We have a cool event happening at work today. It is Wind Appreciation week. For Power that is. Not Wyoming style. We have a 59 meter long blade in our parking lot for visitor to view as well as the Schnabel tower trailer hooked up to the truck with the big sign.

Truth be told, I've been practicing for retirement! Chased dogs around So. Missouri for 25 days staying in the camper, payed off the Dmax, bought the wife a new to us Acura MDX with me keeping the old one, actually had a horse go full blown rodeo on me without warning to the point that I chose to get off before playing superman, and best of all, met my grandson Toan for the first time! His mother (my oldest) and husband live in Detroit......go figure, I was safer in DETROIT than Chicago!? Tomorrow, is my LAST first day of school marking the end of summer until next year when I get to live the dream of Endless Summer......wasn't that a Beach Boys song/album?How do you pronounce that name of your grand son? I have a friend named Roan, Row-N. Is it Toa-N or tone? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn’t see a “welcome to Utah” sign on I-15 when coming in from Idaho. :PWhat is with the weird left turn lanes?? Wife had us go by the “Up” house out in Riverton/Herriman first and came across these a few times.Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkWe never said welcome because we get to many from Tate and Jrs side of the world and don’t need them stayingThey have tried some off ball things like that. Four leaf clover things that are weird U turns. Not sure what the hell actually These things are supper comical to watch big trucks go through. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Eventful day, Jeep is still down waiting on DS which is supposed to show up tomorrow if fedex doesn’t screw that up & I’m not hopeful. So took my better half to work, on the way there one of my moms friends called. My mother lost her mind, literally did not know where she was or who she was but she thought she was 24! EMS took her to hospital, initially they thought she had a stroke although she had passed all the cognitive tests, raise arms, smile etc. So after several hours & speaking with a neighbor friend we think she had a severe migraine, potentially took too many of some med as well. As of this evening she knew who she was & who my wife and I are. Kudos to my wife and her management / nurse skills. I had to go to the mountain to pick up the lathe & was out of cell service most of the day. I got this inspected and picked upOn way home grabbed wife unit & we discussed my mom further. She is 69, for some time we’ve questioned if she didn’t have early onset Alzheimer’s? So she was also diagnosed with a UTI, my nurse wife read directly from an Alzheimer’s website that in elderly with early onset getting a UTI can cause the dementia to is essence flare up. So there’s that, she was admitted and will be let go tomorrow. They ran some tests, mri & blood work up. So we’ll see where this goes.
As seen in Missouri while I was there - Duck rides might not be so popular anymore! Who’s the dumb ass who thought windows on the side was a good idea?

I can see where it could cause an increase in the outwardly visible symptoms if one were suffering from dementia but I don’t think it’s necessarily an indicator of the disease.

So think we figured my Moms issues last night. Her nurse came in at 3am to find her stats had dropped way off 70, they put two different machines on her to help bring them back up. Still couldnt get her up past 90 & called Dr in. Keeping her at least another day and doing a sleep study, severe sleep apnea. Essentially she is breathing so shallow she cant remove carbon dioxide, at 3 this morning she was out of it again. As they raised her stats she started coming back around. Explains her constant being tired, weight gain, incoherent at times etc. shes not getting sleep & when she is its labored.
Had to replace the battery in the Acadia in the middle of the road trip... wouldn’t start yesterday nor again this morning. 7 yr battery, likely original to the car since it is a 2011. I think it lived a good life.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Been doing some serious research on those minis in the 8000 lb range, about as big as I can haul in the dump trailer, and boy do they hold value. This one started at 25 and ended up getting it for 22, with 1500 hrs, and cab with a/c.Only thing missing is the thumb I'll need for forestry work. I picked Volvo because they have a great rep, and one of the highest hydro flows in that size..26 gpm... capable of running a decent brush hogSent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
