re: Joining the pieces

Thanks, Duck! Yeah, the cane would work well if one had to defend oneself from a bunch of young ruffians.

Typical day (without errands) is wake up, read the morning news, cook breakfast, shower, walk around our “block”, then an hour or two in the shop. If there’s time before lunch, I’ll get horizontal and give my back a rest. Cook and eat lunch, or go out to one of our local joints. Nap (1 hour). Afternoon is online time like this, then start cooking dinner. Eat dinner, walk around the block again, maybe watch a TV show, or maybe more shop time, then bed with about an hour of reading. I’m sleeping about 12 hours a day, so my body’s still busy healing, I figure.

Days with errands, we’ll end up spending 3-4 hours in town doing various things. Tomorrow my sweetie has an eye doctor appointment, so I’ll drive us in, then go pick up my prescriptions while she’s talking to the eye doc about her cataracts, then we’ll have lunch at a Chinese restaurant we like, pick up two pair of jeans I had hemmed up (odd size legs in a world where only even inseams exist) and drop off two more, then home. 

I’m not back to helping in the yard yet (mostly my duty is digging out chamisa and winter fat plants, plus hauling stuff). That’ll probably be Thanksgiving or so. I’m also getting one of my motorcycles (the BMW K1600 GTL) ready for sale, and slowly working on getting my computer lab up and running so I can access it from anywhere in the world, and moving all of our “cloud stuff” from iCloud to our own servers, since I no longer trust Apple to do the right thing.

Oh, I’m also finally reading Neal Stephenson’s REAMDE, which is a decent book, but thick enough that it sat on my shelf for over a decade before I had enough time to set aside for reading it.
