So Lori the nurse popped by and gave me some disposable undies I've got to wear for the surgery - plus I got some red socks - and one of those smocks to wear - which ya bum hangs out of - and some antiseptic body cleansing washcloths -

Ahh - I'll ask her later if she's a Loridana or not - got 2x2 hours sleep so far 😴 - now 10 hours before my operation - I wonder if I can get back to sleep now -
So it's 'Nill By Mouth' - which means absolutely 💯 - no eating or drinking anything - for the time left before surgery - can't even drink water !
Lorraine. Laura. Lorelei. Lotsa more thataway.

Ah, but Himself gets screwed on that-a-one: I cannot (*sob*) have either coffee or cocoa. Or tea. Or any fargin thing with caffeine. Jeez.

No booze, either. I sit here sipping my mug of chicken broth. <-- TINS

It is the price of being borned in 1940. I've always felt responsible for WWII. I got born** and everybody onna planet started shooting at each other.

Smocks, I was explained why by a veteran nurse, but it didn't convinced me: “you look better than the other way round“, she said, while changing the sheets. Surely she meant the style…
Funny how one enters hospital with a thousand troubles and instantly get rid of 999 while sorting the one. That is always something to look forward.
Here, a good luck elephant.

even if the computer is toast you can pull the hard drive and salvage the pics

here in the us, the hill billys call that noodlin'

We did that in the Washita River during low flow when it formed deep pools connected by shallow rivulets.

You have to do it by feel, because you can't see in the murky water and the trick with catfish is to avoid the sharp spikey fins. Their are also Carp, Buffalo, Gar, snapping turtles and water moccasins in the pools.

"The Original O'l Farts Club" sounds like a fun and playful name for a group or club, perhaps composed of individuals who share a sense of humor about aging or who appreciate nostalgia. It could be a social club where older adults gather to reminisce, share stories, and enjoy each other's company. Alternatively, it might be a humorous online community or social media group where members bond over jokes, memes, and anecdotes related to getting older. Whatever the context, "The Original O'l Farts Club" suggests a lighthearted and inclusive space where age is celebrated rather than bemoaned.
That and moooooore................................ Coffee on the right, chest waders on the left, and the shi.t locker is straight ahead.

Good morning brothers and sisters! Let's start this morning on an upbeat note and hug the person you woke up next to! Gypsy, if you are in a private room or next to an ugly guy, consider hugging a pretty nurse.

Cloudy here starting at 44F and predicted to reach 57F.

I cut out the damaged section of PVC piping supplying the backyard faucet and was fortunate to be able to save most of the existing faucet section, with just enough good plastic pipe left to glue on a coupling.

There is a circuit to drain the system in the winter and I discovered a BIP nipple between the PVC and the brass valve, which was almost rusted through, so I replaced it with a 304SS nipple left over from WolfWurx, Inc. I also got a 3' long 1/2" 304SS rod to drive and clamp the faucet riser to, to take any strain off of the PVC pipe.

I will finish it off this morning and start getting my tamater and herb gardens ready for planting. Besides tamaters, I'll also plant a couple clones from a local dispensary, and some more herbs in the depleted herb garden.

I have to start my cannabis plants in my caged herb garden to keep Melissa, our 12 year old grimalkin, from eating the seedlings.
