funny how things change over time.
when i first met the wife her family doctor had his own office and clientele.
i always enjoyed watching him give a shot since his hands shook like a recovering drug abuser but went dead steady at the last millimeter and in went the needle.
good old country doctor for sure, i caught him prescribing the hypochondriac MIL placebo's, and sugar pills on more than one occasion.
anyway i bring him up because of how he become a doctor.
he never finished high school.
i'm surmising that was because he joined the Army when WW-2 broke out and then used his GI bill to put him self through college.
starting out at a community college and then moving on to JR/state college before hitting the university.
i don't think you would even be accepted to a com. college without a bunch of SAT type tests and a HS diploma/GED anymore?

In WA a GED, available free in any school district, will get you into a Community College if a resident. Or a HS grad with a 2.0 GPA.
I like ginger and am going to try it.
I have found that products made by Mariani are first class.
I have a small area where the vine was to spade yet.
I`m hoping to get that finished and at least part of the garden tilled before the rain comes back in tomorrow.
The 3 roses are planted in pots in the front yard.
Now if only the deer will leave them alone.
Many of the flower bulbs that I planted last fall are up and blooming.
All the flowers help my attitude.

Waiting for a cousin and her husband to arrive, from North Bend, Washington. They'll leave Saturday and drive to her sister and brother-in-law's place somewhere in a very desolate part of Texas.
Looks like dinner for four at Chili's. Or five, if my sister shows up.

Forgot I had Some Flower seeds of my Wife's that Needed starting this month so I quickly got those flats planted. Now I have to rearrange all my 6 packs to accommodate those under the lights!
Got the finished approved High Res photo files from my Architectural shoot out to the Client today.
Son brought over his left overs from last night . He made a Corned beef and cabbage supper for them and his in laws yesterday, didn't want any more. I put the pot on to slowly warm up this afternoon. By supper time the smell was heavenly making Karen and I hungry! Well it was his first attempt and he didn't rinse the meat so the salt level was high! Also appears the fattiest parts were left and not much cabbage but a bunch of potatoes and carrots. Karen carefully picked through it for her meal but I of course became the glutton and finished the rest..... Fat and all!
Now I'm paying the price! I hate to see a good tasting piece of fat hit the trash.
Took the rest of the juice with bits of meat and potatoes and cabbage out to the outside cats! They cleaned it up & now they are laying around like me feeling guilty!
Well it is going down to 19 deg tonight with high winds so they will burn it off ( but not me)

Today was a busy day.
Early am Chiro appt, afterward I start to harvest meat off 2 rotisserie chickens and make bone brothe from carcasses, I snagged a unused 24 yr old 8hp generator for $120 (a one hour drive) off of FB marketplace, GC die from Canada arrives was suppose to arrive tomorrow, New samsung phone arrives was suppose to arrive tomorrow, I finish pulling meat and start bone brothe, then I start transferring my contact list from iPhone to paper notepad via a pencil...I get 4 names written down, and then...Buddy #1 stops over to have me order rifle mags for his Brother, Buddy #2 stops over to get my advice on ebike racks for car hitch, Buddy #1 leaves after I get everything ordered, Buddy #2 and I talk about Generators for an hour, right before Buddy #2 leaves, Buddy #1 comes back over with cash for mags and to show me a 1911 commander with alloy frame, right before Buddy #1 leaves, Buddy #2 comes back over to borrow me a paper manual for generator, Buddy #2 and I talk about ground wires-dummy plugs on generators, Buddy #2 leaves, I go check on bone brothe-it's been boiling for 4 hours-I usually only boil it for 2 hours, I strain bones from bone brothe, I have supper of pulled chicken in bone brothe, I am about to get ready to go to theater for "The Noah Flood: a world changed" this is a free movie and we get a short talk/sermon afterward, I guess to fundraise for Part II of the movie?

the kids went home last night, then they stopped in today to pick up all the stuff they forgot.
the Girl got out of the car and was determined she was staying here some more.
i finally convinced her she'd have to eat Aunt Jackie's cooking if she did, and that was all it took for her to get back in.
