Good morning. I am still in the kitchen ending my fast after visiting the Clinic this morning. Everything is pretty good and except for the recent weight gain as the vitals are in the normal range. Gained 27#’s and now weigh 207 after a difficult journey to lose weight, now to do it again. Need to again stick to a exercise scheme and beg my wife to slow down on baking. 3 months to gain 27# when it took 18 months to lose 63. Doctor laughed though she said she’ll bet 90% of her patients have have gained 20#’s or more in the Pandemic. She was extremely happy with my results. She deleted one prescription and reduced 2 others. My Endro is in India till Xmas so the GP looked at my lab results on the diabetes, A1C is at 6.3.
Trains, nothing done yesterday but the plan was today to finish off the trucks on the rolling stock for weathering. A possible LHS run as he is celebrating 17 years with 30% off everything (normal is 20%) except Athearn new stock. I have been looking at some Summitt modern buildings for years now, maybe…
The kids have an offer on their house as do their best friends and neighbors. They will be moving into our house and then Terry with a bit of input from me will decide what we do next. Our place at our age is ridiculously too big. The best friends already purchased a piece of property from us and the foundation is in for that. They also are building an earth sheltered home.
Trains, the layout will stay for the grandkids and me as it doesn’t interfere in any other room. The slot tracks will be given to 2 of the Boys and Girls clubs in Dane County. I have promised the SIL that he and I will build a bigger and better one but no more then 3 lanes this time. He wants 5 lanes but in my mind that takes away from the realness of the track, but I could narrow down the lanes except around the start finish line or the front stretch.
We have 6 apartment complexes left and had a fight with the new attorney yesterday. He didn’t think I was selling to employees the right way, way too cheap since we do the financing. Finally Terry told him yesterday in her office that if he couldn’t work with us we can find another attorney. We have been selling to employees for years now as we don’t keep buildings after 8 years. We always give them 1st chance. If he doesn’t have the contracts our way next Tuesday he will be done. Our attorney we used for 40 years retired in July. Goofy lawyers know everything.
Covid, the grandkids results are in, negative and went back to school this morning. But school now wants them tested weekly for the next 30 days. The SIL showed positive and was heading to the Clinic for a noon appointment in full PPE gear. We are so relieved about the grandkids and the SIL has no symptoms but tested positive. The daughter is negative and would like to stay that way.
I think you can tell I am pretty relieved about things today and doing catch up on my things. Thanks for reading the ramblings and enjoy your day
