What a week!
Car set up to go to Raginracin Monday to get the engine work done. 2400 bucks to get that done we hope. Hopefully, they will not find nothing amist while getting everything apart and back together.

Yesterday was Stress Test on the treadmill for my cardio check up. Saw the heart rate get to 126 and I was breathing deep.  So shut down at 7 mins and 30 seconds.  Just getting back to good walking now since the knee so need to work on that.
The nurse was kinda edgy about the chart reading for the EKG but all else she was happy with. So, conference with Dr Dupre next week and she will let me know something.

So, pretty happy with the way the knee is coming back.  Not 100% yet but put it in the 80% range.
Now, if the lower back would get there, but, I wonder if it every will.

Next great thing was our great friends from Germany were here to greet me when I got back from my appointment. Been 7 years. Had a great visit around the table then to Mike's seafood to eat. More great times.

So great week for sure.

Decided to get the oil leaks on the Vette fixed.  Cheaper than selling and upgrading and don't need want any more power.
So, off to Raginracin yesterday morning for an estimate on changing out all the leaking engine gaskets, rear and front seals and damper pulley.   2400 bucks is very good to me with all the work that has to be done to get to all the gaskets.
So,  gave him 500 to cover gaskets and down payment on the work. He'll call when gets the parts in and we'll go from there.

Other is too much wine for two days straight. Gotta stop that and yesterday it was non. ;-)  Gotta keep that from being a habit.   The drinking part and not the non part. LOL.

Did redo my Light Room Library from scratch as it was pretty messed up. Re loaded just the 2019 directory in there and need to put stuff in there and make changes while in LR. ;-)
Old stuff from years pasted don't need to be there as I have it in other drives.

Not a lot happening since the last post.  So, till; the next. 

Moon shot from last night with drifting clouds and lots of light pollution. Good thing as this early morning ( 04:30 ) raindrop falling from the sky.

No walking about the last few days as me and cold are not the best of friends. But did do something with a few pics I took awhile back at the I-10 park.

3 photos combined in LRCC.

Did jack up the car to check underneath for leaks.  Yep, still leaking oil but not any worst than has been for the last 2 years.  Reckon I need to go to Ragin' Racing by Scott and talk to them about some work that needs to be done if I'm gonna keep the car.
Checking values , I'd be lucky to get 10 thousand for it and have about 15,000 in it including buying price.
And probably could get about 6,000 for my 03 truck.
So, I'll get me and the car up to the place in Scott next week and see about getting an estimate on work to be done. Pretty sure we looking at a couple thousand bucks at least.

And today! Gonna go see cuz at Tepetate to discuss up coming Veronie reunion. And, get the word spread about.

Oh well, Star Trek episode done for the morning, Breakfast done, Pills done. ( 2 of them LOL ) . Guess it's time to get ready for the morning walk about.

Alright! One set of new Toyo tires back on the car and a little test drive to seat them in before Alignment appointment this afternoon. 47 bucks for mounting and balancing and tire disposal at H & H and a visit with my old buddy and his wife Herb Touchet.

Well, did keep a few pics from the walk about the Park this early morning. Planes flying and a few peeps walking and of course the ducks to keep you company. Really do love my life.

Well , that's enuff football for the day. LSU 43 Utah St 6 Time to roam! Well YES! But where to? Hmmmmmmmm.

Hello Monday and what do you have for me today? Hmmmmmm. For sure some Beth Hart in the ear buds this morning. Love her blues style.
Do think it's gonna be a Suzy Da Bandit morning. The winds are stirring. ;-)
Course we gotta go visit the ducks at day break and watch maw earth rotate towards the big ball of fire in the sky on it's 280th day of rotation this year.

Not much roaming happening this afternoon with the approaching weather. But, so far, all tapering off before getting here. Sigh!
Tis okay as another 110 miles roaming this morning with Suzy Da Bandit. Just a round about covering Hayes, Bell City, Iowa, Kinder, Elton, Hathaway the back way and home. Still on the quest of turning 100K miles on that ometer.
Figs in the bucket to thaw for future wine. Well yes. ;-)
A few pics from this mornings early walk about the I 10 park. The 4 language post at the park and I can only read one. LOL.
Which looks better on the pic of the coming dawn. Vertical or Horizontal ?
And most all the ducks were on the North end of the pond this morning but hit the water soon and swam to the South side.

A glass of wine at Big O's, a little bottle of wine at Bubba's. a trip to Lyons for peanut butter ,. plus. Netflix time I think. LOL

10/8

Well Hello 66F or 19C. But do see clouds in the sky on my early morning look about while coffee and oatmeal happening.
So , we'll see what the day brings. Do have figs thawing in the shop so will be working with that this morning after the walk about.
Hope all have a great day.
Yesterday was great for me and another one on the way.

Nice and cool walking about the Greenwood and Calvary this morning.
Then C & C at the Fire Dept. Construction having fun with the old concrete pad that was put in for the old tower we got from the railroad peeps years back.
Now, sorting music time. With some Beth Hart at present.

Well, me and da car did roam this afternoon via 1126 to 99 to 14 to 101 to 165 to 190 to 97 to 368 to 91 to I-10 to 26 to Big O's for a couple glasses of wine then home. Hard to beat a buck a glass of wine during happy hour.

And that gets us to date so till the next.
