Same Ol' Buzzard
Good Morning All. Clear and 74°, reached 99° yesterday. Expecting the same today and at least every day until September. Haven't officially reached 100° yet.
I have a follow-up appointment with the cataract doctor this morning at 0930. Probably won't actually see him, but will see one of his therapeutic optometrists instead. There's a young Muslim lady who is really good and I like her because she speaks very clearly, an advantage with my hearing aids. After I get home, I plan to finish mowing the east side which I skipped yesterday. I have reduced my outdoor "work periods" from 45 minutes to 30 minutes between breaks due to the heat. I would go further if we had wind in the morning, but that doesn't usually kick in until afternoon.
Out in the train shed yesterday, it was a mixed bag of projects. I did paint two more colors on the figures, but set them aside for a structure build that I have been waiting for the mood to hit. You may remember this cardstock structure that the leaky roof produced?
There is no way to repair this, and I haven't been able to find the downloaded file, (if I did download it to begin with). So I grabbed a Walther's kit of metal yard sheds and selected one of them.
I selected one of the large ones pictured in the lower left. The kit has 2@ of 3 different sheds.
I assembled the walls and then painted it light blue, added the assembled windows and doors and painted the roof white.
It actually exactly fit the existing footprint!
Simple easy project completed. It is in the area behind the Red River Valley grain elevator. Here is an old picture.
Forgot to take a newer long shot.
Ken - Your experiences with dentists is quite different from what I have experienced here. My current dentist is the son of the one that I used 40 years ago. I didn't know that when I first started seeing him.
Joe - I too have seen what happens when folks start to depend on wheelchairs when they don't really need them to begin with. I'll take minor pain rather than limit my movements. That's not to say that they are not a necessity in some cases.
Grizzled - There seems to be more than enough folks paying AARP to lobby for all of us!
Chad - I think that what is called Longhorn Cheddar is actually a Colby type. Cheeses made from Longhorn milk tend to be a crumbly type like Red Leicester.
Everybody have a great Monday. Stay cool and hydrated.
