I have had back trouble since 1973. I had surgery in 86' which only helped for a year. This week it has been hurting more every day. Well, yesterday it left town. I've had to crawl at times to get through the house. It is better today, but I think it is all of the drugs I am taking for the pain. The wife gave me 4 hours to get better before she would load me up and take me to the hospital.

At least I can walk semi upright without my nose dragging the ground, but it still hurts like heck. I have applied for another job and it will be just my luck they will call and I won't be able to go. They ain't gonna hire somebody that can't walk upright.

My seeds all came up except for 6 so I feel good about that, now if I can make them grow straight instead of laying over. I have one cucumber plant that is a t least 7" long already. I was hoping to get in the garden this week to spread a truck load of leaves out but it's gonna have to wait.

I have a plan made out that this year I will dehydrated more than I can. I just hope I can find what I want at a decent price because I can't grow some of it. I did find a site that sells freeze dried machines for home use, but I'm afraid to call them for a price. Here is a link if anyone wants to look.
