I finished Ocean Prey yesterday. There’s a whole series of books by John Sandford where the title ends in the word “Prey”.

I enjoyed the book, lots of scuba diving and boats and drugs and cops and mafia. I gave it 4 stars because I was getting the characters mixed up, , no fault of the author.

I’d recommend this book for a good read.

I have an opthamologist appointment today. Let’s see how the eye is doing. Let’s see how the new insurance is gonna do…

Gave a great day!

This morning on my walk run swim, I discovered the pool at Nova (formerly Cobalt Coast) was drained. It looks much bigger empty than when full.

Instill swam in the sea though, but it was a little rough. Two foot swells six feet apart

Today, I will continue to try to get my Social Security hooked up. I failed miserably yesterday.

Have a great day!

Hapoy New Year! It’s 5787!

It was a.pretty busy, long-seeming weekend. Friday I was supposed to receive a call from the Social Security office, but I got an email saying they couldn’t get through. I really look forward to dealing with THAT today.

I refined and improved my “go to the beach system “, and practiced.

i changed my leaky bathroom sink faucet and shower head.

Made another giant batch of pasta for the freezer/microwave…

And we had Rosh Hashanah services too.

I guess it WAS a busy weekend

I’m feeling brain damaged and needing much coffee this morning…

Looking forward to the much coffee part!

Have a great day!

Today marks 1600 consecutive days of meditation. I could never stop now.

25 years ago today, I went to work at the radio station, and the TV was on. The first plane that hit. As I stood there and watched, the second plane hit.
I had taken the day off on the 10th, and was on the beach. I was thinking “if this had happened yesterday I would not know anything about it”. I was disconnected from the world on the beach September 10th.

I exercise pretty much every day. I swim, walk, run and do yoga daily. I think I’m in pretty good shape.

Yesterday, i trimmed my hedges and mowed my (front) lawn. It was very difficult. My heart rate was nearly 100, I was sweating and felt strained. I was thinking that I wasn’t in that great shape.

It occurred to me that, yes, I can do these exercises, but when I do exercise that I don’t do every day, I’m just as out of shape as someone who doesn’t exercise at all.

Is this true? I seldom play pickleball, so when I do I find it quite strenuous.

This afternoon I need to mow the back lawn….

Have a great day?

I’m considering retiring my Boox Color Note 4 C

The screen is cracked badly . Back in the old days, when I worked at the airport, I dropped it and it kind of separated and the on/off switch was pressed inside. The screen either cracked when I dropped it or, more likely, when I was re-seating the power switch

The other day I dropped it again and the cracks got much worse.

it still works perfectly okay, 100%. The cracks are invisible most of the time except in the Sun. I can’t blame Boox,

I just started thinking about the glass breaking and becoming a hazard as far as getting cut is concerned.

Maybe the universe is telling me to upgrade to a Boox Color Note 5C with keyboard!!!

Have a great day!

There were a couple nice sunrises yesterday and today.

Above: yesterday’s sun under the cloud.

Todays orange fluffiness .

It seems to be human nature to focus on the negative and worry about the future, but every so often I realize how lucky I am, even in the low parts

I think I was in a depression after my visitors left. Maybe I still am, but I see how good things are, right at this minute. Grateful.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

I finished this book the other day, I read it because I was told to read it. I think you should read it too. It’ll be good for you.

Its about how humans are destroying the place.

This book if full of things we already knew but needed to hear again.
Someday maybe humanity will heed.

Hqve a GREAT day

Silent Nun

There was this lady, she decided she wanted to be a nun. She went down the street to the local nunnery and inquired with the pastor.The pastor said “Yes, you can be a nun, but this is a silent nunnery and you must take a vow of silence.”

Next thing you know, the woman’s a silent nun.

Five years go by, the pastor comes to the woman and says, “Happy 5th anniversary, you get to say two words.””Bed hard.” says the woman.”Okay,” says the pastor, “we can get you a softer mattress.

“Five more years go by..The pastor comes to the woman: “Happy 10th anniversary, you get to say two words.””Food cold” says the woman. “No problem,” says the pastor, “we’ll get the food from the kitchen to the serving line faster”

.Five more years pass. The pastor: “Happy 15th anniversary, you get to say two words.””I quit.” says the woman. “Probably a good thing,” says the pastor, “you’ve done nothing but complain since you’ve been here!”

Happy Friday . The sea this morning was even flatter than yesterday. Good for swimming.

Have a great weekend!

I meant to take a photo but forgot. The water this morning was almost perfectly flat. 2 inch swells 10nfeet apart. Fantastic.

Above is today’s exercise so far

the day is still young.

Things are great!; Can’t complain!

Oh wait, I can complain. Today I have to start paying for my Thursday/Saturday yoga classes. I’m tryin’ to swing a deal…

Yeay! When things are good! I can still complain!

have a great day.
