Got a bad tummy ache today. I've mentioned before that I have been getting these bad "cramps". On and off, like every week or two. They last 3-5 days, then go right away.

I think it's my "diverticulosis" acting up. I've had that since I was like 18. But I don't know. I haven't been checked in that area (due to no insurance) since I was 20. Hope it's nothing worse.

What I do know is the doctors said they "flair up", and usually perscribed "Keflex". Well I just had some of that for when the sawblade went through my finger. I stopped taking it after a few days, because I could tell it wasn't getting infected. So now, I am taking it for this. Yes, I know I should see a doctor.. but myself (like most every other self employed person) have become our own doctors. If it gets "worse", I'll go in. Not till then.

I got a show in the morning. The Bay City thing again (the one I didn't do much at last week). Roxann really didn't want to do this one. She wanted to visit her parents. Me, I am getting bad behind in child support.. so I'd rather make what I can. Even though I won't be feeling well. I can still get some work done, got some orders from a guy stationed in Iraq. So I can be busy.

I've been working on her parents lawnmower. It's a nice "WheelHorse". 12 HP even. I just don't know what is wrong still. We had to replace a tire. Did that. We went and bought a new battery. It wasn't charged fully, so I charged it. I changed the oil, fresh gas. Even jump started it with the car. It seems to "try" to start, but never really does. The plug has been cleaned, but we are gonna buy a new one next. If I don't get it running, the kids will be mowing it my hand. And that takes "weeks" to get them to even try (and it's a big yard). We got the "YARD NAZI" (kinda like the soup Nazi on Seinfeld) living next door. He's been bitching about the yard. Always to ME.. lol, and I am after the kids on this always. It's their job. If I get the riding going, I will have to do it. That's because Roxann doesn't trust her kids with it. I'd rather teach them to use it. We'll see what happens, I'll keep working on the mower till it works. They said it was working last time they shut it off (years ago).

We gotta get our garden in soon. All the plants are coming along, just in little planters. We want a huge garden this year, but need someone to plow it up. My buddy Craig can do that. The problem is, that back yard retains "water" real bad. So it's usually wet. He needs to bring his truck and plow in. Plus, we may have to go through the "yard Nazi's" yard to get back to it. It will only be a few feet into his yard, but I expect him to bitch. The cop dude who rented the place next door just moved out. Not sure if I scared him away, or he just got a better job.. lol. We could go that way. Chit, nobody will be there so I think that's that best bet.

Ok, I'll let you all go. Take care, Gary :)
