High here yesterday was maybe 72.  Got into the 40s overnight.

 

Yeah Dutch people like cold weather...

[N-o-l-a 7,168]

It is great, we've finally been able to go for walks again.

[SAT 9,609]

I gotta go clean the battery terminals on the boat. There's 4 of them. With a thousand wires coming out of them. And, it's hot, humid. And, I'm lazy...

[cdneh 3,112]

No humidity here for a change!  Took dog in for her last ear checkup, and she is fine. Status dramaticus all the same. You'd think she was being murdered.

 

After quite a long and involved three phone call argument with the transplant center's new-ish nurse, she was made to understand Himself will be seen every year, in spite of what she thinks. For your average TX patient not as often as that is fine, but that is not what he's like. I gave up, in the end, trying to make her understand the situation. I e-mailed the Doc, and within 5 minutes she was on the phone all apologetic.  I offered it helps to read the actual chart.

 

So, he's booked for them, and Cardiac, and Neuro. Leave on Sunday and get back home on the Wednesday, all going well and no admission this time. Booked the dog in for the stay. Sad state of affairs when your only holiday this year is a hospital visit

VACATION ringed in with a few glasses of wine... many!!!

[SAT 9,609]

I'm just finishing my vacation. 

Needless to say, I didn't get #### done.

No fishing, no farming, nothing. Eh but there's no fish out there worth catching in late July anyway.

<sigh>

I guess I'll need another vacation in August, to actually go somewhere.

And September, to pick apples 🍎

And maybe November, for hunting and fishing...

And December, for Christmas

And then Chinese New Year...

 

My wife is talking to her sister on the phone, (Gump's wife, that sister). And man is she long winded. And she stops mid conversation and talks to me. And she's trying to talk to her sis on the phone, and me in person. She's got me all confused, I dunno WT-h she's trying to ask me. How frustrating!

And Gump has these tax questions for me, what I look like, an IRS auditor??

(He has an ITIN, not a SSN)...
