He was diagnosed before Christmas. Cancer sucks. Very strange medical coincidence: another neighbor, 3 houses away from the one who passed away today, also has brain cancer although he is fairly stable right now.

Took an additional hour and a half to get here. On one, the people wouldn't move to the side of the road to let the fire trucks an ambulance through. We couldn't believe their stupidity or disregard for the law. CGRO, sounds like you have just as bad a problem as we do with ticks this year. It's because we didn't have a long enough cold snap. Think the fleas and mosquitos will be bad also. Leaving fresh donuts for the early regulars
CGrover Champion Author Twin Cities Posts:32,543 Points:3,164,730 Joined:May 2003	Message Posted: May 17, 2013 8:33:20 AM Ignore CGrover Report Abuse Good morning MrGG, Handi, BG, and everybuddy else coming in today. Another great off road group ride last night in New Brighton. 10 riders. I found 10 wood tics, and we rode about 12 miles. I saw the weather last night stating heavy rains starting at 5:00 am. morning bike ride starts about 5:30, so I decided to pass. But, waking up this am at 5:30, there was no rain, and no rain when I left to drive to the bus at 6:00. All dry. But, at the bus stop I drive to, it was damp, so it had rained, but a while ago. downtown was a little wetter. I would have been fine. MrGG, it is weird how Mpls doesn't follow the National Bike to Work Day and week. Here it is some time in June. go4, so do you want a fan with some salt blowing thru it, or is that a cocktail? ross, good to see you. That reminds me, better go check in and see how the TC meat up is going... BG, sounds like you are traveling? Have a GREAT day everybuddy!!

I had light frost this morning, and it's going down into the 20's tonight. Maybe I should move back down to the Detroit house, and deal with the natives from across the south Atlantic Ocean and the Persian Gulf.
