I don't follow politics vey much, let alone US politics, but one thing I have noticed is the lack of political commercials being an election year on the US tv stations. Usually there's lots of mud-slinging going on via the TV and I haven't seen any of that, yet lol.

Spent a few hours yesterday getting ready for the Telus tech this morning. I managed to get a "fish tape" up through the wall and outside to the junction box mounted on the exterior. Explained to Adam what I did and he said the Telus guy should probably pay me because the hard work is done lol.

Once the work is done here, I'll head across country to the farm and load up material for the job I have to do Tuesday. Then back to Vegreville on the holiday Wednesday as I have to go into Edmonton Thursday morning to pick up an a/c unit for a mobile home installation. It's for a friend of ours out by the farm and when I stopped in last week to look at the job I found out he has cancer. He went in to see the doctor because he was having trouble swallowing and turns out he has a tumor in the back of his throat pressing against his esophagus. They did an MRI and CT scan and found cancer in his throat, liver, adrenal glands, lungs, and lymph nodes. Too late for surgery, doing the best they can with chemo. Not a good prognosis, but he's okay with it and trying to be positive about what time he has left...

Great to see you back [MENTION=17632]Mr Vervill[/MENTION], safe and sound I presume!

Good morning Cafe. So sorry to hear about your friend Cowboy. F Cancer!!! I hope they are able to keep him comfortable thru all of this. Dill, I hear you about the libraries. I downloaded overdrive app and was able to download library books to my kindle so luckily my reading was not affected by this mess. Thanks for another great quote Ginger! Heading to the beach today with family. Should be fun. Hope everyone has a great day. Another 24 for me please and thank you.

Cowboy, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. It's got to be tough.

It's going to be another hot one here today. I don't like hot and humid. Just sayin'.

70F and hazy, again.
Good to be here with you all.
So sorry to hear of your friend, Cowboy. Sad indeed, sounds like it's all through him. Hope he doesn't have much pain. Glad you can give some help.
One of the reasons, of many, for my quitting drinking was for health. AL causes multiple forms of cancers, or a least plays a large part. I just hope I've given myself a few more years.
I'd rather live life, than just trudge through it.
As to the world today, just because you're sick of hearing about Covid, or BLM, doesn't mean they've gone away.
Adjust, adapt, that's what I'm trying to do.
24 more please

Thanks everyone for the thoughts regarding our friend. He is a prime example of this morning's quote [MENTION=20929]Ginger999[/MENTION]!

Covid didn't affect his diagnosis and treatment at all [MENTION=22409]Quit wining[/MENTION]. He said he hadn't been feeling well for the past year or so, but kept putting off seeing the doctor about it until he started having trouble swallowing. As soon as they suspected cancer, they immediately shipped him into Edmonton for the MRI and CT scan, then started chemo. He says it's his own fault because he waited so long to get checked out.

[Ginger999]

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Ugh! That's rough, ABC. Let that be a lesson to us all. Get a check up every year and talk to your doc if you're feeling off.

Agate hunting with the grandsons today so I'm off! I'll take another 24, please and thank you!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

5:58 am in Vegas another 24!

[Quit wining]

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Another 24 hours please & thank you.

Cowboy, it’s a shame your friend put off seeing his doctor, at least treatment wasn’t delayed because of the virus. I’ve read that a lot of people have been reluctant to go to hospital or seek medical treatment out of fear of getting Covid. As Ginger says, if you’re not feeling right, get checked out.

Lots of rain here today and it looks like Canada Day will be wet as well. Best wishes to the Canadians here for a happy Canada Day!

Have a great af Tuesday everyone. Stay safe & well.

Proudly Canadian QW
