Sunday 26-
nice day temps in the 90s…
I did my
stretches
I went for
a walk over to Mark and Gloria’s cabin and they were home this time.
I worked
on editing three chapters
Monday 27-
got hot again 105…
I
did my stretches, yoga, ran one and a half miles, and lifted dumbbells.
I updated
my online journal.
My books
arrived by UPS.
I went for
my evening walk with the backpack.
Tuesday
28- still hot!
I did my stretches, core
trainer, lifted weights, punched the heavy bag, but didn’t go for a run because
I had to stick around for the Honda guy to call.
Roger
Smith came by to yap for a spell; nice to have visitors once in a great while.
The Honda
guy called Aston came in a truck and trailer to pick up my little scooter.
I went for
a walk with my backpack.
I went
right to work on editing and proofing my second book. Carolyn keeps sending me
chapters she has read and edited and has been a great help.
Wednesday
29- it was cloudy all day long!
I did my
stretches, lifted dumbbells, and ran a mile and a half.
I was
working on the book when it started raining very hard. I went outside with my
camera to video it and walked right out into it; the rain was really cold and I
ran back undercover.
Thursday
30- lots of cloud cover, but very nice outside today!
I did my stretches, core
trainer, lifted weights, punched the heavy bag, and ran up the hill and back
carrying 5lbs in each hand.
I went for
my evening walk with my backpack.
I went for
a night run.
Friday 31-
a little warmer with a few clouds.
I did my
stretches, lifted dumbbells, and ran a mile and a half.
Honda
called and they are having Aston bring the scooter back to me. It was the bad
gas they put into it when I first got it. In fact they say you have to add some
stuff that keeps the gas fresh or else it’ll get clogged up again. Also if I’m
going to store it for any length of time I’m supposed to drain the float bowl.
I’m going to talk to Larry the parts guy down there to see if he has a cutoff
valve I can install between the tank and the carb.
I rode the
scooter over to Linda and Blake’s for a short visit. It seems like we have some
French folks who moved into the neighborhood. They left a business card on
Blake’s fence, but we have no idea where the address of their house is.
I updated
the Copper Mountain Mesa Website and sent out the newsletter.
I went for
my evening walk with my backpack.
I went for
a night run.
Sorry if
my journal posts have been short these last few week, months… I’ve been really
been working hard editing, proofing, and writing new stories.
Goodbye to
August; one busy and happy month!
