Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Drew, I do windows myself. No screens. Except on back porch. No ladder required. I can reach all the windows standing on the ground. Takes about 1 hour to do house windows. Add another hour to do porch. I use same equipment and cleaner that window cleaning company use. I did all the inside of windows with my sisters help during her visit this summer.

Good morning TBN. 52 going to near 80 today with a bit more clouds and slim chance of rain overnight.
Temps are supposed to drop about 15 degrees tomorrow.

I got 10k steps yesterday and the day before. I haven't had less the 7k since Aug 1 and as many as 15k. Damn dog

Yesterday was about the same. Cleaned up the drive 1/4 mile of driveway some more and worked on a couple of trails after my trip for fuel. Blew leaves out of ditch alongside of the drive. I'll blow as long as they are dry as it is so much easier.

Still waiting on FEMA to come look at the lack of bridge and still shopping for a decent tank or culvert. They ain't cheap. Kinda hope FEMA decides to help. Time will tell.

Still waiting on my son. Maybe today maybe not. Either way we will be here.
Not really sure what I will get in to. No lack of things to do. Just what I mentally want to take on.

But off to whatever. Have a great and safe day!!

Happy, have to laugh about dog. My Sassy likes to go for walks to back of my property. Almost 1/4 mile. Yesterday she looked at me sat at back door. That walk generally gives me 1500 steps. Even without her walk I got 7,200 steps. Today she will probably want to do that walk twice. A 8 lbs dog does not walk as far as larger dogs.

my challenge with steps is the more i walk the more my back hurts.
I only averaged 1750 steps during my rv trip. Was kind of hoping all the bouncing around would give me
more steps...
overall I average 2300 steps. That's lethargic for most of you. On a day I do four or five thousands steps I'm usually in pain.
but I do it anyway. Just trying to delay major back operation at L5 as long as I can. And now when I walk I can start to feel it in my legs which is not good. I try to suck in my stomach and keep better posture, that helps.

taking 13 pounds off has helped. Taking the next 13 off is not going to be easy.

Ron, all my windows without screens I do with pole mop.
reminds me to talk to landlady today, show her bent screens, holes, etc and why I can't open them anyway.
30 year old Andersons that are simply worn out. With my pollen allergies I don't open the windows anyway.

I don't know how many of you stayed up to watch the World Series but this must have been
truly fun to watch:

With his Los Angeles Dodgers trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the 10th inning, down to their last out, Freeman took the first pitch he saw into the right field grandstand at Dodger Stadium and sent more than 50,000 fans into delirium as the Dodgers took Game 1 of the World Series by a score of 6-3. It was the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history.

56 going to 72. More wind.

Tax appraiser show up 1pm nice young man,he did some looking writing I ask how much do think my taxes will go up,he reply 2%-4% some residents will see around 10% .
He ask couple times where the bear Boo was,I said you have nothing to worry about long as you don't get out of your car Boo was 60'+ looking from behind a BIG pine laying down.

Boo would have come out in a hurry if he had replied 10%, right?

My mom was moved to rehab yesterday afternoon. When I found out I decided to drive down and help her get settled. I was there when the transport ambulance drove up. I looked in the back window...what a big smile she gave when she saw me. Stayed until 8pm, visitation was over, so skipped dinner, but made sure she ate as much of hers as possible. She likes the food there. So much better than the hospital.
