The irony is that they found the plans when they demolished the building. SMH

Reminds me of the joke about the woman who buys a copy of Cosmo with an article, "Supercharge Your Sex Life!", and decides to give it a try. When her husband comes home from work, she greets him at the door and says, "Do you want super sex?"
He replies, "What kind of soup?"
He replies, "What kind of soup?"

I was given Norco for kidney stones. Day 1, felt okay. Day 2, felt like hell - limp as a dishrag and mildly nauseous, so I stopped taking it. Day 4, finally able to crap again.

Yeah. In my family, we just tell the punchline.
And then The Younger Boy crosses his arms like in The Black Panther and says, "Wakanda Soup?"

My wife was recently given Norco for a back pain issue she's having. The pain from the constipation was worse than the back pain. She has not had as severe a reaction to other hydrocodone-based meds (Vicodin) in the past.

I wish they would have given me hydrocodone instead of oxycodone. Oxy is too strong for me. not sure if that's just the way it affects me though.
Sorta moot at this point anywho. I think ill be done tomorrow; today is day 2 post-op. Prescription says 10 mg every 4 hours, I have only needed 5 mg today and I'm doing ok on mostly Tylenol. It's crazy how much this stuff is overprescribed.... there's a ton of pills in there. No wonder there is a opioid epidemic.

I remember that. That was back in the day when the 41 was quite saucy. Now it’s just watery.

...let's not go overboard. It was a two years on active duty, reserve enlistment (6 years total under the contract).
But it was during the troublesome years of '69-71. So every time someone wanted to "motivate" me, they mentioned jungle survival training with the Marines.

Don't make him angry. You won't like him when he's angry.

For Velo Vol: this was about 1/3 the harvest from a couple of years ago.
I think I call it "an orchard" because there are also 8 citrus trees, that are just recently ripening up. So tangelos, limes, lemons, three sorts of orange, kumquat, and a pretty good hybrid grapefruit called "Oro Blanco". Those are pretty carefree here, with few pests. Mostly it's keeping them cut back smaller, and not falling off the ladder while you're doing it. Apples here are a little harder, unless you're OK with worms in them.
