4/20/18 – Friday – Did not sleep well last night with that Halter Monitor on me. Went to the kitchen to find a note from Kathy. She had gone to Mike and Julie’s to babysit Chloe. Chloe was sick and had a doctor’s appointment. I went to my room and work on TinyCAD most of the day. I want to have everything drawn up for my audio project before I go to much further. I made my self lunch and at 3PM I disconnected myself from the Halter Monitor. Got in the shower and scrubbed all the sticky stuff off. Kathy came home and I got dressed and we went to Cattleman’s Roadhouse for dinner. Then home, some computer work, to bed, some TV and sleep.

4/21/18 – Saturday – Up and out to take the arch that Mike and I built up to his house on the trailer. Back and dropped the trailer then down to Taylorsville for lunch at Dairy Queen. Back home and started on the lawn. Finished up about 4PM. Back inside, cleaned up and had dinner. Down to my room for some computer work. Back upstairs to bed. Big Bang and sleep.

Now the specifics:

All the tests are done.  I had a breathing monitor on for two nights.  I had a Halter monitor on for a night.  I went into the cardiologist’s office and had an echo and stress test.  People that did the stuff for me were extremely nice.  Said I should have the results back by the end of next week.  I have a follow up appointment with the cardiologist on May 1st.  If this turns out to be another story that everything is OK you just need to live with it, then my primary care physician and I are going to have a serious talk.  This crap all started when he wanted to change medication on me because he didn’t want to write scripts for narcotics.  I take the smallest dosage available and he only gives me 90 pills every 6 months.  I don’t think I’m abusing them or selling them.  OK, I”ll get off my soap box now.

Have you heard that Amnesty International has made Colin Kaepernick their Ambassador of Conscience this year.  I almost shit myself.  I briefly checked out the Amnesty International web site and it looks like they don’t do much but stir up trouble.  Nothing productive that I can see anyway.  It also appears that they get their funding through donations.  I think that is going to be slim pickin’s in the US anyway.  It is hard to believe that any organization would celebrate a person being so disrespectful to a country.  But then again, Time magazine made Adolph Hitler “Man of the Year” in January of 1939.  I guess that shows just how much thought these people put into who they name for what.

Weather has been as changeable here as everywhere else.  It had been nice last weekend then Monday it was snowing most of the day.  Everything was warm so other than a little collecting on the grass, there was essentially no accumulation.  But still had idiots running around in shorts with it snowing outside and the temperature in the 30s.  Ya just can’t fix stupid.

Jim called this week and I gave him the word that I would not be making Rolling Thunder this year.  I just don’t feel sure enough about my health to be going out camping for 5 or 6 days in Lorton, VA.  One of the ladies that went last year is a little upset as I was going to be her ride.  I feel bad about it but I think I need to be a little cautious.  I’m 70 now and maybe that scares me a little.  Anyway, that’s my call right now.  Perhaps it will change toward the end of May but I am doubting it.

I think those are the highlights for this week.  If I forgot something I’ll catch up on it next week.  Bye for now.
