Sounds like a pretty good place to eat. Anytime I ever got down near Alan's, I always went to the 'Throwed Roll' place. They had good chow & I couldn't even finish a chicken fried steak (small version)! I found a good chinese buffet here, but it's about an hour & a half away! We've got a big mac & a little combination grocery/sandwich shop. I don't know of a 'real' restaurant in town, I may have to go searching here later.

Morning all,
Just got back from a VA appointment at John Cochran. I forgot how much fun it is to travel down town in rush hour traffic.
Not sure what I'll do today but I've still got plenty here to do.
Take Care and be safe.

Afternoon Everyone!
I'm trying to get this tire crane done. The further I get, the more little details I want to add to make it more user friendly. My biggest fear is giving it back and later hearing, "Why didn't you do this?".

Maybe THIS time? This 'Cloudfare' thing was down this morning. I kept getting an 'error message' from them saying it was down. It said MY system was okay & FTE was okay &that the problem was that thing. Wanted to post a couple for Rich (even though they're NOT pink
). Maybe it's fixed now??

Got some new stairs put up and a decent buck. Back to work for me tomorrow and my deer season will be over since I work this Saturday……it doesn’t seem right that I have more 6 day work WEEKS than I do DAYS of vacation in a year ☹️

Evening folks, I got the compressor motor dropped off to the repair/rebuild guy. Come to find out he is a Vietnam vet, X Huey mechanic. So we got to talking about helicopter maint, M60 machine guns, M134 mini guns and 2.75 rocket pods. I was there way longer than planned, but cool to talk to a guy that understands trigger time.

Morning all,
Just got back from therapy. This sure cuts in to my truck time.
Went to John Cochran (Downtown) for a bone density test yesterday, still no results. Gotta go back to JC Friday for a dermatology appointment. My provider said they updated my lab request so I'll try to knock that out and get a flu shot both while I'm there.

For any of you who didn't know JC and JB are in St. Louis proper. JC right close to downtown and JB overlooking the Mississippi River south of downtown.

Went to a specialist today. I should be the hand model who's hand won't lay flat. A hereditary afliction, can't remember the name, starts with a R. Got an injection at the base knuckle, right hand index finger. That finger was numb for a couple of hours. Half expected to see it drooling like it just left a dental appt. Small finger, same hand will require surgery with a minimum 6 week recovery. Need to get it done, only opens about 90* from my palm. It has become more of a liability than an asset. Will have to clean out the company service truck. He won't let it sit at my house unused for 6 weeks.
This is my 2nd straight year sitting out of deer season. My hunting buddy of 30 years was too sick to go last year and died earlier this year, just wouldn't be the same. Have been stuck on public land since the family homestead sold 35ish years ago. Was starting to be like real work anyway.
Time to move further out in a few years. Starting to resemble s st louis of 37 years ago before we moved out to High Ridge. Probably going to relocate closer to the boy in Bourbon. Have daughters in Co and MI. My wife hates winter, kinda rules those out. Acreage is still cheap in the U.P.
