1) I'm glad he is going to get checked. "Again" sounds odd since the symptoms are pretty solid. I guess the test wasn't conclusive. Overnight in a sleep center I presume?
2) You could be a bit more sympathetic ;) Hopefully he will get proper treatment and neither of you will have to suffer anymore.
He was checked once a couple of years ago. Its a wrist band that one wears when going to bed. Then turn it into the facility the next day. He was border line then. But sometimes he doesn't gasp...so I don't know why they wouldn't test multiple days.

I was so tired after a sleepless night due to him and then working at the fd bank yesterday afternoon, that I slept for 10 hours. I have yet to move out of the bedroom...

Good morning! Having hot tea, while coffee brews. We got 1.44" yesterday thru overnight 😳garden watered! Check that off list. Some more later but, they say just very light....sure hope that's true. Seems weekend to see more ☹️. Now it's being overdone.

Working today & short day Thur...then back into garden if it isn't mud by then 🤣 save some!! Aug is coming¡!

I need to go get the eggs, I didn't yesterday -- raining!! Just ran to house & stayed inside. Boots by the door.🙄

We got rain that started yesterday evening and into the night, not much went into the pig pond. Though that will change next week, a whole week of rain predicted. So far that will be two weeks of straight rain this winter, (yeah spring doesn't start till after Memorial day here).
With that much rain plus no one to load rock into my dump truck in over month and half I've only been able to get 3 loads of rock out of 16 from this one rock quarry, this is pathetic and why I shut that side of the business down.

Finally! I was able to get my car out yesterday and I went to church. Going to the sheriff’s breakfast this morning, go to grocery store for milk for lambs and come home. I’ll leave my car at the church so I don’t get stuck at home for days again. I can take the Kawasaki mule to the church and get in my car. Storm rolling in around noon.

@Baymule keep an eye on flooding forecasts, they’ve changed- for the worse.

Pretty today with highs of 80°F tomorrow is rain. At this rate I am running out of IBC totes to save the water. I have a half of a frac tank I am going to weld up any holes and use. A frac tank is 12' in diameter by 20' in length and can hold 16,800 gallons of water, this portion at 12' wide by about 9' can hold about 7600 gallons. First need to weld any holes up. Might start on that this weekend, problem is I need my excavator that is 4 miles away to move it, maybe just use the 5 ton and flip it around.
If things really get crazy by June I have 18' grain bin rings I can put a liner in and hold about 10k gallons of water. Water park anyone?

I don't know how many times my wife told me "you quit breathing for several minutes last night", and each time I say ya didn't think to wake me BEFORE I die.

Maybe not actual clarity. The comic was clearly meant to be funny but it is not factual. The people are not protesting in support of Hamas, in fact I suspect they are very much anti Hamas, but in support of the hundreds of thousands of Gaza based Palestinians who are suffering Israel's response to the horrific attack by Hamas on the 1,200 innocent Israelis.
It was just for funny, although people are now NOT hiring kids from some of these Universities. Also I don't think these children protesters know what is going on, or why their doing it.

@Weldman I'm thinking that you have a "lake" of water saved 🤔 plus a new well. Is your area THAT dry as to need the stockpile? How will you need to use --beyond your drinking/cooking, watering animals? How long will this last you? Is it every yr?

I live in an area with rain all year, plus ocean & rivers, so other than living in desert, this prep is huge -- to me. Now, I've visited out west and know things stored there last "forever" -- not like humidity here 😵‍💫 but!

So sun out here 👍. Temps good, need the surface dry out more from rains earlier in week -- dream on TX 😁 -- and hope to finish my garden tomorrow. Well, the major seeding & transplant finishing...mulch, etc. they're saying another 1.5 -2" over weekend. So, need to be done with "walking thru it parts" while good walkability. 😉 Today, job work until mid afternoon. Then I'll tractor bales of mulch from dry storage to the garden -- for tomorrow's use. Cardboard too! In fact, I'll get some more cardboard today at stores....I'm there, it's their trash 😁👍

That answer my friend is blowin' in the wind. Wasn't till May of last year that I got my first set of ducks, now we are at around over 150 of these running around, 8 geese and 12 guinea fowl if I counted right, a LGD and plus 11 pigs now in less than a year. We average 13 inches a rain here a year and have wildfires on random years, and the wife has gardens so safe than sorry is the answer?
