Friday 05

Friday 05- I did my stretches.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 41 and 56 degrees, calm winds, humidity around 61 percent, partly cloudy skies with a little rain.
According to the National Weather Service: “Saturday: A chance of showers, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 10am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 56. South southeast wind between 6 and 14 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Saturday Night: A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 42. Southwest wind between 11 and 20 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%."
” I am sorry that I haven’t been keeping my journal up to date lately but I am in a state of intense sorrow: these last few weeks since the passing of my friends Lee Hines in December, my best friend Bob Stonebraker (Stoney) on Tuesday 26 of January, and just as we returned home from Stoney’s funeral we learned of a death of another area friend Bob Seeley who had died on Thursday at 2:30pm as we laid Stoney to rest at Rose Hills Cemetery.
I like to write about happy things, about the things I like to do, trying new ideas to get ahead in life, and also I try to write my journal in a positive outlook of life. And I find this very hard to do at this time. So please bear with me just a little longer until I can get through this sorrow and get back to what I like to write about!

Saturday 06

Saturday 06- I got dressed, jumped in the Gross Polluter and headed down to the community’s breakfast that we have on the first Saturday of the month. In the mood I am in I felt I needed to be around friends. Let me tell you that the food was just fantastic. I had pancakes with two eggs, bacon, home fried potatoes, and a glass of tomato juice. I had also ordered biscuits and gravy but apparently they had run out of them but I was mighty filled up as it was. We had sixty-one folks show up and Kath and I went looking through the past several years of logs and we found that this was the most folks we ever had for breakfast since we’ve been keeping this log from 2007! I think the crew did a mighty fine job of preparing such a fine breakfast!
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 39 and 56 degrees, calm winds, humidity around 67 percent, rain.
According to the National Weather Service: “Sunday: A 20 percent chance of showers after 10am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 56. Northwest wind between 15 and 17 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph. Sunday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 38. West northwest wind between 3 and 9 mph.”
In my quest to be among friends I visited Frank and Mary for a long spell watching the movie “Ransom” (1996) starring Mel Gibson and Gary Sinise; a very good flick! I told Mary that I’ve been watching movies to keep my mind off of recent events and she gave me a bunch of DVDs to take home with me. I left before dark because my lights are still broken on the Polluter.
I called Family and Friends for the next couple of hours and then watched “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” (2003) starring Sean Connery; it wasn’t all that good but it kept me entertained.
I’ve been slacking off on my exercises but I promise I’ll get back into them very soon. I wrote my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
