Now the specifics:

Had a good time after church last week with the pot luck dinner. We have some good cooks in that church. Everything was good and a great variety.

Monday I was off to work and Kathy started the yard work. I got home around lunch time, had lunch and took a quick nap then out and did the trimming and cutting the heavy stuff with the push mower. We finished up around 5:30. We didn’t get a lot of things done but it will wait till next time.

I ordered and received a carburetor for the pressure washer and the side view mirror for the vibe. Once I get everything running that runs on gas, I’m going to make sure I only use the 0% ethanol in things. The larger machines like the yard tractor and the zero turn have rather larger carbs so they don’t block up as easy. But the things that are 2 cycle and the push mowers and the power washer all have smaller carbs that tend to get gummed up rather easily. In some cases I’m able to blow out the crap but sometimes not so easy. I need to change the carburetor on the pressure washer then I’ll see if I can clean up the old one. I also have a push mower I’ve got to get running. Things I should have been on this winter.

Sounds like Lynn has been busy in Florida. She spends as much time there as she does in Texas. I guess one day she’ll get tired of that long drive and sell her property in Texas or Florida. Time will tell.

Didn’t work too much this week. Had family court Monday and worked for that but that is usually a short day. Then I did my usual shift on the door Thursday. I think I’ll be doing 3 days this week. Monday again for some reason. Then Wednesday for Circuit Court and probably drug court in the afternoon. Then my usual Thursday shift. Still not bad.

Well working hard at PT. Able to get down and back up without putting my hand on the ground. Don’t think I can do that more than a couple times a day so at this point I’d still have to put my hand on the ground to get up at the Academy. I do think I have strengthened my leg muscles to the point I could do the Academy. But I told them I want to continue coming till a week or so before I go back down. They agreed so we’ll see what the insurance folks say.

Made Jambalaya with my son-in-law Saturday. That’s always a fun time. Kathy took advantage of Mike being here and went up and did Julie’s hair since Mike doesn’t like the smell of that stuff. Neither do I but I guess he has more pull in his family than I do. lol

Well, that’s about it for this week. As always, hope this finds everyone safe and healthy. Stay that way and I’ll blog at you again next week.
