Today I get to see my cardiologist and schedule a Transesophageal-echocardiogram with cardioversion. Whoo Hooo! A what with a what.... ? Today I get to visit my ophthalmologist to see if the efforts to reduce/delay my glaucoma have done any good. I went to the range Sunday to check the sighting on my 2 9mm pistols and gave up after 20 or 30 shots - couldn't see the sights....couldn't keep my shots on the paper. Getting bad.

After skipping about the web reading the news for a while ( Al Jazeera to Salon to WSJ.....and more.... ), printed out a shipping label for some Johnson Spoons I've had for a long time but do not use so sold on eBay and then hustled off to Palatka to check on how much damage we had from the wildfire.
Flew the drone to get a handle on it.......it burned 50 or so acres, all but about 10-12 needing no action.......and then spent a good bit of time arranging to have the soon to be dead timber cut while it still has some value.
Ran over and checked on a timber crew finishing up a few miles away and then headed into the primary where game chips were pulled and corn set out to keep the hogs that need catching coming......
Then....back up to Fruit Cove where the.......well.....lots of sweating......and now.....a Lord Chesterfield Ale as my keeper renders stir-fry for dinner....
Never got a nap today.......hope it gets dark soon!

Weeded my pineapple patch. Took the wife to a couple of stores she likes and to a nice little place for lunch. Made some great brownie points…

Had to take my company vehicle to get the oil changed and tires rotated. Picked up the wife's new Iphone from the UPS hub, and then spent rest of the day setting it up and answering the wife's how to Iphone questions. She's had an Iphone (4s I think) many years ago and then has had several Android devices, but I gave her the opportunity to go back to Apple if she preferred as that is what her daughter and our grandson have.

Mowed the grass and pulled a bunch of crap off the fence on the side where the neighbor never cuts his grass or does anything to his jungle of a yard. Heat got to me. Tomorrow I will pick up all the limbs and vines I cut and put them out for the trash man Tuesday. My brother got most of the weed eating, but still have a little left for him to finish tomorrow.
TOO DAMN HOT!!!

Not sure how i feel about that. It's a dichotomy. You like the peace and quiet but miss the hullabaloo. Wait till you have 3 or 5 of those grandkids.

Oldest one was born in '97 (he has given us 2 great grands) Youngest (that was here today) was born in 2019 and is a 5yo ball of energy. I really believe he gets pleasure out of pushing my buttons

I mowed yesterday,and have been out since 7am cleaning things up. Weedeating and push mowing the tough spots, including our little neglected garden. Some close friends just showed up( not many can get away with that), it was a nice visit. I have barely talked to them in a couple months but, they drove out here to bring gifts for my birthday. “Palls” … gotta love it.

I brush hogged with weed eater and metal blade yesterday - like that much more than string. Also took safety catch off it to keep it from dying every other sweep from clogging. 4 ft tough grass. Then mowed front yard and some of back. Ran off to work 2:15-8:15.
Today had some inside duties, stepped on scale to see 271.6 (down from 282.2 last Monday am) and then off to work. Should be here til about 8 tonight. Feeling good cause I have 2 reports on secretaries desk right now, and gonna add at least a 3rd before heading home for some sleep. Ate a couple carrots, some almonds, and sunflower seeds. Gotta hold me til get home.
