    MariMcKeon - I do seated workouts I find on YouTube. I have hip/knee and balance problems, and can't get up and down from the floor (and horribly afraid of falling)... these seated workouts have changed my life! :) just search "seated exercise" or "seated workouts". There are all kinds. Some are very simple and others are very advanced. Good luck!

    Another busy week! Tuesday we had 70 third graders here at the park. I worked with the park educational specialist and had the kids catch invertebrates from our lake to see pollution levels. They found some strange looking creatures! But the lake has a healthy biome and is clean.

    Tuesday night we had a tornado (very rare in New Mexico) touch down and cause damage about 10 miles from the campground in the evening. Wndy but no damage here. The kids' teacher left a box of trash from their lunch under a picnic table. You can image what racoons and wind did to that!

    Today we have sustained winds of 30-45 MPH with gusts up to 75 MPH. RV is rocking and a rolling today!

    Ordered script for natural hormone creams per doc and will see how that works
    Now going to have lunch then read for a while. I'm reading 'The Plant Paradox' by Steven R. Gunsry,MD at my docs request. Very interesting read!

    Margaret: I think of your work opening street drains as exemplary public service. Yes it helps you, but it also helps all of your neighbors. WTG!!! :star::star::star:

    Karen in VA: Your grandson is absolutely correct that wind turbines kill bats. All of the windmills in our area are east of the Cascade Mountains. We can see them from the I-80 freeway. They are on both sides of the Columbia River. Perhaps your DGS will someday invent a solution to the windmill problem for bats. :heart: I’m fairly certain that offshore windmills are not as dangerous to bats because the food they hunt would not be present there. If he finds that out, I’d love to know for sure. :smiley:

    Rebecca: I’m delighted that you have access to the base gym. It can be a very good thing. I try to get to the gym 3 times a week. I don’t always manage, but I get there 3 times in most weeks. I'm healthier and happier when I get regular exercise. :flowerforyou:

    Rori: I share your advice to Tracey to split the Costco membership with another family member. We split ours with our DDIL. Our practice is to alternate paying the membership fee every other year. :bigsmile:

    Rita: 75 mph winds could be very scary in your motor home. Were you parked broadside to the wind, or perpendicular? I suppose shifting winds could be an added “thrill.” I hope you stay safe and have no damage as a result of the windy conditions. :heart:


    I had a city meeting last night and have another meeting tonight. Tonight’s is for an organization that works on creating places for horse trails on public lands. I’m looking forward to it on the one hand, but regret having meetings two nights in a row on the other hand.

    I'm dreading the call from my accountant this year. I always do because self employment tax is hell, but even more so this year when I'll find out how much money came out of my pocket to pay give tax breaks to people who already have more money than God. On top of that I've got no idea yet what impact my share of Dad's estate will have. Am just praying the final distribution from Dad's estate account will cover what I owe! In the meantime, I guess fretting about it isn't going to do any good. After this year I think I may change accountants and look for someone local. We've been with the same one for years, but she has not been very responsive lately. I still haven't been able to pry out an answer as to when Dad's estate return is due and it's stressing me out. I need to have confidence she's on top of it and right now I don't.

    I’m not an expert, this is from the IRS website....

    Generally, the estate tax return is due nine months after the date of death. A six month extension is available if requested prior to the due date and the estimated correct amount of tax is paid before the due date.

    Katla, yep the definite upside to this whole move, is our access to base services. I do feel better when I go, I'm just sore today!

    Winds are still blowing. We are rocking around but otherwise wind is coming in from the back of the RV.

    :)Machka, I'm thinking good thoughts for your husband getting his drivers license back. Passing the tests is a great accomplishment.

    Hi Gals,

    Lisa you are doing great!!! I’m impressed

    Welcome newbies – Jillery,

    Wind turbines - I live not far from the Livermore wind turbines, they are interesting, when you hike near them they make a very distinctive noise, and while I have not heard of bat deaths, we do have problems with raptors being killed… I know they have done assorted things to mitigate the problem.

    Yvonne – I changed accountants a few years back, I asked other small business owners who they used and picked one of the referrals. It has been so much better! He has saved me a mint, but has warned me that as a small business with no employees the tax changes will not help me – I’ll turn my stuff in in about a week, and see how much it hurts.

    Katla – I wanted to spilt a Costco membership with my mom and she said we had to live in the same house…

    Tracy – sending good thoughts!

    Machka – Congrats to DH for getting this far; one more hurdle!
