Done with yard work for the day. My turn to cook dinner. Relaxing a bit before prep work. Everything will be done on the grill.

Had an electrician come out today to upgrade some of my old arse breakers in my electrical panel. Also had a whole house surge protector put in and since he was here, I had him change out an old light switch.

A lightning strike on the REC pole next door took out my well pump. 480 feet down. Not something I can afford to replace.

I hauled a big, heavy (but empty) set of bookshelves from the far side of the junk room (spare bedroom), navigated around all the boxes and whatnot still in there, wiggled it out the door, then into my office and into place. Too many books and things have accumulated on my work surfaces in here.
I consider my physical exercise complete for the day.

Home from the hernia surgery. Went well as expected. Now the careful return to normalcy. Glad to hear all went well. The toughest thing is taking it easy because my guess is you’ll be feeling like you can pick up more than 10 pounds sooner than they advise. As everyone else has said take it easy!

I will endeavor to take it easy. So far, I have no urge to lift anything, but you are right. In a couple of weeks I could forget that restriction. I will have to remain diligent and intend to do so. Lots of pain this morning, but that is how recovery is. Progressing. Thanks Dan.

I have the same problem and need to move some teak veneer book shelves in from the barn. Not sure where they will go as floor space is limited here.

A cool front has swept across the region today's high temperature is 81° and with lower humidity. I may go sit out on the deck again for another pipe later on. In the meantime, I'm watching the Guardians vs Twins game.

In the meantime, I'm watching the Guardians vs Twins game. This morning the humidity here was still over 75%. In the last hour or two, as the breeze picked up, it's down to 44%. A very comfortable 80 degrees.

It's unseasonably cool here, again, too. High today of 88, tomorrow only 85. Winter is coming!

Wound care had me bleeding like a stuck pig after debridement so it looks like all those stints and vein work are working good. The doc told me to rotate my ankle so he could get a better look I just laughed and said there are thirteen screws and four plates shrouded by thirty years of arthritis Iam rotating it. They are going to open a new Dutch Brothers coffee right around the corner from me. Daughter has bone cysts so a Harvard Medical Professor is going to look at her. I told the wife to send her a really nice walker for her birthday this weekend. Thats all the excitement for today. Peace and love, give someone a hug like you mean it.

You are one tough hombre. He eats horseshoes and spits nails. Seriously, that is a tough road to travel. It saddens me that you have to live with this, and deal with pain that must be unbearable at times.

Rain overnight, cool morning. The Swiss Chard, squash plants, and the Basil look very happy. They love the rain. I hand water them with stored rainwater but they really like the natural falling stuff. I have a sunflower growing as a volunteer in one of the boxes. This one is really happy with the richer soil. Three flowers budding. The Asters are blooming in the yard. Sure indication of the summer's end and the coming of fall.

I just had a hummingbird come by for a visit. I think it found the smell of my pipe smoke intriguing. It flew up to about 18" from me, hovered, edged closer, edged closer, squeaked at me, decided I wasn't edible after all, and zipped away. Cute little bugger.
