July 29-31 2012

Sunday 29- temps around 105 or so…

I went for a short walk.

I took Kelly to pick up her prescription at Rite Aid and we ate lunch at Burger King. I noticed that my brakes were going low towards the floorboard, so I picked up a bottle of brake fluid; which I found was the wrong kind once I got home. So I had to make another trip into Twentynine and went to AutoZone this time, got the DOT4 brake fluid, filled up the brake reservoir, and drove home with fine working brakes.

I’ve been getting some edited chapters of my book from Carolyn, who has been kind enough to go through and read them. I take what she sends back and make the changes. So far she has done four chapters. I am up past chapter 11 and want to keep ahead of Carolyn so she gets only what I have already edited. While I was editing I’d take a break on FaceBook to see what everyone was up to.

Monday 30- temps into the upper 90s, with light cloud cover building to thick later in the evening.

I did stretches and went for a short walk.

Simi came by, he was searching for some electrical connections I happened to have. Then we sat for a spell yammering about hiking the mountains in the Sierras. 

I went for my evening walk, but a short one.

Tuesday 31- cloudy with rain storms.

I picked Kelly up at noon and drove her down to Palm Springs to get her operation done on her back. We got there at 1:30 for a 2pm appointment and waited till around 4:30 when they finally took her in. While we were waiting, she left the waiting room to watch the rain. When she didn’t come back for a short spell I went outside to investigate. I found her down stairs standing in the heavy rain that was pouring down outside. We ate dinner at this fantastic Deli. The waitress was great and so was the corned beef sandwich with all the fixin’ we ordered. Then for dessert we had this very rich piece of chocolate cake that was layered with cheese cake and chocolate mousse. I got home at around 10:30pm.

Goodbye to July, you been a wonderful month :)
