Sunday 27- 102 degrees.

I did my stretches and took Cassie for a short walk because the ground was still muddy from yesterdays storm.

Lots of humidity and decided to stay inside.

I took Cassie for her night and evening walks.

Monday 28- 107 degrees with clear skies.

Kelly’s cat Graybush butt dialed my emergency phone number (kinda like the Batline for certain friends) I answered it and there was short breathing on the other end. I thought the worst and got Cassie in the car and drove over and banged on Kelly’s door surprising her. She had left her phone out and the cat called me while she was cleaning house.

I did my stretches, lifted weights, yoga, took Cassie for a short walk because the ground was still muddy, core trainer,  punched the heavybag for about two minutes and swam wearing a stationary belt for about 35 minutes.

The storm cell passed by over an hour ago with just a little rain here. I was in the pool at the time when all of a sudden the clouds built up just south of me and there was thunder and lightning. I decided being in a swimming pool wasn't such a good idea at the time. I unplugged everything; did the same Saturday before I left for potluck when the big storm cell came through. I lost two inverters last year because of storms and lightning and I wasn't going to lose another.

I took Cassie for her evening and night walks.

I practised playing my guitar.

Tuesday 29- 105 degrees and clear.

I did my stretches.

UPS arrived with my new ASUS MeMO Pad 8 ME181C-A1-WH 8-Inch Tablet with a 1.33 GHz Intel Atom Quad-Core Processor. It runs Android 4.4.2 and is very quick. I didn’t like the 7 inch form factors of the older ones but found the 8 inch to be just perfect for me.

My good friend Doug Dorney called to tell me that his laptop arrived and I helped him logon to it which took about 20 minutes. All he need to do now is call and setup an appointment for his wireless internet to be hooked up.

Wednesday 30-  106 degrees.

I did my stretches and took Cassie for a walk and swam wearing a stationary belt for about 35 minutes.

I fired up the Harley and noticed a black snake with white bands slither into the woodwork. I turned off the bike and put Cassie into the house so she and the bike wouldn’t disturb it. By the time I got my camera it was well hidden but I did get a pic of part of it; A California Kingsnake- nonpoisonous. I wouldn’t mind for him to stick around for a spell.

I’ve been kinda down lately because of developments of late and just kicked back today. I might kick back tomorrow too.

Thursday 31- 105 degrees.

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

I worked on Cougar front right fender removing screws and nut no longer holding it together. I will have to find a way to connect it altogether correctly.

I took Cassie for her evening walk and played in the yard for a long spell. I was just too worn out for a night walk and I think Cassie was too.

Friday 01- 107 degrees and overcast.

Cassie woke me up early around 6am and I had something on my mind and couldn’t go back to sleep. So I spent the next three or four hours writing an email to someone I really didn’t want to write explaining the obvious to them. I hope I can get through to them how important this is to me and others that they comply with the Will I am responsible for executing.

I did my stretches and took Cassie for a walk..

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

I finished doing the State income tax for 2011 because of a IRA rollover mistake Chase Bank did and corrected on my Fed tax and owed the the state nothing and will send it in next time I’m at the post office.

I took Cassie for her evening and night walks.

Saturday 02- 99 degrees with rain thunder lightning chaos; dang just like last Saturday!

I did my stretches and mostly stayed inside.

Around midnight it had stopped raining. Cassie and I had enough of being inside and went for a night walk and on our way back it rained pretty good on us.

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

Always try harder to better yourself in all things pleasant and helpful to others.

'tis a pity and sorrowful state of affairs when a trusted confidant rubs your face in the mud while offering platitudes of kindness along with their well worn lies and expects you and everyone else to accept them gracefully...
