who has snow yet

Maybe you should start wearing pants outside

Yep good idea

It was up to 52 today but can't ride. Took my back out real bad doing some heavy lifting. Dr talked to me about fusing the back if it's the disk again, oh wonderful. Could mean the end to riding.
Yep I'm on Vicodin and a pill for inflammation

Well my Dr is the same one that Olbill who posts here sometimes is also with. He is the one who turned me onto him. There was a write up in the paper about Dr Harvey saying he is rated as one of the best docs in town. He is the best I've ever been with.
He wants me to try the course of inflammation meds first. If it's doesn't get better then he will order an MRI and talk to the specialist at Kaizer hospital which is where my docs at. Went through this 4 years ago and wound up having surgery for a bulging disk (my second one).

Sorry to hear about your fishing buddy Fatboy, that really sucks. He should get his house checked for Radon gas poising. Especially sense both he and his wife got cancer. Stuff causes cancer like crazy. Bet they have a basement to, worse place to live is a house with a basement and there is radon gas present. Can't smell it and don't even know it's there.
As for my back well it's a waiting game now. My daughter told me I was stupid for helping my friend lift it and she's probably right but nobody else there to help. Those inflammation pills have helped some. Tylonal seems to help cut some of the pain so I'll do that and not do the heavy pain killers .

When, when someone sells a house. I think everyone should have it tested on a regular basis. Vancouver WA has one of the highest radon concentrations in the west. That was caused by what is called the Missoula Floods that carved out the Columbia River. Here we have mostly crawl spaces with very few basements so radon can be easily vented out.

Yep radon is a gas that comes up thought the ground. It's deadly and most people never know it's there. Causes a lot of cancers.
PRODUCTION: Radon is not produced as a commercial product. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas and comes from the natural breakdown (radioactive decay) of uranium. It is usually found in igneous rock and soil, but in some cases, well water may also be a source of radon.

Columbia River was also created by a Glacier in Montana and when it came down it brought uranium with it and deposited it heavily into Vancouver WA and north Portland.

well still no snow here , but did get about 4-5 inches of more rain today & more on the way tomorrow

I had to go out an put down Moss B Gone on the driveway today. Some reason we're getting hit with lots of moss this year. Makes it slippery when trying to ride the bike up or down my steep asphalt driveway.
