Mornin' gents.

You beat me by seconds, Dave. DGS still asleep?

Off to work.

Trying to ignore leftovers.

Be OP ;-)

Good morning gentlemen.

I put up the outside lights, yesterday, then took DGS on a short hike in a nearby state park. Somewhere along the way I tweaked my back. I couldn't straighten up for the rest of the evening. Better this morning, though it still feels tight.

Morning. Hope your back feels better, Dave.

Met up yesterday with 5 of my kids and their families at a rural Christmas tree farm. Everyone wore masks (except the 3-year old kept taking his off) and folks ended up cutting 4 trees. Nicest time I've had in a long while. My kids wanted to know if I was starving because I looked kind of thin. That made my day even more!

Yesterday's state DPH report shows Mass. is really having a spike of virus cases now. My town, which usually has 0 or only a few cases is now in the 'red-zone' and most of the state's towns are having problems with containing it. A few areas are finding 25% of everyone tested is positive. The semi-wilderness area west of me is still quiet, where I usually go to hike, so that is good. I'll probably just hole up for the duration and do the rest of the holidays online. Will get out for solo hikes and maybe some paddling still, and get my groceries via pickup methods.

Our church begins to prepare for the Christmas season tomorrow. Nice to look toward the lighter uplifting things again.

Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning!

Dave, I hope that your back gets stretched out today, and is better.

Mike, that sounds fun. I'm glad that you were able to get together with your family.

Chores this morning, and then I don't know what is on tap for this afternoon.

Have a great day!

Good Morning

Dave, sorry to hear about your back. I hope you can do a little stretching. Ice helps a lot even if you can't use a Tens on it.

The ankle I tweaked on Monday is feeling a bit better today after another day of rest yesterday along with some heat therapy. We went for a nice drive around the vineyards in the Livermore Valley which is literally just down the road. When the SIP started we drove out there to keep my wife sane. The new growth on the vines was just getting going. Now the grapes are gone and the leaves are colored and browning. It gave us a sense of time. Today I will restart my mat workouts wearing an ankle brace if necessary. My pumpkin pie was a complete disaster on Turkey day. I left the sugar out. My eldest posted an Instagram video about it. So today is Redemption Pie day. I will try a spoonful to make sure all is well and to record an Instagram video about it and my mean son. I will also have to figure out how to do that and how to link it to my son. But I am motivated.
