Enjoying the fact that my 50" plasma screen returned from the repair shop today - had some serious decrease in the picture sharpness after about 2 years :( Ended up being a defective screen. Thank you extended warranty that I purchased as it more than paid for itself with this one!

Recovering from a Nasty fall in the backyard ..-- We just had a MONSOON like Microburst storm with 60- 70 mph winds , 3 -4 inches of rain in 15 min with quartersize hail and cloud to ground lightning

it brought down some tremendous size tree branches . I have one HUGE poplar about 135 ft high. it "rained" many good size branches BUT one probably was 40 ft long weighed i'd guess 300lbs .

Like a damn fool i'm out there trying to move this monster. When i tried to turn it over a branch i was holding snapped in the rain and wind and i fell violently backwards cracked my back on the trunk of the branch ( a tree in itself ) fell on my head backwards in a huge pool of water . I was Stunned and couldn't move --it scared the shit outta me

I came to my senses got up with the help of my wife and grandson and am OK just just a mite sore nothing broken. Gonna need a chainsaw on this Beoch

Wishing I got more sleep last night... cursing the very uncomfortable mattress... wondering why my kids insist upon waking no later than 6:30AM...

Funny, I heard the EXACT same 3 things from my wife this AM! Only difference was she swore at the mattress 1st and then complained about the lack of sleep :rolleyes:

Right now I'm doing a little net surfing, reading the paper and getting ready for the 1st patient of the day

It gets better. My 4 (almost 5) year old wakes up early, but if we are still in bed she'll just go play in her room until we get up.

My 3 year old will gladly rip the house apart if we don't tend to her right away. Then she gets her brother all riled up, too. :D

Right now, I am getting ready to head out. Bringing the kids to see a free movie at the mall: Arctic Tale. Maybe I can get some shut eye. :lol:

I'd guess more like a week from now WHEN you can move your arms again, then the Ping will be popping the ball a few more yards down the fairway ;)

Right now I'm just reviewing some numbers before my office's accountant comes in later today for the mid year review :eek:

My arms are tired after a day of woodcutting too, but it's usually because I've been through a cord and a half or so with a Husky 372xp. Still split everything by hand.

Sitting in the car surfing on the laptop. The kids fell asleep on the way home and if I move them, they'll wake up. Nothing like hanging out in your car in your own driveway. :roll:
