    Morning…

    All fogged in this morning. Not sure what's on the schedule today.

    A fellow in town told me he saw two bears on Thursday, a 300-pounder 1/2 mile up the road from me and a cub on rte. 122. Another guy says he had two in his yard. Northeast only has black bears, I guess they're not as feisty as brown/grisly bears. Hopefully.

    Apnea tele-visit went very well. Apneas minimal, breathing good, hours of use good. Just keep on keeping on.

    I ordered a "down-bearing gauge" on eBay to see if the bridges on my piano are supporting the strings at a good height. It checks the angle of the stings on one side of the bridge vs the other. When I start epoxying the cracks in the bridge I'll need to check whether the bridge and soundboard are intact, and the gauge will help.

    Steve, hope the knees are okay. Did you get checked or just waiting it out and see?

    Good morning!

    My knees have seemed to improve with the weather. We are still expecting unsettled weather for the next week, however. I also think I may have been over doing it on the exercise. I need to work on moderation.

    Several different tasks will be worked on today. I have several things I'd like to get finished.

    I am making slow progress on getting rid of clutter. I work on it a little each day.

    Bill, still praying for your pain management.

    Have a great day!

    Good morning gentlemen.
    We’re on a warm-cool cycle, it seems. Yesterday was 80, today will be 65. Still pleasant.
    DGS has a soccer game this afternoon. I’ll work on the finish on a pair of projects in the shop this morning.
    I’m not sure what you are talking about, Mike, but it fascinates me anyway.
    Yesterday I bought a creeper to make it easier to work under my truck. I ordered some shields to bolt over the catalytic converters and they will arrive Monday. Every job needs a new tool, right?

    Good Morning,

    Lots to get done today, if DW feels like it will drop top on car and get her out of house.

    Laundry started, need to visit Walmart which I hate then get groceries.

    No rain for next 5 days, cool this morning but will warm to 80.

    We hit 85 almost 86deg in PDX yesterday Hottest day this year so far I think. cooler today for sure.

    Boy I wouldn't mess with a 300 lb bear no matter what. My brother wrestled a bear one time in a publicity stunt. I don't think that bear weighed much and was short. I think you won a car if you could pin it. uhhhh no way! Waaay stronger than they look.

    Hang in there everybody.
