    All kinds of stuff getting done here. Too much to talk about. Wife and her brother have been caring for her Mom at her house now. So we don’t see much of her. Hospice is now involved. She has been at the point of refusing to eat for many, many days now. Ugh. Probably just a day or two before she goes to see her husband Bruce.

    We took the kids full remote a few weeks ago because of how many cases there are around here now. More worried about my wife getting it than the kids. Probably won’t bother them much but they can bring it home to us. Hopefully we can avoid that, but the two 16 y.o.s are working jobs too, so there is that.

    Inside stuff and running errands this morning. Time to get some outside stuff done this afternoon. Hopefully.

    Got the finish coat on closet organizer boxes last night and first thing this AM. Those are done.

    The last thing I have to do on the bathroom is install a hair tool holder thingy in the drawer....it won't be here until later in the week and should take all of five minutes. Going to take a couple weeks off and start back up on projects after Christmas.

    Next up - bedroom furniture....corner desk, headboard/cabinet combo, hooks and shelf. These will be made out of walnut...same stuff I made the fake fireplace out of.

    Pilots usually run out of altitude and ideas about the same time...

    I have to layout a different walk path, the current one is boring and has too many 180 turns I can't get up a good head of steam.

    Are you on pavement or sidewalks, or more like to the end of the gravel driveway and back again several laps?

    More like a formula 0 bike and the left hand turn (leading with left side) slows me way down.

    My brother is recovering from knee replacement I think that he realizes the time it takes and is glad he can sleep in his own bed again.

    I have two walking aids with ice tips and I tried to stay away from them for over 4 winters.

    True, but a check of Dr. Don's records will yield a very large report on me that says I'm disgusting normal. Needed to be shrunk for a management position. Dr. Don did the shrinkage for the company.
