Health Update: Unfortunately this Wednesday I have surgery to reinstall the drain in my spleen. I had the drain removed several weeks ago and at some point started having some issues. I requested a CT scan which ended up showing a small amount of fluid buildup. The surgeon recommended reinstalling the drain to eliminate it.

I’m really not looking forward to this. In addition to the procedure itself, the additional expense will just be added to the growing medical bills. The CT scan I just had cost me $600.

There are a couple things I’m looking at IF this doesn’t work I’m trying to save my spleen.

Above shows part of our front yard. We decided to plant some apple trees and are deciding on spots and pre-digging holes. We want at least 3 apple trees. We have one very old apple tree in the backyard that we’re really not sure how much longer will produce. I will say that last year we did get quite a few tasty apples off it.

Maine Prepper Girl has been getting into canning. Her most recent experience has been dill pickles. Cucumbers came from our garden. I haven’t tried them yet, but, the cabin smelled fantastic when I got home and she was in the middle of processing the jars.

Love me some pickles!

One of my favorite movies is The Tomorrow War starring Chris Pratt. Pratt is a favorite of mine and I think the plot of the movie is very original an production well done.

The main rifle in the movie looks like the one in the picture below:The Tomorrow War, Hera, rifle, AR, concept, building

I’ve thought of building an AR of similar design in the past and just having watched the movie it’s on my mind again. I like the design and it’s very different.

Maybe.
