David, from my perspective, you are livin' large in Paradise. I know the beauty of the place seems to hide all the hard work you've done to get to this point, but you can be exceptionally proud of your accomplishments. You are a credit to the self-reliant spirit. :thumbsup:

Yes to that sentiment.

Glad to see you here this morning Jim.

Good Morning. 1025, cloudy, 72* with 88% humidity. Forecast calls for a high of 79* with a 50% chance of rain.

I've got to be at work at noon, so Margie is cooking an early lunch for us. Today is a big day for racing fans. The Cup drivers decide their championship in Homestead. And the F1 race, the GP of the Americas, is in Austin today. I'm recording both at home, but I will be doing a lot of clicking back and forth at work. And if the commercials line up right, I'll see what the football games are doing. {I wonder what my boss would say if I put another TV in my office} Everyone have a good day.

Sounds like your cook shed renovation should include a big, big screen TV with multi-channel viewing, six is probably enough. Maybe you can sell Margie on that idea over lunch.

Jim and Dave

Thanks for the kind words. To us, this is indeed Paradise, just paradise with a lot of work, LOL. That said, we don't lose sight of it and are constantly taking moments to reflect. We often joke about really retiring and how nice it must be for those that can just ring the phone and write a check to get stuff done, but likely boring too. Every now and then I'll run across some of the earlier pics and find the changes remarkable. I'm really blessed with a terrific helper.

As far as the flat tire on the Subaru:
...I got 35 psi in the tire. It seems to be holding pressure now (visually) and I'll check the pressure with a tire gage in a few hours.

Well, the tire is holding pressure (still at 35 PSI), so I guess it doesn't have a puncture....that's good news.

I don't see the temperature hitting 51 (per the forecast). It's mid-40's and quite raw. Almost feels like snow coming on....looks like it too.

Good morning folks! Second day in a row of feeling near normal, hope I finally got rid of whatever mystery virus I've had for over a month. Not perfect but not bedridden either. Had our son his wife and our oldest grandson this weekend and our daughter her husband and younger grandson were here as well. I think they all came to see me before I kicked the bucket!

had a nice time anyway.

Well, if you're really going to kick the bucket, can I have first dibbs on your Massey?

really glad you are feeling better.

We just had a tornado hit this area less than five miles away from where we are staying...so glad we were at the hotel as the warning was so sudden. It was 72 degrees and very windy when it happened.
