Sunday 10- I did my stretches; I decided to just rest today and let my body catch up with my mind.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 40 and 66 degrees, slight breeze, humidity around 35 percent, sunny skies all day!
According to the National Weather Service: “Monday: Sunny, with a high near 66. West northwest wind around 6 mph becoming calm. Monday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 38. Light west wind.”
I was talking to my friend Kula on the phone when two ladies came to my gate telling me that they live just down the street and that their neighbor hasn’t been seen in a few days, his dogs had escaped from his yard, and there was a funny smell coming from his house. They introduced themselves as Pricilla and Crystal. I told them that I didn’t know the guy and that he mostly kept to himself; I had once gone over to say howdy but he didn’t seem interested. I told the ladies that the best thing to do was to call and ask the police for a wellness check and that they’d come out and have a look-see. I drove over a little later and saw that Ginger was home and stopped by to ask her if she knew where the “missing” guy was. She said she hasn’t seen him for a few days. The police arrived an hour later and I moseyed on over to see what they had found. The two officers were treating it like a CSI crime scene wearing plastic gloves and wondering around the house and yard. I stood with Pricilla and Crystal and we speculated on what may have happened to the guy and we each came up with some chilling theories. Well finally after a spell the officers did get a hold of the “missing” guy on the phone and all our theories went down the drain. At least the guy is okay! I only hope that this guy appreciates the fact that there are folks out here that were concerned for his welfare.
Ron Dehart came by for a visit and to have me convert large pictures into smaller sizes so that he won’t spend all day uploading them onto EBay. He brought over some beans he had cooked up which I ate for dinner and they were mighty good!
I practiced my guitar. I didn't read aloud from the textbooks today because I wanted to give my voice a rest.
I went over to Stoney’s to take a nice hot shower and to yap at him.
Throughout the day I was downloading critical updates to the Lenovo Netbook; on dialup this takes a mighty longtime.
I watched “Nature: Hummingbirds: Magic in the Air” and it was a very captivating show! There was so much I didn’t know about hummingbirds and I’m glad I watched it.
I did my stretches; practiced my guitar; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.

Monday 11- I did my stretches and ran two miles; it felt good!
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 38 and 64 degrees, slight breeze, humidity around 36 percent, mostly sunny skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Tuesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 66. West wind at 8 mph becoming east. Tuesday Night: A 10 percent chance of rain after 4am. Partly cloudy, with a low around 42. West southwest wind between 11 and 13 mph.”
I heard that we may have some bad weather coming out our way on Wednesday and needed wood for the woodstove. So I fired up the Honda generator, got out the electric saw and cut up a wheelbarrow full of firewood from a pile of old wood I have in the backyard.
I did a few things needing done around the house and then went on my evening walk re-listening to the Astronomy Cast lecture: Ep. 152: Binary Stars. When I got back I practiced my guitar.
I went over to Stoney’s to see how he’s doing and also to collect my bag of groceries from the USDA Food Distribution that was held this morning.
I read aloud from the textbooks: “Astronomy Today and “The Cell: a Molecular Approach”.
6:20pm rolled around and it was time for me to be off to the Copper Mountain Mesa Board meeting. Board members Katherine Quinn, Steve and Mary Helen Tuttle, Annelies Kuiper, Rob Reese, and Ray Foyil discussed matters that keep our Community Center running while the audience consisting of Marie Morrison, Bill Treas and his wife Elizabeth, Chris Jonas, and I listened on. It was a good meeting and many items were resolved.
It was cold and I fired up the woodstove and read some more from the textbooks. For some reason I couldn’t get my feet warm, so I took the kettle from on top of the stove and poured hot water into a bucket and soaked my feet for a spell; it felt mighty good!
I did my stretches and lifted weights; practiced my guitar; wrote my column for the Newspaper and sent it in; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
