Good Morning 384 zone minutes....that's rather impressive. Morning walking is continuing. My knee isn't loving it. I need to schedule an appt to get it shot up and try to squeeze one more year out of it till we move. Checking in with the Nutrition dept at the hospital in a few minutes to see how I am doing. I had a decent…

Good Morning I am a man of solitude, myself which explains my approach to my faith thru the Northumbria Community and the contemplative side. But my days of taking off by myself for a long solitary hike are long gone. But next to running a marathon, hiking alone in nature is about as good as alone time gets. I just got…

Good Morning I am glad you and Connie enjoyed the film. We found it clever, funny and very entertaining. It was a good date night offering. We enjoyed or walk along the East Bay in Hayward. Flat as flat gets but a good 15 degrees cooler. We squeezed 2 miles out of our bodies, found some lunch and ran an errand or two and…

Good Morning I hope that football game doesn't leave a scar. Tough weather and then to be manhandled at the line. Oy Vey! Feeling confident after my icemaker repair, I decided to tackle the lightweight vacuum sweeper that I thought I had fixed once but not for long. I called forth the spirit of Mike and got at it. It…

Good Morning I am sorry you are struggling with the long-term effects of Covid, Steve. It will take time. Coming to terms with that is not easy. My replacement icemaker was still not working correctly, or at all. So I channeled my inner Mike, took it out again and worked through the supply system, and then began to tinker…

Good Morning Glad to hear Sassy is doing well. I hope to get back to intermittent fasting. But right now I am just trying to stay on plan but that tends to lead into it anyway. WI today should be about break even. With Heather being so under the weather I am sitting with her more and moving less and eating fairly healthy…

Good Morning I predict Sassy will be one spoiled dog for the next day or two, Heather is quite ill. No covid. We are waiting to get a Dr appointment which she agreed to late yesterday. Fever, abdominal pain, and nausea. On the wrong side for appendicitis or gall stones but only a fool totally trusts Dr. Google. She has…

Welcoming the rain back and asking it to stay for a visit

Good Morning Lee, I am sure Tess is smiling down on Babe & Lucy. Heather is still under the weather, a stomach virus possibly, and will be home on the couch today. I will keep her company but I will sit in a wooden upright chair. 2 days of sitting most of the day in an easy-chair, even with firm Yoga bolsters, has made a…

Good Morning I am glad to here Rita is doing better. Heather was feeling poorly after our outing to collect acorn caps for a preschool project. She had a fever but tested negative. We have to check it all again today to see if she can go into school tomorrow per protocols. We are thinking positively, but staying put. My…

Good Morning For no apparent reason, I awoke at 4 am. We had a date night and got in late so who knows? We saw "See How They Run" at the Cinema Alehouse. The movie was quite entertaining and garnered some applause. We walked about Livermore in search of a coffee house. The one we found transforms in the evening to an…

Good Morning I am praying for a quick turnaround for Rita and for your protection from the virus. Steve, you and Connie have had quite a week. I hope you two can go on one of your outings to rest and relax. My back limited me yesterday, but I managed to find where I had put some papers I put aside early in decluttering…

Good Morning Dave, I am glad to hear Rita is showing signs of improvement despite the test results. When Heather had it her symptoms had cleared before she got a clean test result. Up early. The back is pretty stiff and sore but I got a short walk in with Heather and sat against an icepack during Morning Prayer. Just…

Good Morning 4 days ago it was quite warm to walk at 7 am. Today it was a heavy long sleeve tee shirt morning at 59 degrees. A huge marine layer of low clouds had climbed over the ridgeline and the rising sun lit the top of them gloriously. It has been a while since we have seen the marine layer come over the hills. It…

Good Morning I am glad that the leak was detected, and the cost seems well worth it. At least you will know all is well. Dave, I am sorry about the Covid. People have let there guards down now and moved on. At least the vaccines can help it be less scary of an issue. We are not replacing the car since Heather will retire…

Good Morning Congratulations to Lucy & Babe on their trials! I am glad to hear some folks are recovering and getting back to 'normal'. We enjoyed our day walking by the North Bay and around Martinez. Had a great lunch and headed home. Managed to get out for a morning walk with Heather today as well. We are still delighting…

Good Morning Heat wave is over. We sat outside in the afternoon enjoying some wine & cheese and just talked. During an evening stroll we felt some almost rain, likely moisture from the rare Mexican hurricane that cut in at the border. Off today to the North Bay to walk by the Bay and explore Martinez a bit.

