Sunday 13- temps into the low 80s nights into the low 50s.

I did my stretches.

Linda H. came by in the afternoon to go on a hike with me. We drove to a few canyons and ended up back at my home for a nice walk.

I just finished editing Book two of "Rainbow at the End of Tomorrow: The Water’s Edge" It kinda took a long while.... YAY for me!!! Now I need to have Bonnie read it and make a cover for it, then it goes on Amazon.

Monday 14- temps in the high 70s lows in the low 50s

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 five minutes.

I went to do my laundry over at Stoney’s and yapped with Roger Smith about the community cleanup next Saturday and the Neighborhood Watch meeting tonight. I told him as I told others in an email that I had too many things going on in my life at this moment right now and won’t be able to get involved in any activities. I not feeling well either and will take it easy for a spell and only do some light exercise and as little contact with other folk’s problems as I can.

I found this big bruise on my right side over the weekend which now turned purple! I think it might have been getting Kelly’s five gallon water bottle out of the back of the Cougar or putting it in, just can’t remember which.

Tuesday 15- another beautiful day!

I did my stretches.

Joel called asking for help with his computer. I checked it out and walked him  through a problem over the phone as best I could. I also told him I am taking a break and needed the time for myself and would fix another problem of his later on.

I noticed a scraping rubbing kinda noise when I drive slow in the Cougar, so I jacked up and spun all four tires one at a time to see if that was the problem. They all seemed to be okay to me. I’ll have to have someone drive the Cougar past me so I can have a better listen.

Wednesday 16- wonderful day. Theses are the kind of days we live out here for!

I did my stretches.

Went to Sherry’s helped her hang her TV with the new hanger thingy she bought last week. We went to Carrows restaurant and had the prime rib special for lunch.

I went to Staters to get supplies I need there that they don’t sell at Vons; Kelly doesn’t like going to Staters so when I’m alone I stock up. I then went to Walmart got car oil changed and headlights refurbished. I saw a few of my CERT colleagues marking off the area for this Saturdays Community Disaster Preparedness Day. I told them I won’t be there at 9am to help them setup but I’ll be there around noon and will stay around to help them tear it down and put stuff away.

I got home and watched a few episodes of season 5 of “Fringe”.

Thursday 17- Nice day!

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.

I upgraded the crappy Windows 8.0 to 8.1 and I hope it works better.

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

I got caught up with my astronomy reading.

Friday 18- Nice day!

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.

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

I cleaned up around the house some.

Jimmy Stonebraker called at 5pm that his daughter Angela had a baby boy at 4:31am this morning; Jimmy is really happy :)

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

I’m going outside as the Hunter’s Moon rises to see a partial Lunar Eclipse. Venus is really bright in the southwestern skies. I didn’t see much of the eclipse but it was still nice to get outside.

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

Saturday 19- seems a little hotter today.

I got up and drank some coffee and headed down to WalMart for the CERT Community Disaster Preparedness Day Event. I got there at around about noon and helped out as best I could and stuck around to help take down the booths and barricades that had been put up earlier. It was all over by 2pm but I didn’t get out of there until around 4pm.

After all the work was done I went to WalMart and as I waked in the front door there was a hair cutting place for $12 that I took advantage of; I look pretty slick now! I bought a whole broiled chicken, some coleslaw, potato salad, and some Twinkies and took them over to Kelly’s house to surprise her with dinner; besides I was mighty hungry. When she opened the door I stuck a Twinkie in her mouth. We watched Merlin for a few hours and then the X-files. Had lots of fun at Kelly’s and there were no Twinkies left!

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

that-day-will-come-along-poem

You were such a happy spirit,

free to roam the skies,

now but a shell of loneliness

upon fallen leaves you cry...

another day will come along

and fill your heart with cheer

and on that day the world will smile and say

welcome back my dear

The universe may be very big but it's not as big as the potential you hold within.

I used to sit on the beach and watch the boats out at sea. Especially during sunsets my mind would drift away to faraway places wherever a stiff breeze would take my imagination. This kinda made me wonder who and where the people of these boats were sailing off to. Then I bought my own sailboat and wondered if anyone sitting on the beach was thinking the same of me as I sailed by into the setting sun.

We all have movies that we love but can only watch once because they bring back so many hurtful memories from our past; my movie is Forrest Gump.

What is yours?

life is just a musing thought, a whim of minds wandering in the wild...
