Good Mornin' Bill and my other BN friends!
Nothing special for us today except I will soon get the corned beef started in the crock pot and then add cabbage, potatoes & carrots later.
My arm is healing well - followup with surgeon to get stitches out on 3/24.
Now I'm going to make a consult appt with Dr Knee. I've already had 4 injections over the past 10 years with the most recent 3 yrs ago. I know there's lots of arthritis in there and hope that I get as much relief with another injection as I had in the past.
It's cold today and for the next few days but it looks like Sunday will be a beach day.
Enjoy your day but try to keep your shenanigans in line

Good morning Bill and Linda.
My day got off to a great start. I had a doctor's appointment at 8:15 so they could draw blood for all the tests they do. I have to go back at 8:30 next Tuesday for the regular doctor's appointment and to go over the results of the tests. When I got out I went to my car in the parking lot and it wouldn't start. I called AAA and they came and replaced the battery, which they had replaced 6 months ago, the day before my last doctor's appointment. At least the replacement was free.

Good morning Bill, Linda, Larry, and Debbie!
Today we have sunshine and temps in the upper 60's. Good for drying out the snow we had on Saturday, so the sidewalk is dry for my dumpster runs.
No corned beef and cabbage here.. no one to cook it for, and I'm too busy packing.
Linda? What is it that is injected to your knee?
Larry - no more Dr. appointments for you. But glad AAA fixed it for free.. I think over the years, AAA has been an amazing and reliable service for us.
Ran to Home Depot yesterday, got some wardrobe boxes and a big roll of bubble wrap. Then Cameron helped to get the stuff way up on the shelves above the kitchen cabinets down for me. I can't keep all of E's coffee cups, nor all of my cook books.
Have a good Tuesday!

Some good luck on this "lucky" day

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!
Working on a corned beef dinner right now. I'm also listening to a weird podcast with about 20 panelists. They're talking about McCasland's disappearance and all of the issues with AI. They're all arguing and insulting each other, which is fairly odd. But anyways, have a wonderful evening, everyone!!

You're getting pretty familiar with the HomeAwayFromHomeDepot, MsMod!
I've always considered myself to be a SonOfASonOfASailor Norwegian kid (both my father's parents came from Norway in the 1890's), but climbing around in the family tree I discovered that one limb of my mother's paternal branch is Irish (Burke and O'Brien) and that one of my 17th great-great grandfathers married a lass from the O'Flaherty clan... my wife's clan! OMG, we're cousins!

They DO come in handy, not that far away, prices okay, but it's SO big!!
I have no Irish - I'm German, English, and Czechoslovakian.

HinKids!
I know pain should probably open the MSC, but I didn’t have any witty opening line.
I didn’t do any celebrating yesterday other than asking the dog if she wanted to do an Irish Jig . Been busy with work, which will continue for at least the next two weeks. Getting over my sinus infection as well—feeling better but pretty much over the snot and coughs. Still grateful for my health, so this is more than manageable.
Coral Reefer stickers go on sale for those using an early code today. Will try to Pine Knob tickets at some point today.
Take care, all! Almost time for me to make the donuts. Do commercials even use fun slogans like that anymore??
