Mornin' gents

6 days MIA this time. I gotta get caught up on posts.
Trying to roll out of bed and get some exercise in before heading to work, housekeeping, dogs and field trials (we snagged a 4th place ribbon this weekend), and work has interfered with me sitting down and checking in.
Looking forward to a lazy Labor Day weekend.
Onward and downward ;-)

Good morning!
Lee, it is good to hear from you again. Congrats on the 4th place! I hope in all of your busy-ness that you are finding some "me" time too.
I have a chiropractor appointment this afternoon. I'm hoping to get some house work done this morning.
Right after breakfast, I'm heading out in my old truck with my camera looking for some good shots. I am going to keep walking, but back off a little. I don't know why even after all these years I jump head first into a routine, only to find out that I'm older now and need to work up to my goal rather than push so hard. Sigh….
Mike, I hope that you get your car soon, that it works well, and that it does not drain your retirement savings.
Have a great day!

Morning. 50º and cloudy this morning. What a change from recent high temps.
My hiking first thing, nearly every day for the last 6 weeks, seems to be paying off. I am down 5 or 6 lbs. this morning. Have to remember not to slack off now. Still have 25 more lbs. to go.
SUV is in the shop, the guy thinks will be done today. Meanwhile driving DGD's white Jeep. Like riding in a dune buggy, had to stop on my way home to get a nail removed from one low tire, which DD says has been low for months.
DB in a hotel as they get rid of the last of their NH log cabin contents and head for sunny Florida for good. I will miss him very much. He and my 94 y.o.cousin Marie are the only family remaining in my generation.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning gentlemen.
I have a dental appointment first thing this morning, to place the permanent crown on my front tooth. After that, my day is open.
I spent time in the shop yesterday and finished a nice walnut bowl. The holiday bazaar I take part in is just over two months away and I need to produce a bunch of pieces.

Good Morning
This afternoon I have my final PT session. I've been going since early June, first for my aching hip and then 5 weeks to work on getting my back turned around. It has been very beneficial and it is good to have a path forward with exercise and stretching that help me move forward. Scale finally moved again yesterday for the second week in a row after a few holding WIs. Now at 17+ lbs with lots to go. One day at a time. Big watering day for me and a chicken to roast. I will have to avoid turning on too much of the US Open Tennis.

Good Afternoon, Happy Humping!
Morning interrupted by call from home where DMIL is seems she was up all night screaming and disrupting other residents. Still wearing same clothes, she had on Sunday with where she had dropped food all over herself. Room a mess where she had pulled stuff from drawers and closet.
Did not get to walk Pablo till after 11 this morning, though day started cool sun and humidity is really heating up day.
Sad day in Minneapolis with killing 2 children and injuring 19 more. No idea how to deal with evil.
Good to hear from Lee.
If one has not been moving need to start gradually and slowly build up; then, never sit down or slow down too hard to get moving again.

Our run of hot days in a row is over . We had 6 days in the 90s to 100s with the hottest being one day of 100 deg and one day of 102deg. Hot for us. today in the mid 80s and brief drizzle this a.m..
Yup congrats on the ribbon Lee!
Good luck with the Chiro. Steve.
Glad to hear you are down a bit Mike and getting in some hikes. I am trying to watch less of the US Open myself in the early rounds. Did watch a bit of Tiafoe's match during lunch though.
Amen Sam hard to know how to prevent the evil in Minneapolis. I think rational cool heads should prevail more often even if not perfect. Don't know all the details.
