    Sometimes I wonder how I survived to this age... B)

    Do you have ample accident/disability insurance? :D

    Who'd be foolish enough to give it to me... B)

    BTW.. I was talking about carefully walking out on the thin ice 2 days
    ago to get water, staying where it was only a foot deep water or so..

    Today when I went out I started to re-cut the hole and it seemed to
    be really solid (I was jumping up and down) so I went out to deeper
    water to chop the new hole and I had to cut through 6 inches of ice.

    I couldn't believe how much it had thickened in 2 days.
    I hauled out my big wooden box with a lid that I put over the hole
    once winter finally gets here, so now I just have to wonder if
    things are going to warm up again before true winter gets here
    and I'd have to pull it all out again..

    I got a note (and phone call) from Hydro today saying they will
    be turning my power off on Dec 17th for 4 hours to work on
    some local lines. I hope it's no longer than that, which would
    be really annoying.. and maybe, with luck, it will not be quite
    as cold as it was today. (High/Low -13c/-17c 10f/-2f)

    You can't really go by their time estimates because my last 2 power
    outages, one they said it would be off for 4.5 hours, and it was
    off for 10 minutes, and the other they said would last 5 hours and
    it was off for 27 hours..

    I have VA and Medicare as well as a Medicare Advantage plan. I hope so!

    I was going to say that I have our gov't Medical Insurance but I don't
    think those plans do anything other than give you immediate medical assistance.. After that, if you end up disabled, you'd be applying to
    a different gov't service..

    Sean,

    I'm so careful not to fall standing up, but I manage to do this
    while sitting down!

    I'm glad you're still on this side of the grass.

    And, I'm not giving up my title of King Klutz without a fight.

    Maybe you need a T-shirt like the one Janice got me before she
    passed away.

    Front: WARNING!! KLUTZ ON THE LOOSE!!

    Back: DANGER!! ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN!!

    Her response?? "That's him!!".

    Nice to have the spouse so supportive. <G>

    Daryl
