Afternoon all,

Busy weekend here.  My son and the grandchildren just left.  The house is so quiet.  I'm taking a break from the chaos before doing some cleanup.

Morning all,

Sunny and upper 70s here today.  A walk is on tap for later this morning.  Still working on the stairs on the FSM kit.

Morning all,

Supposed to rain here most of the day.  Unless I get out for a walk early that's off the table.  Maybe I'll be stuck inside all day.  Maybe I'll get to working on the FSM kit.

Morning all,

Gonna be a scorcher here today for early June as we're headed to 90 degrees.  Will take my walk later this morning before it gets too hot.  I will probably not go 4.25 miles like yesterday as I'm a bit sore today.  My stamina is improved as well, which is good as it's only five more days off before I have to go back to work.   :(

Morning all,

Wow, June already.  Gonna be a warm one here, headed to 83 degrees.  Heading out for my walk while it's not too hot.

Morning all.

We'll break 80 degrees here later.  I need to take the car in for it's 30K mile service later today.  Will probably walk at least back to there after it's done to get my excercise in for the day.  My wife has an appointment with the back doctor today, I may need to take her as she's had some vertigo issues the last couple of days.  Her back is much better after getting her knees done, something I believe both the back doctor and I told her that the knees could be the cause of the back issues.   Working on the stairway for the FSM kit as well.

Morning all.

I'm up and ready to go as I have a online meeting this morning.  Actually I have two "required" meetings at the same time.  Most of these are quite useless, we'll see how this one goes.  I'm off on DB for another week, but I'll have to watch these sometime, so we'll do one now and watch a recording of the other one later.  And, no, I don't get paid for this.  

Not doing much on the kit, as I've finally gotten MS Flight Simulator 2024 to  work, so I'm doing some piloting.  My landings still need some work.  

Sunny and lower 70s today, maybe another walk when it warms up.

Morning all.

Cloudy here with a high in the low 60s.  At least the rain has stopped.  I may mow later, but it may be too wet.  Did manage to walk over a mile yesterday, a little sore in the legs today.  Haven't done much on the build over two days, hopefully that changes today.

Dave, western Iowa is very flat.  Here in eastern Iowa we have some hills.  Looking at a topographical map, on my usual longer walks there's about a 50 foot change from my house to the lowest part of the park.  Not like Rick's treks out west where he gains thousands of feet in a few miles, which I don't think I could partake in, but not totally flat, either.

Doctor released my walking restriction, though I'm still not supposed to walk over uneven ground for a couple more weeks.  Later in the day I did a little over a half mile walk and was kinda pooped afterward.  Amazing how quickly you can lose your stamina if you're just sitting for two weeks.  A trip to Costco later and we'll try for a mile walk later today.

Morning all.

Rained all night and looks like it will continue on and off all day with a high in the 60s.    At least I won't have to mow.  

Appointment with ortho later, hopefully he'll lift my restriction of walking less than a block, I need to start walking to build up endurance as the Oshkosh Air Show is two months away.  Last year, I think our first day was about 7 to 8 miles and standing for 8 plus hours.

Raining and 50 degrees here, headed to 67 later.   No plans for today, not a "manic Monday".

Sunny and 75 here later today.  I need to do a little weathering on the roofs of the kit and update the build thread.  

Let's have a great week, people!

Cloudy and cooler here today with a high of 65 degrees.  

Need a touch of weathering on the roof of the FSM kit, on the to do list today.  Feel like running a train on the pike as well.

Morning all.

It's been six months today from my back surgery.  Doesn't seem that long ago.  I can finally take ibuprofen again.  Thankfully, I don't need it. 

Another sunny 80 degree day here. 

No plans but will work on the FSM kit a bit, I hope.

Sunny and headed to 86 degrees today.  

This is the first week since January where neither the wife nor myself have a surgery, doctor's appointment nor physical therapy.  Somehow I think we'll manage.

Happy Mother's Day!  

Going to be another sunny and 80 degree day here.  I will mow later this morning, watch the Red Sox game this afternoon and dinner with the wife this evening.

Sunny and headed to 83 degrees today.  Between the doctor visit and icing my knee for 3 plus hours yesterday, didn't really get much done.  Maybe I'll accomplish something today.

Morning all,

Yesterday's surgery went well. Knee really isn't painful today, but I'm not going to overdo it.  Icing it now.  Looks like a day of YouTube videos, computer games and maybe some kit work.
