Went to a Memorial service for a friend of mine. I've known him since the 9th grade. It was a happy occasion as most of us hadn't seen each other in years. Daughter wrote a great obit for him. www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/kennesaw-ga/david-bramlett-11696617Then back to the house where 4 grandkids spent the night. It's amazing. 10 eggs, lb of bacon, bag of powdered donuts and 2 kolaches for breakfast. "On his return to Georgia he married Linda (the aforementioned raven-haired beauty), raced dune buggies, and continued his love for UGA football." Good Man !!! No man is without a few flaws.

In retrospect, Bucky's and my life were probably very similar to a lot of southern boys growing in the 60s. Probably a lot of boys growing up all over the country.

Put condenser head back on,put that chiller back online. Meant the new greenhorn and introduced him to joy of brushing tubes. Went to get parts for 2 other jobs and Atlanta traffic was decent for a change. Might take new prospect to Clifton rd. Looks like noise and 4 large chillers won’t scare him off. Get him ready for the foosball stadium job.

My Dermo wants me to do the blue Light treatment as well. I'm not much for staying indoors... Let me know how it turns out there Cad man. I assume they are talking about the Aminolevulinic acid (Levulon) treatment with a blue light activator for you. This is the fourth treatment I have had. Each treatment consists of two session 8 weeks apart. I had session one today. Second session will be in 8 weeks. I had my face done. For me it is either face or scalp. First the lady cleans your face and puts this ointment on you and you sit in the waiting room for an hour to "incubate" as the lady put it today. Then they stick you under the blue light for 10 minutes I think, it may be 15 minutes. You bake while the ointment and light does it work. It stings like crazy the entire time. They give you a little fan that helps some. After that the lady rubs your face with some sunscreen and they send you home. your face will sting a little the rest of the day. You will look like you have a sunburn and worse if you go out in the sun. So, if you do it, stay out of the sun! You only have to avoid sunlight for 24 hours, at least that is the rule they give me. You can go outside the next day but wear sunscreen and a wide brim hat and try to stay in the shade. I am going to do some house and garage work today and then tomorrow I am doing some welding on the jeep, so my sun exposure will be close to zero today and minimal tomorrow. Just plan some indoor project the day you have it done. It does seem to help reduce the number of spots you need to have frozen when you visit the dermatologist or I would not do it. Not a big fan of it, but it helps, so I tolerate it every 18 to 24 months. I recommend it if the doc is having to freeze a lot places when you visit or you have had to have stuff cut out. it will help.

I'm not looking forward to my first dermo visit. Sure he/she will be finding all kinds of stuff to freeze or sample or whatever.

Don’t put it off, I know 2 people that have died due to skin cancer spreading somewhere else. Lost one Grand Father to it. He had several removed over the years. One came back to haunt him. This was back in the seventies/eighties. They have MUCH better treatments now.

I'm not looking forward to my first dermo visit. Sure he/she will be finding all kinds of stuff to freeze or sample or whatever. I'm going for one of my twice a year's on Monday.......she'll freeze for sure, maybe cut something. Been going on for 20 odd years. Had all 3 kinds...... You'll get used to it. The smell of burning flesh as they cauterize might even make you hungry. And if they cut close to your ear, close enough to where you can hear the hairs clipping under the skin......that's interesting. And......after a while......you'll not even go back to have stitches removed. Louann's been ripping them out for a LONG time. And......be aggressive.....let the Dr. know to be aggressive, aggressive because if you and they are 20 odd years later you'll still be doing what we did yesterday..going FIHING!!!

The freezing isn't bad unless it's the top of the head, then it stings like crazy. Ears are very sensitive too. Just grit your teeth and be ready to feel like the docs burning you. Freezing used used to remove AKs before they become cancer. Biopsies are a piece of cake. A little topical to kill the pain and slice with a razor. When it tests positive and they have to cut it out is when it gets fun. I got a dent in my back from the hole the doc made removing one and a small scar on my cheek from another. Mine have been Squamous cell and basal cell, which don't normally metastasize unless you ignore them for a very long period of time. Melanoma is the bad one that can spread to the lymph nodes and you want it gone quick. You hear the word melanoma, get concerned and as bswiv said, be aggressive and be sure they get all of it.

Today.......worked on a couple of land management planning issues before loading up and running over the Bradford Sportsman Farm for a Forestry Association meeting. They had a sporting clays shoot after the meeting that we did not participate in.....because it was going to take another 3 hours of the day.
Ran back to Palatka.......checked a couple of stands for possible burning tomorrow and then loaded up a few traps and set them in preparation for Master Naturalist group that's coming on Friday.
Then....with the gnats eating the hell out of us we cleared one of the trails so that the group that's coming Saturday can get down it to this giant cypress......24 feet in circumference....as part of their day.
Now......working on the burn prescription for tomorrow.......though.......we may not pull the trigger on it as winds look kind of low......
