get an offer today that you can accept Slo, then make your offer on the new condo. As Bobby McFerrin says "Don't Worry, Be Happy"

Summer colds suck Ginger, I'm just getting over one.

Glad you can enjoy your coffee on the porch in the morning Jude, I'm hoping to be able to sit outside today and do some reading.

That was quite a catch of crabs Rava, I imagine the meal was very tasty!

[Ginger999]

Ten crab! Rava, that's a great haul! I don't know east coast crab. What kind are they?

Yummy as usual, ABC! Pancakes are my favorite. Dill, that was a great cup of coffee. ;~)

Slo, fingers crossed your showing goes well and they buy it so you can get the one you really want!

I can't decide if this is a cold or a massive allergy attack.. I don't feel bad just snorting and coughing. Hoping to turn the corner today!

Waves to all! I'll take another day

[Mulburry]

Been off here for a bit, my brother is out here at my mom's now too, so lot's going on. Got a few walks/hikes in before this heat wave that's just hitting us today, and saw an osprey and a whole pack of vultures (unusual for them to be here at this time of year) down by the river.
Glad to hear the good cancer news from both Jude and Techie! Also, very interested to hear more of your medicinal journey's techie,

P.S. Crab is sooooo good! One of my favorite savory foods!

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe! I'm going to have to sleep in on Sundays from now on so that I can enjoy one of Cowboys fabulous breakfasts.

How did the condo showing go yesterday Slo? Fingers crossed that you've found a buyer.

Dill, the closest hospital to me is 25-30 miles away which does worry me a little. I guess that's just one of the trade offs of living in the country, but I love it here! . My next place of residence will probably be in a nursing home anyway.

Rava, those crabs sound delicious!

Waves to all!

Twenty four more please...

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

Not to worry Jude, just pop back in a little later Sunday mornings if you can. I know how hard it is to sleep in if you're used to getting up at a certain time.

Enjoy the time with your brother and mom Mulburry.

We've got some hot weather forecast for us this week as well, best get out and cut the grass today.

Have a great day y'all!

Ginger, my gf had a visit the second half of June from her daughter and granddaughter who flew in from the Eugene, OR area. The poor little gdaughter was sick for the entire visit! She arrived with a cough and low-grade fever and was lethargic. A trip to the ER tested for the usual suspects but nothing beyond an ear infection was found so she was put on amoxicillin and cough suppressant. She improved but only somewhat. When they went back home this week, they went to her regular doctor who explained that she had pneumonia and that there has been bug going around out in their area affecting lots of children. The doctor in our area didn't have that info, so maybe missed the diagnosis. So, make sure you stay on top of whatever it is you have going. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks Cowboy for another excellent breakfast!

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

[Rava]

Good Monday morning Cafe. Slo, looking forward to hearing how your showing went. Ginger, blue crabs are good eating but they are definitely messy. We eat them right on newspaper. Thats a tradition in our parts of the neighborhood. LOL. Dill your poor friends granddaughter had a rough visit for sure. Glad her doctor was able to diagnose her and treat her appropriately. Hope everyone has a good and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.

[Ginger999]

Dill, that's terrible about the wee one. I hope she's on the mend now that she's home and properly diagnosed! I'm scheduled to have hand surgery Wednesday so I'm hoping I'm well enough to move forward with that. I'll not get another appt before we head south the way things are around here! Fingers crossed.

I've never had blue crab, Rava. We only have Dungeness and King available around here and if you can't catch them yourself, you are looking at $25 a pound for a whole crab that ways approximately 2-3 lbs. The average Dungeness yields about 1/2 lbs of meat. Do the math on that! Lol

Slo, any news on the condo? Are you tired from your weekend?

ABC, do you have any side jobs coming up besides Adam's cabin? Just wondering how a busy guy like you is spending his time

Jude, hoping each day is getting easier for you. Thinking of you.

Mul, enjoy your brother's visit. Are you two close? Is he your only sibling? I'm jealous of your hiking!

Techie, do you guys have another trip in the works? Do you guys blogg about your adventures? Sounds like there'd be an interest in that.

We had a quiet weekend. Those don't happen often! I'll take another day.

[Slo]

They didn’t like my condo, so didn’t want to write an offer.

The little family drove away an hour ago. All of the kids & grandkids are spending the next week up north with each other and ex-HB and his gf. Ouch. I sure enjoyed having the time with my visitors!

My foot is in bad shape. Off to meet with a shoe specialist to try to get a good orthopedic shoe to have altered. I start PT tomorrow.

Gotta go, but more later.

[Jude58]

Slo, sorry that the condo showing didn't go well, but there is a buyer for your place out there somewhere.

Hot and muggy again today, but it is July 1st after all.

Hope that everyone has a wonderful, booze free day!

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Can’t believe we are already in July. Where has the time gone? Slo, I am sorry that the condo viewing didnt work out. Real estate right now seems like it has really slowed down. Our condo value in Florida has dropped to much lower than what we paid for it. Makes me sick. We have no plans of selling any time soon so hopefully it will increase in value. I am too old to play these games so we shall see how it works out. Our tiny house is holding its value. I guess it depends on where you live. Florida was hit so hard with hurricanes that insurance has tripled making buying and insuring almost unaffordable. I have now been booze free for over 2 weeks and I keep reminding myself how good I feel mentally. Such a huge difference, not thinking about drinking or regret after drinking. We will NEVER regret not drinking. Must remind myself of that. Hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday. 24 more please and thank you!

[abcowboy]

Great job on 2 weeks Rava! Keep up the good work! And you're right, we'll never regret not drinking.

Too bad on the condo showing Slo, try to stay positive and wait for the right buyer to come along.

It's going to be hot here as well for the next few days Jude, thankfully we don't have much humidity along with it.

Hopefully the little one got over her illness without anything serious happening dill. Pneumonia isn't something to take lightly.

Good luck with the surgery tomorrow Ginger, hope all goes well. I do have a few jobs to do this summer, nothing big, just jobs that last a day or two. And there's always people calling for small service jobs that need doing. It gets me out of the house a few days a week anyway lol.
