Big Day

What a nice day! I got off to a slow start and slept in until about 9:00. By the time I did my exercises, and got cleaned up it was really nice outside. While Vera cleaned around the rhubarb which is coming up. I went over to see the twins. They were out enjoying the sunshine and I got to hold Ava for quite a while. It was funny to watch her suck on her shirt, then my shirt, I came home with a wet cuff. After icing the knee for a few minutes it was outside again to clean the pond.


Vera did most of the heavy work, but the steam is flowing normally again. The filter was so plugged that there was just a trickle coming down. After that we sat on the deck by the pond and enjoyed the sunshine. Some where in this time frame there was lunch, more ice and a short nap.


I decided to do some trimming on a helicopter I had put a new radio in.

I had to look at this one twice when I saw it, I did not fall down. I got down there so I could check the tracking on the heli's blades. Let me tell you it was a lot harder getting up than getting down there. I played with it until I ran the battery down.

While Vera had the camera out she went around taking some pictures of flowers. There are quite a few in bloom now and it really smells good by some of them.

Hope you got to enjoy the nice day!

Must be getting better!

Well, I must be getting better as I started looking for things to do today. The handles on my walker were leaving a smell on my hands. I had Vera go with me out to the shop to get some tape. While we were there, I loaded her up with a helicopter, transmitter and charger. On the way back I was looking for something to take a picture of and spotted the Azalea's. Looks like spring is trying to arrive. After taking the picture, Vera suggested a walk around the house. I worked up a sweat doing that as the walker need a fair amount of pushing in the soft grass. I charged up the heli while taping up the handles and flew it around the living room this afternoon. Elevating my leg has really helped with the swelling and discoloration. It was a good day, my hands smell good again, I had some fun playing and so far today only 2 pain pills. Hope you are having a good weekend.

Shop Cleanup

It has been a long time since I could see the top of my drawing table. My two favorite helicopters are parked there now.


Before I started the big cleanup there was about a 12 x 12 inch space available for working on my electronics bench. I repaired all the half done projects as I went so maybe it will stay clear for a while.

My building area, I did not take a picture soon enough here as the next project is started already. It should be done today, so I will clean it again tonight(I hope).
