March 30- April 05 2014

 Sunday 30- dang windy! Dust in the air!

I did my stretches, lifted weights, yoga, took Cassie for a mile and a half run, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for two minutes.

I was told that water in ponds draws snakes, so I emptied both ponds until I come up with a better idea. My heart is still beating fast after yesterday when Cassie encountered the Green Mojave snake. At least all she did was bark at the snake alerting me to it. She peed in the house a couple of times since the incident, something she hasn’t done in a while, and has been staying away from the bushes on our walks, which is a good thing. The peeing in the house not so good but I just clean it up and don’t bother her about it; she stopped doing that after a couple of days.

I watched:

Marvel's The Avengers 2012

Raising Hope S1 E5 – Happy Halloween

Monday 31- not as windy as yesterday.

I did my stretches, lifted weights, yoga, took Cassie for a mile and a half run, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for two minutes.

I went to post office to get keyboard for broken one on old Toshiba laptop and a Palm Zire 71 that I picked up for $20. Spent the rest of the day replacing keyboard and messing around with Zire.

Took Cassie for a walk.

I watched the movie “Tora! Tora! Tora!” (1970) American-Japanese war film about the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Tuesday 01- still a stiff breeze blowing with clouds and colder.

I did my stretches, lifted weights, yoga, took Cassie for a mile walk, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for three minutes.

Worked on editing the book.

Took Cassie for our evening walk where she saw her first Jackrabbit and it took all my strength to hold her back from chasing it.

I watched:

Thursday 03- still windy!

I did my stretches, lifted weights, yoga, took Cassie for a mile walk, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for three minutes.

I went to Home Depot and bought me a new swamp cooler to keep the house cooler for Cassie. I may be used to the heat, but I don’t think she’ll be at first. They asked me at the checkout if I needed any help getting it into my car. I kinda felt like saying, “I exercise everyday and lift weights.” Glad I didn’t mention that; it took me over half an hour to get the dang thing into my small car. It would have slid in easily if it wasn’t just one darn inch shorter on the sides. I made it home with the hatch tied down and the swamp cooler kinda stuck in there. It took me using using 2x4x6 pieces of lumber as levers to get it out of the back; it was wedged in there pretty good after the ride down our bumpy roads out here.

I took Cassie for our evening walk and then rested the rest of the night.

Friday 04- light cold breeze.

I did my stretches, lifted weights, yoga, took Cassie for a mile and a half run, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for three minutes.

I am still struggling with the editing of the book. It’s not so much that I gots to do it but there’s other things I needs to be doing now as well. (plus I’ve been watching way too much TV, something which I never do)

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

Saturday 05- nice but windy day.

I did my stretches, lifted weights, yoga, took Cassie for a mile walk, core trainer, and punched the heavybag for three minutes.

I got a call from Doug Dorney asking me if I got the pics he sent of him and me in the army. I picked them up on Thursday when I went to Home Depot and will post a few of them on FB.

I took Cassie for our evening walk.

I am up to chapter 7 on my editing.
