    Well, my good time in this hospital is costing about $338/minute for a 6 hour stay.

    Had a trans esophageal echocardiogram scan this morning to check for blood clots prior to my ablation procedure early tomorrow in Temple (a one hour drive north of us). The TEE is like a colonoscopy, except in the other end……and without the “prep”. Had a very nice 45 minute nap during the procedure. Oldest son will be driving us up there this afternoon since I can’t drive after this morning’s anesthesia, and Mrs. Brat has not driven on an expressway or Interstate highway since 2013. Son’s wife will follow us to bring him back home. We’ll have our car to drive back & forth from the hotel to the hospital tomorrow. We’ll repeat the return transportation Friday.
  4. I dunno about the shale…what with re-fracing technology improving over time the production in some benches could hold somewhat steadier after the initial decline. So I heard.
  5. Yeah, but he’s only 87.
  6. That’s what I do.
  7. I hope X’s agent is smart enough to get him a better contract.
  8. Layne was plenty fast when it came to bar hopping and while DWI. Seems just like yesterday to me. Tommy Nobis comes to mind.
  9. I certainly appreciate the care given by the doctors & nurses whenever I’m in the hospital, and let them know it. I never say “I appreciate you”, but rather “your help” or “your care”.
  10. Now yer talkin’.
  11. The game is over too.
  12. Good luck on that 30 year old plate.
  13. Steve Patterson approves.
  14. My grandpa went to the business school at NWMS in Maryville. They probably were using peach baskets for goals then.

    Thanks, but I’ve had 4 stent implant procedures and an aortic valve replacement that all went in through that section of femoral artery over the past 25 years. It probably looks like a pin cushion. 2nd time in 2003 produced the worst bruise - from my right knee up to the belly button and to the small of the back. That’s when the nurses had to use their hand pressure for at least 30 minutes to help it clot. Those were very awkward conversations. The newfangled “plugs” that seal it upare a godsend. My retired police officer nephew in the Kerrville area had his ablation done Tuesday in San Antonio. His retirement hobby is bbq catering, and he is serving 150-200 people at a Super Bowl party in Kerrville today.
  16. Must be a special edition of Cracker Jacks.

  18. I never had the desire for a HS or college ring.
