I left the facility at 5 am this morning. Took all the rehab I can stand. I'm feeling better as the various infections are letting up, I think Gemini got mad at me after I asked why Chat GP got the upgrade to recall previous conversations and Gemini didn't.
They do get mad.

I'm betting it's going to be warm enough from now on. When the smoke clears, looks like there'll be 175 or so geraniums I have transplant from 2.5" square pots to 4" round pots. It's a huge pain in the ass, probably unnecessary. As I vaguely recall, I was drinking when the epiphany came to me about multiple transplants. I haven't bothered to question it. Seems to work anyhow.

My pot plants didn't do well. Although I would never utter this thought publicly, I suspect my wife sabotaged them. She's been anti-me-growing-pot right out of the gate. I can grow anything. It is a mystery why these plants suddenly went pale. At any rate, onward and upward...time to plant marigolds and Zinnias.

The object here is to grow out like 500 or so annuals that I can transplant into the flower beds around the house as adult plants that can withstand the withering assault of the filthy chickens. They'll tear all the leaves off certain plants until it registers in their BB-sized 'brains' that none of the shit I have spent months toiling over is food.

There's this giant wholesale greenhouse operation like a quarter mile down the road. In reality, I could probably just buy all of this in one fell swoop for a fraction of what I pay for pots, seeds, lights, tables, trays, electricity. But that would take all the crazy out of it.

Spring in Michigan is like a mass-mobilization. We have to repair, clean-up, re-stock and prepare. This year, I have to convince myself and my wife (in that order) that I need a loader attachment for the little tractor I use to do things here. This isn't my tractor but it's one just like it and this is with the bucket:

I have this thing, 7 acres, a crock well. We'll be able to re-seed the human race when the bomb drops.

I don't remember what I paid for the seeds but I do remember thinking it was too much. But the reason to pay more is because the leaves of these plants have that maroon colored center, the cheap ones are solid green. It makes a difference. Half of these are 'salmon' and half are bright red. I drew a very detailed map of what I plant in which trays so I won't mix things up and then within 15 minutes, everything is all mixed up, I have no recall of what I planted where and it's anybody's guess until they flower and I can sort them out...in May. These get transplanted into 4" round pots that fit into trays of 10. I only need about 20 but when my wife's sisters become aware of what's going on, they'll descend on my nursery operation like those flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz. Having 175 gives me a buffer.

This has been circulating nationally. I have no idea what it's about or why she felt compelled to act this way. I'm sure it doesn't help her. Actually, if the Democrats would have picked Whit instead of the twit, they might have won.  But I think she might have just had her Chappaquiddick moment.

I'm really looking forward to having no chickens. Somehow we ended up with 12. They destroy everything, they're dirty, they attract mice in the barn. We can't even go out on the patio. There's no upside. Eggs are a hollow reward for what you put up with.

Just got back from Hickory where I completely fucked up my urocuff test.
 I didn't know it was self service and apparently I did something wrong because it never inflated until I'd removed the thing from myself.
   I told them that it was a good thing that next week's cystoscope test isn't self service.
  I think they got the sarcasm.

Some Serbian dude named DeJean Nikolic is going to be my physicians assistant May 6th . Looks like he's 12 years old. They're prepping me for some more hand surgery in May. He speaks English, Serbian and Bosnian.
   I speak English and Texan.
