Good Grief

It's been a while since last post.  Holidays over and I have survived.  Been cold/rainy on the weekends so not much riding since Thanksgiving.  Took bike in over the week is Thanksgiving, like I normally do, for a "tune up/cleaning" , and got a little dirt on it this last weekend.  Upgraded to the 20th century with a new iPhone 7 and an iPad Pro.  Really like them both.  Also was the recipient of a fit-bit.  Made the statement "I wonder how far I walk at work?"  So now I know, 6-7 mi a day and when I walk to the STARS game after working I get in 9 mi.  See RPh jobs are not as sendentary as one might think!!  Now you know why I need to rest 4 of 7 days a week.
Enuff for this week

House

House is painted and re-roofed.  Now to pay for it-start being a WalMart greeter.  Gong to get cold down here this weekend 57/43. Hi/lo. Brrrrrrrrr.  Bring $ to GA to pay for the food - Lela already verified!  Cardboard tubes and 8x15 cardboard.  All heading to MI.  Jared is bring his trailer so I can fill it up.  Working one more week then heading to GA.  Other than all that same old stuff in Big R.

Hockey-Hockey

Had 4 games WE-SA, Allen on WE and FR and STARS on TH and SA.  Split both series.  Rode bicycle on SA and SU.  Cold down here 50's in the am. Time for a windbreaker.  On the SU ride one of our riders fell in a crack and was run over by a following rider.  The following riders chainring (front teethed ring) ran over his face.  Lots of blood an resulted in 3 police cars, 1 ambulance, and 1 fire truck.  Trip to hospital as he was not really responsive and the worst part he is undergoing chemotherapy for Mantel Cell Lymphoma and is somewhat immunosuppressed.  Lots of police reports and now waiting for more info from the hospital.  Back to work tomorrow and off to vote today.  Getting part of the house siding replaced and house painted, new roof and windows fixed from hail this spring.  Lots of fun. All for this week

Another periodic post

Burrrrrrrrrr cold down here.  59 yesterday and had to wear a windbreaker on the bike ride.  Did not ride SA as the Appple meeting happened - stayed inside and warm!  STARS preseason is over and regular season starts TH.  Allen Americans season starts this SA/SU.  One preseason game and won 2:0.  Dust Bunny loves this colder weather as I have not turned on the furnaces yet - just wearing more clothes and wrapping up in blankets for TV watching.  Back to work tomorrow so I can continue to afford the hockey tickets.  All for now

Roof Fun

Started the process to replace my roof.  Had hail in May - June but lots of claims and I had no leaks, other real damage etc. so I decided to wait until the emergencies had been taken care of.  Have had 3 nails in the front tires (3 different times) from the roofing nails not swept up.  Had to get one new tire as it was too far to the side for repair.  Getting cooler and rain maybe 3 days this week.  Rained SA but I was at the Apple meeting so would not have ridden anyway.  Did get in 35mi on SU.  STARS and Americans seasons start soon (probably mentioned that before).  DSO had Megan Hilty last FR - good concert.  Other than the pain of the new roof SOS in big R

SOS from Big R

Not much new - work etc.etc.etc.  Did however make a trip to Houston with my friends Cathy/Jerry (old dive friends) to visit other old dive friends.  Sat around all weekend telling stories, playing twin 4 Laboradores (sp). Had them chasing balls all weekend.  They were tired in the evening.  The couple we stayed with have two kids one of each and the lady is in the Navy and is not stationed in VA.  Just returned from deployment on the carrier Truman.  Son works for sporting goods store and is also a diver, boater.  Lots of stories.  Back in Big R and resting up to return to the VA Tuesday.

No pictures - just booooooooring "prose"

Been hot and a little rain.  Been trying to ride but heat is tuff.  Has not stopped the 30mi ride on the weekend.  Has stopped the 40-50 miles however.  Heart is ok but time off has decreased the physical stamina.  Waiting for hockey GO STARS and Allen Americans to start.  Off to see another Black and White play on FR.  I'm sure I mentioned these before.  All actors in shades of  gray and black as the sets.  Like watching an old time black and white movie.  Always funny and you forget about no color until the cast comes out and meets the audience after the play.  Still working.  Had a visit with the pacemaker MD and now all Inhave to do is send in (wirelessly) the report every 3 months and they will evaluate and let me know of any problems.  That's enuff for now and back to the boring!!!!
