She is seeing a specialist for that but I don't have an update just yet.

She is back to work and happy to be there. I am happy for her. We've been talking a lot lately and she's doing great, but with some lasting effects. I'm not sure she'll regain the hearing in her ear yet, but, we're hoping the specialist will know what to do. My dad has been able to get back to work too, and my brother has grown up and decided to help her as much as he can.

We were on the verge of moving her in with us, but she's doing well and doesn't want that anymore. So all in all, she's on the mend, and I can't be more happy about that.
dont forget to hug her all you canbecause, one day you wont be able to. my mom and dad are both gone now and, theres so much i wish i could say and do for them now that they are gone and miss them so. the old sayin' ya never know what exatcly ya have 'til its gone is soooooooo true!

Finished mowing Hell’s Acre before the burner got switched to High Heat. Time for some inside stuff now, maybe a Whataburger?

Russ, ever been to Rodeo Goat?

That name just came back to me from when I was there years back. I remember loving the place, but who knows, I was younger and dumber at the time. There's probably way better burger places for those who are "in the know"

TLT just had her clutch cable snap. I had to go get her. She wanted to trailer the bike to the house. About 3 miles away. I Rev matched it and got it home. Easy. She didn't know that was a thing. But, she dropped the bike on the right side. She's okay though.

Forking hot today, 90's in MN is miserable. The two year old went to the other grandparents' today, so I only have my granddaughter and the 4 year old terrorist in training. He's been a bit of a pita, but so far hasn't broken anything. I still haven't found the tube (just the cap) of blue loctite he somehow got hold of last time he was here. Hope it's just dried out and not poured over something it can ruin.

I had that happen a long time ago, Started it in first gear, rev matched shifts, was several miles from home but got back ok. I'd hate to try it with a sportster though, that thing would be a bucking bronco till it picked up a few mph.
