Spent a good part of it recycling used pressure treated 1x6 deck boards. Needed them to replace rotted raised vegie bed boards. Got a coffee can of used deck nails.

Felt good to be in REMISSION especially on my Birthday. KEYTRUDA works wonders on Merkel Cell Carsinoma. A treatment every 6 weeks is keeping me Cancer free.

Oldest Kid moved off the place and sold the double wide leaving 2 covered porch decks behind if I had a use for the wood. Some good 2x6 and 4x4 framing for this and that.

Picked the first vine ripe tomato on my birthday too. Sweet Corn is Tasseling. Wife made a fresh batch of Quick Dill Pickles. Some of the seed catalog picture perfect cucumbers I ever harvested. In 30 days the COWPEA harvest should be in full swing.

No time left to go Fishin

Happy 78th birthday Ken!

Was keeping you in my thoughts today and getting ready to celebrate 75 years tomorrow!

My Son and family brought me a B cake and I shared a ride on my new to me D15 II around the yard with my grandson!

Had a great time!!

Good to hear your doing so well. Happy birthday an best wishes for the coming year. You were a real inspration to me when the Doctors had me all tied to the hospital bed back in 16 most of the summer. But you are making me feel a slacker with all you have going.

Same here hope you had a good 1. Dang sweet corn seed is still in the sack here. Old gal wants to buy an enclosed trailer to pull behind motor home. Might have to find 1 and make a road trip. I'll bet sweet corn would sell good at farmers market here this time of year.

Sorry I'm SO late Ken, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY and so far the BEST NEWS I've heard this year, REMISSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES, DO NOT OVERDO it!! You need your body as strong as it can be. I am SO glad to hear this, probably not as happy as you are though!
You will still be among all of my daily prayers too. God bless and have a GRAND year ahead of you!

Dang Ken it's amazing they got the cancer in remission and you're feeling good too. The docs. can't seem to get me feeling any energy and I'm only 76. Shoot.
