Inspected a freaking hospital today, for some reason I thought it was open for business, luckily it's been closed-abandoned for about 5 yrs....which made me feel a lil better. I really didn't want to be around sick or dying people. Lucked out, that doesn't happen often.
Couple days ago, we got "occasional showers with NO accumulation." Next morning there was an additional 2" on the ground. But my reason for using bob so extensively today is that we need to take a cow and calf over to visit the bull at Pine Creek on Sunday and I needed to eliminate as much of that slippery shit as possible in order to be able to turn and backup the trailer.
I think the reason it was abandoned is the fact every waste pipe in the building was rotted all to hell, old cast iron, which rots from the inside outward. I can only assume someone had a pile of shit water land on them while in the operating room....I really couldn't believe what I was seeing, toilet water running out of suspended ceiling tiles from the fourth floor to the parking garage floor.....The board of health prolly closed down this shithole.
For some reason, I don't have a problem with that. I can be in a room with someone who has a contagious disease and I won't get it. Unfortunately, the bugs ride around on me, so even though I don't get sick, I come home and Lannie gets sick.
I understand, cuz you really never know when there will be another foot on the ground in the morning, regardless of what the guessers guess.
Wow! But is it repairable?
Indeed, after they spend about 200-225-K repiping the place.
I had no idea all the cast iron was rotted all to hell, I was just going about my business and could hear the used building salesman screaming from the first floor---STOP flushing toilets, there is something drastically wrong.....
I know I am out of my area of expertise here, but with all their rotted pipes, there is bound to be some serious floor/ceiling/wall joist damage and that implies lots of structural repair too. Or not???
The entire building is concrete and masonry block, even the floors are prestressed concrete. That place will stand long after most traditional buildings have fallen into a heap.
G'nite, Dale. Sleep well, dream well, wake refreshed...
I hope so (which is why we delayed taking Cricket to the bull until Sunday instead of today). Actually, it wasn't too bad this morning... sunny and we got all the way up to freezing -- OK, actually a RCH past that (32.1), but then it clouded up and started getting colder again (it's about 17 now). I went to Pine Creek and got 600# of oats for the chickens (they ran out of wheat). That wasn't fun, standing in the wind filling bags. Oh well...
Some more humor:
Ain't that the gods honest truth.....!
Seems like you always have more work lined up than one human being should try to do....
More fun:
Are we breaking our rules about political posts?
We're both just full of it, aren't we?
Yeah, we're nuts, the rest are normal............We're both just full of it, aren't we?
We ain't breaking jackshit........
Sing along: Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes...Yeah, we're nuts, the rest are normal............
Sadly, about half this country believes that wanting freedom, responsibility, work for a living, etc., are nuts when if you just whine enough, someone else will make the rules and take care of you so long as you comply with their stupid ass demands.
Can't wait until Trump wins by the biggest landslide in history, and all the snowflakes are screaming at the moon again..!
I wish we could be together on election night and raise our glasses to toast another four years of making liberals cry in their beers.
Good night my friend. Catch ya on the flip side...Well Rich, it's that time again...gotta wake EARLY tomorrow..........

What's the wind chill tonight....about zero?...or 5-below?
Finally getting a little nippy here, about 40 when I went to work this morning. Altho there was ice in water puddles on the roof this morning, so I'm not so sure about the thermometer in the truck.

I didn't know you were here tonight. I have not gotten even one alert that you posted anything.
Almost no wind at the moment. Saturday's high was 13 with snow, Sunday we made it up to 30 and today it hit 31. Both of us were so totally exhausted from trying to herd the cows yesterday in snow 12-18" deep for over an hour that, other than routine chores, we haven't done squat today.
And now that it is midnight and I still don't know if you are even here (what's wrong with the forum?), I think I'll just go to bed.
Not a whole helluva lot. Made it all the way up to 34 today.
Oh, by the way, I got an e-mail alert today about your post last night, 22 HOURS after you posted. Weird...
