Went fishing Tuesday. Got mud in water pump. Bottom line $160.
Today air conditioner is not working in Expedition. Haven't had time to get it checked out, but it could be from $100. to $1,000.
Good news is I got two calls last week for private parties. I thought I priced both of them so high I wouldn't get them, but they didn't blink. One is tonight, the other next Tuesday.
Should be enough to cover both of these unexpected expenses.

You've been watched over for quite sometime now. Glad you are feeling well enough to take on the work.

God Bless,
Don

Good Karma oon your side. Glad your feeling better and back at it.
Just had booking thing like that. Got a call to do a party back in my old area. Means a 2.5 hr drive each way and the place is not that easy to move in and out. One elevator for all. Blurted out a price and the lady said fine. I was thinking about it all day and called her back. Explained the long day it would be and I think I would need to adjust the price higher. Now to be fair I take a lot into consideration when pricing something and always try to give a good deal for all. I really didn't care if I lost the gig considering the work involved. She said she understood and the price was still worth all my time and effort. You never know

Yep, as Bill says, that's definitely good Karma.

I often equate things working out like yours did as an affirmation of the old "Law of Compensation" in action, although sometimes it happens too slowly for us to recognize.

It's nice to see you getting back in the groove again.

Party went very well, and I brought home about a gallon of Jambalaya for the family.
About the only thing bothering me now is that I have some fluid around my left lung, which is fairly normal. If diuretic and drugs don't help I will have to have it drained. Going for more X-rays next week to see if it is better or worse.
This fluid makes me very out of breath, especially when I bend over, putting pressure on stomach and lungs.
Susan is having a colonoscopy in the morning and we have to leave the house at 7:00. She had colon cancer at the age of 46 but has been cancer-free for 6 years now, so we are expecting good results again.
Thanks for your good wishes and prayers!

Don,

I will keep both of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Bill G

Good luck Don....I hope everything turns out very positive .

All the best to you and Susan, Don.

Don, she probably didn't really have a health problem, but suffered from the effects of living with a "a pain in the butt"!

R.

Ouch! I enjoy a good burn

Everything checked out great on Susan's procedure. No polyps. She doesn't have to go back for 3 years. I was wrong before, she has been cancer free for nine years!

Great news, praise God!

GOOD!

Now that is good news! finally. ;-)

Bill G

Well I'm going to Dr. in the morning. After X-ray he will determine why I can't breathe very well. I'm fairly certain it is the fluid around my lungs and that he will drain it. I think that involves a very large needle. Seems to be getting worse each day.

And this fluid thing will work out too. Praying for you!

God Bless,
Don

Hi Don,

My sincere wishes for your health to continue to improve and that you are soon fit as a fiddle.

Ian of the North

Well the doctor said my X-Ray looks great. He also said I was fat and out of shape and together with the recovery from surgery, that's why my breathing is labored.
Shoot, my wife could have told me that and there would be no co-pay!
It's great news actually. Now to start my rehab asap.

Don,
Sometimes bad things happen to nice guys and seems this is the case with you. I wish you the best for you and for your wife.
We all face tough times sooner or later and I have had a taste of the bad times too. God Bless, Lloyd

Well that's good news and bad news.

It means no big needle stuck in your side, but now you got to cut back on those great eats and walk those 18 holes instead of using the golf cart. ;-)

Bill G

Good news, Lardass - time for the treadmill.

Gary

Good news Don! Take care of yourself and Susan too. Drew started Chemo and Radiation yesterday. 26 more days of treatments and they will look to see if it's working. He has a tumor 4 doctors told him that they usually only see in elderly men. Maybe his youth will help him. We'll see.

Don ... just back on-line after taking a few bucks from the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City ...

Glad to hear your's and Susan's tests went well ... I need to be on the treadmill with you - been at it for a few weeks now ...

boo ... our prayers are with you and your family ...

Thanks guys!
Boo, we are praying for you, Drew and Penny.

It has been a really good couple of days! Fluid is gone, air conditioner on Expedition was only $170 to repair. Wife's check up was perfect and the tornado missed us again!
Also the doctor took me off the diuretic so I won't have to pee every hour!
Start cardio rehab soon and then this weight will start coming off as well!
Thanks to all my friends and I hope I'm not "sharing" too much!

Thanks for the prayers Tony and Don. I'm scared of what we might find out in 26 days. I don't know what else to feel.

Good news all around, Don!

Boo, just as we did for Don, everyone's pullin' for ya, too.

Don ... you're welcome, and definitely not ... it's when I DON'T hear from you that I worry ...



HOPE ! ...
