My follow-up appts for cancer occur every 6-8 weeks. I didn't have insurance for a few months, so I paid for the visits out of pocket. The cost was $200. Now I have insurance again, which we pay for. My last checkup will cost me $280 on top of my $50 copay. The insurance system is a joke.

That's awesome. Keep on being stronger than.

Your contribution is noted and appreciated.

I don't even believe he's Christian. So what's the difference?

Sorry. It was a lame joke. I just sell my eggs cheap, because poor folks need to eat too, and I'm not an asshole.

Sure. That would make sense. Twice divorced. Cheated on every wife. Adjudicated to have committed sexual assault. Had to close his "charity" for fraudulent activity..... seems a perfect candidate! We are doomed.

I have a flock of pet chickens. I'm lowering the average with $3/dozen. Sorry for skewing the numbers.

But you would be willing to learn tonown birds, I'm sure.

Thank you. How could I not? I think some people just don't realize everything that having chickens requires.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for loving Nutmeg.

I believe I forgot to mention, but we rescued a dozen birds from a bad situation. They are coming around nicely. Our flock more than doubled overnight. But look at the eggs! #chickens

Post breakfast hangout with my Silkie, Karen.

I love both of these things!

And now to lighten the mood... cats. Jinn, Mars, Ms. Vanjie, and Misty. clockwise. #catsky

I miss Scarecrow. I used to work right down the street.

I will make sure to post it. It's nice to meet someone who understands it. Though it was incredibly unpleasant at the time.

That's fantastic!

I love it! I've been trying to decide how to paint mine. I kept so many trophies. It's been quite a ride.

It's difficult to explain to people. Did you keep yours?

A year ago today I got my tracheostomy. Before and after. #fuckcancer

The new goat house is coming along nicely. Got the walls up and the roof on. Cut out the first window and door. I'm getting there...

Sunset in the valley yesterday.

Today, I cut the rafters. Low pitch sloped roof birdsmouth cuts are tedious.

I feel like unless you miscut the birdsmouth a lot, they still work fine. I probably should slow down some. Though I'm a firm believer in measure twice, cut once.

I do that on smaller, finer projects. Perhaps translating that to all my work would be best.

Probably the consistency. But even that is perplexing. Consistency is an aspect of all framing, really.

But why? Why do I hate them so much? They've been a part of all my coops, but I still despise cutting them.

Today, my wife helped me get all the walls up. Now for the roof, and I hate cutting birmouths in rafters. So if anyone wants to stop by and take care of that, I'm cool with it.

I love it when the goats start shedding their winter coats, and it gets stuck to their horns from the scratching. It's like little tassels.