Good Morning I am glad you are doing better, Steve. After our Alaska Cruise, our feeling is we would love to just roam around and drink in the beauty. The state is just so deceptively huge it would be challenging to see much except one area. 20+ degree drop today to get us to 85. There may be dancing in the street. An…

Good Morning I am glad you are on the mend Steve. Good luck at the eye doc, Sam. I always here cash register sounds when I think of eye docs. Today is supposed to be the last day of the heat with a cheerful 102 and then we will drop down into the 80s for a long stretch. Glad it is ending. A couple of errands to run and…

Good Morning Prayers for you and both families on Stephanie's day Steve, and for your complete healing. The nasty heat continues. The forecast is 110 today, but significant cooling is supposed to happen on Saturday. I ran a couple of errands yesterday. Between the heat and my lack of a/c in my car, I found that the…

Good Morning I almost forgot to check-in. Cooling off today to a delightful 105 today. A few more days to go until it drops into the 90s and 80s. We are still keeping up with our early walks, though the lack of anything approaching a breeze gets you heated up pretty quickly. Thankfully my knee is responding to the Voltaren…

Good Morning I am praying for the Covid Mike and especially for the little one. In your mercy Lord, hear our prayer. Fun times. We hit 113 yesterday and are cooling to 111 today with luck. We decided to get out of the house yesterday and headed to the Pub Cinema to see "Gigi & Nate" which was very enjoyable. Walking from…

Good Morning "Relief from the heat".....good one. We continue in triple digits with today climbing over 110. When did we move to Phoenix? "Relief" isn't due till next weekend. Heather and I are planning to go for a walk at 7:30 before it gets too warm. We are staying put. We have been doing movie nights this weekend. Last…

Good Morning Mike, I hope the knee responds to some rest and ice etc. Perhaps the DIY stuff could wait a bit? I slept downstairs on the couch so I could not use the CPAP and avoid the risk of me snoring Heather awake. My sinuses are feeling much better. I may need to put the humidifier & heated hose back on the CPAP…

Good Morning Mike, we had that happen once. I thought the leak was inside the car. He put it up on the lift, cleaned out the drain tube and the water came flooding out. Took a while for the carpet to dry. Our last cool day today as we hover around 95 again and then climb 10+ degrees higher again for 5 days or so. Took my…

Good Morning Smooth seas Dave! We get two cooler days in the mid 90s before returning to a more serious approach to triple digits. Heather seems to have gotten a bit dehydrated at school yesterday and had to be sent home under the current protocols. Covid was negative and she is feeling better and getting back to it. The…

Good Morning It sounds like you had a relaxing evening after work Steve and another this evening, but it is done and over with until Connie finds the next thing. Safe travels Dave! Another stretch of triple digit heat is starting up today as our multiyear drought continues. I will head out now and soak everything in the…

Good Morning I hate cruising but did really enjoy our Alaska Cruise. Thankfully the ships are smaller and you never run out of jaw dropping beauty. It has been wonderfully cool these mornings when we head out to walk. But this weekend it will be well into triple digits. Scottish Games will be in town and it always…

Good Morning Steve, you'll never win, just go with the flow. When we packed for our cruise 3 years ago, I also had to go shopping for some clothes. But what I mostly remember is packing for cool weather and running into a heatwave. So I would check the weather forecasts. We only bundled up for the cruise around Glacier…

Good Morning Heather's work schedule shifts today so she goes in later. We are getting out for a walk in the cool morning weather so I can be back for Morning Prayer at 8. I had to get up extra early for a shower so I could put on a 14-day heart monitor which was a thrill. Another exciting day of cleaning up around the…
