So great to see everyone. Going to try to stop by more and check in. Ginger feel better soon. Being sick sucks. Being sober is the best way to go.

Good morning cafe!

Drifty, good to see you back here and don't be a stranger! You're right in that being sober is the best way to go!

Peachie, the finger is still swollen but the pain is much better. I've been taking a boat load of antibiotics for 3 weeks with 2 more weeks to go. I have a doctors appointment next week and they will probably take another X-Ray to see if the infection is gone.

Cowboy, it sounds as though you are making good progress on the seeding. How much longer before you are finished? I'm sure that you can't wait to be back home with Bubba again.

Ginger, hope that you are feeling better. Are you still on antibiotics?

Mama kitty is doing well and is even starting to play with the huge assortment of toys scattered around my house. Looks like she might be here to stay. Foster fail!

Waves to Rava, dill and Mul!

Not today...

Good morning Cafe. Jude, I am glad that Susie is adjusting well. Sounds like your home is the perfect place for her. Our TV broke yesterday so we are heading to walmart to purchase another. They do NOT make things to last anymore. Well today is a busy one so I am gonna run. Wishing everyone a sober day. No Sun here until Thursday…..😞

[Peachie]

Hiya Cafe. Last day of sunshine here for awhile. That's ok. The farmers are hoping for a good drenching as it's been a dry May.

Great to see you Drifty.

Quiet day here but Zorro still around. Geez.

Time for dinner and soapie. Jude so glad Susie is settling in.

Night everyone .
Xxx

Rava, what is going on with the weather?!! We had a 1/2 day of sun here yesterday and it gave me so much joy! But here we are again, back in the gray zone today. I am waiting and hoping for it to pass and to finally be able to enjoy some outdoor activities. I bet you are itching for some beach weather.

Jude, I don't think anyone here is surprised or disappointed at your "foster fail", including you! . Susie sounds like a solid choice! I am hoping and praying that your finger heals with this course of treatment. Two more weeks to go is a good long time for the antibiotics to keep doing their work. Fingers crossed for you.

Drifty, so nice to see you joining with us more often.

Peachy, I have looked up the team colors and am delighted to learn they are purple and whilte. I love purple and where it fairly often, so maybe I've been a fan all along, without knowing it! Please do keep me posted.

Ginger, hope you're feeling better. How did you spend Memorial Day? We celebrated with just the two of us as our son couldn't get a break from work. We put up our Flag on the front porch and had big red smokies grilled. We also spent a bit of time outside in the woods and in the yard pulling weeds. First nice sunshine we've had here in quite a while! Nice.

Cowboy, hope all goes well in the field today!

Not today.

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

Sounds like Susie has settled right into her new home Jude, who cares if it's a foster fail. That infection in your finger must be a tough one to be able to withstand the antibiotics for that long. We have about 10 days or so left to finish seeding if everything runs smooth, which it didn't yesterday lol.

We can chat about most every topic under the sun Peachie, except for politics, no talk about that is the only rule. I think all of us live where we weren't the first people to be on the land, and it seems so much has been taken away from indigenous people everywhere.

Hopefully you'll get nicer weather soon dill, we have a beautiful weather week forecast up here with temps supposed to be in the high eighties/low nineties for most of the week.

Hopefully you'll be back to normal soon Ginger, I don't imagine you're enjoying not being able to get out and be active.

You're right Rava, nothing seems to last anymore. I can't imagine how many electronic things or appliances are filling up the land fills.

It would be so nice for you to join us more often Alison, keep us informed on what's happening in your corner of the world.

I got to come home to Veg yesterday afternoon, not because of rain, but because of equipment failure. We spent about 2 hours yesterday morning getting the seeder set up for canola and serviced all 3 pieces of equipment and then got started in the new field. I only got about 60 acres done when I got a hydraulic failure warning on the tractor hydraulics. Corey ended up phoning to get a service tech out as we couldn't find the source of the problem. Ended up being a shaft on a hydraulic pump that sheared off. The only one available was at a dealership in a town 2 1/2 hour drive away so Corey jumped in his truck at 5:00 yesterday afternoon to drive down to get it while the service tech started working on getting the old one out. They will be back out early this morning to put the new one in and then Corey will call me to let me know when everything is ready to roll again. Never a dull moment it seems lol.

I haven't got a chance to read back yet but hopefully, I will today. Ended up at ER again yesterday. My niece was working the ER and hooked me up with a great doc. He did all the bloodwork for heart issues instead of focusing on lungs. All was great. He's convinced I'm having broncial spasms and prescribed a short course of predniSONE. He is also prescribing an albuteral inhaler and wants me to take Zertec for a month. He has allergies and is suffering right now too. I can say for certain my breathing is better this morning. Fingers crossed!

I'll take another....
