What's Goin' On

Here's a bit of a run-down of the current events. 

Sunday, Surly and the clan came down and brought me a holster he had made for my pistol.

And it's a beaut! Cowhide on the outside and pigskin on the inside. Fits the pistol like a glove. He's really getting good with his leatherwork.

Monday, I took the Missus to the foot doctor since she was still in a lot of pain from her recent fall. Seems the emergency room visit didn't detect the broken bone in the foot, so now she's got one of those Frankenstein boots and a few pain killers. 

Tuesday, I went to the doctor for a checkup. Everything is looking good - blood pressure, A1c and whatever he heard while listening to my heart and lungs. Pretty happy with the results - I'm getting back on the program like I was on years ago. If I had stayed with it probably wouldn't have had the plugged up stent. 

Also, the medical alert device showed up for the Missus. She ordered it from Consumer Cellular, which is our phone carrier. I'm going to feel a lot better knowing the device has a fall alert function and the button to push for 24/7/365 help if needed. When you set the thing up you can put in names and numbers of people you want notified besides them making the call to emergency medical services. 

Wednesday, policed the dog park, mowed some grass, and got the new air cleaner in the mail.

It got here rather quickly considering it came from China. It fits the carb nicely, came with a clamp and the angle is perfect. One step closer to being finished.

Today, I'm going to a meeting with the financial guy in the morning. He puts on seminars about four times during the summer months. They're informative but he always seems to be a little more upbeat than what I am as far as the market goes. The numbers are continuing to go up, but I'm at the age if there's a big market correction, I might not be around long enough to recover. I'm not all that concerned since most of my gains are all on paper and as long as I pay my property tax I won't have to be living in a cardboard box under the bridge.

I'll be taking the dog to the vet in the afternoon. Between the two of them, that'll pretty much shoot the day in the ass.

Tomorrow, I'm going to be helping set up the radio equipment for the ham radio Field Day. I was planning on taking my teardrop trailer and camping Saturday night, but I need to stay home and help the Missus out. 

So, things rather slow on the projects for the next few weeks and the weatherman is forecasting temps in the nineties for next week. That in itself will slow me down but I'll keep pickin' away at things indoors and out. Never a shortage of things to do.
