Sunday 08- another cold day.

I did my stretches.

I mostly did some reading in my astronomy book.

I forgotten what I did the rest of the day, but I can assure you it must have been exciting.....

Monday 09- very cold.

I did my stretches.

I went shopping to get some supplies, filled up three propane 5 gallon tanks and bought a few gifts.

I went over to Kelly’s. She has been very sick and I shared my baked chicken, potato salad, and coleslaw with her.

Tuesday 10- still cold and dark clouds.

I woke up with a slight sore throat but it went away after a few hours.

I did my stretches.

Just stayed inside and stayed warm

Wednesday 11- not as cold, but a few clouds. At 11pm it snowed for a few minutes.

I did my stretches, lifted weights, yoga, ran up and down the hill carrying 5lbs in each hand, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for five minutes.

Thursday 12- bad weather.

I was woken up with a flash bang as a bolt of lightning lit up my bedroom through thick dark curtains!!!

A snow storm came through our area and lightning hit on or near my house blowing out my DC to AC inverter on my solar! Last night when it was snowing a little bit I went and checked the U.S. National Weather Service and their website said nothing about rain/hail/snow/lightning/thunder; now there is continuous rain falling today!

It the rain to let up some around 1pm. From somewhere around 8am to 12:30 pm it snowed short spell and then rained for the rest of the time; didn't see that coming at all. I took apart the 1200 watt inverter and it is fried. I am running on a 300 watt but that won't power the fridge. I ordered a new inverter and it should be here on Monday. I'll run my Honda Generator for a few hours to keep things cold in the fridge.

Kelly’s internet was down and I went to her house and fixed it.

Friday 13- actually it was sunny and into the 60s!

I did my stretches, lifted weights, yoga, ran a mile and a half with 1.5lbs around each wrists, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for two minutes.

I found out the new inverter I ordered was shipped UPS and then they dropped it off at the post office instead of dropping it off at my house. Now I'll have to drive about 35 miles round trip to and from the post office... I am not very happy with UPS.

I ran the Honda Generator for about four hours to keep the food cold in my fridge.

I did my stretches, lifted 10lb dumbbells and went for my evening walk with my backpack.

I updated the Copper Mountain Mesa Website and sent out the Newsletter.

I did my stretches, lifted 20lb dumbbells, and went for a night run.

I read some of my astronomy book trying to get caught up by the end of the year.

I practiced my guitar.

Saturday 14- clear and not very cold or I am getting used to it

I did my stretches.

I went to visit Jimmy and Clorice at Stoney’s, they are up for the weekend, and had a nice visit with them; Roger and Johnny were also there. We sat around the kitchen table and yammered on and on for a quite a long spell. I then went to my mailbox on Lear Ave to pick up my USPS delivery notice for the inverter that UPS was supposed to drop off at my house.

***** Stuff I Wrote this Week******

Gentle on the mind rests sunny days and springs flowers, be gone with this foul weather lest be frozen to the marrow of our deepest sorrows and touched by the icy fingers of death ending our days in the grayish misty gloom of winter's wrath.

Cameras are our wayback machine. I see old pics of friends and get a tingly feeling deep inside, ya know a kind of reminiscing of something lost, but also the happiness of living it. The good times with the women I have loved and still love, and despite their older age are still beautiful to me. Of crazy friends who have lived and partied hard and are now gone to earth (mostly because of their craziness).

I can look at old pics, any old photo taken recently or deep in the past and write a story of the people and what they were doing. Imagination is a powerful tool.

Please tell me a story of what you see in this picture. Put yourself inside the crowd and write something:
