It is back to the old grindstone today.

I suppose my recovery is progressing suitably. I really don't know. My nose still seems to be sedated. It just kind of tingles. Of course it is sensitive to touch. I did follow instructions and removed the dressing, however I have yet to look at what the surgeon did. My biggest problem is my left eye. It feels extremely dry and funky, and just isn't performing normal. At some point today I will boil the wound with peroxide and dote a little neosporin on it.

I felt well enough to run out to K.O.'s shop yesterday morning. We were doing some measurements and trying to figure out some mechanical changes. We did make a trek to inspect some equipment we are considering acquiring. He showed me one machine, I asked him to locate another brand for me to show him my preference. Once I showed him the differences he agreed that we needed the one I preferred.

We have five weeks to make some necessary changes to the equipment project and then we are back on the road with it. I told K.O. I didn't want to spend a bunch of money for a one time out before a major remodeling like we have planned for this winter.

I did learn yesterday that we are not returning to last week ends show site in late September. That doesn't really bother me. That is a really hard show to do and many of the people are mean drunks! But I'm not saying all of them are. I would have honored my commitment to do the show, but welcomed the reprieve.

After I had left K.O.'s shop I spent a little time with our hydraulics guru. We are trying to analyze a lot of possibilities.

I had a call from Rian yesterday. He and Erica had gone to the doctor to have a sonogram done. Rian kept telling me they were going to have a girl this time but I would tell him it was going to be another ornery little boy. I was right.

Colby and Courtney were supposed to find out what they are having as well. I haven't heard though.

It sounds as though Kirb is doing very well at the U. I hope he can stay healthy.

Let's get today out of the way and have a weekend!

Oh FATHER, for YOUR love....
